Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client is struggling with balancing multiple roles and tasks, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and fatigue. Ineffective Role Performance is a nursing diagnosis that reflects difficulties with fulfilling expected roles and responsibilities. Chronic Low Self-Esteem may be an appropriate diagnosis if the client's difficulties with role performance have led to negative self-perceptions. Disturbed Body Image and Parental Role Conflict are not relevant to the client's current situation.
