NURSING CARE PLANPROBLEM: Ineffective breathingNURSING DIAGNOSIS: Ineffective breathing pattern r/t pain as evidenced by hypoventilation and increased in respiratory rateTAXONOMY: Activity-Exercise patternCAUSE ANALYSIS: Pain can lead to anxiety and secondary to reflex musculoskeletal spasm, which in turn tend to worsen pain. Inadequate treated pain can provoke physiologic responses that can alter circulation and tissue metabolism and produce a physical manifestation, such as tachycardia, reflective of increased sympathetic activity. ( Carol Mattso, Porth “Pathophysiology” concepts of altered health status, 6th edition, p. 1130)
CUES OBJECTIVES INTERVENTION RATIONALE EXPECTED OUTCOME
SUBJECTIVE:
OBJECTIVES>Respiratory rate above normal range >hypoventilation
STO: After 8 hours of giving care
and interventions, patient will be able to demonstrate breathing pattern that supports blood gas results with in clients normal parameters
LTO: After 3 days of giving care
and with appropriate nursing intervention patient will be able to maintain an effective breathing as evidence by:
- normal rate, rhythm & depth of respiration
-absence of hypoventilation
Independent
Monitor RR, depth, ease of respiration
Note pattern of respiration
Monitor the presence of pain and provide pain medication for comfort as needed
Position client in an upright or semi-fowler’s position with lateral position for 60-90 minutes.
Encourage client to take deep breaths at prescribe interval or use of incentive spirometer; reinforce client’s progress
In acute dyspneic state, ensure that the client has received the medications or treatment needed and then stay to provide support.
Normal reparatory rate is 12-16 bpm in adult
Normal respiratory pattern is regular in the healthy adult
Pain causes the client to hypoventilate avoid taking deep breath
It facilitates lung full expansion
Anxiety can exacerbate dyspneic panic state. The nurse presence, reassurance, and help in controlling the client’s breathing with slower pursed-lip breathing is helpful
STO: After 8 hours of giving care and
interventions, patient was able to demonstrate breathing pattern that supports blood gas results with in clients normal parameters
LTO: After 3 days of giving care
and with appropriate nursing intervention patient was able to maintain an effective breathing as evidence by:
- normal rate, rhythm & depth of respiration
-absence of hypoventilation

PROBLEM: feverNURSING DIAGNOSIS: hyperthermia r/t effect of endogenous pyrogens TAXONOMY: Nutritional-metabolic patternCAUSE ANALYSIS: endogenous pyrogens (interleukin-1) which comes from macrophages and activated by phagocytosis, endotoxins and others act on the temperature regulating centers in the hypothalamus to elevate the thermostat set-point by inducing the hypothalamus to release prostaglandin E3, which acts on the hypothalamus to evoke fever response. When the set-point is increased, mechanism for raising body temperature is activated. (Focus on pathophysiology by Bullock and Henzie, pp. 264)
CUES OBJECTIVES INTERVENTION RATIONALE EXPECTED OUTCOME
SUBJECTIVES:>patient may verbalized chilling sensation with associate periods of warm or flushed skin
OBJECTIVES> increase temperature above normal range> increase RR,>20 bpm>skin warm to touchskin that appears flushed and feels warm (fever abatement)>glassy-eyed appearance
STO: After 2-3 days in giving nursing intervention, the patient will be able to decrease its temperature by 0.50 C- 10 C until it reaches to normal range.
LTO: After 10 days of giving nursing intervention, the patient will be able to maintain core temperature within normal range.
INDEPENDENT:>monitor temperature (degree &pattern); note chills/ profuse diaphoresis
>provide TSB; avoid use of alcohol
>note presence/ absence of sweating as body attempts to increase heat loss by evaporation, conduction, and diffusion.
>assess neurologic response, noting level of consciousness and orientation; reaction to stimuli; reaction of pupils and presence of posturing seizures
>provide cooling blankets
COLLABORATIVE:>administer antipyretics (Tylenol, paracetamol)
>temperature of 102o F – 106o F (38.9o C- 41.10 C) suggests acute infection disease process. Chills often precede temp. Spikes.
>may help reduce fever
>evaporation is decreased by environmental factors of high humidity and high ambient temperature as well as body factors producing loss of ability to sweat
>neurologic conditions of an individual may be affected if there’s an increase in temperature
>helps to reduce fever
>it reduces fever by its central action on the hypothalamus
STO: After 2-3 days in giving nursing intervention, the patient was able to decrease its temperature by 0.50 C- 10
C until it reaches to normal range.
LTO: After 10 days of giving nursing intervention, the patient was able to her/his maintain core temperature within normal range.

