You need to cover diet, pain meds/management, effects of antibiotics.
He doesn't have an ostomy?

Figure out what problems he has related to his diagnosis, and match diagnoses and interventions to those problems!

I don't know where you initially posted this, but it is now in the Nursing Student Assistance Forum.
Discharge planning includes addressing the following subjects:
Discharge planning is primarily management and teaching. Some of the items may fit in with other nursing problems that the patient will have related to the colitis and UTI. Possible diagnoses to use to discharge needs are Deficient Knowledge (specify) or Ineffective Health Maintenance.
For the care plan, start by looking up what colitis and UTI are, their pathophysiologies, how doctors diagnose and treat them, their signs and symptoms, and complications. The nursing problems (nursing diagnoses), goals and nursing interventions fall into place from that information. Once you get started you can always ask for help on this forum. If you post questions on any other forum of allnurses I am not likely to find your post.
