Impaired GFR results into
fluid overload. With fluid
volume excess, venous
pressure is more likely to
cause both circulatory and
pulmonary congestion. The
patient may possibly
manifests fatigue,
dyspnea, tachypnea,
muscle weakness
(including diaphragm), or
sputum production that
are related to pulmonary
congestion. Physical stress
also impacts pulmonary
functioning.
Goal:

Short Term:
After 4 hours of nursing
interventions, patient will be
able to reduce labored and
difficult breathing and
establish a respiratory rate
of less than 30cpm.

Short Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurs when one suffers from gradual and usually permanent loss of kidney function over time. With loss of kidney function, there is an
accumulation of water; waste; and toxic substances, in the body, that are normally excreted by the kidney. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), the measure of the kidney's function,
determines the severity or stage of the disease (whereas Stage 5 CKD is considered Renal Failure due to gradual loss of GFR, GFR < 15: needs dialysis). CKD often develops from 1Diabetes
(stenosis/ischemic), 2Hypertension (microvascular damage), 3Glomerulonephritis (post-infection), or 4Nephrotoxicity (medications).

Scientific Explanation
of the Problem
Renal disorder impairs
glomerular filtration that
resulted to fluid overload.
With fluid volume excess,
hydrostatic pressure is
higher than the usual
pushing excess fluids into
the interstitial spaces,
causes venous return,
leading the patient to have
edema, weight gain,
pulmonary congestion and
HPN at the same time due
to decrease GFR, nephron
hypertrophied leading to
decrease ability of the
kidney to concentrate
urine and impaired
excretion of fluid thus
leading to oliguria/anuria.
With associated DM, there
is a possibility that sugar
crystallization has occurred
and leads to renal artery
stenosis or a microvascular
complication due to
viscosity of blood.
Planning
Goal:
Reduce Fluid Volume
Excess, output more

Short Term:
After 4 hours of
nursing interventions,

Scientific Explanation

Planning
Risk for Impaired
Skin Integrity r/t
edema and
prolonged bed rest
d/t
Due to fluid retention, fluid
accumulates and fluid
shifts from intracellular
compartment to
extracellular compartment
causing escape of fluid to
the tissues (edema). With
associated complications of
anemia, skin nutrition
would be crucial and may
have easily broken off.
Goal:
Prevent Risks on Developing
Skin Breakdown.
Objective:
> Peripheral Edema
> Prolonged bed
rest
> Pallor
> Hgb
> Diaphoretic, cold
clammy skin
> Unresponsive;
may be due to
fatigue/weakness.
DM could cause high blood
sugar levels and leads to
viscosity of blood that also
impairs nutrition of skin or
reduction of blood cells to
capillaries.
Short Term:
After 4 hours of nursing
interventions, patient will be
able to remove potential
threats that may lead to
poor skin integrity.
Long Term:
After 5 days of nursing
interventions, patient will be
able to identify and avoid
factors that lead to skin
breakdown.
Interventions
Collaborative:
1. Ferrous Sulfate (Iron
supplement) as ordered.
2. Update Lab Findings for
CBC (RBC, Hgb, Hct).
1. To help body regulate
RBC in the
absence/lacking of
hormone erythropoietin.
2. To evaluate efficacy of
treatment/prophylaxis for
anemia regimen.
3. CBG T.I.D. as ordered.
3. To determine
hyperglycemia that makes
blood viscous and induces
the risk for infection.
Independent:
1. Assess skin appearance
(color, texture,
temperature).
1. To determine edema or
erythema that indicates
possible bed sore.
2. Turn patient side to side
every 2 hours if possible.
