Used to smoke 2\/3 ppd but quit years ago, and used to drink a pint of ETOH per day, but quit after a stroke (unknown date \u2013 data gap). Post stroke hx of heroin and cocaine abuse. Pt has a brother and sister who help him, but lives in a nursing home for the past few years. His mother recently died of a heart attack and father\u2019s health is unknown. Brothers also have DM2.

Often times with severe infection patients will experience fever, though this is not the case for WW, though many older patients may have a decreased core body temperature as their baseline (Mattson Porth, 2004).<\/p>\n<p>Other Assessments<\/p>\n<p>Neuro &amp; Sensory<br \/>\nPatient is A &amp; O x 3. Pt. verbal and follows commands with encouragement. PERRLA. No sz or agitation, apparent discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>Skin<br \/>\nDry, warm. Mucus membranes moist. Good skin mobility and turgor. Edema in left hand due to IV infiltration. Assessing the level of consciousness (LOC) continuously can give you insight into the acuity of an infection, because often the first sign of worsening infection is an alteration in LOC (Smeltzer, Bare, Hinkle, &amp; Cheever, 2008). It is important to continually monitor WW\u2019s LOC due to his risk of worsening infection.<br \/>\nFurthermore, pain medication can alter LOC, so it is important to assess baseline before medication administration (Aschenbrenner &amp; Venable, 2009). WW is currently taking 1-2 mg of Dilaudid every 3 hours PRN and 650 mg of Percocet every 6 hours PRN for pain, so it is important to assess LOC before and after medication administration.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTyj99p60XCLyLk1htB7-1neRt8-2QdnenNlQ&usqp=CAU\"target=\"_http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"\/><\/center><p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Identify and correctly formulates the highest priority nursing diagnosis.
