I am a second year nursing student doing a care plan for a patient that has had an amputation and is on bed rest. He has pitting edema and does not exercise enough so this is what I have come up with as my diagnostic would love to know if it makes sense or how it should be reformulated. Risk of electrolyte imbalance related to immobility and medication; manifested by the presence of peripheral edema, tachycardia and inability to reposition independently ( or I could put phantom pain). Also I don't know how to formulate a short term goal that says something along the lines of Pt will perfom ROM exercises by here the end of my shift. or something along those lines. He also takes water pills so that's a big reason why he has edema.