PROBLEM: Fatigue NURSING DIAGNOSIS: Fatigue r/t severe pain as evidenced by yawning, irritability, and rapid pulseTAXONOMY: Activity-Intolerance Pattern CAUSE ANALYSIS: The severe pain of biliary colic is produced by obstruction of the cystic duct of the gallbladder. When a store is moving through or is lodged within the n an effort to mobilize the stone through the small duct. This intense pain may be so sever that it is accompanied by tachycardia, pallor, diaphoresis, and prostration (extreme exhaustion). (Medical-Surgical Nursing 5th edition by Ignativicius p.1399)
CUES OBJECTIVES INTERVENTION RATIONALE EXPECTED OUTCOME

OBJECTIVES>yawning>irritability >dark shadows under the eye>uncoordinated movements>lethargic>inability to concentrate>shortness of breath>rapid pulse(>100bpm)
STO: After 2-3 days in giving nursing intervention, the patient will be able to verbalize a measurable increase in activity tolerance.
LTO: After 10 days of giving nursing intervention, the patient will be able to have responsibility to self and to demonstrate progressiveActivity as tolerated and utilizes (activity) energy saving techniques.
INDEPENDENT>Monitor the client for evidence of excess physical and emotional fatigue.
>Monitor nutritional intake.
> Reduce physical discomforts.
> Arrange Physical activities (e.g., avoid activity immediately after meals).
> Encourage alternate rest and activity periods.
>Assist the client to schedule rest periods and avoid care activities during scheduled rest periods.
> Instruct the client or significant other to recognize the signs and symptoms of fatigue.
COLLABORATIVE>Collaborate with the client/family and the rehabilitation team.
>Extended periods of inactivity may place the client at risk for excessive fatigue when carrying out desired activities.
> Monitoring nutritional intake ensures that the client has adequate energy resources.
> Physical discomforts could interfere with cognitive function and self-monitoring/regulation of activity.
>Arranging physical activities reduces competition for oxygen supply to vital body functions.
>This avoids extended periods of either activity or exercise.
> Rest periods should help restore client energy levels.
> Symptoms of undue fatigue require a reduction in activity.
>Effective interdisciplinary interventions facilitate the client’s ability to manage his or her life.
After giving nursing intervention the patient was able to denies fatigue; no verbal report or observation of being lethargic or listless; denies feeling tired; denies an increased in rest requirements and no verbal report and observation of lack of energy.

PROBLEM: Pain NURSING DIAGNOSIS: Altered comfortt related to obstruction/ductal spasm secondary to choleliliatiasis. TAXONOMY: Cognitive-Perceptual PatternCAUSE ANALYSIS: If a gallstone obstructs the cystic duct, the gallbladder becomes distended, inflamed, and eventually infected (acute cholecystitis). The patient may have biliary colic with excruciating upper abdominal pain that radiates to the back or shoulder. Such a bout of biliary colic is caused by contraction of the gallbladder, which release bile because of obstruction by the stone.

Problem: ItchingNursing Diagnosis: Risk for impaired skin integrity related to pruritus secondary to obstructive jaundice.Taxonomy: Nutritional-Metabolic Pattern Cause Analysis: In a person with obstructive jaundice, the normal flow of bile into the duodenum is blocked, allowing excessive bile salts to accumulate in the skin. This accumulation of bile salts leads to pruritus (itching) or a burning sensation. (Medical-Surgical Nursing by Ignativicius p. 1397). This predisposes the individual to impaired skin integrity.CUES OBJECTIVES I NTERVENTIONS RATIONALE EXPECTED OUTCOMESUBJECTIVE: The client may verbalized itching both in upper and lower extremities.
