Assessment

The patient is experiencing pruritus and discomfort related to their disease process. Histamine release in the skin causes pruritus and hyperirritability. After 8 hours of nursing intervention, the goals are for the patient to minimize pruritus and discomfort, and obtain adequate sleep as evidenced by 7-8 hours of sleep without fatigue. Nursing assessments and interventions include identifying sleep disturbances, adjusting the environment, and promoting normal sleep-wake patterns.
