CARE PLAN

Client Initials: A.A. Student Name: Dave Jay S. Manriquez

Page 9: CPE4   week 4

Problem/Strength Goal Intervention Rationale EvaluationNursing Diagnosis Associated with Right and Left Nephrostomy insertion; and Renal Mass:1. Acute pain related to tissue injury secondary to surgical intervention (as evidenced by restlessness, anxiety, and report of pain at the surgical site rated 8/10)- Right and Left wound due to Nephrostomy insertion.- PRN Hydromorphone and Acetaminophen to control pain.

The overall goal for the patient:a. Understand the use of nonpharmacological treatments in addition to pain medication to keep pain in controlled level.b. Patient stated pain will be 0/10 after pain medication is given or use.c. Patient will have a controlled pain throughout the shift.

1. Perform a comprehensive assessment of pain to include location, characteristics, onset, duration, frequency, quality, intensity or severity, and precipitating factors of pain.

2. Consider cultural influence on pain response.

3. Reduce or eliminate factors that precipitate or increase pain experience.

4. Teach the use of nonpharmacological techniques such as relaxation and distraction.

5. Provide optimal pain relief with prescribed analgesics.Each client has a right to expect maximum pain relief.

1. Pain is a subjective experience and must be described by the client in order to plan effective treatment.

2. Each person experiences and expresses pain in an individual manner using a variety of sociocultural adaptation techniques.3. Factors that may be precipitating or augmenting pain should be reduced or eliminated to enhance the overall pain management program.4. The use of non-invasive pain relief measures can increase the release of endorphins and enhance the therapeutic effects of pain relief medications.5. Optimal pain relief using analgesics includes determining the preferred route, drug, dosage, and frequency for each individual.6. Ambulation activities

Expected outcome for the patient:a. After nursing intervention, the patient pain will be relieved and controlled.b. Patient verbalize no longer in pain and will be able to ambulate early and do daily activities.

Page 10: CPE4   week 4

Nursing Diagnosis Associated with Right and Left Nephrostomy insertion; and Renal Mass:1. Impaired urinary elimination related to acute renal failure due to a kidney mass causing bilateral hydronephrosis as evidenced by decrease in urinary output and pain in urination.- The need for nephrostomy insertion through surgery, to have a urinary diversion.

The overall goal for the patient:Short Term:After 2-3 hours of nursing interventions, the patient will verbalize understanding of condition.

Long Term:After 1-2 days of nursing interventions, the patient will participate in measures

6. Medicate before an activity to increase participation, but evaluate the hazard of sedation.

7. Evaluate the effectiveness of the pain control measures used through ongoing assessment.

1. Establish rapport.

2. Monitor and record vital signs.

3. Assess pt's general condition

4. Review for laboratory test for changes in renal function.

will be enhanced if pain is controlled or tolerable. Assessing level of sedation should precede the activity to ensure necessary safety precautions are put in place.7. Research shows that the most common reason for unrelieved pain is failure to routinely assess pain and pain relief. Many clients silently tolerate pain if not specifically asked about it.

1. To get the cooperation of the patient and significant others.

2. To obtain baseline data.

3. To know what problem and interventions should be prioritize.

4. To assess for contributing or causative factors.

5. Enhance commitments

Expected outcome for the patient:Short Term:The patient shall have demonstrated participation in his recommended treatment program.

Long Term:The patient shall have demonstrated behavior/lifestyle changes to prevent complications.

Page 11: CPE4   week 4

to correct/compensate for defects. 5. Establish realistic activity goal

with patient.

6. Determine patient pattern of elimination.

7. Investigate pain, noting location.

to promoting optimal outcomes.

6. To assess degree of interference.

7. To investigate extent of interference.

Acute renal failure – is the abrupt loss of kidney function, resulting in the retention of urea and other nitrogenous waste products and in the dysregulation of extracellular volume and electrolytes.

Page 16: CPE4   week 4

2. Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 – is a long term metabolic disorder that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin. Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, and unexplained weight loss.3. Cytotoxic Precaution – are the ways that your healthcare team protects themselves from cytotoxic medications or body wastes. Although the risk of harm may be very low, it is important to be careful.4. Nephrostomy – is an artificial opening created between the kidney and the skin which allows for the urinary diversion directly from the upper part of the urinary system (renal pelvis).5. Bicalutamide – is a synthetic non-steroidal antiandrogen (NSAA) that is used primarily in the treatment of prostate cancer. It is also used in the treatment of hirsutism and other androgen-dependent conditions and as a component of hormone replacement therapy for transgender women.

