Developmental Tasks

Description

Passed or Failed

1. Adjusting to decreasing physical strength and health

Older adults also have to adjust to decreasing physical strength and health. The prevalence of chronic and acute diseases increase in old age. Thus, older adults may be confronted with life situations that are characterized by not being in perfect health,serious illness and dependency on people.

Passed

2. Adjusting to retirement and reduced income

A central developmental task that characterized the transition into old age is adjustment to retirement. The period after retirement has to be filled with new projects, but is characterized by few valid cultural guidelines. The achievement of this task may be obstructed by the management of another task, living in a reduced income after retirement.

Passed

3. Adjusting to death Older adults may of a spouse become caregivers to their spouses. Some older adults have to adjust to the death of their spouses. After they have lived with a spouse for many decades, widowhood

may force older people to adjust to loneliness, moving to a smaller place,and learning about business matters. 4. Establishing an The development of a explicit affiliation large part of the with one's aged group population into old age is historically recent phenomenon to modern cities. Thus, advancements understanding of the aging process may lead to identifying further developmental tasks associated with gains and purposeful lives for adults.

Passed

5. Meeting social and Older people might civil obligations accumulate knowledge about life, and thus may contribute to the development of younger people and the society.

Passed

6. Establishing satisfactory physical living arrangements

Passed

Oder adults are generally challenged to create positive sense of their lives as a whole. The feeling that life has order and meaning results in happiness.

Eric Erikson’s Developmental Task Integrity vs. Despair 7

Erikson felt that much of life is preparing for the middle adulthood stage and the last stage recovering from it. Perhaps that is because as older adults we can often look back on our lives with happiness and are contented, feeling fulfilled with a deep sense that life has meaning and we've made contribution to life, a feeling Erikson called integrity. On the other hand, some adults may reach this stage and despair at their experiences and perceived failure. My patient achieved happiness and contentment in his life based on his actions and speeches. He is faithful and devoted to his religion. He is ready to accept death completely and he has shared his experiences to his beloved grandchildren. Even though he accepted death fully but his faith and love for his worshipped God never changed.

3) DEFINATION, CAUSE AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF CLIENTS DISEASES. Definition: Chronic kidney disease (CKD), also known as chronic renal disease, is a progressive loss of renal function over a period of months or years in which the body’s ability to maintain metabolic and fluid and electrolyte balance fails, resulting in uremia or azotemia. In this condition, the GFR falls below 10% of the normal rate.

Predisposing Factors Genetics  Heredity Age >40

Causes:

 Glomerular dysfunction  Diabetic nephropathy Decrease insulin  Hypertension Precipitating production/sensitivity  Glomerulonephritis Environment(intrapartal)  Polycystic kidney disease Toxin/Virus  Urinary tract obstruction Obesity  Bladder Decrease Serumtumour Potasium  Urethral obstruction  Hypertensive nephrosclerosis (hardening of the kidney) Elevated Serum Increased Osmolarity due to Glucose

Glucose

Other causes:  Hiv infection  Kidney stones  Chronic kidney infections and certain cancers  Regular use of anti – inflammatory drugs  Vesicoureteral reflux ( a urinary tract problem in which urine travels the wrong way back Chronic elevation of towards kidney) Polydipsia

C) COMPARISON OF MEDICAL MANAGEMENT The goal of management is to maintain kidney function and homeostasis for as long as possible. Because of the great deterioration of renal function, the duration of management may vary from months to years. Nothing can be done to prevent or delay the fatal outcome. ACCORDING TO BOOK  Control of urinary volume: fluids

ACCORDING TO PATIENT  My patient was prescribed to drink 16

are forced since kidney has lessened ability to concentrate solids. more fluids about 2litres is needed to excrete waste. Sometimes frusemide may be required to increase urine production.  Control of nausea and vomiting: anorexia, nausea and vomiting tend to develop when the cretinine clearance falls below 5ml/min. so reduction in protein is required to improve nausea. Blood: 0.8-1.4 mg/dL is the normal. Due to impaired kidney function, creatinine in the blood elevates.  Antiseizure agents  Antihypertensive agents: hypertension is managed by intravascular volume control and a variety of anti- hypertensive agents.  Control of hyperkalaemia will be treated with I/V glucose and insulin in a ratio of 3 gm Glucose to 1 unit soluble insulin.  Control of anemia: blood transfusion are frequently required.  Accurate record of input and output chart should be maintained

 Other therapy: dialysis It is usually initiated when the patient cannot maintain a

lee than 500 ml water in a day.Tab lasix 40 mg, po, od, is given to my patient.

