Winter 2020 PNUR125 Nursing Care Plan: Patient Analysis

This assignment is a detailed nursing care plan for a 64-year-old male patient with a complex medical history including diabetes, CHF, hypertension, and other conditions. The plan includes a comprehensive case summary with admitting diagnoses, allergies, and past medical history. A thorough medication history is provided, detailing the classification, action, and indication for each medication. The assignment then analyzes three specific patient needs: skin & hygiene, rest & sleep, and elimination (urine and bowel), and oxygenation & circulation. Data is presented for each need, followed by an analysis that identifies potential issues and appropriate nursing interventions. The patient's vital signs, including temperature and blood pressure, are evaluated. The assignment also touches upon safety, nutrition, and self-concept considerations. References are included to support the analysis and recommendations. The patient's lifestyle and eating habits are also evaluated in the context of his medical conditions.
