Care Plan for congestive heart failure

Published

i need desperate help!! i have to do a care plan for a pt with congestive heart failure!! any help with nursing diagnosis???:bluecry1:

Are you serious?????? Get a nursing care plan book....google NANDA approved nursing diagnosis. Is it that hard???? I am amazed by how many people come on here asking for someone to do their work for them. How are you going to learn if you have others do it for you????

BTW, it isn't congested heart failure. Maybe if you knew what the real diagnosis was, you would have an easier time figuring out some nursing diagnosis.

:angryfire WOW I am so shocked and angry right now! How dare you come on the general nursing STUDENT section and talk down to someone who is probably stressed to the max and working hard to become a Nurse! This is a site that is supposed to be for information and also comfort, go somewhere else if you are just going to be negative!!!!!

No wonder they call nursing the profession that "eats its young"

You should seriously be ashamed of yourself and come down off your high horse!

BTW in case you didn't know this IS a student section........

DLBM....I hope that you find all the info that you needed. That is exactly what I do NOT want to be like when I graduate. Don't let that discourage you from asking for more help here again! There's always a bad egg out there somewhere! :wink2:

Settle down, I think the mod has already addressed that issue.

It is a student forum, but it's not the place to get your work done for you. Things go much better when students give some info as to what they have already done and what sort of help they need. If they just say "oh help, i need a ----------- careplan", people get annoyed.

Yes, the mod already addressed the issue. When I responded, I did not realize it was under the student forum. I clicked on the subject from the home page. Also, I did not stereotype. It is congestive heart failure, no matter who you are or where you live...I don't think it is called congested heart failure anywhere. I guess I am just shocked, because when I was in nursing school, I worked on major care plans for HOURS. They are not easy at first, for a reason. They are given to students so they can look beyond the obvious and to start applying what they are learning in different classes. I never would have thought about coming to a public forum for someone to give me the answers to what it was I was trying to learn. Again, sorry for being rude on a student forum.

When you ask someone for answers to an assignment, it is called cheating. There is no excuse for cheating, no matter how "stressed to the max" you are. If a student doesn't understand, then they should state "I don't understand how to figure out nursing dx for this medical diagnosis. Can someone please help me figure it out". Flat out asking for the answers is not going to help the student learn.

i think that if you provide them with a few answers that it helps them learn. i think it really behooves them to see the complete picture first, and then break it a part and learn from it that way. This is how I learn/got through nursing school, maybe it's how others think, too? I'm not saying give them all of the answers, but just enough to get them started/thinking about what is going on. When I first started doing careplans and saw a nursing diagnoses... I had no idea what they were because I had never worked with something like that before. Trust me, original poster, you'll soon be able to regurgitate this stuff off the top of your head soon... and your careplan's won't be so time consuming. ;) And once you graduate from nursing school, you'll probably never see/do a careplan again. Fantastic stuff, right!?

Asking for the answers is no skin off anyone's back. Giving the answers is not always going to help the student learn. Showing them how to get to the answers helps them learn.

I have answered hundreds of care plan questions. You would be surprised at how many students have absolutely no clue about how nursing diagnoses are obtained. Care plan books are not the answer. When students get a patient with some medical disease that the care plan books don't address they run into a crisis. And, if their ability to think critically or use the nursing process isn't fully developed, they panic. I honestly think some believe that nursing diagnoses are going to just pop into their heads or they will just pick them out of the thin air. So sad. I tend to look at questions like "need a list of nursing diagnosis for congested heart failure done in laymens term please." as a call for help. Especially with a statement like "in laymen's terms". Have you ever heard anyone refer to a nursing diagnosis that way? That told me immediately that help was needed. The question was also posted into a thread that was 6 months old. Some people have their dignity and we can be respectful of that, you know, and they are not going to come out and say, "I don't understand how to figure out nursing dx for this medical diagnosis. Can someone please help me figure it out."

I didn't want anyone to do my work.I,I just wanted a little guidance thats all.For some its easy to get the right words out, but for me its not.The list would of given me choices and let me figure which ones best to use.I wanted to do that,I wanted to choose the right one for me to understand.To all that understands that THANKS, to you ones that dont I'm sorry and when the right time comes for me to help someone I will be there, without making that person feel so bad for asking for help in the only way she can understand it.There are at least 5 different ways to learn and miine happens to be seeing how things are done before i can understand how to do them .Im sorryyyy for all the inconvenience i may have caused for anyone.