 Creatinine clearance rate was 10.g mg/dl on 4/2, 8.5 mg/dl on 068/4/6, 9.7mg/dl on 068/4/9.

 Since my patient didn’t develop any kind of seizure. So antiseizure agents were not used.  Tab nifedipine 10 mg,tds was given to my patient to control hypertension. 

 Since my patient didn’t develop anemia so bllod transfusion was not done.  Input and output chart was maintained.  4/6 : 200ml total input and 200ml was total output  4/7: 350ml was total input and 250 mi was total output  4/8: 500ml total input and 350ml total output  4/9: 530ml was total intake and 150 ml was total output  4/10: 450ml total input and 300ml total output  4/11: 400 ml total input and 300 ml total output  My patient is undergoing regular dialysis, 2-3 times in a week

17

reasonable lifestyle with conservative treatment.

COMPARISON OF SURGICAL MANAGEMENT ACCORDING TO BOOK  Kidney transplantation: it involves transplanting a kidney from a living donor to a recipient who has ESRD. The success rate increases if kidney transplantation from a living donor is performed before dialysis is initiated.

ACCORDING TO PATIENT  Kidney transplantation cannot be performed in my patient because of hypertension and slow wound healing due to diabetes mellitus.

D) COMPARISON OF NURSING MANAGE MENT The patient with chronic renal failure requires astute nursing care to avoid the complications of reduced renal failure and the stresses and anxieties of dealing with a life threatening illness. ACCORDING TO BOOK  Nursing care is directed toward assessing

ACCORDING TO PATIENT As a nurse I assessed the fluid status of my patient 18

fluid status and identifying potential source of imbalance  Implement a dietary program to ensure proper nutritional intake within the limits of the treatment regimen.  Promote positive feelings by encouraging increased self care  Provide explanations and information to the patient and family concerning ESRD, treatment options and potential complications  Nurse must be familiar with various drugs and their side effects  Provide emotional support to the patient and his family because of the numerous changes experienced.

by monitoring input and output record closely. My patient was prescribed to have fluid less than 500ml/day and was on renal diet. As a nurse I closely observe the dietary pattern of my patient I encouraged my patient to perform his activity of daily living by himself and promoted the positive feelings. As a nurse I provided explanation to the patient and his family members about his treatment options and potential complications. As a nurse I provided information to my patient regarding various drugs used in it. I provided my patient and his family emotional support so that anxiety and tension is relieved to some extent.

5) DRUGS CARD OF MEDICINES My patient has used the following drug: Tab nifedipine 10mg, tds  Tab lasix 40mg, od  Tab pantop 40 mg  Diclofenac gel 19

5. Domperidone

Motilium (1 tab, 100 mg) Classification:

Anti-emetic

and

anti-vertigo

Mode of Action: Domperidone is a dopamine-receptor blocking agent. Its action on the dopaminereceptors in the chemo-emetic trigger zone produces an anti-emetic effect. Interactions: 

Concomitant administration of anti-cholinergic drugs may inhibit the anti-dyspeptic effects of MOTILIUM.



Anti-muscarinic agents and opioid analgesics may antagonize the effect of MOTILIUM



MOTILIUM suppresses the peripheral effects (digestive disorders, nausea and vomiting) of dopaminergic agonists.



Since MOTILIUM has gastro-kinetic effects, it could influence the absorption of concomitant orally administered medicines, particularly those with sustained release or enteric coated formulations.



As MOTILIUM interferes with serum prolactin levels, it may interfere with other hypoprolactinaemic agents and with some diagnostic tests.



Antacids and anti-secretory agents lower the oral bioavailability of domperidone. They should be taken after meals and not before meals, i.e. they should not be taken simultaneously with MOTILIUM.

22



Reduced

gastric

acidity

impairs

the

absorption

of

domperidone.

Oral bioavailability is decreased by prior administration of cimetidine or sodium bicarbonate Side Effects: 

Allergic reactions, such as rash or urticaria, have been reported.



Abdominal cramps have been reported.



