Abstract

Abstract Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common chronic diseases affecting people in the world. CKD is a disorder of kidney function, namely the body's failure to maintain metabolism and fluid balance, so that it cannot recover due to the body being unable to maintain metabolism. Purpose: To identify appropriate bleeding in chronic kidney disease patients. Method: The design of this research is a case study in caring for clients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The research object was two patients with a diagnosis at the Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek Regional General Hospital, Lampung Province. Maintenance care data collection is carried out by interviews, physical examination, and direct observation. Data analysis was carried out by evaluating treatment actions against the level of treatment achievement in patients. Results: Based on diagnosis, observation and physical examination, ineffective breathing patterns, hypervolemia, activity intolerance, disturbed sleep patterns and risk of nutritional deficit were found. Bleeding care for 3 x 24 hours shows that breathing patterns are becoming more normal, fluid intake is balanced, and physical activity is restored. Conclusion: Implementation of maintenance measures in CKD patients has an impact on improving breathing, balancing fluid intake, and physical activity conditions. Suggestion: There is a need to understand and the importance of nursing care, namely in carrying out priority actions for CKD patients.
