Nursing Diagnosis
Planning
Intervention Independent
Rationale
Evaluaton
Decreased Cardiac output r/t decreased venous return secondary to eclampsia, altered BP and edema
Short Term: After 3 hrs of nursing interventions, the pt will display blood pressure within her normal range Long Term: After 3 days of nursing interventions, the pt will demonstrate activities that reduce the workload of the heart.
1)Establish rapport 2.Monitor and assess VS 3.Assess the pts general physical condition 4.Determine baseline vital signs/hemodynamic Parameters including peripheral pulses. 5. Review signs of impending failure /shock. 6.Position with flat or keep trunk horizontal while raising legs 20 to 30 degrees (contraindicated in congestive state in which semi-fowlers position is preferred) 7. Promote adequate rest by decreasing stimuli.
1.To gain pts trust and cooperation 2.To obtain baseline 3.To determine presence of abnormality 4.Provides opportunities to track changes
Short Term: The pt shall have displayed hemodynamic stability (blood pressure within closer range)
Long Term: The pt shall have demonstrated activities that reduce the workload of the heart (stress management, therapeutic medication regimen program, balanced activity/rest plan
