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

Evaluation Goal met. Patient verbalized acceptance of self in situation.

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

Nursing Intervention Assess the cause of decrease urinary output

Rationale To be able to apply the proper therapeutic regimen.

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

Monitor intake & output hourly Percuss/palpate suprapubic area.

Sodium- 134 decreased (135-145 mg/dl)

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.

Age: 77 yrs. old

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.
