Patient Data Exhibits Click to indicate which client goal is being met by each of the client data. Each column must have at least one response selected.
Explanation & Rationale
• Temperature 98.1°F (36.7°C): Afebrile status indicates that the body is not mounting a febrile response to pathogens, showing infection is being prevented postoperatively. • pH 7.40: Normal pH reflects adequate perfusion and circulation after fluid resuscitation, suggesting hypovolemia has been managed effectively. • Blood pressure 112/77 mm Hg: Stable blood pressure within normal range after fluid bolus demonstrates restoration of circulating volume, consistent with hypovolemia management. • Capillary refill 2 seconds: Normal refill indicates improved tissue perfusion after fluid therapy, confirming adequate correction of hypovolemia. • Pain 0 on a scale of 0 to 10: Absence of reported pain while sedated indicates comfort and relief of anxiety, showing pain control is being achieved. • Surgical dressing dry and intact: A clean, dry surgical site without drainage supports the goal of preventing infection after abdominal trauma surgery. • PaCO2 42 mm Hg: PaCO 2 of 42 mm Hg is within the normal range (35−45 mm Hg) and indicates effective ventilation. This is primarily an ABC or respiratory goal, not directly related to the three listed goals.
