List NANDA nursing diagnosis, supporting data, and interventions. List Supporting Data under each nursing diagnosis to support each diagnosis, including lab data, medications, assessment findings in clockwise order. List Interventions for Each Nursing Diagnosis. All medical & nursing interventions should be found in one or more of the boxes. Evaluate Each Nursing Diagnosis on the following page.

2. Impaired Gas Exchange Data to Support: Dx of COPD, coarse crackles, resp labored with activity; RR=22 resting, é RR w/activity Interventions: Assess O2 sat, administer O2 during periods of dyspnea, administer humidified RA to liquefy congestive secretions and improve breathing, elevate HOB to improve effectiveness of respirations. Meds: Duoneb (bronchodilator) and Advair (corticosteroid)- égas exchange by opening the airways, assess ABGs

1. Ineffective airway management Data to Support: Trach, thick, copious secretions, difficulty expelling secretions Interventions: Assess O2 sat, RR and ease of breathing, administer O2 during periods of dyspnea, administer humidified RA to liquefy congestive secretions and improve breathing, elevate HOB to improve effectiveness of respirations. Encourage cough and assist with cough as needed. During episodes of partial or complete airway occlusion r/t mucous plug, rapidly push 10mL NS directly in to trach to mobilize secretions and assist with expulsion. Meds: Duoneb (bronchodilator) and Advair (corticosteroid)- égas exchange by opening the airways

5. Risk for aspiration Data to Support: Dx of COPD (excessive fluids) with trach and difficulty expelling mucous, ineffective/depressed cough, heavy pain medication administration, decreased GI mobility and tube feedings, impaired swallowing, previous aspiration on admission Interventions: Assess cough, gag reflex, swallowing ability, auscultate bowel sounds for GI motility, assess lung sounds for crackles/ronchi, suction as needed, elevate HOB, check GT tube residuals

3. Excess fluid volume Data to Support: Dx of COPD, coarse crackles in lungs, generalized edema Interventions: Auscultate lung sounds, Monitor I&O (Consult with physician to consider starting pt on diuretic therapy)

Chief Medical Diagnosis: COPD Priority Assessments: Pt is at risk for respiratory failure, so monitoring lung sounds, RR, ease of breathing, and O2 sat is crucial. Pt also has a trach, cancer, and PVD, so trach patency, pain management and effective tissue perfusion are important for this pt as well.

4. Anxiety r/t pain management Data to Support: Pt frequently requesting pain medication and asking when the next dose of Dilaudid or oxycodone can be administered, pt appears agitated prior to administration of pain meds Interventions: Assess pt’s pain level and administer pain medication on time, write analgesic schedule on pt’s whiteboard to relieve anxiety of when next dose will be administered, reassure pt that his pain meds will be received as quickly as possible to manage pain levels, (Consult with physician to consider adding an anti-anxiety to pt’s medication list)

6. Risk for bleeding Data to Support: Platelet count 32, multiple scattered bruises on lower extremities Interventions: Assess skin for wounds, bruising, prolonged bleeding at puncture sites, monitor PLT count and coagulation studies (no PT/INR in pt labs), monitor VS for decreased BP and increase, use soft toothbrush and electric razor to prevent injury, fall precautions.

Page 5: Care Plan

hydromorphone  (Dilaudid),  2mg  IV  Q3h  PRN  

Opioid  agonist  analgesic;  Acts  on  the  CNS  to  fill  opioid  (mu)  receptors  causing  pain  relief  

This  pt  has  pain  ranging  between  7  and  9.  This  med  will  reduce  his  pain  to  enhance  comfort  and  reduce  anxiety  r/t  pain.  

Constipation,  n/v,  hypotension,  resp.  depression,  apnea,  avoid  activities  requiring  mental  alertness.  Administer  over  2  minutes.  

ipratropium/albuterol  (Duoneb),  0.5  mg/  2.5  mg/  3  mL,  oral  inhalation  Q6h  RT  

Beta  2  adrenergic  agonist/  bronchodilator/  sympathomimetic/  anticholinergic.  Albuterol  is  a  sympathomimetic/beta  2  agonist  that  activates  these  receptors  to  relax  the  smooth  muscles  of  the  airway.  Ipratropium  is  an  anticholinergic  that  produces  a  local  effect  (opposed  to  systemic)  that  causes  bronchodilation.  

This  pt  has  COPD  with  a  recent  exacerbation.  It  is  therefore  important  to  maintain  a  relaxed,  dilated  airway  to  enhance  oxygenation  and  prevent  another  exacerbation.  This  is  a  short  acting  med  in  comparison  to  the  Symbicort.  

