What are some good nursing diagnosis for a CABG patient? His surgery went well. He was already up ambulating around the room. He was in and out of A-fib ever since surgery and was on a cardizem gtt. He also has a history of COPD. We have to do a big care plan with several diagnosis on one of our patients and this is the patient I chose. So the more diagnosis the merrier. :)
Thanks

Hi, SMcCain, and welcome to allnurses! :welcome:
This is how you choose nursing diagnoses. . .
What all this is saying is that you must follow the steps of the nursing process to determine your patient's nursing diagnoses. Those steps are:
with Assessment being the most important one. Finish your assessment of the patient and follow the advice and instructions of the authors above to find the nursing diagnoses for your patient. If you are still having difficulties, post a question along with your patient data. However, medical diagnoses tell us NOTHING about your patient's nursing problems.
