Concept Map Template NURS 3073
Student Name:
Client: 69A Age: 52 Room: DOA: Code status: Full Code Allergies: Penicillin
Reason for hospitalization: Sepsis, CNS embolism?
Priority assessments: Neurological, circulatory, skin, respiratory
Significant history: Cervical spinal stenosis, UGIB, polyarthralgia, hypothyroidism, systemic lupus?
Nursing diagnosis: Ineffective cerebral tissue perfusion related to endocarditis secondary to staph/strep
bacteremia from open skin to right foot
Supporting data: cerebral emboli, cytotoxic edema to occipital lobe, CT findings of acute/subacute infarction, culture
negative endocarditis posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), D dimer: 2189 (<=500), altered LOC
Goals: Pt will not display any signs of further deterioration or increased ICP
Interventions:
-Monitor and document neurologic status frequently and compare with baseline. (e.g., GCS)
-Monitor vital signs: Hypertension/hypotension
-Respirations, noting patterns and rhythm;
(e.g., Cheyne-stokes respiration- rhythmic respiration with periods
of apnea and may indicate dysfunction in the cerebral hemisphere or basal ganglia)
-Document changes in vision and pupillary changes
-Assess for nuchal rigidity, twitching, increased restlessness, irritability, onset of seizure activity
-Administer medications as ordered
Outcomes
________________________________________________________________________________________
Nursing diagnosis: Acute pain related to polyarthralgia and ulceration to left foot
Supporting data: polyarthralgia, 5-6 bullae to right foot, ~2.0x1.0cm ulceration to left foot, purpura and ecchymosis to
left foot, order for oxycodone, pt report of “poor pain control to legs”, pt reports of 8/10 pain, systemic lupus?
Goals: Patient describes satisfactory pain control at a level less than 3 to 4 on a rating scale of 0 to 10.
Interventions
-Assess patients pain using pain scale
-Assess for signs and symptoms related to pain
-Administer pain medications as ordered and PRN pain
-Assess patients’ goals for pain relief
Outcomes

Nursing diagnosis: Risk for Infection related to inhibition of antibodies secondary to immunological system
action
Supporting data: sepsis, endocarditis, predisposition to bacteremia (endocarditis), saline lock, nosocomial infection,
suprainfection, ~2.0x1.0cm ulceration to left foot, neuts: 7.30
Goals Patient will be free of infection, afebrile, with no over symptoms of infection or infective process noted.
Interventions
-Monitor temperature q4h
-Monitor for signs and symptoms of deterioration
-Observe for symptoms of suprainfections such as white plaque in mouth and irritation to vagina
- inspect wounds, IV sites, catheter sites, invasive devices and lines, changes in drainage or body fluids
-administer antibiotics as ordered

Medications (Identify all meds. Note meds relevant to priority nursing diagnoses & those required for overall management)
Nicotine 1mg/spray 1spray, q1h, PO, PRN nicotine craving
-Class: smoking deterrents
-provides source of nicotine during withdrawal
Enoxaparin injection 40mg SC q24hr (prophylaxis)
-Class: anticoagulants, antithrombotic, low molecular weight heparin
-Mechanism of action: prevention of thrombus formation, potentiates the inhibitory effect of antithrombin on
factor Xa and thrombin

Oxycodone 5-10mg PO q4h (18,22) PRN Pain (HOME)
-Class: opioid analgesic
-Action: binds to opioid receptors in the CNS
-Onset: 10-15, peak: 60-90, 3-6hr
Side effects: confusion, sedation, constipation
Acetaminophen 975mg PO q6h
-Class: antipyretic, nonopioid analgesic
-Mechanism of action: inhibits synthesis of prostaglandins that serve as mediators of pain and fever
-Indication: mild pain, fever
-Side effects: nausea
-Onset: 0.5-1hr
Oxycodone CR 60mg PO BID
-Class: opioid analgesic
-Action: binds to opioid receptors in the CNS
-Side effects: confusion, sedation, constipation
Zoplicone 15mg PO bedtime, PRN sleep
-Class: sedative, cyclopyrrolones
-Mechanism of action: interacts with GABA-receptor complexes
-Indication: short term management of insomnia
-Side effects: bitter taste
-Onset: rapid
Levothyroxine 75mcg PO daily (HOME)
-Class: thyroid preparations
-Indications: hypothyroidism
-Action: replacement of endogenous thyroid hormones, increase metabolic rate of body tissues
-Side effects: only in excessive doses cause hyperthyroidism
Atenolol 100mg PO daily (HOME)
-Class: beta-blocker
-Action: blocks stimulation of beta1 adrenergic receptors, decreases BP and HR
-Onset:1hr, 2-4hr, 24hr
-Side effects: fatigue, weakness, erectile dysfunction
Pantoprazole sodium EC – 40mg, PO, BID (HOME)
-Class: antiulcer agents, proton pump inhibitors
-Mechanism of action: binds to an enzyme in the presence of acidic gastric pH, preventing the final -
transportation of hydrogen ions in the gastric lumen
-Indication: GERD
-Side effects: headache, hyperglycemia
Hydroxyzine 25mg PO (1700) AND 50mg PO q24hr (HOME)
-Class: antianxiety agent, antihistamine
