Assignment: Asthma and Stepwise Management
Asthma is a respiratory disorder that affects children and adults. Advanced practice nurses often provide treatment to patients with these disorders. Sometimes patients require immediate treatment, making it essential that you recognize and distinguish minor asthma symptoms from serious, life-threatening ones. Since symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, advanced practice nurses must also help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate management options. Like many other disorders, there are various approaches to treating and managing care for asthmatic patients depending on individual patient factors.

Scenario
You are a home health nurse who has been seeing P.C., who was diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer approximately 1 year ago. She has been treated with radiation and chemotherapy; however, her provider recently informed her that her cancer is no longer treatable because it has spread to her bones and liver and that the focus of her treatment will change from curative measures to symptom relief. She is confused and somewhat bewildered. She vaguely remembers the term palliative treatment when discussing her situation with her provider but doesn't know what it means.
1. How would you describe palliative treatment?
CASE STUDY PROGRESS
P.C. confides that she has never formally written down her wishes concerning what types of treatments she would or would not want. You advise her to complete an advance directive and/or living will or to complete a medical durable power of attorney and/or a surrogate decision maker form. In current practice, it is very likely that a part of the home health intake process will be completion of a Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) Paradigm form.

3. What health care decisions are considered in these documents?
4. How are advance directives and living wills formalized?

answer this question?
6. You inform P.C. that you will help with symptomatic control of her illness. Outline four areas
of care you will focus on.
7. As P.C. becomes frailer and incoherent, how will her treatment be given?
CASE STUDY OUTCOME
P.C. discusses her wishes with her family and completes the documents describing what she would like her plan of care to be over the remainder of her life span. She passes away peacefully 7 weeks later in her home, supported by her family and friends, under her terms.
