Traumatic Brain Injury Care Report

Scenario

The charge nurse in your clinic has contacted you to assume primary care for a patient and develop a plan for follow-up care. The plan should be personalized for him based on evidence-based research provided by a community expert as well as your own research on the condition. You will also be challenged to determine which aspects of the traumatic brain injury (TBI) approach could be applied to similar situations and patients. Traumatic Brain Injury Care Report

Your Role

You are a nurse who has been requested to provide primary patient care, including a follow-up care plan. You will revisit the interview with the community TBI expert and prepare a personalized health plan for the patient.

  • Review relevant evidence-based research from 3–5 additional scholarly or professional sources about traumatic head injuries to support your evaluation, recommendations, and plans.
  • The following requirements correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide, so be sure to address each point:
    • Evaluate the expected outcomes of the population health improvement initiative (PHII) that the community expert reported based on the data.
      • Describe the outcomes that were achieved, their positive effects on the community’s health, and any variance across demographic groups.
      • Describe the outcomes that were not achieved, the extent to which they fell short of expectations, and any variance across demographic groups.
      • Identify the factors (for example, institutional, community, environmental, resources, and communication) that may have contributed to any achievement shortfalls.
  • Propose a strategy for improving the outcomes of the PHII for traumatic head injuries.
    • Describe the corrective measures you would take in the PHII to address the factors that may have contributed to achievement shortfalls.
    • Cite the evidence (from similar projects, research, or professional organization resources) that supports the corrective measures you are proposing.
    • Explain how the evidence illustrates the likelihood of improved outcomes if your proposed strategy is enacted.
  • Develop a personalized patient care plan for the patient from the scenario that incorporates lessons learned from the PHII outcomes.  Traumatic Brain Injury Care Report
    • Identify a personalized care approach that addresses the patient’s:
      • Individual health needs.
      • Economic and environmental realities.
      • Culture and family.
    • Explain how the lessons learned from the PHII informed the decisions you made in your personalized care plan for the patient.
    • Incorporate references to the best available evidence from the population health improvement initiative and other relevant sources.
  • Identify the level of evidence and describe the value it brings to personalizing care for your patient.
    • Identify the level of evidence for each resource you reference.
    • Explain why each piece of evidence is valuable and appropriate for the community health issue you are trying to address and for the unique situation of your patient and his family.
  • Propose an evaluation strategy to assess the outcomes of your personalized care approach.
    • Identify measurable criteria that are relevant to your desired outcomes.
    • Explain why the criteria are appropriate and useful measures of success.
    • Determine the specific aspects of your approach that are most likely to be transferable to other individual cases.

Peripheral Vascular Disease

Peripheral Vascular Disease

Case Studies

A 52-year-old man complained of pain and cramping in his right calf caused by walking two blocks. The pain was relieved with cessation of activity. The pain had been increasing in frequency and intensity. Physical examination findings were essentially normal except for decreased hair on the right leg. The patient’s popliteal, dorsalis pedis, and posterior tibial pulses were markedly decreased compared with those of his left leg. Studies Results Routine laboratory work Within normal limits (WNL) Doppler ultrasound systolic pressures Femoral: 130 mm Hg; popliteal: 90 mm Hg; posterior tibial: 88 mm Hg; dorsalis pedis: 88 mm Hg (normal: same as brachial systolic blood pressure) Arterial plethysmography Decreased amplitude of distal femoral, popliteal, dorsalis pedis, and posterior tibial pulse waves Femoral arteriography of right leg Obstruction of the femoral artery at the midthigh level Arterial duplex scan Apparent arterial obstruction in the superficial femoral artery Diagnostic Analysis With the clinical picture of classic intermittent claudication, the noninvasive Doppler and plethysmographic arterial vascular study merely documented the presence and location of the arterial occlusion in the proximal femoral artery. Peripheral Vascular Disease

Most vascular surgeons prefer arteriography to document the location of the vascular occlusion. The patient underwent a bypass from the proximal femoral artery to the popliteal artery. After surgery, he was asymptomatic. Critical Thinking Questions 1. What was the cause of this patient’s pain and cramping? 2. Why was there decreased hair on the patient’s right leg? 3. What would be the strategic physical assessments after surgery to determine the adequacy of the patient’s circulation? 4. What would be the treatment of intermittent claudication for non-occlusion?

Assignment 2: The Pathophysiology Of Disorders

During the last 5 weeks, you have explored various body systems: neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, and hematological. These four systems work together, along with other body systems, to complete a myriad of functions. For this reason, when disorders occur within one body system, it can have potentially devastating effects throughout the entire body. For instance, Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system, yet its alterations actually affect multiple body systems, from the cardiovascular system to the gastrointestinal system. In this Assignment, you examine alterations associated with disorders as well as the impact of the alterations on multiple body systems. Assignment 2: The Pathophysiology Of Disorders
