THANK YOU SO MUCH ESME12!!! Definitely will implement these, I am trying to fit him into a Dx instead of letting his symptoms formulate my plan.

Lol ! PES is the problem , etiology and signs and symptoms . That's how their teaching up to formulate our Dx. I'm a first semester student. I'm doing a care plan and that's the information I have for those sections . Now I feel totally lost

That's why I'm lost because that's all the information I've been given for those two systems. Nothing really for me to build on. But I must have a Dx for each section. Patient has hypertension, wheelchair ambulated, overweight, aka and had a cva. Not sure if that helps.

Integumentary : skin tone brown, warm & dry. Turgor is poor, mucous membrane pink, moist & in tact. Lt. Lower leg mottled. I'm thinking hypertension for Cardio but its under clustering medical dx in my diagnosis book so I'm not sure how to incorporate it. Please any advice would be appreciate, I'm so overwhelm with these care plans!

Hello everyone ? I am finishing up my care plan but I'm stuck on the PES/PE for my cardiovascular and integumentary section. Here's the data: Cardio: BP 150/59mmHg, temp 97.6, pulse 62bpm, irregular and swallow. No pain, dizziness or fatigue .capilliary refill normal and skin is warm to touch. Edema on left left, calf area

Thanks you guys for all the great suggestions! Nursing diagnosis handbook is a required book for my program but I'm not really digging it. Going to order the other one you suggested by Myers! Congrats on finishing nursing school! :) I can't wait till I get there, I feel crazy overwhelmed already lol. Angle of Louis .. I think this might save me, I'm practing on myself right now. I live alone so theirs no unwilling suspects to practice my clinical skills on.

Lol it's cool! Thanks! I will go to practice the pulses in lab because I just can't get it! I appreciate the tips, definitely will try to implement them. Good luck to you as well :)

Oh and what's ADPIE? This was only my first week of classes. Thank you :)

Thanks for responding! Did u mean from the top of sternum go to the left?

Hi! I'm in my first semester of a nursing problem. So far I'm just two slight issues... Care plan. What is a really good care plan book to buy? We are still focusing on the nursing assessments but my clinical teacher is a real hard ass and she's stressing how important the care plans will be. Secondly, when taking pulses in having a difficult time counting the ribs. I know the aprial pulse in the 5 intercoastal space midclavial BUT I can't feel the ribs In the slim ppl in my class what will happen if I get a bigger person in clinical? My instructor wants us to go by the " landmarks" Thanks so much in advance ?. I just can't afford not to do well, this is my dream. I wouldn't be able to handle a setback.

Good Luck everyone!!!!' I don't take Micro until January and it will be an express course for 6 weeks, so ill definitely be following this thread, taking tips and cheering you guys on!

Growth and development Is pretty easy if you like psych. It's all about what happens at certain life stages.

Hello! I've been browsing this site for the last year of my preclinical life and I finally decided to make a profile :) I took the NLN in June and didn't receive my letter until July 27, needless to say the anxiety killed me!!!
