Introduction

Nursing diagnoses are vital components of the nursing process, providing a systematic method to identify patient needs and establish appropriate interventions. According to the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA), formulations of nursing diagnoses follow a specific structure: Diagnosis (Dx), reasoning (R/T, related to), and evidence (AEB, as evidenced by). This paper illustrates three complete NANDA nursing diagnoses related to a hypothetical patient's primary condition, along with SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) outcomes and corresponding nursing interventions.

Patient Background Context

For this exercise, consider a patient diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF), a common chronic condition requiring comprehensive nursing care. The diagnosis, outcomes, and interventions are tailored to managing symptoms, preventing complications, and promoting recovery.

Nursing Diagnosis 1: Decreased Cardiac Output related to impaired myocardial contractility as evidenced by dyspnea, fatigue, and edema

Expected Outcomes:

- Short-term: The patient's respiratory status will improve, evidenced by a reduction in dyspnea from 3+ to 1+ on the Borg scale within 48 hours.

- Long-term: The patient will demonstrate understanding of heart failure management, including medication adherence and activity restrictions, within one week.

Nursing Interventions:

1. Monitor vital signs, oxygen saturation, and respiratory status every 4 hours to assess cardiac function.

2. Elevate the HOB (head of bed) to 45 degrees to decrease preload and ease breathing.

3. Administer prescribed diuretics and ACE inhibitors as ordered to reduce preload and afterload.

4. Educate the patient on activity limitations and signs of worsening heart failure, including when to seek medical help.

Nursing Diagnosis 2: Excess Fluid Volume related to compromised cardiac function as evidenced by edema, weight gain of 2 kg in 48 hours, and increased jugular venous distension

Expected Outcomes:

- Short-term: The patient will exhibit a decrease in peripheral edema, with a reduction in limb swelling within three days.

- Long-term: The patient will maintain optimal fluid balance, evidenced by stable weight and absence of edema, within two weeks.

Nursing Interventions:

1. Monitor daily weight, intake and output, and physical assessment for edema.

2. Restrict fluid intake to prescribed limits and educate the patient regarding fluid management.

3. Administer prescribed diuretics and monitor electrolyte levels regularly.

4. Assess skin integrity and provide skin care to prevent breakdown related to edema.

Nursing Diagnosis 3: Activity Intolerance related to imbalance between oxygen supply and demand as evidenced by reports of fatigue and shortness of breath during activity

Expected Outcomes:

- Short-term: The patient will report decreased fatigue and dyspnea with activity, able to perform self-care for 15 minutes without support within 72 hours.

- Long-term: The patient will demonstrate increased activity tolerance, engaging in prescribed activity levels with minimal fatigue after two weeks.

Nursing Interventions:

1. Encourage rest periods and assist with pacing activities to prevent excessive fatigue.

2. Gradually increase activity levels as tolerated, using a structured activity plan.

3. Teach energy conservation techniques to optimize physical function.

4. Monitor for signs of increased workload on the cardiovascular system, such as chest pain or dizziness, during activity.

Conclusion

The development of precise nursing diagnoses, SMART outcomes, and targeted interventions are foundational in managing complex conditions like heart failure. These plans facilitate holistic patient care, focusing on symptom relief, preventing deterioration, and promoting self-management skills, ultimately enhancing the quality of care and health outcomes.
