Nursing Diagnosis:

Nursing diagnosis refers to the individual, family or community’s medical judgement pertaining to their day-to-day responses to the processes of life mostly those related to their health state. After the medical judgement has been made, an appropriate nursing intervention is employed in order to help in restoring the normal state of the patient (King, Hawley, & Weller, 2008). As such the type of intervention to help the patient would probably depend on the diagnosis issue.

The nursing issue in Kate’s case:

Jake is a child who has the following issue; does not like other children’s company, does not eat like other, likes being lonely and watching movies, does not like talking unlike other, has a weight of 3.5 kg less than a normal 4 year old child, has a feeling of shyness in people’s presence,

Interventions Rationales for Interventions

Review the parenting system that Jake’s mother uses to raise him (Talbot, & Verrinder, 2010). The parenting system contributes highly towards the child’s cognitive development. This happens when during parenting time; the mother regularly tests the child’s learning skills (King, Hawley, & Weller, 2008).

Review the type of food that Sally gives to Jake regularly during different meal times. This enables the research find out the diet that the boy is used to (Crisp, & Taylor, 2009). Jake does not like eating meals during lunch time and in addition to that, he only knows about the packed food that his mother gives to him. There is need to understand the dietary requirement for a four year old like Jake and advice Sally to take responsibility by cooking food in the house and give the boy enough food. The fact that the boy is weak and weightless, it means the boy does not eat meals with the right diet that a child requires.

Review the distance at which the boy is allowed to walk or go to play during free time (King, Hawley, & Weller, 2008). The freedom and allowance that Sally gives her child from the time he started walking and seeing others in the neighbourhood determines the social state of the child. Jake does not socialize with others free through conversation or plays because he is not used to from his early childhood age. Therefore, Sally should identify neighbours that have got children and take Jake there to get used to others (Perry, & Potter, 2010).

Find out the type of people that the child finds time to associate with. This might include the family member, neighbours or friend (Hxolland, Jenkins, Solomon, & Whittam, 2008). The shyness that the boy shows on his face when he meets with older people is because he is not used to sitting in an environment of grown up people. This has hindered the boy from learning what people do outside there. Therefore, Sally should start taking the child to her family members or family friends so that the child learns more about humanity as he grows up (Dillon, 2007).

Review the background of the child’s mother and find out the type of life and family that she grew up in (Talbot, & Verrinder, 2010). The family and parenting style that Sally had while she was young is the cause of the defects made in her parenting responsibility. She restricts her child from a wide variety of meals and from playing with other children. Sally should have learned this child care type from her life experience. In this case, she should be informed that the parenting system she is using has a negative impact on the child (Levett-Jones, & Bourgeois, 2011).

Direct Sally to a parenting professional to advice he on the right parenting system (Perry, & Potter, 2010). A specialist in parenting system would advice Sally of the right parenting system that is required in order to restore the state of her child to normal. These include things such as response to meals, play time and socializing with other people. This is because most of the issue being faced by Jake are associated with an impaired parenting system (Staunton, & Chiarella, 2008).

Direct Sally to go to a specialist in childhood nutrition for nutritional advice as to what the child requires (Hxolland, Jenkins, Solomon, & Whittam, 2008). Since Jake is weightless, it means he is suffering from malnutrition and therefore, there is need of being given meals that supply him with a balanced diet. This is the only way through which the health of Jake can be restored to what a normal 4 year child. This would additionally contribute to the child’s physical development such as height and body size. This would also help the child in getting used to a variety of meals unlike what he was introduced to by his mother (Talbot, & Verrinder, 2010).

Advice Sally to seek for social intervention from the neighbours and good friends (Dillon, 2007). The child requires company of other children of his age in order to learn what other kids do in life. In order to facilitate this, Sally should to a place where the neighbours have young children of Jakes age. This would help the Jake in playing and general socialization which helps the child in social development. When a child develops socially, he gains ability and an urge of playing with others freely and comfortably (O’Toole, 2008).

Direct Sally to a specialist in childhood education to advice her on what should be done to enhance the academic state of the child as he grows (Levett-Jones, & Bourgeois, 2011). Academic intervention would help child in cognitive development and through this the academic understanding level of the child would be high. Ability to read and identify mathematical numbers. This enhances the skills and speed of a child understands (Talbot, & Verrinder, 2010).

Review the family way of life, source of living and other related issues that might have caused Sally’s concentration to an extend of not giving time to her child (Jarvis, 2012). The parenting system that Sally used for Jake indicates that she is mostly pre-occupied by something that is why she intends to buy already cooked food for her child. If that is the case, then Sally should hire a house helper which is experienced in child care to help her in taking care of Jake (Crisp, & Taylor, 2009).

Direct Sally to a professional councillor and advisor who in turn would tell her he role as a mother and the only parent towards the child’s development (Hxolland, Jenkins, Solomon, & Whittam, 2008). There is need to advice and encourage Sally that despite the fact that she has her other roles to play, taking care of her child is also a responsibility and requires concern. In addition to that, she does not recognize the importance of group play to a child. This is the reason why Sally has not taken Jake to a neighbour who has children so that he can play with others. This would have helped in the child’s social development. Therefore, in order for the Jake to develop uniformly, Sally as a mother has to perform her parenting duty in the right way (Dillon, 2007).

Report on the findings:

From the state o Jake, it can be seen that child growth and development of a child requires a lot of parenting techniques which lies within a whole society (Harris, Nagy, & Vardaxis, 2010). Jake’s improvement into a normal state like other children requires a lot of interventions which are; social, educational and medical. Therefore, parents should subject their children to appropriate parenting systems in order to facilitate their normal growth and development.
