Nursing Diagnosis: • Acute Pain, R/T myocardial ischemia • Decreased Cardiac Output R/T negative ionotropic changes in the heart 2ndary to myocardial ischemia or injury • Impaired Gas Exchange, R/T decreased cardiac output • Anxiety/Fear R/T hospital admission and fear of death
5 components • Problem – dyspnea, pain, confusion etc • Diagnosis- (Nsg) Ineffective Airway Clearance • Interventions-treatments provided to pt. • Expected Outcomes-how will the patient react to treatments. • Rationale-why are these interventions done?
