Elimination Complexities
Elimination complexities are medical conditions that prevent proper waste excretion by a patient. An example of this health problem is uremia, which is a condition that affects the normal excretion of urine from the body. Apart from its physical effects on the patient, elimination complexities can also cause financial constraints social and psychological effects to both the patient and their families. A patient diagnosed with this condition is likely to spend a lot of money to treat the disease, thus causing a lot of constraints on his/her financial status. This condition, on the other hand, can restrict the patient’s participation in social events and activities, such as going to work, as well as causing functional limitations (Khan et al.,2018). The psychological effect on the family and the patient associated with this condition may be secondary to its effects on the financial and social status of the patient. A patient who has been rendered jobless or who is unable to go to work because of the disease is likely to suffer emotional stress due to low economic status. Furthermore, the disease can cause mental illnesses such as anxiety disorders and depression. The patient’s family, on the other hand, is likely to suffer from stress as a result of destressing from their loved one and fear of being isolated by the public due to poor hygiene (Fumincelli, et al., 2017).
Nurses’ role in eliminating complexities is very fundamental in attaining emotional stability in the patients and their families. Nurses can achieve these through detailed patient education about the condition and availing all needed data for an optimal outcome, such as educating the patient about their prescription. Other ways through which nurses can provide emotional support are by empathizing with the patients, giving the patients hope to live, being accepting and compassionate, treating the patients holistically as unique individuals, and bonding with the family of the patient so that they can work together to fasten the patient’s recovery process (Delaney et al., 2017). For example, a nurse may communicate with the patient’s family members to get necessary information about the patient’s condition.
