So, i'm at the end of my second semester of nursing school. We have a multiple problem plan of care due soon. We have to work 3 different nursing diagnoses out completely.
I have my first one done. I made this one : Impaired mobility r/t pain from surgery and old age AEB: facial grimacing when moving(o), pt says, "I'm really sore" (s), Pt is 82 (o), difficulty moving (o), shaky gait (o)
My outcomes/goals for this are:
Have pt walk around nurses station 3x a day by discharge
verbalize feelings of increased strength and ability to move when felt by 24 hours
demonstrate use of walker by discharge
My second diagnosis is the one i'm having trouble with
self care deficit r/t pain from surgery AEB inability to put clothing on lower extremeties (o), inability to put on shoes (o), inability to access bathroom (o)
Really what i'm asking is..
Am I going in the right direction?
