NURSING CARE PLAN
Assessment Subjective: sumasakit yung paa ko pagnaglalakad as verbalized by the client. Objective: Patient has altered skin characteristics (pale, dry) Patient appears to be weak The patient has difficulty of walking (claudication) Patient is lethargic
Diagnosis Ineffective tissue perfusion related to decrease hemoglobin concentration in the blood as manifested by claudicating
Inference Transfer of Plasmodium vivax from aedeas egypti Cell lysis of chenes in the liver Decrease clotting factors 1,2,3,5,6,7 Decrease in platelet formation Bleeding Decrease blood flow
Planning Short term goal: After 2-3 hours of nursing intervention patient will demonstrate an increase in perfusion. Long term goal: After 8 hours of nursing intervention patient will be able to verbalize understanding of therapy regimen and how help increase tissue perfusion
Intervention Independent: Monitor Vital signs Determine duration of problem/ frequency of occurrence Measure circumference of extremities, as indicated
Rationale
Evaluation After 3 hours of nursing intervention client has demonstrated increase in perfusion as manifested by skin returning to normal color After 8 hours of nursing intervention patient was able to verbalize understanding of therapy regimen and ways how to help increase in perfusion goals met
To have a baseline data To note degree of impairment/ organ involvement Useful in identifying edema in involved extremity Which may indicate thrombus formation To maximize tissue perfusion
Check for calf tenderness, swelling, and redness Perform assistive ROM exercise
Labs: Hemoglobin @ 130g/L
Decrease hemoglobin levels Decrease tissue perfusion
Elevate Head of the bed at night
To increase gravitational blood flow
Dependent: Apply antithromboemb olic hose badages to lower extremities before arising from bed Administer medications as per doctors order with caution (e.g., vasodilators, anticoagulants) To help prevent venous stasis
Drugs used to improve tissue perfusion also carry a risk of adverse responses
