Discharge Plan

Name of the Patient (Initial): J.H Date Admitted: July 19, 2013
Age: 34 years old Date of discharged:
Sex: Female Diagnosis: Electrolyte Imbalance


I. MEDICATION/S:
Diuretics
II. DIET
Encouraged the patient to:

1. Eat potassium-rich foods. Eat a baked potato or grab a medium banana for
an immediate boost. Pack up some prunes or raisins and take them with you
to the gym or to work. Most people don't get the recommended daily
allowance of potassium--2,000 mg. Adding potassium to your diet not only
helps to restore electrolyte imbalance, but it may also give you more energy
throughout the day.
2. Eat calcium-rich whole foods like kale, broccoli, pinto beans and wild salmon.
Go for a serving of traditional calcium-rich foods like milk, yogurt and cottage
cheese--pick lower fat options to ensure you maintain a healthy weight. Aim
for between 800 and 1200 mg of calcium per day.
3. Consume wheat germ and brown rice to ensure you're getting the proper
balance of magnesium in your diet. Cut up some avocado and add it to a
spinach salad, and you've got a magnesium-rich meal. Magnesium works
with calcium to help bones and muscles function properly, and this element
is often depleted during excessive exercise, during pregnancy and by people
on high protein diets. Aim for 300 to 400 mg of magnesium to maintain
healthy electrolyte levels.
4. Add sodium to your diet sparingly--most Americans exceed the
recommended daily allowance (no more than 3,000 mg) by as much as 2,000
mg daily. Eat foods like celery, beets and leafy vegetable to restore proper
electrolyte balance in a healthy way. Increase sodium intake after strenuous
exercise in hot weather if you feel weak, you cramp up or you have an
excessively dry mouth.


III. TREATMENT/S
1. Take medication prescribed by your doctor daily.
2. Encouraged the patient to increase fluid intake at least 8-10 fresh water
daily or rehydration.

4. Instructed patient to monitor fluid intake by measuring her intake, output
and body weight and report for weight gain.
5. Instruct client to immediately report any severe shortness of breath, frothy
sputum, profound fatigue, edema in extremities, potential signs of heart failure,
or pulmonary edema.
6. Avoid excessive heat, which contributes to fluid loss through perspiration.
