She is able to get up and brush her teeth, take a shower, eat by herself. She was actually going home that day that I had her. I have the reasons as to why she would be receiving those medication. In her chart I did not have her cholestrol levels, but I did have platelets, WBC, glucose, and some other ones. The patient has numbness and pain on her left side mostly her face and her arm. I will look over her assessment tool as soon I get it back, so I'm trying to remember as much as possible. And I will look at NANDA or something to follow with the diagnosis. We were not require to buy a care plan book, and I do not have the 40 dollars for a book to spare. I'm on a very tight budget so I'm very limited. As for getting them at the library other nursing students have checked the few that we have out. Thanks so much for your help. You have taught me a lot more then my teachers explained in an hour. My whole nursing class is very confused on care plans due to the instructor just saying here is one and this what it is, and that was all.

I apologize, here are my pt. signs/symptoms and medical history. Non-smoker/drinker History of: *TIA *Bell's Palsy *Hyperlipidemia *Hypertension Surgical Procedures: Cesarean Section March 2007 *MRI *Carotid Duplex October 2007 ECHO: -Indicated a stroke Pt. is receiving Tylenol 650g (antipyretics) Pt. is receiving ASA 325 mg (antipyretics) Pt. is receiving Heparin 5000 units (anticoagulant) Saline Lock 1st diagnosis is pain & numbness r/t altered tissue perfusion 2nd diagnosis was Altered Tissue Perfusion r/t cardiac (which is incorrect, now that you point it out to me. :-) ) 3rd diagnosis was Risk for injury r/t numbness 4th diagnosis was knowledge deficit r/t hospitalization

i'm doing my first care plan for my nursing program. i'm stuck on the last two diagnosis, if anyone can help. i have altered tissue perfusion r/t cardiopulmonary and knowledge deficit r/t hospitalization. i'm having problems coming up with more goals, outcomes, and nursing interventions. if you could help me that would be great. i know these may be simple, but my mind is worn out because of the other 3 diagnosis i had to do. thanks for helping if you can!
