Gastroschisis pedi care plan help!!

Published

Hello everyone,

I need help formulating my top 3 priority nursing diagnoses for my pediatric care plan.

My patient was a 5 week old baby who was born with gastroschisis & perforated intestine. The patient had it repaired within the first week of life but is still in the NICU due to feeding intolernace, etc. Currently they had her on TPN and IL because she was vomiting the tube feedings. She has an OG tube for bowel decompression. She also only weighs 7lbs, 7 ounces and is in the 2nd percentile for weight. This is what I have so far:

(1) imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements related to....?

(2) Delayed growth and development related to congenital anomaly as evidenced by 2nd weight percentile

(3) Risk for infection related to perforated intestine and PICC line

Do these sound good?:uhoh3:

What else could I do? Impaired skin integrity? Please help!! My instructor is pretty strict and if I do a good job on my first care plan I don't have to do any more.

Thank you!!:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat
