What are some nursing diagnosis for diabetis? Can it be hyperglycemia?

Question

Thank you very much for your help

Answer 1

The diagnosis of diabetes mellitus is made by measurement of hyperglycemia via the oral glucose tolerance test (which is currently the gold standard of diagnosis), or fasting serum glucose (more-commonly used in routine diagnosis). Hyperglycemia must be documented on at least 2 consecutive visits -- i.e. the diagnosis cannot be based on one measurement alone, because one isolated incident of hyperglycemia could have many causes.

Answer 7

The best thing to easily make a nursing diagnosis is to fully understand the disease. See what effects it will give to the person and how would it affect. Then correlate it with your assessment of the patient and see what actual or potential problems could happen and nursing diagnosis will then be too easy to formulate. Some examples for diabetes: 1.Alteration in glucose metabolism: hyperglycemia/hypoglycemia due to Diabetes Mellitus. 2. Alteration in fluids and electrolyte balance. 3. Alteration in comfort: skin itchiness due to Diabetes. 4. Alteration in nutrition. 5. Fluid volume deficit due to frequent urination. 6. Potential for altered skin integrity due to infection. There are so many nursing diagnoses to make in Diabetes. Try to figure out, I already gave few examples.
You need to differentiate the nursing diagnosis from medical diagnosis- that is very important for a nurse to know.

Answer 8

No its not a nursing dx because that is a medical diagnosis. For diabetes it could be Imbalanced Nutrition:Less than body requirements related to effects of diabetes as evidenced by low/high serum glucose levels.

Diabetes Mellitis is a disease where the pancreas does not produce enough insulin in the body to regulate blood sugar, (My father, maternal grandmother and paternal grandfather each have Diabetes).

Hyperglycemia is a symptom of Diabetes, or something as simple of using certain medications, i.e., I am currently taking I.V. Steroids (Methylprednisolone) which can cause the symptom Hyperglycemia (which I am now experiencing) to remedy this I must eat a well balanced diet and pay attention to my blood sugars. I have experienced this before and my blood sugar usually returns to normal within a few days.
