NURSING DIAGNOSIS Risk for fluid volume imbalance related to restriction of oral intake prior to surgery, blood loss at the access site and via catheter, osmotic dieresis due to the contrast agent
PLANNING SHORT TERM GOAL: y After 4 hours of nursing intervention patient s vital signs will fall within the normal level; RR 1220brpm, PR 60-100bpm
INTERVENTION INDEPENDENT y Monitor vital signs such as temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure
RATIONALE y Vital sign changes such as increased heart rate, decreased blood pressure, and elevated temperature is present in condition with fluid volume deficit. Fluid volume deficit can alter mental status due to decrease cerebral perfusion Indicates excessive fluid loss and result of dehydration
y LONG TERM GOAL: y During 8 hours of nursing intervention patient will be able to maintain fluid volume at a functional level as evidenced by: o Adequate urinary output o vital signs fall within normal limit ( RR 1220brpm, PR 60100bpm) o moist skin and mucous membrane o <3 seconds capillary refill Patient will be able to maintain fluid restriction for 8 hours prior to surgery Regulated IV fluid before and during surgery y
Document baseline mental status and monitor mental status throughout the procedure Observe for excessively dry skin and mucous membranes, decrease skin turgor, slowed capillary refill Observe for excessive bleeding on the incision site Monitor and record fluid intake and output balance
To prevent even greater fluid volume deficit Decreased urinary output may indicate fluid deficit and may require fluid replacement through IV fluid To prevent fluid volume deficit
