Care Plan for Aplastic Anemia
Category: Hematology
Assessment
Patient presents with fatigue, pallor, and frequent infections.
Diagnosis
Risk for infection related to decreased white blood cell production.
Goals
Patient will remain free from infection as evidenced by normal white blood cell counts and absence of fever. Patient will verbalize understanding of infection prevention measures.
Interventions
Monitor complete blood count (CBC) regularly. Educate patient on hand hygiene and avoiding exposure to infectious agents. Administer prescribed immunosuppressive therapy and monitor for side effects. Encourage a balanced diet to support overall health.
Rationale
These interventions aim to prevent infections, manage symptoms, and support the patient's immune system.
Evaluation
Patient's infection status and white blood cell counts will be monitored to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.
