i need to do a nursing problem list and rationalize it. i am confused on using the reference of the CAB protocol instead of the ABC prioritization. i know that the CAB is used for emergency situations, i'm not sure if i can use it also in prioritizing my nursing problem list. here are my list of problems: - DECREASED CARDIAC OUTPUT related to altered myocardial contractility secondary to valvular defects - IMPAIRED GAS EXCHANGE related to imbalanced ventilation perfusion secondary to altered blood flow - EXCESS FLUID VOLUME related to reduced glomerular filtration rate secondary to decreased tissue perfusion - ACUTE PAIN related to accumulation of urate acids in the joints - DIFFICULTY OF SWALLOWING related to upper respiratory tract infection - ACTIVITY INTOLERANCE related to insufficient oxygen supply secondary to imbalance distribution of blood into the systemic circulation - RISK FOR FALL related to deficient knowledge about side effects of medications - RISK FOR NON COMPLIANCE to therapeutic regimen related to deficient knowledge about its side effects - RISK FOR UNSTABLE BLOOD GLUCOSE related to non-adherence to preferred diet- - READINESS FOR ENHANCED THERAPEUTIC REGIMEN MANAGEMENT i also used maslows hierarchy of needs and NANDA in my reference. i need to sort my list from 1-10, 1 being the top priority and 10 being the least. then i have to rationalize why it's placed on that order. need help, thanks!
