Hyperlipidemia: involves abnormally elevated levels of any or all lipids and/or lipoproteins in the blood.[1] It is the most common form of dyslipidemia (which includes
any abnormal lipid levels). Lipids (fat-soluble molecules) are transported in a protein capsule. The size of that capsule, or lipoprotein, determines its density. The
lipoprotein density and type of apolipoproteins it contains determines the fate of the particle and its influence on metabolism. Hyperlipidemias are divided in primary
and secondary subtypes. Primary hyperlipidemia is usually due to genetic causes (such as a mutation in a receptor protein), while secondary hyperlipidemia arises
due to other underlying causes such as diabetes. Lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities are common in the general population, and are regarded as a modifiable risk
factor for cardiovascular disease due to their influence on atherosclerosis. In addition, some forms may predispose to acute pancreatitis.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver diease: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the build up of extra fat in liver cells that is not caused by alcohol. It is normal for the liver
to contain some fat. However, if more than 5% - 10% percent of the livers weight is fat, then it is called a fatty liver (steatosis). NAFLD tends to develop in people who
are overweight or obese or have diabetes, high cholesterol or high triglycerides. Rapid weight loss and poor eating habits also may lead to NAFLD.

Patient response: Significantly decreased R hand and arm strength noted. Pt is immobile because she is recovering from
her recent humeral surgery. Pt reports pain during even the slightest movement of her right arm. Planned to treat her pain
before ambulating but pt did not ambulate throughout my time with her. Pain is the largest reason why this patient is
immobile. She expresses fear of pain and is guarded. Planned to consult PT about starting therapy, but upon arriving, I was
informed that the pt is no have a second surgery on her shoulder on 10/11. Pt is unable to perform ROM exercises with her
R arm while it is still healing. Plan to start ambulating pt after her next surgery is complete.
5. ND/Nursing Care:
Risk for Impaired Skin Integrity
Nursing Actions(NIC)
Monitor skin condition at least once a day for color and texture
Instruct pt to avoid harsh cleaning agents, hot water, and too frequent cleansing
Minimize exposure of the site of skin impairment to moisture, perspiration or wound drainage
Monitor condition of skin covering bony prominences
Implement prevention plan
Assess clients nutritional status
Perform teaching to the client regarding skin assessment and ways to monitor for impending skin breakdown
Determine pts risk by using the Braden Scale.
Patient response: Skin integrity, color and texture appear and feel normal. Pt used warm rather than hot water while
performing self cleansing as well as mild soap. Wound bandaging is tight and free of moisture or damage. Skin
surrounding and covering pts bony prominences is without breakdown. Inquired about the need to rotate the pts
positions regularly and was told that the brief nature of her visit was not cause for rotation. Also, pt is able to sit herself
up which decreased her risk of developing any ulcers or areas of breakdown. Client electrolytes are normal which
indicated good nutritional status. Pt is now eating her entire meals and is being hydrated via IV NS. Calculated pts
Braden Scale risk at a 17 which puts her at mild risk for skin breakdown.

Patient response: Pt A&O x4 and has a good ability and readiness when it comes to learning. Pt reports anxiety regarding
injury because it has stopped her from caring for and seeing her four grandchildren. For her, this injury means not spending
time with her family, which she reports as being a very high priority. Pts husband and son are both physicians. The
husband was at the bed side off and on throughout the entire day and was very helpful about providing information to the
client. Pt demonstrated a good knowledge of the medications she was receiving as shown by her questioning nature during
administration and by her concerns about receiving Losartan when her BP was low. Pt demonstrated good knowledge
about surgery dates and the process of recovery. Pt and husband were very careful while pt is adjusting positions or when
moving the HOB. Planned to perform teaching about proper care and maintenance of injury, but since pt was due to have
another surgery the next day, it was no longer a priority.
