Nursing Management
Nursing Assessment
Assess vital signs. Patient can have fever with chills, hypotension, or tachycardia.
Review serum sodium and potassium levels, which may become depleted with nasogastric suctioning or fluid shifts.
Review serial WBC count and differentiated to evaluate the course of action.
Assess tissue perfusion. Note level of consciousness, skin color and temperature, pulses, and capillary refill.
Assess hydration status: note skin turgor on inner thigh or forehead, condition of buccal membranes, and development of edema or
crackles.
Assess the patient’s abdomen for resolution of rigidity, rebound tenderness, and distention. Auscultate bowel sounds.
Nursing Diagnosis
Acute pain related to discomfort due to surgical procedure as evidenced by patients dull facial expression and verbalization.
Ineffective Breathing Pattern related to decreased lung expansion, alveolar hypoventilation as evidenced by reduced vital capacity,
apnoea, cyanosis, noisy respirations, and desaturation.
Imbalanced nutrition less than body requirement related to anorexia and dietary restrictions secondary to disease condition.
Activity intolerance related to fatigue, lethargy and malaise secondary to disease condition.
Risk of Injury related to disorientation and immobilization.
Risk of infection related to invasive procedure and stasis of body fluids.
Impaired Skin Integrity related to accumulation of drainage; altered metabolic state as evidenced by disruption of skin surface/layers and
tissues.
Knowledge deficit related to the condition and self-care related to disease condition.

SUMMARY
In this nursing care plan, I have taken the topic Biliary Atresia. My patient baby Ishaanvi, a 5
month old was apparently well 1 month back when she developed jaundice which was
insidious onset, progressively increasing associated with dark colour urine and pigmented
stools. There was no history of fever, hematemesis, melena, pain in abdomen at that time.
Baby was diagnosed with CLD biliary atresia She was then worked up for liver donor liver
transplant and her mother came forward as voluntary live liver donor. After all the test of the
donor as well as the receiver was done, on 19 january 2024 the liver transplant was done.
