Updated - Prioritization of Problems

1. The document lists five nursing diagnoses for a patient: decreased cardiac output, altered renal perfusion, imbalanced nutrition, risk for impaired skin integrity, and risk for activity intolerance. 2. Decreased cardiac output is prioritized first based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs as circulation is essential for survival. Altered renal perfusion is next as it relates to circulation. 3. Imbalanced nutrition is third as correcting nutrition can be delayed, unlike fluid volume issues. Risk for impaired skin integrity is fourth to prevent worsening issues, and risk for activity intolerance is last as it only occurs if other issues aren't addressed.

A. Prioritization of Problems

a.1. List of Problems


1. DECREASED CARDIAC OUTPUT
2. ALTERED RENAL PERFUSION related to glomerular malfunction
3. IMBALANCED NUTRITION: LESS THAN BODY REQUIREMENTS
4. RISK FOR IMPAIRED SKIN INTEGRITY
5. RISK FOR ACTIVITY INTOLERANCE

a.2. Basis for Prioritization


NURSING DIAGNOSES JUSTIFICATION
1. DECREASED CARDIAC A part of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is airway, breathing,
OUTPUT and circulation (ABC), which are physiological elements
that are needed for the body to survive and help determine
one’s level of health. Decreased cardiac output is the most
priority and needs immediate attention while other diagnosis
can be delayed after this problem will be resolved.

2. ALTERED RENAL When following our ABC in nursing, Altered renal


PERFUSION related to perfusion is the next priority after decreased cardiac output.
glomerular malfunction This Altered renal perfusion is considered in the circulation;
also, it is 2nd priority in the MAAUAR, the impairment of
the urinary elimination. The patient should submit herself
immediately to hemodialysis in order to correct alteration in
renal perfusion.

3. IMBALANCED NUTRITION: This will be considered the next priority after altered renal
LESS THAN BODY perfusion is addressed because correction of the nutrition
REQUIREMENTS can be delayed but fluid volume excess together with
sodium retention and hypertension can be fatal if not
intervene immediately. According to Maslow, Nutrition is
part of the physiologic needs that should be met to survive.
4. RISK FOR IMPAIRED SKIN This is identified as the fourth priority nursing diagnosis
INTEGRITY because this is possible to become an actual problem due to
frequent itchy skin. If not prevented early and not managed
properly, it will lead to more serious problems.
5. RISK FOR ACTIVITY This is identified as the last priority nursing diagnosis
INTOLERANCE because this only occurs if interventions were not done
properly or if there were complication during the course of
treatment. Correction of blood lab levels should be done in
order to prevent anemia causing activity intolerance.
