Care plan question

Risk for falls related to decreased mobility AEB pain when moving knee, surgical procedure, etc. Depends on which your instructor will accept. The pain would of course be related to the surgery. FYI, risk for diagnoses should always be secondary to actual current problems. This pt does have limited mobility and pain. Risk for infection at surgical site would be more important IMO than tissue perfusion unless your pt has signs of perfusion changes. Anybody else got any ideas?

the pt profile listed several things r/t perfusion issues, so that is why I chose it.

I hope this helps. Usually, Risk for does not require a manifested by, otherwise, it would be a Actual dx. (Some instructors may require M/b, I never did.) Also, when prioritizing, remember you ABC's (airway, breathing, circulation). Safety/Falls is also high on the priority list, especially for a head injuries, seizures, etc. It sounds like the profile supports a perfusion issue (remember ABC). I would develop this , if the profile gives actual data to support it. Pain is also an actual issue, and these are actually easy, basic plans to develop. Your train of thought is going the right way. Try not to make this first care plan to complex, these take practice, but it will click.

thanks so much!!

In that case, it would be perfect as blondeez said.
