Case Study 2

CC: “irritable and forgetful”

HPI: Mrs. White, a 78-year-old married woman, is brought to the office of her primary care provider by her husband because of increasing forgetfulness and irritability over the past 3 months. Mr. White claims that his wife has had problems for several years now, but has just gotten “worse in her memory” in the past few months. She recently misplaced her purse and accused her son of stealing it. How you would evaluate the patient based on medical history, current drug treatments, and the patient’s presentation

On three occasions, she left the stove on and boiled a pot dry, nearly causing a fire. She recently put a container of ice cream into the washing machine instead of into the freezer and her husband did not discover it for more than a week. Mrs. White claims her family wants to take her money and leave her with nothing. “No matter what they say, there is nothing wrong with me,” she states.

Past Medical History (PMH) includes: hypothyroidism, treated with Synthroid, and successful treatment of breast cancer approximately 15 years prior. She also takes over-the-counter ibuprofen for chronic lower back pain and occasional Benadryl to help her sleep at night.

Case Study: Fetal Abnormality

Jessica is a 30-year-old immigrant from Mexico City. She and her husband Marco have been in the U.S. for the last three years and have finally earned enough money to move out of their Aunt Maria’s home and into an apartment of their own. They are both hard workers. Jessica works 50 hours a week at a local restaurant and Marco has been contracting side jobs in construction. Six months before their move to an apartment, Jessica finds out she is pregnant How a theory determine or influence the recommendation for action.

Four months later, Jessica and Marco arrive at the county hospital, a large, public, nonteaching hospital. A preliminary ultrasound indicates a possible abnormality with the fetus. Further scans are conducted and it is determined that the fetus has a rare condition in which it has not developed any arms, and will not likely develop them. There is also a 25% chance that the fetus may have Down syndrome.

Dr. Wilson, the primary attending physician, is seeing Jessica for the first time, since she and Marco did not receive earlier prenatal care over concerns about finances. Marco insists that Dr. Wilson refrain from telling Jessica the scan results, assuring him that he will tell his wife himself when she is emotionally ready for the news. While Marco and Dr. Wilson are talking in another room, Aunt Maria walks into the room with a distressed look on her face. She can tell that something is wrong and inquires of Dr. Wilson. After hearing of the diagnosis, she walks out of the room wailing loudly and praying aloud.

Marco and Dr. Wilson continue their discussion, and Dr. Wilson insists that he has an obligation to Jessica as his patient and that she has a right to know the diagnosis of the fetus. He furthermore is intent on discussing all relevant factors and options regarding the next step, including abortion. Marco insists on taking some time to think of how to break the news to Jessica, but Dr. Wilson, frustrated with the direction of the conversation, informs the husband that such a choice is not his to make. Dr. Wilson proceeds back across the hall, where he walks in on Aunt Maria awkwardly praying with Jessica and phoning the priest. At that point, Dr. Wilson gently but briefly informs Jessica of the diagnosis, and lays out the option for abortion as a responsible medical alternative, given the quality of life such a child would have. Jessica looks at him and struggles to hold back her tears.

Jessica is torn between her hopes of a better socioeconomic position and increased independence, along with her conviction that all life is sacred. Marco will support Jessica in whatever decision she makes, but is finding it difficult not to view the pregnancy and the prospects of a disabled child as a burden and a barrier to their economic security and plans. Dr. Wilson lays out all of the options but clearly makes his view known that abortion is “scientifically” and medically a wise choice in this situation. Aunt Maria pleads with Jessica to follow through with the pregnancy and allow what “God intends” to take place, and urges Jessica to think of her responsibility as a mother How a theory determine or influence the recommendation for action.

Nursing Science is a field of knowledge based on the assistance of nursing scientists throughout peer-reviewed academic journals and evidenced-based practice (Murray, 2007 ). Defining the Issue Active debate are being carried out about health care reform in the United States concerns questions of a right to health care, right of entry, fairness, competence, cost, option, value, and quality. Some have argued that the organization does not bring equivalent value for the money spent. The USA pays twice as much yet lags in the rear other wealthy nations in such measures as infant death and life expectancy. Presently, the USA has an elevated infant mortality rate than most of the world’s industrialized nations. This paper is aimed to identity the main health care issue prevailing in United States and how does that issue effect nursing practice (Higginbottom, 2010). Political Background Millions of sick people who cannot have enough money for medical care are greatly pouring into emergency rooms, which by law cannot send them away. Adding to the misery, by 2015, the National Coalition on Health Care anticipated that the government will have to double healthcare expenditure to $4 trillion per year, or 20% of the nation’s budget. With millions of uninsured people incapable to access proper healthcare, overstretched hospitals and increasing costs, America’s healthcare system is in danger (Steinwachs, 1994)The assistance of nursing scientists throughout peer-reviewed academic journals and evidenced-based practice. Social Background The USA is the only well-off, developed nation that does not make certain that all citizens have exposure (i.e., some kind of private or public health insurance). In 2004, the Institute of Medicine report observed “lack of health insurance causes approximately 18,000 needless deaths every year in the United States.” while a 2009 Harvard study anticipated that 44,800 excess deaths occurred yearly due to lack of health insurance (Elizabeth Morrow, 2012 ). Though the United States has the most costly healthcare system in the world, 47 million Americans have no health insurance.

Healthcare is the nation’s leading economic sector, accounting for over $2 trillion in annual expenditures four times larger than national defense (Ginzberg, 1998). Yet millions cannot have enough money to take care of their health requirements. And the prospects are getting poorer. During the past eight years, insurance premiums have almost increased, resulting in health insurance increasing farther out of reach for millions. Growing medical bills are gradually more leaving families drowning in debt. Unfortunately, one-half of all personal bankruptcies are originated by medical bills, according to the organization of Health Care for All (Melanie Jasper, 2008 ). Economic Background The U.S. spends a high percentage of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on healthcare than other developed countries. in 2003, it was 15%, versus an average of 8.6% in the OECD nations (the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, a grouping of major industrialized countries). The United States also use more per capita than any other industrialized country, spending $5,635 per capita in 2003, versus the OECD’s $2,307. And joined with high expenditures is the elevated cost of care for individuals. The assistance of nursing scientists throughout peer-reviewed academic journals and evidenced-based practice
