History:
Pt. suffered a left Thalamic Hemorrhage last year and has had language difficulty since then. She has a CT (computed tomography) which showed an old hypodensity in the left thalamus as well as white matter chronic changes, she has normal site and hearing and is occasionally confused. She incontinent for bowel & bladder
She also has diabetes, acute renal failure, Parkinson's disease, hypertension, dementia w/ depression, unstable angina, breast cancer w/ a left mastectomy, osteoporosis, history of pancreatitis, CVA,(cerebral vascular accident) arthritis, tonsillectomy
Nursing measures:
Monitoring the tolerance of the feeding tube,
Documenting I&O q shift, Using Incontinence care & also making sure that Rt breast fold is cleaned with plain water & dried thoroughly & applying Nystatin Powder q 8 hr's
Bed is in pressure relief mode, limiting positioning on the affected area of pressure ulcer
I have come up with a nursing diagnosis for each system, but I am having trouble prioritizing them here they are:
1 Aspriation, risk for
2 Cardiac Output, decreased
3 Nutrition: less than body requirements
4 mobility, impared bed
5 falls, ast risk for
6 Thought process, disturbed
7 Incontinet for bowel
8 pain, chronic
