Lying in bed leads to bed sores. Activity increases chances for recovery. Patient is able to leave the bed for longer periods. 4. Mental activities for patients confined to an institution. Bingo and reading in groups increases quality of life Patient becomes an active participant in activities.

A. assessment is an important process in nursing.. you must know how to identify problems and prioritize it whether which among those problems need immediate intervention.. if you say that your patient is recovering, then the subjective and objective complaints that your patient had before may have alleviated or diminished..

Q. how can i do a nursing care plan with a diagnosis of acute pain related to post completion of curettage?
Asked by joi z - Wed Feb 25 08:23:04 2009 - - 0 Answers - 0 Comments
A. AEB patient rates pain X on a scale of 0-10. I don't know what type of curettage your patient had...D&C? Interventions could include administering prescribed pain meds, allowing patient time to sleep/rest, dim lights and make the room comfortable to promote healing, plan for social work to see her to assist with emotional pain which may be increasing her physical pain. If the patient had a tumor or something like that removed in the abdomen, then you can administer ice pack to the area, assess the area for redness, swelling, and take vital for signs of infection which would increase pain. Good Luck hun! Hope I helped some.

Asked by lyka - Sat Nov 22 09:36:19 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. This depends on what the nursing diagnosis is. If the patient has a nursing diagnosis of Risk for Falls, the nursing care plan would include the client goal, which must include a specific, measureable time EX: Patient will remain free of falls for the duration of his/her stay. Then it includes nursing interventions (about 3 or 4) Such as: Remove all unnecessary clutter from the room, Keep items frequently used by the patient, so they can be easily reached. For each intervention, there must be an outcome, which states how the patient responded to the intervention. For ex: The patient did not trip over any items in the room. The patient did not fall out of bed reaching for items that were too far away.

a nursing care plan about malnutrition?
Q. nursing care plan that have your nursing interventions,planning objectives and the health problems
Asked by kaito_jan - Tue Apr 21 22:47:39 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Undernutrition is a form of malnutrition. (Malnutrition also includes overnutrition Obesity and the Metabolic Syndrome). Undernutrition can result from inadequate ingestion of nutrients, malabsorption, impaired metabolism, loss of nutrients due to diarrhea, or increased nutritional requirements (as occurs in cancer or infection). Undernutrition progresses in stages; each stage usually takes considerable time to develop. First, nutrient levels in blood and tissues change, followed by intracellular changes in biochemical functions and structure. Ultimately, symptoms and signs appear. Treatment usually consists of replacing missing nutrients, treating symptoms as needed, and treating any underlying medical condition.

Q. i mean the nursing care plan table about dental abscess
Asked by alfie c - Tue Sep 18 09:23:09 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. If you have an abscess then you will first need to be put on antibiotics to clear up the infection. Then you need to make a decision as to whether you want to keep the tooth and have a root canal done to remove the infected nerve or have the tooth extracted. If you don't have ant treatment done on your tooth the infection will come back and it will be worse than before. The best option would be to have the root canal done to keep your tooth because if you extract the tooth then over time your other teeth will shift and move into the space so your bite will change. Root canals are not as painful as they use to be but people are still very scared of having them done but when you remove the infected nerve your tooth will feel so much better.

Asked by melnursegirl - Sat Oct 14 08:48:01 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Your interventions will be similar to that of an adult, for example you will need to assess Neuro status. In an adult you would look at their level of orientation , are they answering questions appropriately, are their pupils equal... For an infant, you cannot determine their level of orientation, but you assess their pupils, assess their fontanel (is it bulging or is it flat, etc.), are they eating, are they withdrawing from painful stimuli, etc. Try looking at you care plan for an adult with head injury and see where you can adapt it to meet an infant. Important differences for pediatrics involve the family. Assist the parents in understanding the disease process, and assist with boding. Good luck!
