    Hello there,

    Im not a nursing student. You could do this though,

    Careplan,

    Pain R/T
    Education R/T
    SOB R/T

    For non-critical care.

    Hope this helps.

    you can check out NANDA online for some ideas
    First I would put
    1. alteration in cardiac output
    2. alteration in comfort: pain
    3. then something else related to the patient. perhaps non compliance, alter in nutrition or any number r/t the patient

    Please look this up yourself and do your own homework! You are going to be responsible for real people with this and other illnesses. I see medical people asking all the time on here for help cheating on their homework and it really scares me!

    Think of what this illness does to the body and understand what help your patient will need!
