Many kidney failure patients in daily life experience extreme fear and anxiety, which greatly hinders their smooth recovery. So patients with renal failure should regularly regulate their emotions and also pay attention to various nursing work to cooperate with doctors' treatment.
Key point 1: closely observe changes in the condition
Patients should closely observe changes in their condition with the help of their family, including paying attention to changes in body temperature, breathing, pulse, heart rate, heart rhythm, blood pressure, etc. Acute renal failure is often caused by heart failure, arrhythmia, infection, and seizures as the main causes of death. Early manifestations should be detected in a timely manner and doctors should be contacted at any time.
Key point 2: Accurately record the amount of liquid in and out
This is a key focus of nursing and has great value in determining the progression of renal failure patients' conditions. The amount of fluid entering orally and intravenously should be recorded item by item. Urine volume and abnormal loss, such as vomiting, gastrointestinal drainage fluid, and fecal moisture during diarrhea, need to be accurately measured. Daily and regular weight measurements should be taken to check for any worsening of edema.
Key point 3: Nutritional care
Eating the necessary nutrients for rehabilitation through a reasonable diet is also an essential nursing measure, which is a key point for the rehabilitation of patients with renal failure. During oliguria, the intake of water, salt, potassium, phosphorus, and protein should be limited to provide sufficient heat to reduce tissue protein breakdown. Individuals who cannot eat should supplement glucose, amino acids, fat milk, etc. from their veins. During dialysis treatment, the child loses a large amount of protein, so there is no need to limit protein intake.
By actively applying these nursing measures, patients with renal failure can maintain a positive and optimistic mood, which can greatly reduce the health damage caused by renal failure and enable the patient's kidney function to be repaired as soon as possible.
