NURS4000 Community Case Part 1: Communicable Disease: Tuberculosis

Bradley Buchanan presents to the neighborhood nurse-run clinic with shortness of breath, a
persistent cough with blood-tinged sputum, recent weight loss, and night sweats. On initial
assessment, the client has a fever of 101.4°F and pain in his chest. His other vital signs are as
follows: pulse 98 beats per minute; respirations 26 per minute; blood pressure 110/76 mm Hg;
height 68 inches; and weight 140 pounds. Mr. Buchanan is 45 years old. He is employed as a
dishwasher at a local restaurant and lives at the local shelter with his wife, who is 8 months
pregnant, and his 13-year-old son. Mr. Buchanan is concerned that if he cannot go to work, he
will lose the family’s only income. At this point, although Mr. Buchanan’s signs and symptoms
and his purified protein derivative test results seem to indicate that he may have tuberculosis, the nurse must pursue further confirmation of the diagnosis. NURS4000 Community Case Part 1: Communicable Disease: Tuberculosis

Questions for students:

1. What would be the nurse’s next action?
a. His results and symptoms indicate that he has tuberculous. The RN is going to
recommend treatment, prevention, and screening for the rest of his family. This is
imperative so to protect those exposed in both the shelter and the school that this
family attends.
2. Should the nurse do any testing on the client or his family?
a. Yes, because if he does have TB then the those that he is closest to are likely to be
infected through the air. The family lives at a shelter which exposes many more
people, so he definitely needs further assessment and education. Shelters are
known to breed TB due to the conditions of living in close quarters, which can
easily spread the TB.

NURS4000 Community Case: Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Management

Case Part 1
An F2 tornado touches down on the edge of Johnson County without much advance warning
from the National Weather Service. The Johnson County disaster preparedness plan is
implemented, but it has not been tested for over 3 years. There seems to be some confusion at the
command center on who may be in charge due to changes in personnel since the last test of the
disaster preparedness plan. Nurse Judy and nursing student Madison arrive at the command
center to volunteer, but they have to wait for some time to receive their assignment. NURS4000 Community Case: Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Management

Questions for students:

1. What are the main components of a disaster plan?
oAn Incident Resource Center has four sections. The Incident Command System
was created for more effective disaster management. Nurses should understand
the components of ICS, which consist of the planning section, operations section,
finance and administrative section, and a logistics section. For example, assisting
in developing strategy and supervising resources such as personnel would be the
responsibility of the operations section.
2. What are the phases of disaster management?
oAn example of the preparedness phase would be a town keeping the tornado
alarm checked and tested once per month during the peak season.
oThe prevention phase would include identifying community risk factors along
with developing and implementing the plan.
oThe response phase begins immediately after the incident occurs.
oThe recovery phase happens when the area starts the process of rebuilding and
restoring aspects of the community. NURS4000 Community Case: Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Management
3. Who implements a community disaster plan? How often should a community disaster
plan be reviewed and tested?
oThe Department of Homeland Security was organized to coordinate security,
protection, and disaster response through one federal department. Specifically, if a
tornado outbreak happened then the federal response would be coordinated and
implemented by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA
the part of DHS that responds to natural disasters.

The ARC is a private entity that
will also respond, but it is not controlled by the federal government. A community
disaster plan should be reviewed and tested twice per year.
4. What are the differences between natural and man-made disasters?
Man-made disasters such as bioterrorism agents often have signs and symptoms
that mimic common complaints like flu symptoms, and therefore can spread
subtly and quickly. Whereas a natural disaster can be more obvious and abrupt,
such as a tornado, tsunami, or an earthquake. There is also a difference in the
impact on survivor’s mental health after a man-made disaster. There are several
factors that result in severe and lasting psychological effects. One key factor on
mental health includes if the disaster was caused by human intent, also known as
a man-made disaster.
5. How would you address the confusion at the incident command center?
oWithin the ICS, encourage planning, awareness, and preparedness of staff
involved in response. Everyone should keep up to date with the agency’s
emergency response plan. There are different roles for a nurse when preparing for
a response plan. The plan will give guidance including the roles of team members,
responsibilities, and mechanisms of reporting depending on the type of disaster.
Therefore, there is a joint effort in reacting to the disaster instead of just waiting
on orders.

  Introduction This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop a presentation for a local community organization, which provides an overview of ethical standards and relevant policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of ethical issues and policies related to the coordination and continuum of care, and will empower you to be a stronger advocate and nursing professional. Preparation It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health: Ethical Decision Making activity prior to developing the presentation. The activity provides a helpful update on the ethical principles that will help with success in this assessment. Scenario Your nurse manager at the community care center is well connected and frequently speaks to a variety of community organizations and groups. She has noticed the good work you are doing in your new care coordination role and respects your speaking and presentation skills. Consequently, she thought that an opportunity to speak publicly about contemporary issues in care coordination would be beneficial for your career and has suggested reaching out to a community organization or support group to gauge their interest in hearing from you, as a care center representative, on a topic of interest to both you and your prospective audience. You have agreed that this is a good idea and have decided to research a community organization or support group that might be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues related to the coordination of care. To prepare for this assessment, you may wish to: Research your selected community organization or support group.

This allows them to provide safe, patient-centered care and improve patient outcomes.

For this NURS 4030 Assessment 1 assessment:

  • Describe your role as a baccalaureate-prepared nurse supervising clinical staff nurses with regard to communication and collaboration in locating evidence for application to a nursing practice scenario.
  • Compile a list of five online databases or other online sources (that is, websites, journals, facility policies or guidelines, et cetera) that can be used to research evidence to apply to this scenario or clinical practice issue/diagnosis and describe to which of these you would direct a nurse colleague to search for evidence.
  • Describe where you might go in the work place to complete this research and how you would access the desired, relevant research within research databases or other online sources.

Be sure to address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will know what is needed for a distinguished score. NURS-FPX4030 Assessment 1 Locating Credible Databases and Research Instructions
