I know my diagnosis for my care plan is going to Impaired Gas Exchange. I am not sure what to relate it too. My patient's impaired gas exchange was because she was anemic. While taking care of her in clinicals she would not keep her oxygen on which was causing her O2 sats to decrease. Any suggestions on how to relate this?
Anemia > deficiency of iron
Deficiency of iron = decreased hemoglobin
Decreased hemoglobin = diminished oxygen saturation
Impaired Gas Exchange R/T iron deficiency AEB SOB, decreased O2 sats, Hgb reports, patients refusal to use supplemental oxygen...
Good enough for your program or not? I'd get a good score with that.
