NPR Instructions
1. You will complete the Patient information database papers
2. You will complete three (3) on the main medical diagnoses of your patient
3. You will complete the head to toe assessment form on your patient including the vital sign section.
4. You will complete the active / scheduled / daily and frequently used PRNs medications. (Note: if a large number, please clarify with clinical instructor).
5. You will complete the diagnostic procedure template for each diagnostic test. (Note: if the patient has multiple “same” test – i.e. daily chest x-rays – record the dates/times/ and interpretation of findings all in the same box.)
6. You will complete the lab interpretation sheet for all your patient’s labs. Make sure to include the admission labs – day of assignment – and additional in-between labs that complete the “story” of how the patient is doing. If a patient does not have one of the identified lab templates – you need to indicate that “no lab” completed / draw.
7. Complete the nursing diagnosis sheet (form # 8), list the problems based on your prioritization of importance. Please make sure they are listed in a 1, 2… fashion). This should be a complete listing of all problems based on your data collection. Note: the first 2 problems MUST be real problem not risk for.
8. You will complete the 3 form # 9 (#1 and #2 and “real problems” and #3 is a risk for or knowledge deficit problem).
9. You will complete a reference page (REQUIRED: course textbook and extra sources ok if peer-reviewed nursing journal / EBP) in APA format

Questions in class #1-3
Helpful hints for creating a Form #9
Assessment:
Use all your data that you have collected. We expect to see in the objective data area: head – toe assessment data, trended sets of vital signs labs, trended sets of vital signs, diagnostic tests, medications, etc. Example: Infection (pneumonia) = Temp #: Temp #: Temp # - WBC #: WBC #: WBC # - lung sounds – vital signs: vital signs: vital signs – sputum description – incentive spirometer volume # and goal #, chest x-ray: chest x-ray: chest x-ray – etc. The only way you know there is a problem with your patient is to have ALL the appropriate data.
Interventions:
When creating interventions there are certain verbs that indicate which category the intervention is placed into (categories: assessment – decreased stressor / strengthen lines of defense – teaching / counseling / referral). So, as you use your resources to help you create “patient specific interventions” the following verbs are to be used within the designated categories.
Assessment Decreased stressor / strengthen lines of defense Teaching / Counseling / Referral
Assess Administer Educate
Monitor Apply Teach
Observe Provide (care) Provide (education material)
Inquire Encourage Reinforce
Check Perform Consult
Evaluate Attend Inform
Determine Instruct
Discuss
manage
Goals:
Remember the techniques of SMART - - specific measurable achievable realistic and time sensitive goals. In the acute care setting your short-term goals need to be within the first 24 – 48 hours (this obviously is relevant to the length of stay of your patient) and the long-term goals need to be by day of discharge.
Reassessment statement:
In this section you are to complete another focused nursing narrative assessment on the body system/ assessment data reflected in your problem. Example: impaired gas exchange = a reassessment of the respiratory system, appropriate vital signs, etc.

Pathophysiology
1. Medical Diagnosis: COPD exacerbation
(Make sure you put the definition (“patho”) of what your diagnosis is here
(make sure to use a nursing source and cite in APA).
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease including emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. This disease is characterized by increasing breathlessness (Meg Gulanick, 2011).
