|( 5 PATHOPHYSIOLOGY: (include APA reference and in text citations) (Mechanics of disease, risk factors, how to diagnose, how to treat, prognosis, and include any |

|genetic factors impacting the diagnosis, prognosis or treatment) |

|Renal failure is when the kidneys are unable to clear the blood of the waste products of protein metabolism (urea and creatinine). Urea is the end product of |

|protein catabolism resulting from the breakdown of ammonia in the liver and it is the primary method of nitrogen excretion of the body. When the body is unable to |

|excrete urea, it accumulates and causes toxicity to develop (Osborne, et al., 2010). |

|Diet ordered in hospital? Pt is NPO |Analysis of home diet (Compare to “My Plate” and |

|Diet pt follows at home? Regular |Consider co-morbidities and cultural considerations): |

|24 HR average home diet: |Based on my analysis of the patient’s diet, I can conclude that my patient does |

| |not have a very balanced diet. The patient rarely consumes fruits or vegetables |

| |and is consuming foods with high levels of cholesterol and fat. The patients BMI |

| |is also 25.8, which puts him in the overweight category, indicating further need |

| |for dietary modifications. |

|Breakfast: Eggs with grits or potatoes and bacon, glass of milk or orange juice | |

| | |

|Lunch: Patient described that he normally skips lunch because he isn’t hungry. He| |

|will sometimes have a snack instead. | |

| | |

|“southern foods.” | |

| |average home diet to the recommended portions, and use “My Plate” as reference. |

|(1 COPING ASSESSMENT/SUPPORT SYSTEM: (these are prompts designed to help guide your discussion) |

|Who helps you when you are ill? “My family.” |

| |

|How do you generally cope with stress? or What do you do when you are upset? “I watch TV and relax.” |

| |

| |

| |

| |

|Recent difficulties (Feelings of depression, anxiety, being overwhelmed, relationships, friends, social life) “No.” |

| |

| |

| |

|+2 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ASSESSMENT |

|Consider beginning with: “Unfortunately many, children, as well as adult women and men have been or currently are unsafe in their relationships in their homes. I |

|am going to ask some questions that help me to make sure that you are safe.” |

| |

|Have you ever felt unsafe in a close relationship? “No.” |

|Check one box and give the textbook definition (with citation and reference) of both parts of Erickson’s developmental stage for your |

|patient’s age group: This stage deals with having success in work and parenthood. Success in these areas leads to feeling accomplished while being unsuccessful in |

|these areas leads to feelings of shallow involvement in the world. |

|() |

|Describe the stage your patient is in and give the characteristics that the patient exhibits that led you to your determination: |

|I believe my patient is in the “generativity” stage because he described his children and family with a joyous tone and when I asked who helps him when he is ill |

|he described that his family helps him. He is also a grandparent, which him and his wife happily described to me. The patient is retired from his work due to |

|disability but the patient seemed to be accepting of this situation. |

|( 8 NURSING DIAGNOSES (actual and potential - listed in order of priority) |

|1. Risk for electrolyte imbalance related to renal dysfunction as evidence by persistent vomiting. |

| |

| |

|2. Impaired urinary elimination related to effects of disease as evidence by 24 hour urine output summary |

| |

| |

|3. Imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements related to effects of disease as evidence by nausea and vomiting |

| |

| |

|4. Excess fluid volume related to effects of disease as evidence by decreased urine output. |

| |

| |

|5. Fatigue related to effects of chronic uremia and anemia |
