A 28-year-old HIV positive patient complains of burning pain and lesions over the face for one day. On physical examination, the patient has vesicles with erythematous base on the right face and eyelid. The patient is worried about the disfiguring of her body. What is the priority nursing diagnosis for this patient? a. Acute pain b. Impaired skin integrity c. Anxiety d. Body image disturbance

The priority nursing diagnosis for this patient would be "Impaired skin integrity" (Option b). The patient's symptoms of burning pain and lesions on the face, along with the physical examination findings of vesicles with an erythematous base, indicate a potential infection or inflammation affecting the skin integrity. This diagnosis takes precedence as it directly addresses the physical manifestation of the patient's condition, which is causing immediate discomfort and potential complications.
