Fear can take forms other than specific phobias. One such fear is social
anxiety. In contrast to shyness—a normal trait that varies
by personality and culture—social anxiety disorder encompasses a deeper
fear of judgment, evaluation, and rejection by other people. When the root of
the fear is social judgment, whether being introduced to someone new or
eating in front of others, an individual may have social anxiety disorder, also
called social phobia.

Agoraphobia refers not to fear of a specific threat but to any situation that
would be difficult to escape or get help, such as in a movie theater or subway
car. Rather than a specific scenario, people with agoraphobia fear broad
categories including public transportation, open spaces, enclosed spaces,
crowds, and being away from home.

Post-traumatic stress disorder may develop after surviving severe stress or

danger, such as a car accident, earthquake, assault, or combat.

I'm working on a care plan for an infant who has been diagnosed with failure to thrive. I
only need one nursing diagnosis but I'm not sure which to pick... imbalanced nutrition:
less than body requirements or delayed growth/development. I have to state 3 goals
and 7 interventions with rationales. Any suggestions?

The nursing diagnosis that you choose as your first priority will be based upon your
assessment of the infant. I realize that you may not have had a chance to examine and
interact with the baby yet, so you may be forced to rely upon the information provided
to you in your patient summary.

What is the baby's age, length, weight and head circumference? What is the baby's
typical oral intake? What is the baby's sleep/wake pattern? What developmental
milestones has the baby achieved? These are all important bits of information that are
needed to determine which nursing diagnosis is most appropriate.

when anyone is diagnosed medically with failure to thrive it is usually because they are
malnourished. read about and look up the symptoms of malnutrition. see if this patient
has any of them. diagnosing follows a very set regimen of assessing and then analyzing
the data. a diagnosis is picked based upon the signs and symptoms that the patient has.
the nursing process is the tool we use to do that because it is a problem solving method
and care planning is merely problem solving. this thread on the student forums was
started to help with writing care plans:

 https://allnurses.com/forums/f50/help-care-plans-286986.html  - assistance - help with

care plans

delayed growth and development would not be appropriate to use if this baby is

failing to thrive. nutrition and eating is more important to focus on. interventions will
 target and treat the symptoms that the patient has. goals are the predicted results you
expect to see as a result of your interventions being performed.

I went with the imbalanced nutrition but I'm having a hard time coming up with realistic
goals since I only had two days with the infant... weight is a big issue because he is 8
months old and only weighs 14 pounds.

imbalanced nutrition what? less than body requirements? what is your related factor?
the reason that this has occurred? an inability to eat enough or not getting enough to
eat in the first place? and why is this happening? what medical problem is at the bottom
of all this? are there congenital anomalies going on that mean this baby will never feed
normally? that is important information that is going to affect nursing interventions.
what are the signs and symptoms of this imbalanced nutrition? not eating enough is not
the only symptom. nanda lists these as the defining characteristics of imbalanced
nutrition: less than body requirements:

 abdominal cramping
  abdominal pain (babies express pain by crying)
 aversion to eating
 body weight 20% or more under ideal
 capillary fragility
 diarrhea
 excessive loss of hair
 hyperactive bowel sounds
 lack of food
 lack of information
 lack of interest in food
 loss of weight with adequate intake

Love in the Time of COVID-19

Andrea F. Polard Psy.D. on April 30, 2020 in A Unif

If fear is disrupting or overtaking an individual's life, seeking therapy can
help. A qualified therapist can identify ways to develop coping mechanisms
and release the fear.

One primary treatment for fears is exposure therapy. A therapist guides the
patient to gradually and repeatedly engage with the phobia in a safe
environment to strip away the threat associated with it. For example, someone
with a fear of flying may be prompted to think about planes, view pictures of
planes, visit the airport, step onto a plane, and eventually complete a flight.

Virtual reality has become a useful delivery tool for exposure therapy.
Evidence suggests that the modality is particularly effective for specific
phobias and anxiety disorders, and the treatment outcomes appear to be
no different in virtual and real settings. Virtual reality may also offer an
opportunity to reach more people with accessible and affordable care.

Another key treatment is cognitive-behavioral therapy, often practiced in

conjunction with exposure therapy. CBT helps people challenge and reframe

the harmful belie Fear

Why Do We Feel Fear?

Fear is a vital response to physical and emotional danger that has been
pivotal throughout evolution. If people didn’t feel fear, they wouldn’t be able to
protect themselves from legitimate threats—which often had life-or-death
consequences in the ancestral world.

In the modern world, the stakes are lower. Although public speaking,

elevators, and spiders generally don’t present immediately ied Theory of Happiness

The right mindset allows us to love even under stressful circumstances.
