EVALUATION
Patient J.M.B. was one of the patients and became the focus of the
student’s case study during their 7-3 Shift at Ilocos Training and Regional
Medical Center, Medical Ward. He was admitted last April 6, 2018 with an
admitting diagnosis of Cerebrovascular Disease, Infarct Left Middle Cerebral
Artery. An interview and assessment were conducted to gather data and
information needed to create a nursing care plan that addressed the patient’s
problems and needs.
The patient was placed to room of choice and was hooked with an
ongoing intravenous line of PNNS 1L at KVO rate. Since verbal communication
between the nurses and the patient was impaired, they provided appropriate
health teachings to the family members instead; regarding proper nutrition,
proper hygiene, and important precautions of the associated risks of the patient.
Therefore, the patient’s family was able to gain knowledge and understanding
regarding the patient’s condition. Importance of having adequate nutrition and
healthy lifestyle was emphasized such as controlling high blood pressure, eating
healthy, seizing cigarette smoking, being physically active, losing weight,
controlling blood sure and managing cholesterol.
Patient-centered objectives were partially met despite the limited time
frame of our exposure and nurse-patient interaction. Throughout his confinement,
the patient was able to receive effective and efficient nursing interventions.
Regarding impaired verbal communication, the patient utilized the use of
gestures as an alternative form of communication to express his needs. For the
edema, the patient demonstrated signs of fluid balance such as semi-dry skin but
edematous extremities are still evident. For the activity intolerance, the patient
was able to participate willingly on desired activities such as performing self-care
activities but physiologic signs of introlerance are still evident. For the difficulty of
speaking, alternative forms of communication were used such as gestures by
simply nodding the head to relay agreement and expressing “no” using his hand
when answering to close-ended questions. Active listening was also emphasized
in order to anticipate the patient’s needs. For the altered mental status,
reorienting the patient to time, place and location was the utmost priority. The
patient was able regain level of consciousness but recurrent confusion was still
evident.
Student-centered objectives were met. The student nurses have provided
the necessary and quality nursing care of a patient with stroke. In addition, the
exposure taught them how to show emotional support as the client recuperates
from his illness. Nurse-patient interaction skills and assessment skills was
practiced effectively and efficiently by making sure that the physical assessment
done to the patient was done cephalocaudally. Nursing diagnosis with the
significantly related nursing care plan was formulated to performance of
appropriate nursing interventions to the patient were done. Necessary nursing
interventions needed to improve the condition of the patient were provided and
able to provide quality nursing care which is utmost concern every time in
handling a patient. The students have learned that in everything that one does,
safety always comes a priority, to avoid physical trauma and any untoward
injuries that may worsen a patient’s condition.
The student nurses have provided the necessary and quality nursing care
to improve the condition of patient J.M.B. In addition, the exposure at Ilocos
Training and Regional Medical Center, taught the students how to apply the
principles of nursing management to the care of a patient with cerebrovascular
disease.
On April 6, 2018, the student nurses still handled patient J.M.B and was
discharged with a final diagnosis of Transient Ischemic Attack.
