There have to be some corrections on the concept map. I’ve attached a file with the feedback from the instructor. Feel free to create a completely new nursing diagnosis (3 part according to NANDA). He is some information about the patient from my concept map.
Pt: Kevin Smith, 66 year old Caucasian male. Retired, lives at home with wife, grown children and grandchildren all live close by. Has a stable income with pension, insurance offers good coverage.
Allergies: seasonal allergic rhinitis, takes claratin OTC when flares
Diagnosis: Hyperlipidemia, diagnosed at age 55. Take atorvastatin 20mg PO daily and also adjusted his diet (lower fat, lower salt, less processed foods and more fruits and vegetables, gave up pop and drinks more water). Was overweight/near obese but has lost weight since diet/lifestyle changes. When he worked, he had a desk job and would walk at lunch but no other exercise. His numbers were high last year so the doctor added fenofibrate 200mg PO daily.
When diagnosed, he was at the doctor for a routine physical and blood work and was told his levels were high and started on medication.
He had a check up over the summer and reports that his cholesterol levels were stable but doesn’t have the results because he doesn’t know how to work the online chart from his doctor.
