Care Plan for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Category: Neonatal
Assessment
Patient presents with a history of premature birth and chronic lung disease, requiring oxygen therapy.
Diagnosis
Risk for impaired gas exchange related to chronic lung disease and oxygen dependence.
Goals
Patient will maintain adequate oxygenation as evidenced by normal oxygen saturation levels and absence of respiratory distress. Patient's parents will verbalize understanding of the importance of oxygen therapy and monitoring.
Interventions
Monitor oxygen saturation levels and adjust oxygen therapy as needed. Educate parents on the importance of maintaining oxygen therapy and monitoring for signs of respiratory distress. Provide resources for support services and follow-up care with a pediatric pulmonologist. Encourage regular follow-up appointments to monitor lung function and development.
Rationale
These interventions aim to manage symptoms, prevent complications, and support the patient's family in managing the condition.
Evaluation
Patient's oxygenation status and lung function will be monitored to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.
