He appears confused and anxious, saying that they put the evil eye on me, they want me to die, they are drying out my bodyits draining me drythey are yelling, they are yellingno, no, Im not badoh, God, dont let them get me! When his mother arrives in the ED, she tells the staff, through the use of an interpreter, that Pedro is a severe diabetic, has a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia, and this happens when he doesnt take his medications. In a group or in collaboration with a classmate, respond to the following: 1. A number of nursing diagnoses are possible in this scenario. Given the provided information, formulate at least two nursing diagnoses (problems) and include related to and as evidenced by as appropriate. 2. For each of your nursing diagnoses, write out one long-term outcome (the problem, what should change, etc.).

What specific needs might you take into account when planning nursing care for Mr. Gonzales? 4. Using the SOAPIE format (see Table 7.4), formulate an initial nurses note for Mr. Gonzales.
