Prior to initiating infusion therapy for a client, which of the following nursing diagnoses would the nurse most likely incorporate into the plan of care? Select all that apply
1. Fluid-Volume Deficit
2. Risk for Infection
3. Alteration in Comfort
4. Impaired Gas Exchange
5. Ineffective Individual Coping
Correct
1. Fluid-Volume Deficit
2. Risk for Infection
Rationale:
Fluid-Volume Deficit. Infusion therapy will directly reflect the client's fluid volume and electrolyte status. Risk for Infection. There are inherent risks associated with the invasive nature of infusion therapy. Knowledge of infection control principles is essential for minimizing and preventing complications from infection. Alteration in Comfort. There is often minimal short-term discomfort to the client during insertion of the device for infusion therapy. Impaired Gas Exchange. This does not reflect the purpose of infusion therapy and reflects the respiratory status of the client. Ineffective Individual Coping. The client's coping does not reflect the reason that the client needs infusion therapy.
