Hi, I'm trying to work on my concept map & I'm just not sure if I'm doing it correctly or not...Our program gave us like a 5 minute lecture on these maps & everyone seems to be lost on it....Anyways here goes....
My diagnosis was: Hyponatremia
Reason for needing healthcare: Falls
Here's some key problems NANDA Diagnoses & supporting data I have so far:
- Altered thought processes r/t neurological dysfunction
1.) Progressive dementia
2.) 65+
3.) Progressive dementia
4.) Reminding patient to watch fluid intake
5.) CT Head results
- Risk for falls r/t diminished mental status
1.) 65+
2.) Patient requires use of assistive devices
3.) History of falls
4.) CT head results
5.) PT results; staggering right leg possibly r/t CT results.
- Fluid volume excess r/t increase in ADH & H2O retention
1.) Low serum Na
2.) SIADH
3.) Water intoxication, no signs of edema, pt on
4.) Patient complaining of headache & nausea.
- Excess fluid volume r/t excessive intake of hypotonic fluids
1.) Patients poor appetite but drinks a lot of fluids.
2.) I wanna say intake > output; however, my patient's output was higher than their intake but they did have a high PVR earlier in the day like of 300 mL.
I'm connecting a lot of these boxes together with one another & just see 3 more key problems. But just curious, does that look like I'm doing this right?
