a. Reassure the patient that these feelings are common for parents. 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i

actions may be appropriate, but more assessment is needed before the best intervention can be

5. A patient who is paralyzed on the left side of the body after a stroke develops a pressure ulcer
2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i
on the left hip. Which nursing diagnosis is most appropriate?
2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i
a. Impaired physical mobility related to left-sided paralysis 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i
b. Risk for impaired tissue integrity related to left-sided weakness
2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i
c. Impaired skin integrity related to altered circulation and pressure 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i
d. Ineffective tissue perfusion related to inability to move independently 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i
ANS: C 2i
The patient‘s major problem is the impaired skin integrity as demonstrated by the presence of
2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2
a pressure ulcer. The nurse is able to treat the cause of altered circulation and pressure by freq
i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i
uently repositioning the patient. Although left-
2i 2i 2i 2i 2i
sided weakness is a problem for the patient, the nurse cannot treat the weakness. The ―risk for‖
2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i
diagnosis is not appropriate for this patient, who already has impaired tissue integrity. The pat
2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i
ient does have ineffective tissue perfusion, but the impaired skin integrity diagnosis indicates
2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i 2i
more clearly what the health problem is.
