Analysis of findings
Correlate your findings and research to individualize the information that answers the following questions: What specifically is the patient's medical diagnosis? Indicated WHY this patient has this condition and include signs and symptoms manifested by client that prompted admission to hospital? What abnormalities did you find in your physical assessment that correlate with the medical diagnosis? How do the patient's labs and/or imaging tests relate to their medical condition? And how are they trending? What medications are being used to treat the current medical diagnosis and how do the actions of these medications correlate to the pathophysiology? What medications is the patient on for any pre-existing medical problems? How do these medications work for this patient? What risk factors-lifestyle or pre-existing (co-morbidities) contribute to their current condition? What is their medical treatment plan and what is their discharge plan? What is the nurse's role with this plan?
