very true! I think im trying to 'do too much'. in the midst of focusing on everything else-I over looked those very significant areas. and without management of those areas he wont get any better...
yeah, putting it into each d/x will be me another d/x to work with. instead of using one whole on to teaching-incorporate it in with each one. the one thing I do like about having one d/x for...
he has the impaired mobility and ineffective breathing pattern r/t the pain and gout. so by fixing the pain-I can help make his breathing and mobility better. which is priority. then my second d/x I...
when I asked him, he said he stopped taking them because he thought he "didn't need them anymore". since he hadn't had a gout attack in so long, I guess he assumed that he didn't have to take them...
You are 100% right! Im over here wanting to cure him and his conditions. But my role is to treat his s/s and whats happening as a result of those condtions. Nutrition is a big one for him, because of...
VERY good points. I cant fix his poor renal perfusion but I can help fix what is causing it though, right? I can treat his GOUT, treat his HTN- then the renal perfusion might be better? I definitlty...
What in his labs indicates poor nutrition? I have been sitting down trying to connect the dots between each of his conditions and why his labs are the way they are because of them; but I still feel...

Very true, so im going to keep my priority d/x as impaired breathing pattern. Is it impaired or ineffective breathing pattern? My reference book says ineffective. and then have my second one as...
Oh acute pain for a diagnosis!!? Would that be a better one than the impaired mobility? I feel like if her pain was managed then the mobility would be better right? and yes there was more assessment...
Yes! because she is in such pain-that would absolutely affect her breathing. The alveolar membrane part was still typed in from when I was working on the impaired gas exchange d/x. I have changed my...
I have the sparks and Tayler one, 9th edition. I had that part typed in from when I was going to do the gas exchange one, sorry =/ yes she does have SOB and yes she does complain of
