Nursing Care Plan for Covid Patients

Nurses COVID

Published

What are the recommended nursing care plan for covid clients experiencing mild signs and symptoms?

Specializes in Vents, Telemetry, Home Care, Home infusion.

NANDA started in my last year of Nursing program -40years ago....so found this current list of NANDA Nursing Diagnosis for Respiratory Disorders that may help you to choose a more appropriate second diagnosis.   COVID affects lungs like COPD  + Pneumonia  so those nursing diagnosis sections should be viewed to consider best second diagnosis.

Respiratory nursing my forte --- not birthin babies.

Well, I will give you some commentary about the nutrition-related dx you chose. In my opinion it is more appropriate for someone for whom emotional/mental readiness/receptiveness has been the main issue. When they indicate that they are ready to work on nutritional health, the dx could be used.

For a patient who has a physiologic nutritional problem (aka imbalance) and has lost weight and is underweight secondary to an ongoing physiologic process there is another better diagnosis. If you're "into" nursing care plans, this is important because it drives you in the direction of understanding what interventions are appropriate. Going back to the diagnosis you chose, is a personal feeling of readiness the main thing that is going to get this patient's nutrition back on track? No.

How many dx do you have to choose?

Thank you so much for your perspective, highly appreciate it. 

My client was into weightlifting, and since she can't do any intense workout, she's putting more focus on eating healthy.  I think that's why I chose my diagnosis. But now, I can see how many flaws it has haha. it okay, ill keep learning.

Two, I am assigned to give one risk and one wellness. While my groupmate is for the actual problem. I had a hard time choosing a diagnosis because the client was only experiencing the mild symptoms.
