- Pupillary reaction sluggish; pupil size 4 bilaterally.

- Atrial flutter noted on ECG.

    What interventions do you have planned? How would you measure the outcome of them? What is acheivable in your shift with this pt? What are you already measuring routinely on this pt?

    I would like to see this pt's SBP kept below 140. Does the pt have a line that measures ICP? What are good parameters for this?

    First of all when coming up with short range goals restate your nursing diagnosis in your goal

    Patient will have improved tissue perfusion (time frame... during my shift....during hospitalization ect.) AEB:

    (look at your information the abnormal values returned to normal values is your goal)

    Ex. capillary refill
