Pathophysiological Discussion: Discuss the current disease process at the cellular level (in your own words). Explain why this patient is encountering this particular health deficit. What is the relationship of this current health alteration to the patient’s other medical conditions? Describe the current disease process the patient is encountering etiology, epidemiology, pathophysical mechanism, manifestations and treatment (medical and surgical). Also note the complications that may occur with these treatments and the patient’s overall prognosis. Include appropriate references and use APA format.

Attach a research article pertaining to diagnosis of patient. Write a summary about the article.

Acute pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection that causes inflammation of the kidneys. It is usually caused by Escherichia coli and can be organ- and life-threatening, leading to kidney scarring. Diagnosing pyelonephritis can be done through urine testing, imaging tests, CT scans, and radioactive imaging. Urine testing is used to check for bacteria, concentration, blood, and pus in the urine, imaging tests to look for cysts, tumors, or other obstructions in the urinary tract, and radioactive imaging to track an injection of radioactive material. The most common etiologic agent of acute pyelonephritis is Escherichia coli.

The symptoms usually include fever, flank pain, nausea, vomiting, burning on urination, increased frequency, and urgency. Complications can include renal or perinephric abscess formation, sepsis, renal vein thrombosis, papillary necrosis, or acute renal failure. The treatment of acute pyelonephritis involves antibiotics, which are usually given intravenously in the hospital setting. In severe cases, surgery may be required to drain an abscess or remove a blockage in the urinary tract. The overall prognosis for acute pyelonephritis is generally good with prompt and appropriate treatment, but if left untreated or with complications, the prognosis can be poor. A coordinated, inter-professional team approach is essential to ensure prompt diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and close monitoring for complications.

Ramakrishnan, K., & Scheid, D. C. (2005). Diagnosis and management of acute pyelonephritis in adults. American family physician, 71(5), 933-942.

Nursing Diagnosis: Identify the top two nursing Diagnoses and expand

Assessment as evident by (AEB) or data collection relative to the nursing diagnosis (Appropriate for chosen diagnosis. Includes objective & Subjective historical data that support actual or risk for nursing diagnosis) Patient Goal(s)
Statement of purpose for the patient to achieve Patient Outcome (Should be measurable, attainable, realistic and timed, all criteria should be present and specific to the patient Dx.)
(Must have at least two short term outcomes and two long term outcomes)
Interventions/Implementations (Must have at least four nursing interventions for each outcome written that directly relate to the patient’s goal statement and help to reach the patient outcomes. They should be specific in action, frequency, and contain a rationale. Evaluation. (Was the outcome met, partially met or not met and why? And is the plan of care revised or continued and new evaluation date/time is set)

The patient has symptoms such as fever, nausea, and vomiting.
The patient also has a weakened immune system due to chronic kidney disease or frequent visits to hospitals.

The patient will maintain normal body temperature and vital signs within normal limits by the end of the shift.

The patient will remain free from the signs and symptoms of infection throughout hospitalization.

Short-term outcome:
The patient’s temperature and vital signs will be within normal limits by the end of the shift.

Long-term outcome:
The patient will remain free from signs and symptoms of infection throughout hospitalization, as evidenced by normal temperature, white blood cell count, and absence of fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, or malaise.
Short-term interventions:

Monitor vital signs every 4 hours.
Administer antibiotics as ordered.
Encourage adequate hydration.
Promote hygiene and infection control measures.

Long-term interventions:

Monitor temperature, white blood cell count, and signs and symptoms of infection.
Administer antibiotics.
Educate patient and family on infection prevention and control measures.
Collaborate with healthcare team to prevent healthcare-acquired infections.
The patient verbalized understanding of infection prevention and control measures before discharge.

The patient remained free from signs and symptoms of infection throughout hospitalization, as evidenced by normal temperature, white blood cell count, and absence of fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, or malaise.
The patient was discharged without any signs of infection.
