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.

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.

Objective data: Her physical examination is within normal limits.

To prepare:

  • Review Chapters 6–8 of the Holroyd-Leduc and Reddy text.
  • Select one of the three case studies. Reflect on the way the patient presented in the case study you selected, including whether the patient might be presenting with dementia, delirium, or depression.
  • Think about how you would further evaluate the patient based on medical history, current drug treatments, and the patient’s presentation. Consider whether you would modify drug treatments, use additional assessment tools, and/or refer the patient to a specialist.

By Day 3

Post an explanation of whether you suspect the patient in the case study you selected is presenting with dementia, delirium, or depression and why. Then, explain how you would further evaluate the patient in the case study based on medical history, current drug treatments, and the way the patient presented. Include whether you would modify drug treatments, use additional assessment tools, and/or refer the patient to a specialist.

  • Include at least 3 scholarly references
  • APA format

  •    For this task you need to create a single (1) slide (using PowerPoint) concept map and 3700-4000 word explanation, demonstrating analysis of the case study emailed to you in week 1. A PowerPoint template file will be made available for you to customised based on your assigned case scenario.
  •  In your concept map you must:1) Interpret the patient’s risk factors (from the case-study scenario) and determine how these risk factors may lead to cell pathology (based on the patient’s diagnosis);2) Explain the links between cellular pathology and the pathophysiology of the diagnosed disease; 3) Describe how the pathophysiology of the disease accounts for the patient’s clinical manifestations (described in the case-study scenario); and4) Analyse and interpret evidence based research to suggest appropriate diagnostic assessments and treatment modalities for the patient’s diagnosis.

A leader has the ability to combine commitment for improvement with knowledge regarding how to exercise influence and engage support (Dickson & Tholl, 2014). In the areas of nursing and public health, the focus is on improving health. Porter-O’Grady and Malloch (2015) noted several major tasks of 21st-century healthcare leaders. Applying essentials of leadership select two (2) tasks from the following list of tasks and discuss how you would exercise influence and engage support for each of your selected tasks.

  • Deconstructing the barriers and structures of the 20th century
  • Alerting staff about the implications of changing what they do
  • Establishing safety around taking risks and experimenting
  • Embracing new technologies as a way of doing work
  • Reading the signposts along the road to the future
  • Translating the emerging reality of health reform into language that the staff can use
  • Demonstrating personal engagement with health reform
  • Helping others adapt to the demands of a value-driven health system
  • Creating a safe milieu for the struggles and pain of changing practice and service

Re:Topic 1 DQ 1

Nurses are the pillars of every health sector, they spend more time with the patients than any health care providers. A shortage of nurses has been projected to rise across the country between 2009 and 2030, mostly in the South and West (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2017)

The impact of nursing shortage to nursing Profession

Nursing is noble profession, nurses use their expertise skills and knowledge to safe patient’s lives and improve the quality of patients’ lives. Even though nursing is one of the fastest-growing profession, (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2017) but the impact of nurse’s shortage is felt by other nurses who work longer hours or days to make sure patients are taken care of. Some nurses who cannot handle the stress may either look forward to early retirement or changing to another profession, thereby causing more blow to the situation. Apart from that, a nurse who is tired or burnt out is prone to making medication errors and documentation error, thus putting the lives of the patients at risk, or even risking his or her nursing license and violating the standard of nursing practice.

Impact of Projected Nursing Shortage to the public

Research has link inadequate hospital nurse staffing to increased risk of adverse patient outcomes like increased mortality, and prolonged patient hospitalization. Patients and the public are the recipients of nursing services; therefore, any shortage of nursing staff affects the public they serve. Nurses help to improve the quality of lives of the public through education, physical assessment, and referrals.  Nurses are involved in preventive healthcare which reduces the rate of hospitalization. In long-term management of chronic diseases and home health settings, nurses use their competencies and knowledge to provide care and ensure safety to their patients. When nurses are over-stressed due to short staff shift, it may be difficult to cooperate with other health care providers, thus impacting patient care, professional relationship, and work environment. (Buerhaus, Donelan, Ulrich, 2005)

Discuss at least one way that the nursing profession is working toward a resolution of this problem.

The American Nurses Association have advocated that the federal government boost the funding for nursing workforce development programs. (Wolters Kluwer, 2016) This program provides grants for nursing education, provides supports to nursing students and loan forgiveness program for the students. This would not only attract more people to enroll in nursing programs but also serve as a motivating factor for the students.

NR 361 Week 5 and Week 6 Discussions

This paper of NR 361 Week 5 and Week 6 Discussions includes:

Nurses are increasingly considered knowledge workers. We are valued for what we know and how we think rather than what we do. Select one of the nursing theories from your readings this week (or another nursing theory from your textbook). How can you apply your selected theory of professional nursing to your nursing care? Provide specifics using terminology from the theory you selected to explain your use.The United States Census Bureau (2011) reported that approximately 48.6 million people in the United States lacked health insurance in 2011. In the role of nurse as teacher, how can nurses influence legislators in order to improve the healthcare system and promote access for all Americans?Although every RN in the United States takes the same licensing exam (NCLEX-RN), each state is charged with the licensing of nurses and the creation of law and rules to govern nursing practice in that state. Locate the Nurse Practice Act (or nursing law) for your state, and investigate one of the following issues: delegation by the RN to the unlicensed assistive personnel, use of the term nursing diagnosis, patient abandonment (refusal of an assignment), or requirements for continued licensure (practice, continuing education, or others). Tell us what your states law says on this issue and how this impacts your practice.Codes of ethics and standards for professional nursing practice have been developed by some professional nursing organizations. These codes and standards guide us in our practice and our interactions with consumers, other nurses, and other healthcare professions. Select at least one of the ethical standards or one of the standards of practice and tell us how you implement this in your current practice or how you will implement it in your future practice. Which standard is most challenging to you, and why?
