I am starting in fall at university of wyoming. Do you have a book list or any books you would like to sell? I love your line about "good time management" that is so true.

Thanks Daytonite, I really appreciate your help. I am still confused (remember I am new at this) I thought that hypertension and and a bp of 149/88 would increase cardiac output. What am I missing here?

Thanks so much for your responses. They are very helpful. The cap refills were taken on R fingers and toes. I am still working on assessments that must be related to cardiovascular & respiratory and this guys issues don't really have a nursing diagnosis for those unless I use a wellness diagnosis. How about if I change the scenerio. What if he smoked 1 pack cigarettes a day for the last 30 years, works on a road crew and breaths in car fumes often and his BP is 149/88. What nursing diagnosis would you use on this man that relate to cardio/resp. systems? Thanks again

Wow!! Good job. You were persistant and it paid off. Sorry to hear it took so many applications.

Thanks for your help. I am trying to relate the diagnosis to cardio and I think hypertension would decrease cardiac output so that is why I chose that one. I am just stumped as how to relate to cardio. I thought about using the imbalanced Nutrition more than body requirements, but I don't know if that could be used as a cardio diagnosis. My interventions are weight related, sodium related, and monitor bp.

This is very interesting information. It is important to accomodate peoples beliefs and this made me think it might be good to have a section on different religious practices and beliefs on allnurse so we can have some knowledge & understanding on certain practices all gathered in one place.

I am a new nursing student and have been struggling to come up with a nursing diagnosis related to respiratory & cardio on this scenario. Man with diabetes 1, bs high (255), HTN, overweight, vitals normal, recent surgery on hand 1" incision with some redness & mild swelling. Nocturia 1 X nightly, 3-4 X week. Lungs CTA, cap refill I am thinking he is at risk for a pulmonary embolism, but I don't think I can use that as a risk for diagnosis because it is a medical condition. I also wanted to use risk for complication of decreased cardiac output r/t hypertension, but also a medical diagnosis. The bp was 120/69 probably under control due to meds. Once I figure out what I can use I still need my goal and interventions. Appreciate any thoughts. We use a Carpenito book for diagnosis, but are allowed to use others. I don't know if my book is any good, but would like to get another one. Any suggestions on the most helpful to new students?

Love having the guys in our class. Wish there were more. Most are very caring and fun to be around.

Good luck to all of you trying to get into the program. I recently started and although its really tough I love it.

I recently went to a seminar on lateral violence and it seems a big % is directed toward the newest hires. It is really sad that happens, but at least there is awareness of the problem and a movement towards changing it.

Hope they still let you try out for the program.

Hi from Michigan, Things here are also slow. People are still getting jobs, just nothing like it was in years past.
