Need help w/ 3 nursing dx

Published

Okay I am working on a case study for my new mom and baby. My instructor was helping me mind map it but I had to go and do something so she never got back with me. I am stuck right now. I have 2 dx I am stuck on the goals and interventions.

1. At risk for hemorrhage r/t full bladder

2. At risk for infection r/t incomplete emptying of bladder

- The intervention I have would be to urinate through encouraging fluids, running water ECT. But wouldn't I have the same interventions for both? Wouldn't my goal for both be to get my pt to urinate at least 200 cc? So wouldn't these diagnoses be too similar?

Also I am stuck on coming up with a Dx for her regarding baby having and extra thumb! Would it be something like ineffective coping?

Any help would greatly appreciate!

Do you guys use the NIC and NOC books. NIC is interventions and NOC is outcomes. They are really good resources; we just happen to be required to use them. Its not a bad investment though. I'd consider it.

You can go to the websites and check out the pdf files for "labels and definitions" of the nursing outcomes and nursing interventions lists from Univeristy of Iowa website. These are barebones lists though, no Likert scales attached.

Another trick to get a patient to void: try a few drops of peppermint spirits in the bedpan/hat. The vapors relax the smooth muscle sphincter at the base of the bladder.

As for the extra digit - does it appear to have appropriate function, vascularization, sensation? Are there any other S/Sx of congenital anomalies?
