Hello everyone I am a first year nursing student and I stalk this web page often to get ideas on how to do things since my instructor tells me to look it up in the book. I am having issues with my care plan. Here goes My patient is 32 presented in the ER with severe abdominal pain. Long story short. He was admitted and had small bowel obstruction. He has been NPO for three days NG tube in place, constipated and not passing gas at all. He has been ambulating 4x a day up and down the halls to get things moving along but nothing. Anyways I have to do 2 problems on him and I chose :Impaired skin integrity R/T interruption of skin and tissues, AEB vertical abdominal incision. I was trying to do Constipation R/T decreased motility AEB, abdominal distention and no bowel movement for 3 days. Most of the things to assess for are for patients that are not NPO like my patient. How can I assess things such as eating pattern, fluid intakes, elimination pattern etc.... please I need advise I have been thinking about this for too long and now it is due tomorrow 8 a.m. I did do my second problem on nutrition more than body requirements but I was told his obesity is not important. Thank you candace

Indeed, you have made my day. Thank you very much! Now you are on your way to being a great resource for your classmates. Share them c your faculty too-- believe it or not, sometimes they aren't as familiar as they could be. But you might want to wait until the end of the semester to let them know why you are so fabulous at planning nursing care :)

Now, as for the rest of the students reading here ... go thou and do likewise!

:thankya:
