This is a discussion on Care Plan Help!! in Nursing Student Assistance, part of Nursing Student ... My nursing diagnosis is risk for bleeding r/t anticoagulant therapy induced thrombocytopenia. ...
by nursem007 Feb 9, '09My nursing diagnosis is risk for bleeding r/t anticoagulant therapy induced thrombocytopenia. Goal- Patient will remain free from bleeding.
I had 2 outcomes that i thought were good, but my instructor says they are the same thing.
1. Patient will remain free from bleeding injuries
2. Pt. will explain methods to prevent bleeding injuries.
I can only use one of these. I am stuck and can't think of any other outcomes. I have to submit this tonight. Any input from all of you smart people would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks Much!!

- Feb 9, '09 by GaNurse1969How about something measureble, but realistic for your goal?
Like: Pt's platelet count will be between xxx and xxx within 48 hours (or what ever time frame seems reasonable. Also, keep your count reasonable--if he was very low, he is not going to bring it back to WLN in 48 hrs.)
My instructor is big on measurable goals, then one of your outcomes can be whether it was met or not.
Hope this helps! Good luck! - Feb 9, '09 by nursem007Thanks, my instructors are also huge on measurable outcomes. Only problem is, I do not have access to the chart anymore and I did not record the PLT count for this patient.
- Feb 9, '09 by GaNurse1969Hummm...do you have a PT/INR? if you don't you should still be able to use it since it goes along with his risk for bleeding and anticoags. Goal would be maintain PT/INR within xxx and xxx, (or whatever changes are need) For outcome, you could put no s/s of bleeding and list any additional PT/INR results done. If he didn't have another one done by your last clinical day, I would list that in so your instructor knew you were looking for it....Just a thought

I understand, however, that some nursing programs want students to formulate diagnoses in their own words. The NANDA diagnosis for this would be: Risk for Injury R/T abnormal clotting factors. The outcome of an anticipated problem is always that the risk (in your patient's case, bleeding) doesn't manifest. So, what specific bleeding problem are you trying to prevent from happening? Can you put a name to it? (frank hemorrhage from a wound or incision, hematoma, ecchymosis, petechiae, hemoptysis, hematuria, etc.) That is your final outcome. The nursing interventions must be:
- strategies to prevent the problem from happening in the first place
- monitoring for the specific signs and symptoms of this problem
- reporting any symptoms that do occur to the doctor or other concerned professional

Feb 9, '09 by CT PixieQuote from DaytoniteI thought the same thing Daytonite, but after checking the NANDA website, I found that I was mistaken and it is a new NANDX dx. I also noticed some "retired" dx's and some "revised" dx's. They can be viewed with the link belowThe diagnosis of Risk for Bleeding R/T anticoagulant therapy induced thrombocytopenia isn't an official NANDA diagnosis.

I hate the new copy of Nursing Diagnoses Definitions and Classificstion 2009-2011. It's organized differently and I can't find anything in it as efficiently. You're right, it's there. I don't have any specific information on its use. I understand that students need to do what they need to do for a grade.I thought the same thing Daytonite, but after checking the NANDA website, I found that I was mistaken and it is a new NANDX dx. I also noticed some "retired" dx's and some "revised" dx's. They can be viewed with the link below
