any ideas on my patient?

Published

A 54 Year old client had an uneventful total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpino-oophorectomy earlier this morning. The pathology report confirms stage 2 endometrial cancer with minimal lymph node involvement. She was widowed 6 months ago, has no children, works as a 1st grade teacher and has a close relationship with her sister, neice and two nephews who live nearby. Postoperatively, she has a Hemovac attched to an abdominal drain and is receiving an Iv of D5LR at 125ml/hr and has morphine available per PCA pump. You are assigned as her nurse on a general surgical floor?

What are 6 priority assessments?

Name 8 ways you wouldbest evaluate this clients pain?

What are the goals for this client in the 1st 24 hours?

Describe 8 interventions to prevent complications for this client.

What are 4 likely psychosocial nursing diagnoses?

Describe the discharge teaching needs for this client (10 things)

Can anyone help me with this.........I cant seem to think of more than 3 things for each of these categories......this is due tomorrow, i have been struggling all weekend along with my other 2 tons of hw, please share some thoughts!

That way, we won't duplicate effort, nor feel like we are doing your homework for you.

I agree with Nurse First, people on this website tend to be skeptical of posters asking us to complete their assignments (or so it seems) - and rightly so. A little help is one thing, but a whole assignment usually raises a few eyebrows.

Good luck! :)
