Caso social: falta de cuidador

"Qual o diagnóstico principal mais adequado este caso?

 1.º dia de internamento: CASO SOCIAL
 Trata-se de doente Rankin 5 com alta recente do serviço de Medicina, enviado ao SU novamente por falta de condições de família para continuar como cuidadora do doente.
 Z63.8 Other specified problems related to primary support group?
 Z59.8 Other problems related to housing and economic circumstances?"




(Responde Fernando Lopes)



 
Como se trata de um problema de falta de cuidador eu selecionaria:
Z74.2 Need for assistance at home and no other household member able to render care
 
Alternativamente, se fosse esse o caso, poder-se-ia considerar o código
Z75.5 Holiday relief care

Helderberg Private Home Nursing Service  
Respite Care (Holiday / Relief care)

Even though most families take great joy in providing care to their loved ones so that they can remain at home, the physical, emotional and financial consequences for the family caregiver can be overwhelming without some support, such as respite. Respite provides the much needed temporary break from the often exhausting challenges faced by the family caregiver.
If you are planning or needing to be away, whether on holiday, or in hospital or on business, leaving a loved one who needs care can be traumatic. To prevent the trauma of moving a loved one to a nursing facility during your time away, or leaving them alone, we provide nursing staff to be with them during your absence.
