An appropriate implementation for a patient with severe psoriasis who has a nursing diagnosis of “Disturbed body image related to skin lesions” would be:
1.   touching the patient often.
2.   reassuring the patient of a quick remission.
3.   reminding the patient to bathe often.
4.   prompt administration of PRN medications.

My answer would be number 4. I say that because if they have severe psoriasis the patient wouldn't want to be touched often, also, they shouldn't be, touching the patient often has the possibility of making the psoriasis wose. The same goes with telling the patient to bathe often. The patient needs to bathe, but bathing too much can also worsen the condition. For number 2. I wouldn't reassure the patient of a quick remission unless I knew that it was possible. The nurse should not give false reassurances and I feel like number 2 is possibly doing that. I hope this helps...I'm sorry I don't know the answer for sure.
