Sue is a 22-year-old female who is a second-year student nurse and lives in a share house independently. She moved from interstate two years ago to begin her Nursing degree. Sue has no other conditions and does not take any medications. Sue has a good network of friends who she catches up with on a regular basis. Sue works in a restaurant four nights a week and is a full-time university student. Her irregular working hours and university study load means that she often does not get adequate sleep from Thursday to Monday. Often, Sue eats on the go or skips meals in between her busy daily activities.

Day 1: Sue starts to notice that she is feeling run down and lethargic. She notices she has an infected toenail, and she is feeling very thirsty all the time and starts to drink more water.

Day 2: Sue starts drinking more and more water to try to combat her thirst. She is also starting to urinate frequently throughout the day and overnight. Sue is frequently reaching for the lolly jar to satisfy some sweet cravings. She is so exhausted that she calls in sick to work because of her lethargy and her infected toenail. She makes a doctor’s appointment to get a certificate and while she is there, the doctor assesses her BGL which is 19mmol/L. Her GP completes a set of vital signs: HR 124bpm, BP 98/56, RR 26, SpO2 100%, temp 37.2. Her GP instructs her to go to her local emergency department.

Question 2 Identify & prioritise at least 2 nursing problems. (You are only required to complete the care plan based on the problem of highest priority).
