Functional Problems

Second Priority Problem - At risk for further complications hypokalemia & AKI
SMART goal - bring potassium level to normal limits (3.5-5) before discharge.

Goal continued, medicated during my shift with 40meq potassium po and 10meq IV. Brought level up to 3.2.

Nursing Intervention#2 - Regulate Patient Nutrition

Teaching #2 - Teach patient to read nutrition labes

rationale - teach the patient to take charge of their nutrion

Teaching #1 - teach patient which foods are high in potassium leafy greens, nuts, etc. - teach patient about low sodium - salt substitutes

rationale - regulate labs, prevent dysrhythmias, lead a healthy life

Collaborative Intervention #2 - work with patient and family to implement a heart healthy, kidney healthy diet.

Collaborative Intervention #1 - work with dietary to provide a low sodium, high potassium, cardiac diet

Rationale - keep potassium and sodium levels under control

Nursing Intervention#1 - Monitor Lab Work

Teaching #2 - Teach patient about medication resources

Teaching #1 - teach patient organization for medication times, make a calendar/schedule

rationale - medication adherence

Collaborative Intervention #2 - work with patient and family for at home medication adherence

Collaborative Intervention #1 - work with doctor and pharmacy to provide potassium supplementation.

Rationale - monitoring lab work will tell the nurse what interventions need to be done to fix the specific lab levels

First Priority Problem - Heart Failure
SMART goal - keep systolic blood pressure over 100 for entirety of hospital stay and once at home.

systolic blood pressure over 100 the entirety of my shift, this is a continued goal.

Nursing Intervention #2 - Prevent atelectasis

Teaching #2 - safety when ambulating - non slip socks, utilize any assistive devices, walk with someone not alone

Rationale - to prevent falls

Teaching #1 - benefits of movement

rationale - to prevent atelectasis and work the edema out of the interstitial spaces.

Collaborative Intervention #2 - encourage patient to utilize deep breathing / incentive spirometer alone, with family or staff help

Collaborative Intervention #1 - encourage the patient to work with PT/OT, techs, students, or other nurses to ambulate as much as possible

Rationale - CHF patients are at risk for atelectasis when they are in the hospital due to being sedentary

Nursing Intervention #1 - Monitor I & O

Teaching #2 - Do not dump urine with out measuring

Rationale - We need to measure all urine to be able to identify and prevent fluid volume overload

Teaching #1 - How to urinate in the hat

Rationale - We need to collect the urine in a hat for measurement

Collaborative Intervention #2 - work with other nurses, techs, students, family to measure all oral intake for the patient - report all oral intake to the nurse for charting

Collaborative Intervention #1 - work with other nurses, techs, students, family to measure urine output for the patient - report all output to the nurse for charting

Rationale - avoid fluid volume overload - do not make a sick heart work harder

Admitting Diagnosis

Priority Diagnosis - Acute Exacerbation of Systolic & Diastolic Congestive Heart Failure EF 20 %
Presented to hospital - SOB, sleeping in recliner, bilateral extreme edema,
Patho - Systolic heart failure - the left side of the heart's contractility is decreased resulting in decreased EF. Diastolic heart failure - left side of the heart muscles are too stiff to relax which impedes the filling of the atria & ventricle.
