1. Care Plan Question...Please Help!

   MomBak2Skool replied to MomBak2Skool's topic in Student Assist

   MomBak2Skool replied to MomBak2Skool's topic in Student Assist

   How about this for prioritizing?: 1. Ineffective breathing pattern... 2. Electrolyte imbalance... 3. Excess fluid volume... I really wanna put impaired skin integrity in there but I guess that would come in at a close #4? Please tell me if you think ...

   MomBak2Skool replied to MomBak2Skool's topic in Student Assist

   Thank you so much for your responses! Esme12...do you mean I should include risk for ineffective renal perfusion? What other NANDA diagnoses could be used for renal failure (besides the excess fluid volume that I already used)? Or should I just add r...

5. "Risk for" when it's already present?? Confused...Please HELP me with these NANDAS!!!

   MomBak2Skool replied to MomBak2Skool's topic in Student Assist

   Also, I have no diagnosis for my Genitourinary assessment. True, he is experiencing anuria as I saw him on Wednesday and he hadn't urinated since the Sunday before. But I looked at the impaired urinary elimination diagnosis and he didn't seem to quit...

   MomBak2Skool replied to MomBak2Skool's topic in Student Assist

   I'm still not happy with that diagnosis. I have others that I need to prioritize. Here are the ones I feel are most important, but I don't know which would be my #1, #2, and #3. Decreased cardiac output r/t altered stroke volume aeb dyspnea, anuria, ...

9. You're asking me what??

   MomBak2Skool replied to yooper13's topic in General Students

   I'm also in an ADN program, finishing up my first semester. We are expected to educate our client within the scope of our knowledge. Basically, anything we've learned so far in lectures and on-campus labs, we should be able to explain to a client. Of...

10. Work as a CNA while in Nursing School?

    MomBak2Skool replied to MomBak2Skool's topic in General Students

    Thanks brillohead! That makes a lot of sense. Do you know anything about any differences in responsibilities between CNAs in an LTC facility vs in the hospital setting? Or are the responsibilities pretty much the same in both environments?
