|
No evidence. |
| Spiritual
Patient is a Christian. Patient stated that her spiritual belief does not prevent her from receiving any medical care deemed appropriate for her heath and the fetus. |
No evidence. |
| Sociocultural
Patient is African American woman. She is unmarried. Her mother is providing social support. The father of the baby is not present. There is no information provided about her employment history or socioeconomic status.
|
No evidence. |
| Psychological (Include maternal-infant bonding behavior):
Pt is anxious about current health status. Pt is asking questions about the care provided. Pt complained of presenting symptoms such as nausea. |
Anxiety related to current health status as evidenced by pt lack of knowledge about the care, signs and symptom of preeclampsia. |
| Developmental
Patient is 23-year-old so that puts her in Ericson 6th stage of psychosocial development which is Intimacy vs Isolation. The father of the baby is not present for unknown reason. It was only the mother who is there to give support and first-time expectant mother at 23 years of age without a father is stressful so I would put her in the category of Isolation if the expectant mother is neglected. However, there is no evidence why the father is not there.
|
No evidence. |
Laboratory & Diagnostic Results: If lab/diagnostic data is not available, discuss expected normal values with rationales. Nursing Maternity Careplan Assignment
| Lab | Result 04/24/18 at 0713 | Normal Value
|
Implications/rationales |
| RPR
|
Non-reactive | Non-reactive | Rapid Plasma Reagin test for the presence of syphilis. A reactive test could indicate a higher risk of preterm labor or miscarriage for mother and/or IUGR, preterm birth, stillbirth, or congenital infections for the baby. |
| GBS
|
Negative | Negative | Test for the presence of Group B streptococcal bacteria. A positive test could mean baby has the possibilities of being infected. Mothers are given antibiotics and monitored for 48 hours after delivery.
. |
| Rubella
|
Immune | 7 IU/mL or less (Negative) | Antibody titer indicates immunity to rubella, and a negative antibody titer means the mother is not immune. If mother is infected with rubella during first trimester, baby could be born with congenital infection. |
| Hepatitis
|
Negative | Negative | Tests for presence of the Hepatitis A.B and C surface antigen which indicates artificial immunity. Lack of immunity means the mother is more vulnerable to contracting the virus which could be
transmitted to the baby during birth. |
| HIV
|
Negative. | Negative | Tests for the presence of HIV antibodies. A positive test would indicate presence of HIV antibodies in the mother’s blood and HIV infection that can be transmitted to the baby if adherence to ART is not met. |
| Chlamydia
|
Negative | Negative | This test for the presence of chlamydia bacteria. A positive test would indicate that mother is infected with chlamydia which can cause neonatal conjunctivitis in the newborn as the baby passes through the birth canal. |
| Gonorrhea
|
Negative | Negative | Test for the presence of gonorrhea bacteria. A positive test would indicate that mother is infected with gonorrhea which can cause neonatal conjunctivitis in the newborn as it passes through the birth canal. Could also
mean preterm birth or IUGR for the baby. |
| RBC
|
2 (low) | (3.72-5.43*10/L) | Red blood cells are important delivering oxygen to the tissues and bringing CO2 back to the lung for exchange. Low RBC indicates patient’s oxygen delivery to the tissues is compromised |
| Hemoglobin
|
7.4 g/dL (Low) | 11.1 – 15.9 g/dL | Indicates O2 carrying capacity. A low value could indicate that mother is hypoxic or hypoxemic. This would mean low oxygenation for the baby as well which will put the baby in distress. |
| Hematocrit | 28.8 % (Low) | 34.0– 46.6% | Indicates proportion of RBCs to blood volume. Is normally low during pregnancy due to physiological anemia. A low value indicates that mother is hypoxemic or hypoxic which can cause intrauterine growth restriction and distress to the baby during labor |
| Platelet
|
136 x 10(10-34 IU/L)3 cells/dL | 150-379 x 103 cells/dL | Indicates clotting ability. A higher than normal platelet count means that the mother is more prone to forming thrombi, which could harm the baby if mother develops a PE or if clot affects placental perfusion. A lower than normal count indicates that the mother is more prone to hemorrhage which can also harm baby due to hypo-perfusion of the placenta. This test in important because pregnant mothers are in a hypercoagulation state. |
| BUN | 32 (High) | (8-23mg/dL) | To evaluate kidney function. Elevated BUN is generally caused by dehydration or urine flow is blocked. |
| Creatinine | 2.6 (High) | (0.8-1.4mg/dL) | Elevated creatinine level indicates impaired kidney function. Pt may be diagnosed with acute kidney injury. |
| Albumin | 3.5 | (3.5-5.0g/dL) | Albumin level is used to assess patient’s liver or kidney function and it is used to detect malnutrition. |
| ALT | 40 (High) | (8-37 IU/L) | Used to assess liver function that is related to liver disease or muscle damage. |
| AST | 42 (High) | (10-34 IU/L) | Used to assess liver function that is related to liver disease or muscle damage. |

Using the pattern below, develop a nursing care plan for the problem with the highest priority.
