Care Plan for Hemodialysis Care
Category: Renal/Urological
Assessment
Patient presents with chronic kidney disease requiring hemodialysis, fatigue, and fluid retention.
Diagnosis
Risk for fluid volume excess related to impaired renal function.
Goals
Patient will maintain normal fluid balance and be free from signs of fluid overload. Patient will verbalize understanding of hemodialysis regimen and dietary restrictions.
Interventions
Monitor fluid intake and output, and assess for signs of fluid overload. Administer prescribed medications to manage symptoms and monitor electrolyte levels. Educate patient on fluid and dietary restrictions, including limiting sodium, potassium, and phosphorus intake. Encourage patient to adhere to hemodialysis schedule and attend regular follow-up appointments.
Rationale
These interventions help manage fluid balance, prevent complications, and support patient understanding of hemodialysis care.
Evaluation
Patient's fluid balance, electrolyte levels, and understanding of management strategies will be monitored to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.