This  med  can  cause  GI  disturbances,  upper  resp.  infections,  arrhythmias,  bronchospasm,  blurred  vision  and  dizziness.  Remain  in  bed  after  administration  of  this  med  to  prevent  falls.  

sucralfate  (Carafate),  1g/10mL,  1  g  Q10-­‐30min  before  meals  and  at  bed  

Antiulcer;  forms  an  ulcer-­‐adherent  complex  with  proteinaceous  exudate,  such  as  albumin  and  fibrinogen,  at  the  ulcer  site,  protecting  it  against  further  acid  attack.  Also  forms  a  barrier  on  the  stomach  to  protect  from  further  damage.  

This  pt  is  receiving  many  medications  that  cause  GI  irritation.  This  med  will  prevent  acid  erosion/irritation  of  the  stomach  lining  to  prevent  GI  ulcers.  

Constipation,  albumin  toxicity  in  pts  with  renal  failure  

ondansetron  (Zofran),  2mg/mL,  4mg  IV  Q6h  PRN  

Antiemetic,  Serotonin  receptor  antagonist;  Prevents  nausea  by  blocking  5-­‐HT3  receptors  peripherally  on  vagal  nerve  terminals  and  centrally  in  the  chemoreceptor  trigger  zone.  

This  pt  is  in  constant  pain  and  has  anxiety  r/t  his  pain.  This  often  leads  to  nausea.  This  med  will  reduce  the  pt's  nausea,  making  him  more  comfortable.  

Constipation,  diarrhea,  increased  liver  enzymes,  headache,  fatigue,  malaise,  prolonged  QT  interval  

oxycodone  (Roxicodone),  10mg  oral  tab  Q6h  PRN  

Opioid  agonist  analgesic;  Acts  on  the  CNS  to  fill  opioid  (mu)  receptors  causing  pain  relief  

This  pt  has  pain  ranging  between  7  and  9.  This  med  will  reduce  his  pain  to  enhance  comfort  and  reduce  anxiety  r/t  pain.  

Constipation,  n/v,  hypotension,  resp.  depression,  apnea,  avoid  activities  requiring  mental  alertness.  

temazapam  (Restoril),  15mg  oral  cap  at  bed  PRN  insomnia  

Benzodiazepine/Hypnotic;  Enhances  the  effects  of  GABA  to  produce  a  calming  effect  on  the  body.  

This  pt  has  anxiety  r/t  pain,  which  often  causes  insomnia.  With  an  unstable,  unfamiliar  hospital  environment,  it  is  easy  to  become  anxious.  This  med  helps  ease  anxiety  to  make  sleep  easier.  

Hypotension,  somnolence,  lethargy,  avoid  activities  requiring  mental  alertness,  teach  pt  to  report  abnormal  thoughts/behaviors.  This  drug  is  not  taken  on  a  regular  basis,  used  as  needed  for  insomnia.

Student Clinical Self-Appraisal Weekly (turn in with Care Plan/Map)

Student: Alyssa Cardinal Course: N4810 Instructor: Sherri Brown Instructions: Please evaluate your performance during clinical today using the following concepts: Client Advocate Professional Demeanor Flexible Critical Thinking Communication/rapport Coordinator of Care Self-Initiated Technical skills Team Player Professional Accountability Organized Educator Leadership Well-prepared Ability to Prioritize Nursing Process Comprehensive Assessment Knowledgeable Areas of Strength Today (Date) Critical thinking: This pt’s case was very complex and I feel I did well thinking outside of the lines to determine some of his clinical manifestations. Technical skills: I felt so much more comfortable using the monitors and starting IV meds today. Communication/rapport: I formed an excellent rapport with my pt and nurse this week. This facilitated my learning experience and made the day go by so much faster and easier.

Areas Needing Growth-Include plan of improvement Organized: My organization this week was far better, but I could definitely use improvement in this area. Knowledgeable: As I’m still learning the pathophysiology behind advanced heart and lung disorders and their associated lab values and treatments, I need more time learning and retaining these topics. Comprehensive Assessment: Although I felt my assessments were better this week, they still need the most improvement.

Instructor Comments: Case Map problem #3- I loved your entire case map great job the only thing I have issue with is your fluid overload. You need to support it more. I/0 ratio etc. Because the trach secreations could be causing the airway changes. So you need to support it more, you could have increase BP, more input then output. And other objective data. I love having you in clinical you are a smart young lady who will be a great nurse. Make sure your entire care plan matches throughout.
