Care Plan for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
1. Patient status- Patricia Doyle is clinically sick but does not require emergency department
management because she does not have severe thrombocytopenia or rapid progress of

impairment, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, profound thrombocytopenia and a rapidly progressive
glomerulonephritis (Bartels, 2013).

preserved for severe manifestations of the disease (Ahmadpoor, P.; Dalili, N.; Rostami, 2014).
Mild and moderate forms of SLE get managed by the use of low-potency immunosuppression
agents, NSAIDs or a short course of corticosteroids. Involvement of the vital organs such as the
central nervous system and kidney is considered severe forms of the SLE (Bertsias George et al.,
2012). Therefore, Patricia Doyle is suffering from severe SLE due to the presence of proteinuria,
