|
inefective breathing pattern impaired gas exchange
|
adequate oxygenation is a basic physiological need. to privide oxygen to the cells. without oxygen the client may become short of breath and fatigued and prevent him from taking part in activities. this can cause atelectasis or pneumonia and lead to prolonged recovery and hospital stay |
|
|
ineffective airway clearance |
a patent airway is a basic physiological need and is needed to provide oxygen to the tissues. if not addressed the client may not comply with the medical regimen which could lead to atelectasis or pneumonia and lead to prolonged recovery and hospital stay. |
|
|
impaired skin integrity impaired tissue integrity |
intact skin is the bodies first line of defense against infection and fluid loss. if this is not addressed it can lead to infection, pain and dehydration which could prolong recovery and hospital stay |
|
|
ineffective peripheral tissue perfusion |
adequate peripheral tissue perfusion is a basic physiological need to provide nutrients to the cells and tissues. if not addressed it could lead to edema and tissue death which would lead to prolonged recovery and hospital stay |
|
|
pain |
being pain free is a basic physiological need to maintain homeostasis. if not controlled it can lead to elevated vital signs and decreased GI motility and participation and may lead to prolonged recovery and hospital stay |
|
|
deficient fluid volume |
maintaining fluid volume levels is a basic physiological need to maintain electrolyte balance. if a deficit is not addressed it can lead dehydration, confusion and weakness and could prolong recovery and hospital stay |
|
|
impaired mobility (bed,physical) |
mobility is a basic physiological need to promote circulation and pulmonary function. if not addressed he will be at risk for pneumonia and DVT which would lead to prolonged recovery and hospital stay |
|
|
activity intolerance |
being active is a basic physiological need to promote circulation and oxygenation and GI motility. if mr/mrs remains inactive it could lead to DVT's pneumonia and constipation which could prolong recovery and hospital stay. |
|
|
impaired comfort |
comfort is a basic human need to promote a sense of well being . if the patient remains uncomfortable he/she is at risk for depression and aggitation which could lead to prolonged recovery and hospital stay due to lack of participation in the medical regimen. |
|
|
decreased cardiac output |
adequate cardiac output is a basic physiological need to supply nutrients to the cells. if it is not addressed it will lead to increased edema dyspnea and lack of participation in medical regime which could lead to prolonged recovery and hospital stay. |
