 NURSING CARE PLAN
for Acute Pain
PLANNING
Short term goal:
After 4 hours of nursing intervention the patient will
report relief of pain

Long term goal:

After 2 days of nursing intervention, the patient will
demonstrate use of relaxation techniques and
divertional activities as indication for individual
situation
 NURSING CARE PLAN
for Acute Pain
INTERVENTION
Independent:
• Establish rapport
• Assess patient’s condition
• Monitored vital sign
• Perform comprehensive
assessment of pain
• Assess respiration, BP and
heart rate with each episode of
chest pain
• Observe nonverbal cues
RATIONALE
• To gain trust and cooperation
• To determine sign and
symptoms
• To served as base line data
• To determine precipitating
factors
• Respiratory may be increased
as a result of pain and associate
anxiety
• Observations may/ may not be
congruent with verbal reports
indicating need for further
evaluation

Decreased Cardiac Output
 NURSING CARE PLAN
for Decreased Cardiac Output
ASSESSMENT NURSING DIAGNOSIS
Subjective: Decreased cardiac output related
“ gihangak man ko” as verbalized to altered stroke volume
by the patient

Objective:
Shortness of breath
Fatigue
With oxygen hooked via nasal
cannula at 2 LPM
With cardiac dysrhythmias on
ECG
Pallor
Prolong capillary refill
 NURSING CARE PLAN
for Decreased Cardiac Output
PLANNING
Short term goal:
After 4 hours of nursing intervention the patient will
participate in activities that decrease the workload of
the heart such as stress management or therapeutic
medication regimen program

Long term goal:

After 4 days of nursing intervention, the patient will
display hemodynamic stability with normalization of
ECG tracings and blood pressure readings
 NURSING CARE PLAN
for Decreased Cardiac Output
INTERVENTION
Independent:
• Establish rapport
• Assess patient’s condition
• Monitored vital sign
• Monitor ECG for
dysrhythmias, conduction
defects and for heart rate
• Monitor cardiac rhythms
continuously
RATIONALE
• To gain trust and
cooperation
• To determine sign and
symptoms
• To served as base line data
• Decrease in cardiac output
may result in changes in
cardiac perfusion causing
dysrhythmias
• To note for effectiveness of
medicines

INTERVENTION RATIONALE
Independent:
• Encourage to decreased intake • Caffeine is a cardiac stimulant
of caffeine, cola and chocolates and may adversely affect
cardiac function
• Observe skin color, • Peripheral vasoconstriction
temperature, capillary refill may result in pale, cool,
time and diaphoresis clammy skin, with prolonged
capillary refill time due to
cardiac dysfunction and
decreased cardiac output
• Monitor intake and output and • To maintain adequate
calculate 24 hour fluid balance nutrition and fluid balance
 NURSING CARE PLAN
for Decreased Cardiac Output
INTERVENTION
Independent:
Instruct client & family on
fluid and diet requirements
and restrictions of sodium
Dependent:
• Administer supplemental
oxygen as ordered
• Administer medicines as
prescribed by the physician
RATIONALE
• Restrictions can assist with
decrease in fluid retention,
thereby improving cardiac
output
• To provide for adequate
oxygenation
• To promote wellness

dyspnea oxygen supply and consumption
as evidenced by shortness of
Objective: breath upon exertion
BP = 165/84, HR= 125, RR=28
Fatigue
With oxygen hooked via nasal
cannula at 2 LPM
Ischemic ECG changes
Pallor
Cyanosis
Need for assistance upon
movement
 NURSING CARE PLAN
for Activity Intolerance
PLANNING
Short term goal:
After 4 hours of nursing intervention the patient will
use identified techniques to increase activity tolerance

Long term goal:

After 4 days of nursing intervention, the patient will be
able to increase and achieve desired activity level,
progressively, with no intolerance symptoms noted,
such as respiratory compromise
 NURSING CARE PLAN
for Activity Intolerance
INTERVENTION
• Establish rapport
• Assess patient’s condition
• Monitored vital sign
• Identify causative factors
leading to intolerance of
activity
RATIONALE
• To gain trust and
cooperation
• To determine sign and
symptoms
• Changes in V/S assist with
monitoring physiologic
responses to increase in
activity
• Alleviation of factors that are
known to create intolerance
can assist with development
of an activity level program
