NURSING DIAGNOSIS

SCIENTIFIC BASIS

GOAL & OUTCOME CRITERIA After 2 hours of nursing interventions. The patients pain will be alleviated. OUTCOME CRITERIA: Specifically the patient will be able to: 1. Report alleviation of pain with a pain scale of 2 out of 10. 2. Reestablish comfort. 3. Verbalize relief from pain by the use of prescribed analgesic. 4. Use recreational activity to distract from pain.

Acute pain secondary to surgical incision.

Specialized pain receptors or nociceptors can be excited by mechanical stimuli (e.g trauma to body tissue from surgery). During the transduction phase, noxious stimuli with the potential to injure tissue trigger the release of biochemical mediators (e.g prostaglandins, histamine) that sensitize nociceptors. (Kozier, 2008)

After 2 hours of nursing interventions, the goal was Met as Evidence-d by:

INDEPENDENT Assess pain characteristics. Assessment of the pain experience is the first step in planning pain management strategies. (Gulanick, M et al, 2007) 1. The patient reported alleviation of pain with the scale 2 out of 10. 2. Verbalized comfort. 3. Verbalized relief of pain by the use of analgesic. 4. Able to used recreational activity to distract from pain.

5. Do deep breathing exercise.

Instruct relaxation exercise.

Techniques are used to bring about a state of physical and mental awareness and tranquility. (Gulanick, 2007) Relaxations techniques help reduce skeletal muscle tension, which will reduce the intensity of pain. (Kozier & Erbs, 2008) Prompt responses to complaints may result in decreased anxiety towards the patient. (Gulanick, 2007)

5. Utilized the deep breathing technique as an exercise to relieve pain.

Teach the patient to do proper deep breathing.

Respond immediately to complaints of pain.

DEPENDENT Give analgesic as prescribed. Pain medications are effective therapy. (Gulanick, 2007)

COLLABORATIVE Instruct the S.O to assist the patient in change positioning. To have knowledge on ways to help the patient meet the needs (Doenges, 2007) Individualizing the pain relieving regimen recognizes individual differences in pain perception and provides more effective control.

Collaborate with the physician for patients optimal pain management

Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs are used alone for mild pain and in combination with opioids for moderate to severe pain. (Gulanick, 2007

NURSING DIAGNOSIS Risk for deficient fluid volume secondary to NPO (nothing per orem) status.

SCIENTIFIC BASIS Because water is lost while electrolytes particularly sodium are retained, the serum sodium osmolality and serum sodium levels increase. Water is drawn into the vascular compartment from the interstitial space and cells, resulting in cellular dehydration (Kozier, 2008)

GOAL & OUTCOME CRITERIA After 4 hours nursing intervention the patient will be able to manifest fluid balance. OUTCOME CRITERIA: Specifically the patient will be able to: 1. Gain the lost water of the body. 2. Manifest good skin turgor. 3. Manifests moisten mucous membran es.

Oral fluids are usually restricted until peristalsis returns. (Gulanick, 2007)

COLLABORATIVE 1. Teach the patient and significant others for the interventions to prevent future episodes of inadequate intake. Patients need to understand the importance of drinking extra fluid during bouts of diarrhea, fever and other conditions

NURSING DIAGNOSIS Hyperthermia secondary to anesthesia.

SCIENTIFIC BASIS The hypothalamic integrator, the center that controls the core temperature, is located in the hypothalamus. When hypothalamus sensors detect heat, they send out signals intended to reduce the temperature that is to decrease heat production and increase heat loss. Thus, when the warmth
