Care Plan help- abdominal distention

Published

Hey! I am trying to do a care plan on nursing dx: Acute pain R/T abdominal distention. I am stuck as to what to put for my client goals and nursing implementation. I know one client goal obviously would be pain less than two on 0-10 scale. Other than that, I have nothing!! :confused: HELP!!! Thanks so much in advance... 'cause you guys are always so fabulous!!! :heartbeat

What are possible causes of distention?

Are there any actual diagnoses ?

Do you have the last BM?

What sort of diet is the patient on?

Is the patient ambulatory?

:) Need a bit more info :up:
