The nurse is caring for a patient who is having a pump placed to deliver intrathecal baclofen and another patient who will receive dantrolene as a muscle relaxant
What nursing diagnosis would be appropriate for both care plans? (Select all that apply.) A) Acute pain related to GI effects of drug
B) Risk for injury related to central nervous system (CNS) effects
C) Disturbed body image related to muscle pain
D) Disturbed thought processes related to CNS effects
E) Deficient knowledge related to procedure
A, B, D
Feedback:
Acute pain related to GI effects of drug, risk for injury related to CNS effects, and disturbed thought processes related to CNS effects all apply to both patients. Disturbed body image may apply to the patient having the pump placed, but this is not related to muscle pain. Only the patient having the pump placed would need information related to the procedure.
