This report focuses on the holistic nursing care of a 44-year-old patient, Mr. Peter Newman, admitted with an infective exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The report begins by outlining key considerations for developing a patient-centered care plan, including breathing patterns, oxygenation levels, patient knowledge of COPD, nutritional status, and functional status. It then identifies three priority nursing assessments: increased respiratory rate and breathing workload, reduced oxygen saturation, and unintended weight loss with reduced appetite, explaining their significance. Furthermore, the report details three priority nursing diagnoses: ineffective airway clearance, ineffective breathing pattern, and imbalanced nutrition, explaining their relevance to Mr. Newman's condition. Finally, the report emphasizes the importance of patient education post-discharge, covering topics such as COPD risk factors, self-management strategies, the significance of nutrition, medication adherence, and when to seek medical attention, aiming to prevent future exacerbations. This comprehensive approach underscores the critical role of nurses in managing COPD patients and promoting their well-being.
