I had a patient with hyperglycemia whose blood sugar level increased considerably. He also had 1+ edema and was a dialysis patient. The patient used to have his insulin pump, but he was unable to manage it. I assessed all his vital signs to make sure no other health issues were present. All the vital signs were stable, so we focused on controlling his blood sugar level. At the time of assessment, his blood sugar was back to normal, but we conducted testing to ensure that no increase would occur. The proper monitoring of blood sugar and patient education has a positive effect on patient outcomes as it ensures the prevention of severe health conditions. Since no health issues were identified, the intervention mainly involved the patient’s training as to managing his insulin pump as well as controlling his sugar blood levels.
Reflect on one patient you cared for. What assessment did you perform, what were your findings? Describe the trends of the patient’s vitals, labs, and assessments during the shift. What interventions did you perform based on your evaluation? Support your intervention with scholarly evidence.
