PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND PRIORITIZATION
Prioritizing problems based on Maslows Hierarchy of Needs
1. Priority 1: Biological/Physiological needs
a. Altered comfort
b. Activity intolerance
2. Priority 2: Physical/Psychological Safety
a. Risk for unstable blood glucose level
3. Priority 3: Love and Belonging - none
4. Priority 4: Self-esteem needs - none
5. Priority 5: Self-actualization none
Priority List of Problems Justification for Prioritization
a. altered comfort A. It is an actual problem since my patient is complaining of discomfort and episodes of pain. We should prioritize this probl em because if
the patient has discomforts and pain, he or she would not participate or listen to any of the instructions or activities that you ask them to
do.
b. activity intolerance This is an actual compromise in the biological needs of the client. Resolution of this problem will help the patient do ADLs without any
complications and may promote homeostasis to the bodys daily biological functions.
c. risk for unstable blood glucose If your blood sugar remains unbalanced too frequently the body starts to ignore the insulin message, a condition called insulin resistance.
We would not want our patient to have this condition, and because my patient has DM, this would likely to happen.

urinary retention
Urinary retention is the
inability to empty the
bladder. Urinary
retention can be acute or
chronic. Acute urinary
retention is a medical
emergency. People with
acute urinary retention
cannot urinate at all, even
though they have a full
bladder. Acute urinary
retention, a potentially life-
threatening medical
condition, requires
immediate emergency
treatment. Acute urinary
retention can cause great
discomfort or pain.

Altered comfort is
perceived to be lack of
ease, relief and
transcendence in physical,
psychospiritual,
environmental and social
dimensions.

LTO: The client will feel

STO: After 4hours of nursing
interventions, the client will
experience diminished
discomfort as evidenced
by:
a. verbalization of no
discomfort
b. relaxed facial expression
and body positioning
c. increased participation

manage discomforts




DEPENDENT/COLLABORATIVE:
IFC insertion as ordered

Provides a baseline to
measure changes in
discomfort pattern. May
indicate worsening
condition of
nephropathies.

These actions promote
relaxation and
subsequently increase
clients threshold and
tolerance for discomfort.

Rest may alleviate the
discomforts felt by the
patient and help him
restore his energy.

Patient would likely
participate in this because
it is his own way to
manage his discomforts
and he knows that this will
alleviate his discomforts.

Since my patient cannot
void resulting to distended
bladder, it would help
ease the pain and
discomfort by draining the
urine through IFC.
GOAL FULLY MET IF:
Patient will experience
diminished discomfort as
evidenced by:
a. verbalization of no
discomfort
b. relaxed facial expression
and body positioning
c. increased participation

GOAL PARTIALLY MET IF:
Only 2 of the evidences in
the STOs are achieved.

GOAL NOT MET IF:
None or only one of the
evidences in the STOs is
achieved.

ACTUAL EVALUATION:
Goal fully met
