II. Health History
a. Present Health History
3 months prior to admission, the patient experienced difficulty of breathing and pain at her right anterior and posterior mid-clavicular area. She stated that pain was continuous, “kumikirot” and can range from 6-10/10 on the pain scale. She would cry because of the pain, and needs to always have pillows on her back to decrease difficulty of breathing, which was chracterized as “parang may nakadagan”. She drank Mefenamic acid and tried to relax and breathe in deeply to relieve pain. She was rushed to the hospital in Isabela. She was diagnosed of pleural fluid effusion. Xray was done and it shows minimal and unrecalled fluid amount. She was prescribed with TB drugs: Rifampicin, Isoniazid and Ethambutol taken OD for 2 months. The patient can’t remember the dosages of the drug taken.
2 months prior to admission, the patient experienced seizure at around 11 am during her visit to her cousin at Tugegarao. The seizure was 5 minutes in duration. patient said that her seizure was characterized as “nakalabas ang dila ko, naglalaway , tumitirik and mata at tnangingisay ang katawan ko.” The patient thought it was due to her high BP so she was not brought to the hospital. They decided that they will seek consult tomorrow morning. Furthermore, the patient still experienced difficulty of breathing and pain on her back despite being compliant with the medications. On the next day, the patient went to the hospital in Tugegarao for a check-up. Xray and CT Scan were done and revealed abnormalities in her brain and fluid in the lungs with unrecalled amounts. Hence, the patient stopped taking the TB drugs after knowing that she didn't have any TB. She was advised to have her symptoms and her CT scan plates to be checked by her doctor in Isabela. After she was checked, she was referred to Jose Reyes Hospital in Quezon City.
1 month prior to admission, the patient went to Jose Reyes Hospital under referral of her doctor in Isabela. CT Scan with biopsy was done and revealed Non-small Cell Carcinoma Stage IV with brain metastasis. She sought a second opinion at UERM hospital and was advised to
treat her brain metastasis first with radiation therapy because according to the patient, the doctor said it could be fatal if she had another episode of seizure again.
3 weeks prior to admission, the patient was started on brain radiation therapy at Jose Reyes Hospital for 15 sessions. After her brain radiation therapy, she was then admitted to UERM Hospital at the Medicine Ward and started her first cycle of chemotherapy for one day (Paclitaxel Carboplatin). She was scheduled for a follow-up and a second cycle of chemotherapy 18 days after her first cycle. The next day after her chemotherapy, the patient experienced syncope and seizures (unrecalled duration). She was then rushed to the E.R. at UERM hospital. She was given Oxcarbazepine 300mg and was admitted to the Pay ward (3N2). After 24 hours, the patient was discharged because of improved condition.
4 days prior to admission, the patient experienced another seizure episode and was brought again to the E.R. She was given Oxcarbazepine 300mg again and was admitted to the Medicine Ward. She was observed and was discharged 3 days after because she regained her strength and her condition improved.
On the day of admission, the patient received a call from a doctor in UERM informing her that she should come earlier than her scheduled follow up day because it was a holiday on her scheduled follow-up. Xray and biopsy of the pleural fluid was done which revealed worsening of the pleural effusion. Hence, she was advised to be admitted and have a chest tube insertion.
b. Past Medical History
The patient had two surgeries before and was confined to a hospital. She had a cholelithotomy last 1997 and had a Caesarean birth last 1999. The patient is a known hypertensive but is controlled with Norvasc 5mg taken twice per day. The patient can’t recall if she was fully immunized when she was young. But she already had chicken pox, mumps and measles. She has no known allergies to food or any medications.
c. Social History
The patient used to work as a tobacco farmer in a plantation in Isabela for 15 years before she was diagnosed with cancer. according to patient, when the tobacco plants are already dry, she gathers them into bundles. during this time, the plants have a strong and heavy smell. Sometimes they burn the extra tobacco plants together with other wastes, which takes around thirty minutes. She doesn't wear a mask when working. The patient doesn’t drink any alcohol and doesn’t smoke. She used to drink 1 cup of coffee every morning but stopped when she was diagnosed with hypertension in 1997. She lives in a two-storey house in Isabela with her husband and two children. The house is made up of mixed materials: concrete and wood. She was used to doing the household chores then but now her son hired a house-help that cleans their house every morning. According to her, the environment there is safe and peaceful. There were no reported crimes in the recent years and there’s a barngay tanod that’s roaming and guarding their barangay. She also verbalized that she’s in a good relationship with their neighbors and she frequently attends programs and barangay meetings held in their town center. Her income nowadays comes from her husband’s and children’s jobs. The patient had no any recent travels, local or foreign, in the past 3 years.
d. Family History
e. Developmental History
According to Erik Erikson’s Theory, the patient, who is 52 years old, is currently in the stage of Middle Adulthood wherein the ego development outcome is Generativity vs. Stagnation. Here, the basic strengths are production and care. It is a stage where work is most crucial since this is where the patient tends to be occupied with creative and meaningful work and with issues surrounding family. This is where she can be “in charge”. It is an important task for the patient to be able to teach values to her family and work to establish a stable environment. Strength comes from the care she receives and production of something for the betterment of society.
Upon observation, patient’s view about her life now is leading more towards stagnation. Patient is depressed and verbalized feelings of helplessness about her health. She believes she

