Nursing Diagnosis01:22

Nursing Diagnosis

4.0K
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...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis I

3.8K
A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.

Pathophysiology of Heart Failure

3.5K
Heart failure (HF) is a progressive syndrome involving ventricles that leads to inadequate cardiac output. It can be classified based on location and output or ejection fraction. Ejection fraction (EF) is an essential measurement in the diagnosis and surveillance of HF. Reduced EF corresponds to systolic heart failure (HFrEF). However, HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is becoming increasingly prevalent. Also known as diastolic HF, this form of HF is related to aging. The...

Heart Failure I: Introduction01:27

Heart Failure I: Introduction

847
Heart failure refers to a clinical syndrome caused by structural or functional cardiac disorders that prevent the heart from pumping an adequate amount of blood to meet the body's metabolic needs. This condition often arises from myocardial infarction or ischemia, leading to decreased cardiac output, reduced tissue perfusion, impaired gas exchange, fluid volume imbalance, and decreased functional ability.Heart failure can result from disruptions in the mechanisms that regulate cardiac output...

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis01:10

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

1.8K
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...

Acute Respiratory Failure-I01:21

Acute Respiratory Failure-I

977
Acute respiratory failure is a condition characterized by the inability of the lungs to perform their primary function: gas exchange. This failure leads to insufficient oxygen levels (hypoxemia) in the blood, elevated carbon dioxide levels (hypercapnia), or both, causing critical impairment in organ function.
Definition: It is defined by specific criteria based on blood gas measurements. Hypoxemia happens when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) falls below 60 mmHg. At the same time,...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Neonatology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Failure to thrive (FTT) in infants is a common concern with a broad differential diagnosis.
  • This case involves a 6-month-old male presenting with persistent FTT since birth, despite substantial oral caloric intake.

Observation:

  • The infant exhibited symptoms including suspected milk and soy protein allergy, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, and abdominal distension from birth.
  • Extensive initial workup, including laboratory tests, X-rays, upper GI series, barium enema, and abdominal ultrasound, yielded normal results.

Findings:

  • The patient's history, diagnostic process, and the eventual rare diagnosis are presented.
  • This case underscores the diagnostic challenges associated with FTT when initial investigations are inconclusive.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering rare conditions in the differential diagnosis of pediatric failure to thrive.
  • Emphasizes the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach, even when initial tests are normal.
  • Provides valuable insights for clinicians managing infants with unexplained FTT and gastrointestinal symptoms.
