Hematopoietic:
J.D. is a 37 years old white woman who presents to her gynecologist complaining of a 2-month history of intermenstrual bleeding, menorrhagia, increased urinary frequency, mild incontinence, extreme fatigue, and weakness. Her menstrual period occurs every 28 days and lately there have been 6 days of heavy flow and cramping. She denies abdominal distension, back-ache, and constipation. She has not had her usual energy levels since before her last pregnancy.

ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED SOLUTION PAPERS

Past Medical History (PMH):
Upon reviewing her past medical history, the gynecologist notes that her patient is a G5P5with four pregnancies within four years, the last infant having been delivered vaginally four months ago. All five pregnancies were unremarkable and without delivery complications. All infants were born healthy. Patient history also reveals a 3-year history of osteoarthritis in the left knee, probably the result of sustaining significant trauma to her knee in an MVA when she was 9 years old. When asked what OTC medications she is currently taking for her pain and for how long she has been taking them, she reveals that she started taking ibuprofen, three tablets each day, about 2.5 years ago for her left knee. Due to a slowly progressive increase in pain and a loss of adequate relief with three tablets, she doubled the daily dose of ibuprofen. Upon the recommendation from her nurse practitioner and because long-term ibuprofen use can cause peptic ulcers, she began taking OTC omeprazole on a regular basis to prevent gastrointestinal bleeding. Patient history also reveals a 3-year history of HTN for which she is now being treated with a diuretic and a centrally acting antihypertensive drug. She has had no previous surgeries.

Cardiovascular
Mr. W.G. is a 53-year-old white man who began to experience chest discomfort while playing tennis with a friend. At first, he attributed his discomfort to the heat and having had a large breakfast. Gradually, however, discomfort intensified to a crushing sensation in the sternal area and the pain seemed to spread upward into his neck and lower jaw. The nature of the pain did not seem to change with deep breathing. When Mr. G. complained of feeling nauseated and began rubbing his chest, his tennis partner was concerned that his friend was having a heart attack and called 911 on his cell phone. The patient was transported to the ED of the nearest hospital and arrived within 30 minutes of the onset of chest pain. In route to the hospital, the patient was placed on nasal cannula and an IV D5W was started. Mr. G. received aspirin (325 mg po) and 2 mg/IV morphine. He is allergic to meperidine (rash). His pain has eased slightly in the last 15 minutes but is still significant; was 9/10 in severity; now7/10. In the ED, chest pain was not relieved by 3 SL NTG tablets. He denies chills.

Diagnostic results:

Vitals: Height 5’2”; Weight 185 lbs; BI 33.84; Reported pain 0/10

GAD-7 total score: 14 PHQ-9 Total score: 21, MDQ (+)

Assessment:

Mental Status Examination:

The patient is well-oriented to time, person and place. During the examination, the patient changed in mood and appeared depressed. The patient is also experiencing sadness that is interfering with their normal functioning. During the examination, it is evident that the patient suffers from anxiety. The patient is also visibly nervous during the examination. Signs of sleep disturbance are evident from the examination, and the patient also has suicide ideation. The patient is also experiencing feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness. PL also presents with hallucinations and delusions.

Diagnostic Impression:

 

Moderate Bipolar Disorder

 

Moderate bipolar disorder is also called cyclothymic disorder (Ghaziuddin & Ghaziuddin, 2021). An individual experiencing moderate bipolar disorder is likely to present with cyclic lows and highs that can be apparent in considerable mood swings that also affect their energy levels (Ghaziuddin & Ghaziuddin, 2021). The cyclic lows and highs are also likely to lead to reduced energy levels affecting the individual’s ability to function normally (Ghaziuddin & Ghaziuddin, 2021). The changes in moods can take place rapidly and abruptly at any time. The individual will often have short periods of normal moods before their moods swing again (Ghaziuddin & Ghaziuddin, 2021). Moderate bipolar disorder is likely to appear in the adolescent stage to early adulthood. Symptoms of moderate bipolar disorder include needing very little sleep, being easily distracted, racing thoughts, being isolated, losing weight and appetite, suicide ideation, a considerable loss of energy, and low self-esteem (Ghaziuddin & Ghaziuddin, 2021). Care Across The Lifespan I Assignment

 

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

 

PTSD is a mental health disorder that is caused as a result of a person experiencing or witnessing trauma. Some trauma that may lead to PTSD includes serious injury, sexual violence, death threats, terrorist acts, war, natural disasters, and many others (Watkins et al., 2018). An individual with PTSD is likely to experience disturbing and intense thoughts linked to the traumatic experience they underwent or witnessed, even if significant time has passed since the event. The individual may involuntarily relive the experience through nightmares or flashbacks that they cannot control or stop (Watkins et al., 2018). The individual may also feel intense sadness, anger, or fear while estranging from those around them. For a diagnosis of PTSD to arrive at, the individual has to have been exposed to trauma which may be firsthand or indirect (Watkins et al., 2018). Some of the symptoms of PTSD include intrusive, involuntary memories about the traumatic event, avoidance of reminders about the trauma, changes in moods and cognition, and irritability (Watkins et al., 2018).