Admitting Diagnosis:August 19, 2016 – Acute renal failure (kidney mass)/ bilateral nephrostomyAugust 19, 2016 – Right and Left Nephrostomy Insertion

Medical History: Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, High Cholesterol, Mass in kidney causing hydronephrosis

Premix and Schedule Medications:1. Ampicillin (Anti-infectives) – To prevent infection. Patient has an open wound from the nephrostomy insertion.2. Bicalutamide (Antineoplastic) – To decrease the spread of prostate carcinoma.3. Heparin (Anticoagulants) – Prevention of thrombus formation. 4. Atorvastatin (Lipid lowering agent) –To slow progression of coronary atherosclerosis. Lowers total LDL and triglycerides; while increasing HDL.5. Insulin Reg (Humulin) () – To control hyperglycemia as he is diabetic.

PRN Medications:1. Acetaminophen (Non-opioid) – To be administer for breakthrough pain.2. Hydromorphone (Opioid) – Recently have a surgery for nephrostomy insertion, has an open wound.3. Dimenhydrinate (Antiemetic) – To prevent nausea and vomiting, when patient is taking an opioid.4. Ondansetron (Antiemetic) - To prevent nausea and vomiting, when patient is taking an opioid.5. Lactulose Syrup (Laxatives) – To prevent constipation esp. patient just have a recent surgery and often in bed.6.

Bisacodyl (Laxatives) – To prevent constipation esp. patient just have a recent surgery and often in bed.

Page 17: CPE4   week 4

Abnormal Labs:CBCD1. Low HGB, RBC, and HCT - Patient just undergo a recent major surgery to create a urinary diversion, an insertion of right and left nephrostomy, blood loss during the surgery. Left nephrostomy draining blood.2. High RDW – Due to advance age may have Vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency. May also cause from an internal bleeding.

LYTES, Urea and Crea1. High Urea, and Creatinine – Patient has renal mass on his kidney. Impaired kidney function. Elevated waste product.2. Low Est GFR and Bicarbonate – Patient has renal mass on his kidney. Impaired kidney function.3. Low Calcium – Patient is in advance age. Decrease intake of calcium rich food.4. High Phosphorus - Patient has a kidney problem. As calcium is low, phosphate goes up as natural physiologic reaction of the body when having a kidney disease.

Focus Assessments:1. Chest Assessment – To check for adventitious breathing sound. Shortness of breath and use of accessory muscles in breathing.3. Abdominal Assessment – To check for abdominal distention and presence of bowel sounds. + passing of flatus and LBM.4. Peripheral Vascular Assessment – To check any signs of DVT especially patient is always on the bed and undergone a urinary diversion surgery.5. Pain Assessment – To check patient perception of pain and his tolerance.6. Nephrostomy Assessment – To check if the site is dry and clean and draining completely to a bag attach to it.7. IV line Assessment – To check if IV is infusing properly. The site is clean and dry.8. Genitourinary Assessment – To check if can void independently with no pain, and to check the amount voided.

Health Teachings:1. Encourage deep breathing and coughing. To slightly elevate the head of the bed to promote ventilation.2. To ambulate as much as possible within the day to prevent DVT and stimulate movement to prevent paralytic ileus.3. Encourage to report any pain, abnormalities, and sign and symptoms of infection.4. Inform to report to health care professionals if noticing any signs of bleeding.5. Encourage to increase fluid intake.

Now What:Patient is POD3. He is still recovering from surgery. He can already walk around but still need assistance in going to bathroom considering also his age. He loss blood during surgery and also his left nephrostomy is draining bloods that is why his Hgb, Hct, and RBC are low. He is in Cytotoxic

Page 18: CPE4   week 4

Precaution because he is taking cytotoxic drugs to slow down the spread of carcinoma. His nuclear medicine report show he is likely to be diagnose with of Prostate Cancer that already metastasize to his lungs and nodes. As to the bone it still remain a question mark that is why in 8/23/16 he went for a bone scan to determine if the cancer have already metastasize to the bone. His prostate specific antigen is high 8331 (<4.50). Continuous monitoring to be done on this patient particularly on his voiding and respiration.
