Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis01:10

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

1.9K
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...

Nursing Diagnosis

4.6K
Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.
The nursing diagnosis focuses on evidence-based...

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

1.7K
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Unusual Results

4.2K
Unusual results are those that have a very low chance of occurring. Unusual results can be identified using probabilities and the range rule of thumb. In problems involving probability, unusual results can be observed in 2 instances – an unusually high number of successes or an unusually low number of successes.
According to the range rule of thumb, any value above or below two standard deviations, 2σ  from the mean, μ  is considered unusual.
Maximum unusual value =...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II01:25

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II

4.3K
Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.
Risk nursing diagnoses represent clinical judgments of an individual, family, or community more vulnerable to developing the health problem than others...

Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...

Area of Science:

  • Internal Medicine
  • Nutritional Science
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency can lead to severe protein-energy malnutrition.
  • Undiagnosed deficiencies of essential vitamins, such as thiamine and niacin, can have profound systemic effects.

Observation:

  • A 61-year-old patient presented with severe malnutrition secondary to inadequately treated exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
  • Initial unrecognized thiamine deficiency manifested as beriberi disease with biventricular heart failure.
  • Subsequently, a manifest niacin deficiency (pellagra) developed, presenting with dermatitis, diarrhea, and persistent delirium.

Findings:

  • The patient's thiamine deficiency (beriberi) caused decompensated biventricular heart failure.
  • Niacin deficiency (pellagra) presented with characteristic symptoms of dermatitis, diarrhea, and delirium.
  • Prompt recognition and treatment of niacin deficiency led to recovery.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering classical vitamin deficiencies in patients with severe malnutrition and complex presentations.
  • Differential diagnosis for malnutrition should include beriberi and pellagra, especially when cardiac or neurological symptoms are present.
  • Effective management of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is crucial to prevent severe malnutrition and subsequent deficiency diseases.
