Pathophysiological Discussion: Discuss the current disease process at the cellular level (in your own words). Explain why this patient is encountering this particular health deficit. What is the relationship of this current health alteration to the patient’s other medical conditions? Describe the current disease process the patient is encountering etiology, epidemiology, pathophysical mechanism, manifestations and treatment (medical and surgical). Also note the complications that may occur with these treatments and the patient’s overall prognosis. Include appropriate references and use APA format.

ADH II: attach a research article pertaining to diagnosis of patient. Write a summary about the article.

List of nursing diagnoses (NANDA format). Place diagnoses in priority order and provide rationale for priority setting. May only list one nursing diagnosis that is a Risk For diagnosis.

Nursing Diagnosis: Identify the top two nursing Diagnoses and expand

Assessment as evident by (AEB) or data collection relative to the nursing diagnosis (Appropriate for chosen diagnosis. Includes objective & Subjective historical data that support actual or risk for nursing diagnosis) Patient Goal(s)
Statement of purpose for the patient to achieve Patient Outcome (Should be measurable, attainable, realistic and timed, all criteria should be present and specific to the patient Dx.)
(Must have at least two short term outcomes and two long term outcomes)
Interventions/Implementations (Must have at least four nursing interventions for each outcome written that directly relate to the patient’s goal statement and help to reach the patient outcomes. They should be specific in action, frequency, and contain a rationale. Evaluation. (Was the outcome met, partially met or not met and why? And is the plan of care revised or continued and new evaluation date/time is set)
