Found that link by using what msmaximus suggested, GREAT website!

Don't let this be your only resource for care plans though, you need to understand them and how they work/why you don't pick certains ones with certain R/T clauses, etc. Nothing replaces know-how.

what it means by aeb?Im new here

treborhon. . .in a nursing diagnostic statement, such as this:

Impaired Urinary Elimination R/T urinary tract infection AEB burning upon voiding and hematuria

R/T and AEB are just abbreviations so we don't have to write out the words "related to" for the R/T or "as evidenced by" for the AEB. Otherwise, we would have to write out the nursing diagnostic statement like this:

Impaired Urinary Elimination related to urinary tract infection as evidenced by burning upon voiding and hematuria.

Hey I didn't scroll too far back in this thread, so I don't know if anyone has posted this yet...
At clinicals, we have to make a concept map and most of the time our patient has been discharged, so we have to scramble around and make another one. I have started carrying this book:
"Clinical Companion to Medical Surgical Nursing", by Dirkensen. Its like the huge one, but smaller and fits into a lab coat.
Inside the book has diseases and good diagnoses that match them.- and on the back and front cover, has all of the NANDA diagnoses just like the regular ones.

I love it and it has helped me SO much.

I need a good care plan with interventions and goals for a trach patient who is being weaned from the vent. I have chosen to use the Dx Dysfunctional ventilatory weaning response. I can't seem to find it anywhere in my care plan book and it was new this year. I know it is a NANDA approved Dx, but I am having trouble finding interventions and goals. Thanks.

[Daytonite]

Dysfunctional Ventilatory Weaning Response is listed in Nursing Diagnosis Handbook: A Guide to Planning Care, 7th Edition, by Betty J. Ackley and Gail B. Ladwig, pages 1283 – 1289 complete with definition, defining characteristics, related factors, NOC outcomes, and NIC interventions and rationales. Maybe you know someone who has a copy of this book that you could look at it. I've checked both the Gulanick and Ackley/Ladwig careplan constructor sites and neither has this nursing diagnosis on their website.

TO CHEEKYBUTTS

dysfunctional ventilatory weaning responses r/t knowledge deficit of the weaning process (clients role)

goal:
patient should be able to demonstrate increased tolerance for activity and participate in the weaning process

interventions:
-ascertain clients understanding of weaning process, expectations, and concerns.
-determine the psychologic readiness, presence/degree of anxiety.
-explain weaning techniques (t-piece, simv, cpap and pressure support). discuss individual plan and expectations (it will help the client reduce anxiety and enhances sense of trust)
-time medications during weaning efforts to minimize sedative effects.
-involve so, family as appropriate at bedside (moral suport)
-provide diversional activity (watching tv) to focus attention away from breathing
-note response to activity/client care during weaning and limit as indicated to prevent excessive o2 consumption/demand with increased possibility of failure
-acknowledge and provide ongoing encouragement for clients efforts.
-minimize setbacks, focus client attention on gains and progress to date to reduce frustration that may further impair progress
