i have a patient who is male,35 years old... slightly obese, has diabetes mellitus...
his CC is intolerable pain.. its due to a 2inches long and half inch deep wound... upon observation pus formation was noted...
he had and on and off fever for two days... vital signs are as follows T- 37.8 degrees celsius, PR-102 RR-26 BP-130/90 mmHg..
on his urinalysis, WBC-25/hpf, RBC-3/hpf, glucose-+++
on his CBC, RBC-3.4million/ul, HGB 10g/dl, HCT-46%,wbc-20,000mm3
my problem is i dont know what could be my nursing diagnostics... im thinking either injury,risk for or Infection,rick for?
any other options on diagnostics will be helpful and possible can i see a sample NCP?(maybe a link or so)
on laboratory..High WBC counts are signs of infection right? and positive glucose count is because of his diabetes...
what about the RBC on urinalysis(what does it imply)?
and howcome on his CBC, the RBC and HGB implies on anemia? hematocrit is normal right?
sorry fir lots of questions.... im new at this stuff...(student)