cannot be productive in her current situation. Fortunately, she has a husband and family who are willing to support her. She needs to find significant relationship among her workplace, community and family to help her lead a life that is geared towards generativity.
Diagnostic Tests
Chest X-ray (Aug. 17, 2009)
Impression: Slight decrease in the amount of right sided pleural effusion. Presently moderate to massive in amount. The visualized aerated lung fields are clear.True cardiac size not ascertain.Atherosclerotic aorta.No evident pneumothorax seen.Other chest structures not remarkable.
Ultrasound report (Aug. 18, 2009)
The sonogram of the right lower hemothorax shows accumulation of free fluid at the dependent portion of the thoracic cavity, with approximate volume of 697 ml. Skin marker was placed at the posterior right lower lateral hemithorax. Depth of needle from skin to pleura and skin to central portion of fluid collection is 2.5 cm and 5.0 cm, respectively.
Thoracentesis was performed under local anaesthesia. Approximately 700 ml of reddish fluid was aspirated. Post aspiration sonogram demonstrates approximately 100 ml retained fluid.
Microbiology (Aug. 25, 2009)
No organism seen on the pleural fluid.
Pleural fluid analysis (August 25, 2009)

Complete blood count is indicated to the patient to rule out suspected hematologic disorder, neoplasm, or immunologic abnormality and to monitor effects of physical or emotional stress.
Haemoglobin 118 g/L (120-140 g/L) is the main intracellular protein of the RBC. Its primary function is to transport oxygen to the cells and to remove carbon dioxide from them for excretion by the lungs. Decreased haemoglobin count indicates decreased oxygen transportation to cells and removal of cardon dioxide for excretion to the lungs.
The Hct or packed RBC volume measures the proportion of RBCs in a volume of whole blood. Normally, Hgb and Hct levels parallel each other and are commonly used together to express the degree of anemia. Decreased hematocrit count indicates decreased RBC volume in proportion to other cellular components of the blood.
Mean corpuscular haemoglobin reflects the weight of haemoglobin in each RBC. Decreased MCH count indicates disproportionate haemoglobin in each RBC.

