• Surgical Pathophysiology: Video thoracoscopy is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia.
Patients have basic anesthetic monitoring including arterial pressure, electrocardiogram, continuous
transcutaneous oxymetry, and end-tidal carbon dioxide tension. To ensure maximal exposure, a double-lumen
endotracheal tube is used. After intubation, patients are placed in the appropriate lateral decubitus position.
Videothoracoscopic procedures are performed with trocars or ports and usually require three 1- to 2-cm
intercostal incisions. When possible, the sites of previously placed chest tube thoracostomies are used.

Problem No. 3: Acute Pain r/t fluid accumulation in the pleural space and chest trauma, and r/t tissue
damage, 2º to surgical incision aeb verbalization of discomfort
General Goal: Reduce Pain

should be modified: The goal was partially met. The known and expected pains in his chest due to
fractured ribs, the presence of the chest tubes, and the hydropneumothorax were well controlled by
medications, proper breathing, positioning, etc. But the newly reported leg pain remained uncontrolled

warmth, or discharge at the surgical or chest tube sites, and core temperature < 99C on the day of care.

1. The patient will report pain intensity: 0= no pain, 1-3= mild pain, 4-6= moderate Priority #’s
pain, 7-9= severe pain, 10= worst pain imaginable, and set goal level at 3/10 or
better, aeb verbalization of understanding of scale and goal rating by end of first 1
rounding after arrival.
2. The patient will report that pain management regimes relieve pain AEB report of 1
pain maintained at 3/10 or less by the end of shift.
3. The patient will exhibit reduced dizziness aeb report of reduced dizziness and 2
steadier gait on day of care
4. The patient will remain free from injury aeb no falls or other movement related 2
injury to self by end of shift
5. The patient will exhibit knowledge of symptoms of infection of which to be aware 3
aeb verbalizing those symptoms, including increase / spread of pain, fever or chills,
excessive sweating, nausea.
6. The patient will remain free from additional signs and symptoms of infection 3
(other than abd. pain and dizziness) aeb core temp <99F, LOC intact, no
diaphoresis, and no nausea by end of shift
General Nursing Interventions:
1. Explain pain scale (as above) to patient and elicit verbal understanding of the 1
scale from the patient upon admission to ED. (E, I – No delegation)
2. Assess pain level, type, and location immediately upon arrival and q30M (A, I, 1
EOC – No delegation)
3. Provide pain medication as ordered, prn (T, D – No delegation (narcotic)) 1
4. Assess level of dizziness – more or less than upon admission – more or less 2
upon laying down / sitting upright – more or less upon movement, immediately upon
admission and q30M. (A, I, EOC) – No delegation)
5. Use two side rails to prevent accidental fall from bed, escort pt to bathroom or for 2
any necessary ambulation (possibly with wheelchair) prn throughout shift. (T, I – can
be delegated
6. Provide call light and verify patient’s understanding that she should inform us if 2
she needs anything, to ensure compliance with bed rest, upon admission and with
each rounding q30M – (T, I, can be delegated)
7. Start IV NS Wide Open as per standing order 3
8. Assess for S&S of infection (as above #5), core temp, and LOC upon arrival and 3
q30M (A, I, EOC – no delegation)
9. Educate patient about symptoms (as above #5) immediately upon arrival 3
10. Assess labs as they become available and keep physician updated ASAP
EOCs not met (indicate # from above):
1: Pain was reduced shortly after each admin of 2 mg Morphine to 5/10, but quickly
raised back up to 7/10 (within 30 mins of report of 5/10)
2: Pt was less dizzy when sitting upright than standing, laying down than sitting
upright, and when HoB was 45 deg rather than flat. Dizziness reduced, but not
eliminated
3: No additional pain or S&S of infection *except* spread of lower R. abd. pain
spread to lower R. abd.

How will you modify plan? I wouldn’t. Keep pt hydrated, in bed as much as possible, assess
