Answer: Chronic Confusion
Explanation:
A nursing diagnosis is a statement indicating several different potential problems a patient may face. A person's response to actual and potential health problems. It is the foundation for establishing and carrying out a patient care plan.
The components of a Nursing Diagnosis include;
▪the two-part plan: problem statement and etiology (causes)
▪the three-part plan: problem statement, etiology and defining characteristics. The phrase, "As evidenced by..." (AEB) is joined to the first two components.
Going by the three-part plan, the diagnosis, "Chronic Confusion related to loss of cognitive function as evidenced by incoherent language." can be split thus,
▪problem statement: Chronic confusion
▪etiology (cause): loss of cognitive function
▪defining characteristics: incoherent language.
