Develop a standardized care map for two NANDA nursing diagnoses of your choice using ANA recognized terminologies and data element sets.
Overview
Mainly, NANDA is highly essential in nursing care since it is an international professional organization of nurses who focus on standardized nursing terminology. In that regard, many NANDA nursing diagnoses enable nurses to provide primary care to the patient in a uniform manner based on ANA recognized terminologies and data element sets. In this assessment, the two NANDA nursing diagnoses to consider are bowel incontinence and nausea. According to NANDA nursing diagnosis, bowel incontinence or fecal incontinence refers to a person’s inability to control bowel movements, thereby leading to an unexpected leak of stool from the rectum. I have selected bowel incontinence because it affects many people and is interested in making nurses improve the quality of care to patients. On the other hand, nausea refers to a queasy sensation that includes arguing about vomiting. Nausea is caused by gastrointestinal obstruction, mucosal diseases, toxins, chemotherapy, and inhalation of anapestic gases. I have also selected nausea because I am interested in educating nurses on the importance of improving the protective mechanism and elimination of toxic substances that affect body systems.
Importance of developing a standardized care map for all nurses
A standardized care map is essential for all nurses to understand the standardized nursing languages of NOC, NIC, and NANDA. It also allows nurses to identify different nursing diagnosis patterns and implement metacognition skills to integrate responses of the patient to illnesses. Besides, it is essential to develop a standardized care map to improve communication among nurses and other staff in healthcare facilities. A standardized care map also increases the visibility of nursing intervention, thereby improving patient care. More importantly, a standardized care plan improves data collection to allow nurses to evaluate care outcomes that adhere to care standards and other medical assessments.
Bowel Incontinence
Nursing diagnosis
The nursing diagnosis of bowel incontinence is the inability of a person to control bowel movements, thereby leading an unexpected leak of stool from the rectum.
Nursing Classification
Bowel Incontinence is classified through fecal seepage, encopresis, urge incontinence, and passive incontinence.
Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC)
- Ensure the patient consume high-fiber diet through the guidance of a registered dietician
- Ensure the patient high-fluid diet
- Ensure the patient consumes natural bulking agents such as yogurt and banana to thicken stools.
Nursing Outcome Classification System (NOC)
- Improved control of bowel movement because the patient is continent of stool
- Patient evacuate formed and soft stool
- The patient has a regular bowel movement
