NURSING DIAGNOSIS Ineffective Tissue Perfusion related to decrease blood flow 2 to circumferential burns of lower extremities

SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION Burn injury Injury to cells and muscles Triggered inflammatory response Release of chemical mediators such as kinins and histamine Increase blood vessel permeability Fluid shift from IV to interstitial space Edema Decrease blood volume Decrease venous return Dec. CO Dec. tissue perfusion

PLANNING Short term goal: After 48 hours of rendering nursing intervention, the patient will be able to: Verbalize understanding of condition, therapy regimen and side effects of medications With good capillary refill of 1-2 secs Skin warm and dry Lab values within normal range: Hct- 40-54% Hgb- 14-18

NURSING INTERVENTIONS Independent: Assess color of the skin, movement of the hands and peripheral pulses and capillary refill on extremities Encourage active ROM exercise of unaffected body parts Elevate the affected extremities

RATIONALE Edema formation readily compresses blood vessels thereby impending circulation and increases edema promotes systemic circulation/venous return

EVALUATION Short term goal: After 48 hours of rendering nursing intervention the goal was met as evidence by: The patient verbalized understanding of the condition, therapy regimen and side effects of medications Good capillary refill of 1-2 secs

Maximizes circulating volume and systemic circulation

Objective: With open burn wound that appears leathery Skin color: red to brown Presence of eschar Non pitting edema on the burned area VS: T:36 C P:125 bpm R:30 cpm BP:130/90mmHg

Destruction of skin layers

Impaired Skin Integrity

To evaluate actual/potential for impairment of circulation to lower extremities Promotes healing To assist bodys natural process of repair To promote wound healing and to best meet the needs of client To promote healing Moisture potentiates skin breakdown

Clean the wound area with hydrogen peroxide Keep the area clean/dry and stimulate circulation to surrounding areas Apply appropriate wound dressing

Maintain appropriate moisture environment for particular wound Remove wet or wrinkled linens promptly

extremities Use appropriate padding devices To reduce pressure on circulation to compromised tissues To provide a positive nitrogen balance to aid in skin/tissue healing For presence of reduced sensation/circulat ion To control feelings of helplessness and deal with situation

Provide optimum nutrition, including foods with vitamin C and adequate protein intake Emphasize importance of proper fit of clothing and shoes Assist pt to learn stress reduction and alternate therapy techniques

evidenced by: the patient demonstrated tissue regeneration and achieved timely wound healing as evidenced by: moist skin healing scar absence of edema on lower extremities

Collaborative: Assist with debridement To remove nonviable, contaminated or infected tissue

ASSESSMENT Subjective: Nanghihina ako Objective: with nausea and vomiting irritable confused urine output of 15 ml/hour dark yellow urine capillary refill 3secs Vital Signs: T:36 C P:125bpm R:30cpm BP:130/90mmHg Lab results: HCT=66%

NURSING DIAGNOSIS Deficient fluid volume related to abnormal fluid loss 2 third degree burn

SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION Burn injury Injury to cells and muscle Platelet aggregation

PLANNING Short term goal: After 8 hours of rendering nursing intervention the client will be able to demonstrate improved fluid balance as evidenced by: no complaints of nausea and vomiting absence of irritability capillary refill of 12secs Long term goal: After 1-2 days of nursing intervention, the patient will demonstrate improved fluid balance as evidenced by:

NURSING INTERVENTIONS Independent: Monitor vital signs, and capillary refill Monitor urine output color

RATIONALE Baseline data Allow for close observation of renal function and prevent urinary retention Deterioration in the level of conciousness may indicate inadequate circulating volume

EVALUATION Short term goal: After 8 hours of rendering an effective nursing intervention, the goal was met as evidenced by: no complaints of n/v no irritability capillary refill of 2 secs V/S as follows: T:36 C P:120bpm R:20cpm BP:110/70 Long term goal:

Damage renal function Decrease GRF Presence of azotemia

Investigate changes in mentation

Irritation in GI lining and alteration in nervous system

NURSING INTERVENTIONS Independent: Cover wound as soon as possible unless open area exposure burn care is required Elevate burned extremity periodically Assist with active and passive ROM as indicated Encourage expression of feeling about pain

RATIONALE

EVALUATION Short term goal:

Trigger inflammatory response

Temperature After 8 hours of rendering changes can cause nursing interventions goal great pain to was met as evidenced by: expose nerve endings pain scale of 4/10 Reduce edema formation and discomfort Movement and exercise reduce muscle fatigue Verbalization allows outlet of emotion and enhance coping mechanism Promotes relaxation and reduces muscle tension no grimaces absence of irritability

Release of chemical mediators such as prostaglandins

no grimaces absence of irritability

Edema formation

Compression of nerve endings Provide basic comfort measure such as massage on the un injured area and frequent position changes

Pain

Collaborative: Administer Tramadol 50mg IV q8 PRN For pain relief measure
