Tampagirl, I did not have any labs because I was with her for such a short period of time, but I am sure her H&H were going to be drawn some time that day, just not while I was there. Celcit, it was not one time, it was ongoing. The bleeding was heavy most of the time I was with her and that was the focus of the treatment (new IV med, doc came in to expell clots, message fundus, pad count, etc.) and that is why I believe it was a priority. Daytonite, I did the whole nursing process (29 pages!), I am not grasping at straws. :icon_roll She was at risk of hemorrhage, that was a priority. I was just not sure if I was missing another ND that fit that better. Thanks for the help everyone!! Erin

That is one of the 4 that I chose. We spent alot of time with the bleeding though. That is why I am making it the priority.

My care plan is due tomorrow and I am really hung up on her ND. She was a postpartum patient that had some excessive bleeding (blood clots expelled by the doc the next morning after C-section.) So, my primary diagnosis would be that. But I am not sure what to choose for a ND? I have chosen right now "Risk for Deficient Fluid Volume" because I could not say for sure that she had Deficient Fluid volume. There were no signs and symptoms (labs to indicate, hypotension, etc.). I know that actual diagnosis should come before risk for, but in this case, should I make a risk for #1? Risk for Infection is another I thought of. Am I missing an actual diagnosis?? Do you think it is acceptable to put a "risk for" before 3 other actual diagnosis'? Thanks for any input! Erin

Hello all. Congrats to all who have graduated. I would like to ask what recent graduates recommend for NCLEX study material. There are so many and I want some opinions before I purchase them. I have been looking at NCLEX Q&A made incredibly easy, Kaplan Review, Saunders, etc...Any advice? How far ahead of the test did you start the NCLEX review books? I am in 3rd semester with two to go. I don't want to wait until the last moment, but maybe I should cover Adult Health 2 first? I am thinking that the mental health and parent child questions in these books could help me with my tests this semester? Is it too soon? Thanks in advance.
