Outcomes for my careplan

Published

Specializes in ICU-Adult Medical.

I have had a patient 98 with CHF and she is extremly anxious with severe claustrophobia. She has PVD with 3+ pitting edema in all extremities...I have many NANDA diagnosis for her. However, I am at a loss for interventions and outcomes. She died on Saturday and my careplan did not get to be finished. My clinical instructor said she was going to grade me on my outcomes more then anything.

So, my question is what are some good outcomes for a pt that is deceased? I was thinking To provide company to client and provide a sitter so she will not die alone. (She voiced concern of dying alone many times) I am at a loss can anyone give me some direction?

Thank you :specs:

Would proper pain management be a good one? Discuss Spirituality and find out where she is on Maslow's hierarchy be a good one?

Any help would be great.

So you're looking at an end of life type of care plan.

I'd address her anxiety and claustrophobia, any pain, and spirituality.

Do you have a care plan book? Is there an end of life section in it?