II. GORDON’S FUNCTIONAL HEALTH PATTERNS
A. Health Perception – Health Management’
Subjective:“Nasa hospital ako ngayon dahil may cancer ako at na sinabi na stage IV cancer. Pagkatapos ng
xray, nalaman na maraming tubig sa baga ko kaya kailangan daw tanggalin bago ako i-chemo ulit kasi di daw yun effective kung may tubig pa din ako sa baga. Hindi naman ako sakitin dati pero na-confine na ako noong 1997 kasi tinanggal yung bato ko sa apdo saka noong 1999 kasi nanganak ako ng CS sa bunso ko. Mahilig ako kumain ng prinitong pagkain tulad ng isda dati. Hindi ko hilig magpa-check-up pero kapag hindi ko na kaya, nagpapatingin ako. Kung hindi gumana yung gamot na nireseta ng doctor, bumibista din ako sa albularyo. Norvasc ang gamot ko para sa high blood, pinakamataas na BP na nakuha sa ‘kin 140/100 mmHg. Nasusunod ko naman yung schedule ng pag inom ng gamot ko. May malapit na hospital sa bahay namin kaya madali makakuha ng tulong kung sakali. Hindi ko maalala kung pina-bakuna ako noong bata. Wala naman akong allergies sa pagkain o gamot. Nagseself-medicate lang ako kapag may ubo or sipon, iinom ako ng Biogesic o vitamin C. Gumagamit din ako ng alternatibong paraan katulad ng pag-inom ng calamansi juice kapag may sipon o ubo ako. Sa ngayon, wala naman akong iniinom na gamot na hindi niriseta ng doctor kasi sumusunod ako kung ano lang pinapainom sa akin.”
Objective:She is dressed appropriately to the situation, with no foul body odor or bad breath. Her hair is
short (almost bald) and evenly distributed. Upon assessment, patient was oriented to time, place and person. Patient manifested willingness to participate during the interview and was able to maintain eye contact. Hair is color black. Good skin turgor and no edema. Capillary refill goes back 2 seconds after pinching. Nails were kept short and clean. Patient's hearing sensation was not impaired and was able to pass the whisper and tick test. She was able to determine and differentiate blunt, sharp, deep and light sensation. No numbness or tingling sensation was felt. Illuminated pupils were able to constrict. The pupils constricted from 5 mm to 3mm. He was able to differentiate sweet, sour and salty taste testers. No numbness or tingling sensation was felt. Cranial nerves III, IV and VI were intact upon assessment of eye movements. Other cranial nerves were intact upon assessment (smell and taste testing, corneal reflex, face, tongue movement, etc.) Has facial symmetry. Cervical lymph nodes are enlarged. Patient is able to walk with assistance but hesitates to do so because it might augment her pain. She showed facial grimaces when trying turn from side to side. The patient’s vital signs are as follows: BP=120/90 mmHg, PR=114, RR=22 Temp=36.8 C. (8:00 PM). Hemoglobin level: 118 g/L (Reference: 120-140 g/L), Hematocrit: 35% (Reference: 37-47%). Height = 5’4”, Weight = 127.8 lbs/58kg; BMI = 21.9. The patient’s current medications are the following: Oxcarbazepine (300 mg), Amlodipine (5mg OD), Dolcet (1 tablet, Q6), Celecoxib (200 mg, 1 cap, BID), Nalbuphine (PRN medication). Fiinal diagnosis: Non small cell lung cancer Stage IV with brain metastasis.
Analysis: Ineffective therapeutic regimen management related to lack of ability to make deliberate and
thoughtful judgements.
B. Nutritional – Metabolic Pattern
Subjective:“Karaniwan akong kumakain ng 3-5 beses sa isang araw, tapos may merienda rin. Madalas tubig
lang iniinom ako, hindi naman ako mahilig sa softdrinks. Nakaka-anim na baso ako na tubig sa isang araw.Mas gusto ko ang gulay at isda kaysa sa karne. Madalas ang kinakain ko sa umaga ay isa o dalawang pandesal tapos may palaman na itlog o cheese spread. Sa tanghalian, isang cup ng kanin at isang platito ng ulam ang dami Yung ulam ko nun kadalasan gulay o karne.. Sa gabi naman, isang cup din
ng kanin at pritong isda o gulay. Mahilig ako sa mga prinitong pagkain. Dati, yung merienda ko madalas prutas kasi maraming tanim dun sa probinsya namin sa Isabela ng mangga, guava o suha. Ngayon sa ospital, kinakain ko kung anong bigay sa akin na rasyon at pina-soft diet ako. Kaninang agahan, naka-dalawang tinapay ako. Kaninang tanghalian, sinigang na isda at kanin pero hindi ko naubos. Kagabi kumain ako ng isang mangkok ng sopas. Sa nakalipas na buwan, nangayayat ako pagkatapos nung radiation therapy, nung mga July 31 yun. Minsan nawawalan ako ng gana kumain kasi masakit ang ulo ko. Wala akong problema sa pag-nguya at paglunok. Hindi rin sumasakit yung lalamunan ko. Wala naman akong allergies sa pagkain at walang ipinagbabawal na pagkain ang aking relihiyon maliban na lang kung mahal na araw kasi bawala ang karne kapag ganun.”

C. Elimination Pattern
Subjective:“3 hanggang 7 beses akong dumudumi dati sa loob ng isang lingo. Naka-diaper ako ngayon,
nagpapalit ako dalawa o tatlong beses sa isang araw. Hindi pa ako nadudumi magmula nung lagyan ako ng tubo sa may kanang baga. Bale dalawang araw na ngayon na di ako nakakadumi pagkatapos ng CTT. Ayoko din masyadong uminom ng tubig kasi baka makaapekto naman yun sa tubig sa baga.Yung dumi ko dati madalas brown, parang oblong na maliit at hindi matigas. Dati mga lima hangang siyam na beses ako umiihi sa isang araw, mga isang baso kada-ihi at kulay dilaw. Ngayon ganun din naman pero di ko matantsa kung gano kadami kasi naka-diaper ako. Pag-nagpapalit ako ng diaper, puno naman palagi ng ihi.1-3 beses ako nagpapalit ng diaper sa isang araw. Wala naman masakit kapag umiihi ako o dumudumi at hindi ko pa naman nae-experience na may dugo na sa ihi or dumi ko."

