High creatinine level: nursing diagnosis

Published

Hi there ;-) Im working on an assignment and wondering what I can use as a nursing diagnosis, the pt has a high creatinine level, is not drinking fluids currently as they feel nauseas, and the pt also has a high urea level.

Thanks Lizziebee ;-)

Hi! Welcome to AN!

We are happy to help with care plans but need you to tell us what you think!

What semester are you? What care plan resource are you using? Care plans are all about the patient assesment. There is not enough information here to help you.

Tell me abut your patient....

What are the lab values; you cant just say they are high. You have to be specific

I bet you if you answer the question "what does high creatinine/high urea level mean?", you will come up with nursing diagnoses a lot quicker than you think.
