What are the nursing diagnoses for atrial fibrillation?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up on my heart and found that I have atrial fibrillation. What is the diagnosis and care plan for atrial fibrillation?

Doctor's answer:

Nursing care for atrial fibrillation primarily involves diagnosis of exercise intolerance. Potential complications include sudden death, risk of injury, anxiety, heart failure, and cerebral embolism. Timely treatment is required, along with heart rate regulation. Therefore, it is essential to closely monitor the patient's condition and heart rate at all times. After treatment, symptoms can be alleviated, so timely treatment is still necessary while also addressing the underlying condition.