 

Reflections

 

In this case, one of the main learning points was comorbidity. Comorbidity is the presence of more than one disorder in one patient (Auerbach et al., 2019). I learned that it is not rare for individuals to be diagnosed with more than one mental health disorder. One of the major challenges with comorbidities is getting an accurate diagnosis because of the overlap of symptoms the patient may present with (Auerbach et al., 2019). Treatment can also be challenging because an intervention for a specific disorder may have unintended effects on other disorders in the individual. In this case, one of the ethical considerations is patient autonomy (Shobassy, 2021). The patient is convinced that he should change his medications and is aware of their advocacy rights. However, the patient is also below 18 years old, which may mean that he is not capable of making such decisions on his own. In addition, he is accompanied by an adult, his grandmother, whom he accuses of having verbally, emotionally, and physically abused him in the past. A legal consideration linked to the issue of patient autonomy would be to determine what the state laws say about such a case. In some states, older adolescents have some autonomy rights (Shobassy, 2021).

Case Formulation and Treatment Plan:

The patient should continue taking olanzapine 10mg nightly. In addition, they should take Effexor 75 mg while continuing with Wellbutrin 100 mg daily. The patient should be scheduled for a follow-up appointment to evaluate how he responds to the changes in his prescription and if he is still experiencing adverse drug reactions. The patient should continue taking venlafaxine in the clinic appointment and begin bupropion taper. The patient should be started on Latuda 20mg, taken once daily during the same visit. The patient and his grandmother should monitor the medications for any side effects. In the case of an emergency, the patient or the grandmother should visit the hospital or contact 911. In order to ensure the patient and the grandmother have understood the treatment plan, they should both verbalize it. Care Across The Lifespan I Assignment

Evaluating Culture From the Nursing Perspective

This week, we will examine a case study about smokers in Poland. As noted in the Center for Global Development and Jassem, Przewozniak, & Zatonski (2014), prior to 1989, Poland had the highest rate of smoking in the world, with three-fourths of all men aged 20–60 smoking every day at a rate of 3,500 cigarettes per person per year. It should be noted that 30% of all women smoked every day, as well. This behavior resulted in a life expectancy of about 60 years due to the highest rates of lung cancer in the world and all-time high levels of smoking-related cancers and cardiovascular and respiratory disease.

To prepare for this Discussion, you will be required to read Case 14 by the Center for Global Development and complete readings in Stanhope and Lancaster.  Evaluating Culture From the Nursing Perspective Assignment

By Day 3

Post your response to the following:

  • What happened to change the culture of smoking in Poland?
  • Understanding that we all have bias when discussing health issues and precipitating factors, what social and political factors allowed cigarette smoking to become a part of the Polish culture?
  • Reflecting on your own practice, how do you overcome cultural bias? Do you find it more difficult to deal with some groups than others? How do people use the cultural information that they learn about others? Do you think this leads to stereotyping? Does cultural knowledge influence or change your practice and interaction with others?

Support your response with references from professional nursing literature.

Notes Initial Post: This should be a 3-paragraph (at least 350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations. Utilize essay-level writing practice and skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Avoid quotes; paraphrase to incorporate evidence into your own writing. A reference list is required. Use the most current evidence (usually ≤ 5 years old). Evaluating Culture From the Nursing Perspective Assignment

Episodic/Focused SOAP Note Template

 

Patient Information:

Initials, Age, Sex, Race

S.

CC (chief complaint) a BRIEF statement identifying why the patient is here – in the patient’s own words – for instance “headache”, NOT “bad headache for 3 days”.

HPI: This is the symptom analysis section of your note. Thorough documentation in this section is essential for patient care, coding, and billing analysis. Paint a picture of what is wrong with the patient. Use LOCATES Mnemonic to complete your HPI. You need to start EVERY HPI with age, race, and gender (e.g., 34-year-old AA male). You must include the seven attributes of each principal symptom in paragraph form not a list. If the CC was “headache”, the LOCATES for the HPI might look like the following example:

Location: head

Onset: 3 days ago

Character: pounding, pressure around the eyes and temples

Associated signs and symptoms: nausea, vomiting, photophobia, phonophobia

Timing: after being on the computer all day at work

Exacerbating/ relieving factors: light bothers eyes, Aleve makes it tolerable but not completely better
