Medical Diagnosis: ESRD secondary to DM Nephropathy Short-term Goal: At the end of my shift, patient will verbalize acceptance of self in situation.
Long-term Goal: At the end of hospitalization, patient will demonstrate adaptation to changes or events that have occurred.
Problem
Scientific Rationale
ANXIETY Anxiety is a normal experience. Moderate or high level of anxiety can increase alertness and performance in particular situations. However, people who experience continues or recurring fears or episodes of intense fear can feel powerless to manage their symptoms and their lives can become severely restricted.
Nursing Interventions Assessed level of fear of client. Explained procedures/ care as delivered. Repeated explanations frequently as needed.
Rationale
http:/www.panicanxietydisorder.o rg au /index.htm
Helps determine the kind of interventio ns required. Fear of unknown is lessened by information & may enhance acceptanc e of permanen ce of ESRD and necessity for dialysis. Creates feeling of openness & cooperatio n& provides information that will assist in problem identificatio n/ solving.
Nursing Diagnosis: Altered Fluids & electrolytes r/t Urinary retention as evidence increase K & decrease Na. Short term Goal: At the end of my shift, patient will be able to increase urine output at least 1500cc in 24 hrs. Long term Goal: At the end of hospitalization, the patient will be able to have a normal urine output & voiding pattern.
Cues S- No subjective Objective: Decreased of urine output 380cc Dribbling of urine Potassium7.47 increased (3.5- 5.0 mg/dl)
Problem Oliguria
Scientific Rationale The production of an abnormally small volume of urine. This may be a result of copious sweating, kidney disease, loss of blood
Evaluation Goal partially met-patient passed out urine at least 300 cc.
Encourage client to void every 2-4 hrs & when urge is noted Determine the initial fluids and electrolytes level
May minimize urinary retention/overdisten tion of the bladder Serve as baseline for progress.
To determine the progress of the disease A distended bladder can be felt in the suprapubic area.
Observe Signs and symptoms of fluids & electrolytes imbalance such as dyspnea changes in ECG and restlessness.
To be able to prevent further complication and administer proper therapeutic agents as prescribed.
Name: Mrs. MM Medical Diagnosis: ESRD secondary to DM Nephropathy Nursing Diagnosis: Sleep pattern disturbance r/t urinary frequency
Short-term Goal: at the end of my shift, the clients will increase the sleeping hours from 5 hrs. to 8 hrs. Long-term Goal: At the end of the patients hospitalization, patient achieves optimal amount of sleep as evidenced by rested appearance, verbalization of having a good sleep and improvement in sleep pattern.

Medical Diagnosis:ESRD secondary to DM Nephropathy Nursing Diagnosis:Decreased tissue perfusion related to peripheral vasoconstriction as manifested by high blood pressure. Short Term Goal:At the end of my shift, patient will decrease blood pressure from 160/90 to 130/90 Long - Term Goal: At the end of the patients hospitalization, will maintain adequate tissue perfusion as evidenced by BP declining toward normal range for client. CUES Subjective: No subjective PROBLEM Decreased Tissue Perfusion SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE Constriction of the peripheral blood vessels will alter the flow of blood to perfuse the different cells of the body. Reference: www.elsevier.co m NURSING INTERVENTION . Measure and recorded blood pressure as indicated RATIONALE Provides objective data for monitoring. Presence of pallor: cool, moist skin; and delays capillary refill time may be due to peripheral vasoconstricti on. May indicate heart or EVALUATION Goal not met. Patients blood pressure remained 160/90.
Objective: Oliguria Hyperten sive Restless ness Cold and clammy skin
renal failure
Provided calm, restful surroundings, minimize environmental activity/noise. Limit the number of visitors and length of stay. Maintain activity restrictions; such as bed rest/chair rest; schedule periods of uninterrupted rest; assisted client with self-care activities as needed.
Helps reduce sympatheti c stimulation ; promotes relaxation. Reduces physical stress and tension that affect blood pressure and the course of hypertensi on. Decreases discomfort and may reduce sympatheti c stimulation
Provided comfort
measure such back massage, elevation of head. Administered antihypertensive medications as prescribed
Antihypert ensive medication s play a key role in treatment of hypertensi on associated with chronic renal failure. Adherence to diet and fluid restrictions and dialysis schedule prevents excess fluid and sodium
