You are a nurse preparing to receive a new patient, fresh from surgery, to your unit. The patient is a 71-year-old man who underwent a surgical repair of a fractured femur. As you receive a report from the post-anesthesia recovery unit, you learn that his medical history includes hypertension, 40 pack-years of smoking, and COPD. His surgical repair was successful but complicated by excessive bleeding, and he is receiving IV fluids to compensate. He is widowed, and his three children are scattered throughout the United States. He lives alone, receives Meals on Wheels, and pays a cleaning service to keep his home clean. What data in this scenario are pertinent? What potential collaborative problem(s) could be applicable in this situation? Which nursing diagnoses would you expect to be applicable regarding the medical procedures in this situation? Which nursing diagnoses would you expect to be applicable regarding the nursing/medical history in this situation? Which nursing diagnoses would you expect to be applicable regarding the discharge planning in this situation?
