yeah! thankz

thankz everyone for the input! i deceided to go with ineffective airway clearance r/t truamatic brain injury. my goals are: pt will maintain a patant airway as evidenced by clear lung sounds, normal skin color and eupnea by the end of shift. pt will maintain optimal gas exchange as evidenced by arterial blood gasses (ABGs) within the patient's usual range, alert responsive mental status or no further reduction in mental status, and no signs of respiratory distress by end of shift

pls i need help with picking an appropraite nursing diagnosis for a 6 year old pt involved in an accident, that left him with a traumatic brain injury. pt is on trach, vent and G tube . i came up with risk for ineffective breathing pattern, and risk for apiration. pls i need some inputs. thanks

thanks for the response! it helped a great deal, and gave me a sense of where to direct the pt's questions to.

a pt has been diagnosed with acute renal failure, and during the course of my shift, he voices many questions and concerns, and he asked why this has happened to him? pls how do i respond as his nurse (i am an lpn). do i explain what the disease is all about or what should i tell him

so what other goal would be appropriate for me to use for impaired airway clearance r/t anaphylaxis?

the impaired airway clearance is related to anaphylaxis, so i figured that maitaining an 02 sat would be an appropriate goal. is this an appropriate goal for me to set? my other goal is : pt will maintain a patent airway clearance. im just having a hard time with the first goal

my nursing care plan diagnosis is impaired airway clearance, and one of my goal is: pt will maintain 02 sat at or above 90% on room air at the time of discharge. is this goal ok for my diagnosis? and what is the normal % for O2 sat on room air? :)