NURSING DIAGNOSIS #1
Nursing Diagnosis (State fully). Ineffective breathing pattern related to epigastric pain and chest tightness as evidenced by RR 22 and low SpO2 of 85%
Goal: The patient maintains an effective breathing pattern as evidenced relaxed breathing at normal rate and maintain oxygen saturation >95%.
| Outcomes (3) | Interventions with cited Rationales State enough Interventions for the 3 outcomes | Evaluation Statement(s) supported with Patient’s Response (clinical data) to Interventions |
| 1. Pt respiratory rate remains with in normal limit.
2. To have patient communicate a reduction in or absence of pain that is less than 3 on a scale of 0-10 by the end of the shift.
3. Patient’s oxygen saturation level return to and remain within established limits
|
1. Assess and document respiratory rate, rhythm and depth Q4hrs.
Rationale: Respiratory rate and rhythm changes are early warning signs of respiratory distress. (Gulanick & Meyers, 2014, pg. 35). 2. Encourage to take deep breaths by using demonstration such as low inhalation, holding end inspiration for a few seconds, passive exhalation, and pursed – lip breathing; educate patient how to use incentive spirometer. Rationale: The use of these techniques promotes deep inspiration, which increases oxygenation and lung surface area. Controlled breathing techniques may also help slow respiration with patients with increased respiratory rate. (Gulanick & Meyers, 2014, pg. 35). 3. Auscultate breath sounds Rationale: listening patient lung for crackles, wheezing or diminished breath sounds to detect respiratory issues (Gulanick & Meyers, 2014, pg. 198).
1.Conduct an extensive pain assessment using the appropriate tool. Rationale: pain can decrease the work of breathing and change breathing pattern. (Gulanick & Meyers, 2014, pg. 198). 2. Determine the optimal route of analgesic administration depending on the pain characteristics and condition of the pt. Rationale: each route has differing rates of onset and duration, but oral administration is often selected due to convenience and relative steady blood levels (Ackley & Ladwig et al., 2017, pg. 641). 3.Ensure that there is a rest period so that the pt. can relax and find comfort. Rationale: Fatigue and worry can exacerbate pain symptoms unable to participate with care. Encouraging the pt. to rest can therefore help to lessen pain symptoms (Potter et al, 2013, pg. 980).
1. Monitor pulse oximetry Rationale: Frequent monitoring of oxygen saturation can alert healthcare provider if there is a change in patint’s condition (Gulanick & Meyers, 2014, pg. 578). 2. Assess skin color and temperature on all extremities Rationale: a change pt’s skin color to pale, blue or ashen shows increased concentration of deoxygenated blood and that shows ineffective breathing pattern (Gulanick & Meyers, 2014, pg. 198). 3.Provide supplemental oxygen therapy. Rationale: Restoring patient’s oxygen saturation to normal is crucial to increase cerebral perfusion (Gulanick & Meyers, 2014, pg. 578).

Patient had stable respiratory rate of 12 at the end of the shift.
Patient was asked to rate pain level on a 0-10 scale. Patent rated a pain level of 2 and is breathing without difficulty by the end of the shift on 4/12/2019.
Patient SpO2 98% at the end of the shift.
|
NURSING DIAGNOSIS #2
Nursing Diagnosis (State fully): Fluid volume deficit related to fluid shift out of vascular compartment as evidenced by edema and 3 lb weight gain in a week.
Goal: For patient to be normovolemic by the end of the shift.
| Outcomes (3) | Interventions with cited Rationales State enough Interventions for the 3 outcomes | Evaluation Statement(s) supported with Patient’s Response (clinical data) to Interventions |
| 1. For the patient to attain a systolic BP greater than or to 90 mm Hg or the patient’s baseline.
2. For urine output to be greater than 30 ml/hour.
3. Achieve normal skin turgor.
|
1.Perform a history of the patient to determine cause of fluid disturbance.
Rationale: This is necessary to determine the proper interventions (Gulanick & Meyers, 2014, p. 76).
2.Assess the patient’s weight periodically at the same time each day ensuring that the same clothing is worn.
Rationale: This facilitates accurate measurement and assessment (Gulanick & Meyers, 2014, p. 76).
3.Evaluate fluid status in relation to dietary intake. Rationale: Most fluid enters the body through consumption of food and drink. Monitoring this helps to determine whether the patient’s diet is the cause (Gulanick & Meyers, 2014, p. 76).
4.Monitor and document BP and HR. Rationale: Increase in blood volume can lead to h Try it now! Get 20% Discount on This PaperHow it works? Follow these simple steps to get your paper done
