Question
Before beginning, make sure you complete the assigned readings identified on the Readings and Materials page,
including the QSEN web site competencies. Read Millie's story and listen to the audio monologue then complete
nursing plan of care as listed below. See the rubric, which the scoring will be based upon.
Millie Larsen Update
Utilize Millie Larsen Case Study to develop a nursing plan of care that
includes assessment information to formulate an ACTUAL priority patient
problem for Millie with at least one goal using SMART Language (specific,
measurable, attainable, realistic & timely). Then critically think about which
nursing interventions would be appropriate to reach your chosen
goal/outcome. The nursing interventions need to include an assessment, a
physical intervention that the nurse would do, and a patient education or
teaching intervention. You will then evaluate at the end by addressing what
and how you would measure if you were able to meet your goal/outcome
or would need to revise the plan of care. You will need to give some supporting evidence that you would see if the
goal was met.
Utilize the attached Module 7 Nursing Care Plan Form to complete all aspects of the nursing process for the nursing
diagnosis that you chose to develop for Millie. You can see the grading Rubric for Module 7 Nursing Care Plan Form
here to assist you. Your Ladwig resource will help you identify specific NANDA-I diagnoses that might apply to Millie
Larsen.

Millie has been hospitalized for several days now and has developed a fever of 102 F
with some productive coughing and difficulty breathing. She is also complaining of some
pleuritic chest pain when she tries to take a deep breath. Her respiratory rate has
increased to 26 breaths per minute, and her heart rate is 60, blood pressure is 98/66
mm Hg, O2 saturation is 90% on 6 L/min oxygen via nasal cannula. When the nurse
assessed Millie's lung sounds, she heard rhonchi and scattered crackles. A chest X-ray
was obtained, and Millie is diagnosed with hospital-acquired pneumonia. A complete
blood count was drawn, and the results show that Millie's white blood cell count is
22,000.
New orders have been obtained from the provider, and Millie is to be transferred to a
Special Care Unit (SCU) to monitor her condition more closely.
New orders include:
Obtain sputum specimen and blood cultures.
Oxygen at 6-8 Liters high flow nasal cannula to keep 02 sat at or above 92%
Normal saline intravenous solution at 100 mL/hr
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) 400 mg intravenous mini bag every 12 hours
Acetaminophen 650 mg oral every 6 hours prn for fever greater than 101F
Tramadol hydrochloride 50mg (oral) every 4-6 hours PRN for pain
Albuterol respiratory nebulizer treatments q 4 hours and prn
Respiratory monitoring per acute protocol
Millie still has a Foley catheter in place, and her urinary tract infection has resolved, but
the provider still wants to strictly monitor her intake and output. Millie is lethargic and
appears very ill and still is not eating well or taking in oral fluids as the provider would
like. Her intake has only been 300 mL IV fluids, 50 mL oral intake plus sips, and output
of 200 mL clear yellow urine./n
