my patient is an elderly female,77 y.o, dx with dm2. she was admitted due to unresponsiveness but has a rls/gcs ratio of 1/15
on my duty. she has minimal activity because she needs assistance to do her ADL even when getting up on the bed. she has high HGT result of 183 mg/dl.she has PR of 60 and a CR of 62. what nsg dx could i make from this?
Specializes in med/surg, telemetry, IV therapy, mgmt.
there's some information that you posted that i cannot understand. it is because you used abbreviations i do not recognize.
what is a "rls/gcs ratio"?
what is a "hgt"?
what is a "cr" ?
also,
you need to be more specific than just saying minimal activity or needs assistance to do her adls. getting up on the bed is mobility. describe what assistance is needed. a nursing problem (nursing diagnosis) is about what the patient cannot do and it must be described because goals are written to describe the opposite (the improvement you will observe).
you have provided no physical assessment data. was a head-to-toe physical assessment done? lung sounds? abdominal sounds? any edema? if gcs is a glasgow coma scale what are the specific results (not the number)? orientation, hand grips, push pulls?
