desperately need for help with care plan

Published

Please help somebody:crying2:

I have to make a care plan for pt with acute renal failure and don't have much in hand as S/s except anorexia, fatigue and drowsiness and elevated BUN and Creatinine. Can't make 'Risk for' diagnosis.For each diagnosis I have to have 3 goals and 3 intervention for each of the goals.

I made following diagnosis:

1) imbalanced nutrition r/t anorexia (here iam having problem as to how to relate anorexia to ARF) aeb denial of hunger and observed poor intake(10%)

2) self-care deficit bathing/hygiene r/t muscle weakness aeb reported inability to carry out adl's

3)Impaired transfer mobility r/t decreased strength caused by elevated cretinine and bun levels AEB inability to move from bed to chair and on/off toilet without assistance

4)powerlessness R/t loss of independent functioning AEb statement "I helped my wife....now need help for myself"

5) moderate anxiety R/t change in health status Aeb pt's statement " won't be better but worse for sure".

Are these okay? please do reply somebody. I really miss Daytonite.

Have you look up the medical diagnosis of Acute Renal Failure. You can read what it is and find more diagnoses. You need to think ABC..air, breathing, circulation.

This thread makes me miss Day2nite :(