Subjective:The patient verbalized, “’Yung mga gawain sa bukid pati mga gawaing bahay ang exercise ko.
Gumigising ako ng 5 ng umaga para mag almusal kasama ng asawa ko.Tapos pupunta na siya sa bukid. Ako naman maiiwan kasi gagawa ako sa bahay saka aasikasuhin yung bunso ko kasi pumapasok yun sa eskwelahan eh. Pagkatapos nun, nagpupunta na ko sa bukid at doon na inaabot ng hapon. Magmula nung nagkasakit ako, sa bahay na lang ako. Gumagawa pa rin ako ng gawaing bahay pero di na kagaya ng dati na naglalaba at pati ibang mabibigat na gawaing bahay. Ngayon dito sa ospital, natatakot akong tumagilid kasi baka matanggal yung tubo ko sa may kanang baga ko. Sinubukan kong umupo, pero masakit pa din. 8/10 yung sakit. Dito lang banda (CTT insertion site), parang kumikirot yung pakiramdam. Sumasakit lang naman kapag gumagalaw ako eh, yung tipong uupo o tatagilid. Nawawala lang kapag di na ko gumalaw saka pinainom ako ng gamut.

Analysis:Activity intolerance related to decreased oxygen supply secondary to non small cell lung
carcinoma.
E. Sleep-Rest PatternSubjective:
“Dati mga 10:00pm na ko matulog pagkatapos ng “Tayong Dalawa” at 5:00 am ako nagigising. Maaga kasi dapat nasa bukid na ako, dun yun sa Isabela. Nakataas ang ulo ko kapag natutulog at gumagamit ako ng 2-3 na unan. Nakatagilid lang ako karaniwan pag-natulog. Ako sa kanan ng kama tapos and asawa ko sa kaliwa. Naka-electric fan lang kami pag natutulog. Wala naman akong ibang ritwal bago ako matulog, basta makaligo at mag-toothbrush lang. Sa ngayon, parehas lang din yung pattern ng pag-tulog ko. Buti nalang ngayon may gamot na ko para sa sakit kaya mas mahimbing ako nakakatulog at hindi ko masyado nararamdaman yung sakit.”

At kapag may gusto ako usually gagawin ko ang lahat para makuha yun. itong sakit ko lang sa ngayon ang iniisip ko. Sana nga lang gumaling ako para marami na ako magawa. Kasama ko naman dito asawa ko e. Nagdadasal na lang ako lalo na kapag may nararamdaman akong sakit. Medyo naiilang lang ako sa itsura ko kasi wala na akong buhok. Sabi ng doktor noon magpaiksi na ako ng buhok kasi pwede daw malagas ang buhok ko dahil sa
radiation. Pero nagulat ako, talagang makakalbo pala ako. Pero wala naman problema ‘yun handa naman ako kasi kasama ito para gumaling ako. Sa ngayon, pakiramdam ko mamamatay na ako. Sobrang lala na ng sakit ko. Bakit pa sa lahat ng tao ako pa ang dinapuan ng ganitong sakit. Gusto ko pa makasama ng matagal ang pamilya ko.”

Ok rin naman din ang pakikitungo ko sa mga anak ko pero may mga times talaga na nagkakainisan kami, lalo na kung sinusuway nila ako. Dati sa bahay ako yung taga-bili ng pagkain sa palengke, tumutulong ako sa pagbayad ng gastusin, nangangaral sa mga anak ko at gumagawa ng gawaing bahay . Nung nagkasakit ako, di ko n lahat ito nagagampanan.”

Ineffective airway clearance related to increased bronchial secretions and presence of tumor on the lungs secondary to non-small cell lung carcinoma
Tumor of the epithelial covering of lung airways grows invasively through surrounding tissue. Local invasion is likely to obstruct airways causing loss of ventilation, decrease in air volume, and subsequent infection behind the obstruction. Lung cancers of all various cell types have been observed similarly.

Activity intolerance r/t to decreased oxygen supply secondary to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
Insufficient physio-logical or psycho-logical energy to en-dure or complete re-quired or desired daily activities
Most activity intol-erance is related to generalized weak-ness and debilitation secondary to acute or chronic illness and disease. This is especially apparent
Goal: After 2 days of nursing intervention, the pt will be able to demonstrate gradual increase in activity tolerance.
Objectives: After 8 hours of nursing intervention the patient will:
a. Identify factors affecting activity
Independent:
Determine patient's perception of causes of fatigue or activity intolerance

in elderly patients with a history of or-thopedic, cardiopul-monary, diabetic, or pulmonary- related problems. The aging process itself causes reduction in muscle strength and func-tion, which can im-pair the ability to maintain activity. Activity intolerance may also be related to factors such as obesity, malnourish-ment, side effects of medications (e.g., -blockers), or emo-tional states such as depression or lack of confidence to ex-ert one's self. Nurs-ing goals are to re-duce the effects of inactivity, promote optimal physical ac-tivity, and assist the patient to maintain a satisfactory life-style.