Reversible raised serum prolactin levels have been observed which may lead to gynaecomastia.



Where the blood brain barrier is not fully developed (mainly in young babies) or is impaired, the possible occurrence of neurological side-effects cannot be totally excluded

Nursing Responsibilities: 1. Assess for extra-pyramidal effects such as jerking and tongue protrusion. 2. Check for hypotension.

6. Haloperidol

Therapeutic class: antipsychotic Action: an antipsychotics agent that competitively block postsynaptic dopamine receptors Therapeutic effect: produces tranquilizing effect Indication: treatment of psychotic disorders Contra indication: CNS depression, hepatic disease Side effects: blured vision, constipation, dry mouth, peripheral edema, difficulty urinating, decreased thirst, dizziness, drowsiness Nursing consideration: 

take with food or milk



donot mix liquid formulation with coffee or tea

7) DIVERSIONAL THERAPY USED FOR CLIENT Diversional therapies are used to divert one’s thoughts from life stresses or to fill time. I have used the following aspects of diversional therapy to overcome his situation. 

Physical therapy: deep breathing and coughing exercise was encouraged to perform. Proper position of the patient was maintained so that she can feel relaxed and comfortable.

27

 Group therapy: I gave many examples of other people having the same disease condition and also introduced him with some of them so that he can realize that many others have and share problems which are very similar to their own problems and that they are not alone in their suffering.  Relaxation training: I encouraged my patient for performing yoga and meditation as relaxation produces physiological effect that are opposite to those anxiety, that is slow heart rate, increased peripheral blood flow.  Psychological therapy: I encourage my patient to express his feelings and attitude, and communicate with the care takers as well as the family members. Because of this his psychological depression can be reduced and he feels better. 

Medicine therapy: I provided his medicine to relieve his pain and for his better recovery.



Recreational therapy: according to this therapy, I encouraged my patient to listen songs of his choice. I also encouraged him to sing songs as he loves to listen and sing old melody filmy songs songs. Beside these I also encouraged my patient to read magazines, newspaper, listen radio, etc. so that it would help patient diverse his mind away from his anxiety and depression.

APPLICATION OF NURSING THEORIES Virginia Henderson’s Independent Theory: In 1955, Henderson formulated unique function of nursing, she purposed 14 components of Basic nursing care. The components are as follows:  Breathe normally.  Eat and drink adequately  Eliminate body wastes  Move and maintain desirable postures. 28

WHAT I LEARNED FROM THIS CASE STUDY:Case study is the comprehensive study of one selected patient and comparative study with books. During my case study, I learned the following things. i. About the disease:I got opportunity to read and gain comprehensive knowledge through various books, literatures, teachers, doctors, ward staffs, colleagues and via. Secondary internet. I also obtained a comprehensive knowledge on the disease its treatment and management. ii. About the patient:My patient was a open book to learn for me, as I got an opportunity in learning through involving patients care, treatment, diversional therapy and teaching not only from patient but also from his family member. I learned personal quality of patient and use the information in treating her. I also taught the families, socio cultural, economical, religious and traditional beliefs of the patient which influence her health. iii. About nursing care:I applied holistic approach while giving nursing care to the patient. I followed the theorie of Henderson in providing nursing care and I gained more knowledge and skill. iv. About documentation.

12) CONCLUSIONS AND SUMMARY OF CASE STUDY My patient name is mr. laxman pandit , 68yrs old, male with the diagnosis of Chronic kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease (CKD), also known as chronic renal disease, is a progressive loss of renal function over a period of months or years          

Heredity Glomerular dysfunction Diabetic nephropathy Hypertension Glomerulonephritis Polycystic kidney disease Urinary tract obstruction Bladder tumour Urethral obstruction Hypertensive nephrosclerosis (hardening of the kidney) are some of the causes of chronic kidney disease The clinical features of ESRD are: weakness and fatigue, confusion, seizures, burning soles of feet, thin, brittle nails, hypertension,periorbital oedema,etc

It can be investigate through laboratory test such as cbc, urinalysis, blood urea ,ultrasonography, kub film etc. During my case study, I provided health education, applied different diversional measures, treatment, investigation, diet, personnel hygiene etc. I feel great pleasure whenever patient and his family get treatment satisfaction and getting better. His general condition was improved so he was discharged. 41
