Help with identifying a specific NCP

[joytosew]

My client had a carotid endarectomy done. I have been looking through ackleys and a couple other books as I would like to merge two ncps to take care of both situations at once. Not only did the client i am working on have the carotid endarectomy, he is also aphasic (warnikees? spelling). It was difficult to get information out of him.

Here are my thoughts: I need something that identifies the fact that he has been having frequent TIAs at the same time it needs to have neurovascular checks. As I learned the greatest risk of caroitd endarectomy is having a clot. When i looked for information in my books it basis information on care giver strain, ambulation, self-care def. etc..

If anyone has any ideas, or some idea for me to look elsewhere other then in cardiac care plans please let me know.

Thank you in advance for any help

Fantastic!

I love the site. Worked out great. I am also going to use this site to write one of my mini papers on for test points.

Thank you so much
