Patient Introduction

Home>Homework Answsers>Nursing homework helpPlease Complete the Attached Daily Holistic Assessment Tool (DHAT) form using the patient profile below:-Report from day shift nurse:Situation: Christopher Parrish is an 18-year-old male who was admitted at 1900 today. His mother visited him at his college dormitory and was very concerned with his health; he seemed weak and had lost weight since she last saw him. She took him to see his primary care provider, and the provider admitted him and has ordered a tube feeding. I placed an 8-Fr, 42-inch feeding tube in his right nares about an hour ago, and x-ray just called and confirmed placement in the stomach. The pump is in his room. He is up to the bathroom prn; otherwise bed rest.Background: Christopher was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as a child and has had frequent hospitalizations previously. He reports fatigue and has recently lost 6 kg (13.2 lb) after he registered at the local college and moved to live in a dormitory. Chris’s mom was here earlier, but she is a single parent and has two younger boys, so she had to go home.Assessment: Christopher is awake and alert. His heart rate and rhythm are regular at 80-85/min. Breath sounds are fine with a respiratory rate at 18/min. His color is a bit pale. Blood pressure is 118/78 mm Hg. He reports no pain and states he’s not had much appetite the past few weeks. His belly is flat and nontender. Bowel sounds are normoactive.Recommendation: Christopher is due for vital signs and assessment. The tube feeding just arrived, and you will need to start it on the pump. He needs 720 kilocalories over 8 hours overnight. His regular diet is high calorie, high fat, but he wasn’t too hungry this evening; just had a bit of his chocolate shake. You will need to give his pancreatic enzymes orally before you start the tube feeding. You should also assess his diet and reinforce patient education on nutrition.LocationMedical-SurgicalUnit2315.pdf5 years ago31.07.20206Report issueAnswer(0)Bids(85)Amanda SmithDr. Alitzel_JoeProf James KelvinNightingaleQueen of BrainsTutor Cyrus KenSplendid TutorMiss_AqsaUrgent TutorKelly JacobsMichelle GeekElprofessoriEARNESTWRITERbrilliant answersAgher EditorYourstarDr shamille Claraprof bradleymichael smithRanchoddas Chanchad PhDShow All Bidsother Questions(10)DB Reply – Brilliant AnswersEnglish Homeworkmanagement information systemApplications of the Normal DistributionChoose any existing company of your choice operating in Singapore.
