Nursing Diagnosis
o PES / 1, 2, 3
Directly address the PES. Such as: wound healing: looking for PES that related
wound healing. Not select other thing else.
EX: PT stage 3 and non-healing ulcer which fowling statement best support
PES……..NOT looking for related infection.
P: impair skin integrant.
E: left side weakness.
S/S: secondary life style, incontinent.

Nutrition
BMR requirements: is the energy needed to maintain life-sustaining activities
(breathing, circulation, heart rate, and temperature) for specific period of time at rest.
The amount of energy or number of calories burned to maintain life
sustain activities at rest.
Weight can effect by calories intake.
Reduce my calories intake my weight will reduce
Eat too many calories intake my weight gain weight
If I eat the same calories then I will maintain my weight
EX: If PT BMR is imbalance, we want to the PT eat 5 or 6 small high calories
meals to meet body requirement,
Monitor PT calories intake by keep them dietary log,
Then RN review the dietary log to make recommendation to the PT increase
the calories intake.
Also review the Lab albumen and monitors their weight.
BMR imbalance caused factors: decease nutritional intake, abortion in the GI
track
o Assessment for wound healing

Intake and hydration in the food.
Hydration: skin turgor
Intake: 24 recall. (The % of amount intake) what percent did the PT eat.
o Diet types
Maintain protein is created positive nitrogen base that help the deposition and
granulation tissue grows.
Need energy and vitamin: A, C and zinc.
Low fat diet: all old people (cardiac disease PT has least 10% fat diet. Risk of low
fat diet: interfered absorption of soluble fat vitamins. Depression, colon and
breasts cancer. Related food.
o 3 part Nursing diagnosis
Ex: imbalance nutrition: less than body requirements related to decrease ability to
ingest food as a result of depression.
Diagnosis
Risk for aspiration
Diarrhea
Deficient knowledge
Imbalance nutrition less/more than body required
Impaired swallowing
Expected outcomes
Mrs Cooper will progressively gain weight.
Will gain 1 or 2 pounds per month until goal of 130 pounds is
reached.
Will ingest 1900 kcal/day, including 50g of protein per day.
Teaching:
Interventions: coordinate plan of care with health care provider, PT and
dietitian.
Mini test: 12-14 normal
8-11 at risk
0-7 malnourished
Enteral tubes
o How to insert an NGT: measure for nose to ear and to stomach
Gags keep going
Cough pulling out.
o Verification of placement
1. Measurement: Ph 1-4
2. Chest X –ray
3. NGT to suction by after the x –ray.
o Small bore vs. large bore tubes
NR224: Fundamentals: Skills
Study Guide for Exam 3
Large bore NG to decompression the small bowel. Can get medication
Small bore is enteral feeding and give medication. (Dobudff)
Both one medication at one time follow each time and 15 ML fluid flashed each
time after each follow the administration (Discounted)
Medication cannot crush enter costed any time
Intervention for medication: PT has no time, so we can call the doctor get new
order (Liquid). Change to liquid formed meds.
o Aspiration risks and nursing interventions
Dysphagia: difficulty swallowing
Different diet used
Chopped diet
Thinking water and juice.
High position
Not lower than 30 degree.
o Formula temperature for tubes
Consequences of temperature
Need to room temperature otherwise PT get abdominal cramping.
Too fast gets abdominal cramping
o Complications of tubes
Clogging the tube:
Dislodging or Migrated can go to lungs, remeasure the gastro tube but need to
get X ray first.
For intermittently fed patients, test placement immediately before feeding
(usually a period of at least 4 hours has elapsed since previous feeding).
More frequent checking has been associated with increased clogging of
small-bore tubes. To avoid clogging, flush tube with 30 mL water after
aspirating for the gastric residual volume
o Assessment of gastric residual
NG- PT get (intermittent or continuous feeding) check the GRV (stomach contain
the volume)
60 cc and undo the feeding. Drown back to see the volume.
If the volume is greater 250 Ml, feeding is too fast for PT to digest then call
doctor. Alter the feeding.
If measure 500 ml just once that is problem even though PT has high fyler
position 90 degree. Put respiration issue.
Normal is 40-45 Ml per hour
Urinary
NR224: Fundamentals: Skills
Study Guide for Exam 3
Cultural issue: people have difficulty to talk with GI or UI problems
Intervention: find someone who has the same culture.
o Oliguria: decease urine volume
Nursing interventions: increase fluid intake, less contraindicated.
Treat: monitor Intake and output. Assesse for skin turgor.
Check for UA
Low specific gravity solute in urine then sign of dehydration.
High specific gravity solute in urine then sign of hydration.
o Anuria: lack of urine volume, Kidney dises and renal disease.
Diabetes: lose weight
o Incontinence types
