Need help with care plan - new nursing student

[~Tinkerbell~]

I am a new nursing student and am having difficulty constructing a care plan for my patient. I need one long term goal and two short term goals w/ interventions. I am at a loss as to were to begin. My patient was admitted for kidney stones, UTI, and flank plain. I am having difficulty formulating and prioritizing nursing diagnosis due to his medical history which includes:

1. CKD stage II with baseline creatine of 1.2

2. Diabetes

3. Hypertension

4. Kappa restricted multiple myeloma associated with HIV

5. HIV on HAART therapy

6. History of kidney stones

I cant seem to get past this point to even start my care plan. He was scheduled to be discharged to a rehab facility the day after I saw him.

Any help and guidance you can give me would be appreciated. :yeah:THANK YOU!!!

I'll move this the nursing student assistance forum.

What do you have so far? Always think ABCs.

I believe you're thinking too hard on this one.

Three ADM D(x)'s were UTI, Flank Pain and Renal Calculi. So work with those if they're still present.

Infection, Pain and Ineffective Health Maintenance respectively.

Two short term goals will deal with the pain and UTI. The long term goal will include dietary teaching to prevent stones.
