Nursing Management

Discharge Planning METHOD (Example) M (Medications): Lasix (Furosemide). Decreases swelling and blood pressure by increasing the amount of urine. Expect increased frequency and volume of urine. Report irregular heartbeat, changes in muscle strength, tremor, and muscle cramps, change in mental status, fullness, ringing/roaring in ears. Eat foods high in potassium such as whole grains (cereals), legumes, meat, bananas, apricots, orange juice, potatoes, and raisins. Avoid sun/sunlamps. Take with breakfast to avoid GI upset. Digoxin (Lanoxin). Used to treat CHF. Taking too much can result in GI disturbances, changes in mental status and vision. Report the following signs/ symptoms to your doctor: Nausea, vomiting, lack of appetite, fatigue, headache, depression, weakness, drowsiness, confusion, nightmares, facial pain, personality changes, sensitivity to light, light flashes, halos around bright objects, yellow or green color perception. Take pulse rate for one minute before dose and call doctor if pulse is below 60 before taking medication. Dont increase or skip doses. Dont take over the counter medications without talking to MD. Report for follow-up visits with your doctor to monitor lab values. E (Exercise/Environment): Your eldest daughter will provide help with activities of daily living in the home. She will transport you to followup appointments. It is important to take steps to prevent falls: use of a 3-point cane for stability with ambulation; removing objects like throw rugs, cords that may cause fall; pausing before standing and again before walking to prevent drop in blood pressure. The life line allow you to access 911 for emergency help. You may resume activities as tolerated and you have a follow-up appointment with the doctor in 1 week. T (Treatments): Apply A & D ointment to reddened coccyx and heels three times a day. Keep pressure off of these areas by keeping off of back and elevating heels off of bed. Keep skin clean and dry. Report any changes in skin condition to doctor. (i.e. open areas, drainage, elevated temp.) H (Health knowledge of disease): Lasix can cause a loss of potassium. It is important to eat foods high in potassium and to have regular blood levels drawn to make sure potassium level stays normal. Monitoring the pulse rate before taking digoxin is important because this medicine can cause the pulse to drop. Call the doctor if pulse rate is below 60 beats per minute. New signs and symptoms should be reported to the physician, because they may indicate electrolyte imbalance &/or digoxin toxicity. Sodium causes water retention so it is important to limit sodium intake by eating a no added salt diet. Be careful to check labels for hidden salt content. O (Outpatient/inpatient referrals): (include resources such as websites and organizations): American Heart Association www.americanheart.org Visiting Nurses Association for F/U skin assessment. Referral made to outpatient dietician for diet planning. Meals on Wheels. D: (Diet): Do not add salt to your diet. Eat foods high in potassium such as bananas. We will arrange for you to meet with the dietician.
