case study

SV is a 45 year old woman who was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes 5 years ago. She has not been back to her doctor since then. She decided to return at this time because of chronic fatigue and blurry vision. Her A1c level is 8.3%, Triglycerides are 275mg/dL. Her height is 5’4” and her body weight is 175# (BMI is 30). She states that she hasn’t returned for any follow-up visits because the only advice she gets “is to lose weight and not eat sugar”, neither of which she is able or wanting to do.

How should you deal with her negative feelings about food/meal planning?
What are possible initial educational topics?
What are short term nutrition strategies to get her started?
How can continued education and counseling be planned and provided?

Fetal heart rate changes in labor
Renee is a 22 year old G2 P0 at 42 weeks of gestation in active spontaneous labor. Her pregnancy has been complicated by mild hypertension, but no medications were needed. She is 4 cm/100/0 station, vertez
position. Her membranes have just ruptured, and there is thick meconium staining. She is comfortable and using epidural anesthesia.
1. What risk factors are present that may impact the way this fetus tolerates labor?
2. The fetal heart rate shows a rate of 140, moderate variability, no accelererations, and decelerations to 120 beginning after the peak of most contractions and recovering to baseline 30 seconds after the contraction ends. Contractions are every 4 minutes. How should the nurse describe this pattern?
3. What should the nurse do at this point?
4. Renee is now 8/100/0. She has the above actions that you put in place. The fetal heart rate is 145. There is moderate variability. Accelerations are not present. There are decelerations in the fetal heart rate beginning at the onset of a contraction, descending to 120 with recovery by the end of a contraction. The contractions are every 3 minutes now. How would the nurse describe the fetal heart reate pattern now?
5. Renee is now completely dilated and +1 station. She has been instructed to push with every contraction. The fetal heart rate is now 164.

Discussion Topic: Minimum 250 words, Questions are on the bottom and are in bold letters.

Mr. Antieau, 47 years of age, was playing basketball in a driveway with friends one summer evening when he suddenly felt nauseated and light-headed.

“I sat out a few on the porch, thinking things would get better,” he says, “but then I got a sharp pain in my chest and shoulder.” This pain, predictably, became severe enough that his friends rushed Mr. Antieau to the emergency department. Mr. Antieau was subsequently diagnosed with, and treated for, myocardial infarction (heart attack).

“It has been a slow and difficult recovery,” Mr. Antieau says, “but I’m determined to make big changes.” Today, as part of his recovery plan, he is meeting with Doug, a dietitian’s nurse, who will help him establish healthy eating patterns in compliance with the lifestyle changes outlined for him by his cardiologist and the dietitian Doug works for.

Doug begins with an intake interview to find out not only Mr. Antieau’s physical needs, but also his attitudes toward food in general.

“I’ve always told my friends that if I have to die young, let me do it with a bucket of spicy fried chicken wings and a chocolate shake,” he says now, “but the day I had my first heart attack, it scared that attitude right out of me. I had my first heart attack at 47 years, and I don’t want another.”

Mr. Antieau’s recovery plan focuses on a graduated exercise program and a healthy eating plan to lower his triglyceride level, his sodium intake, and his blood cholesterol level and keep them low.

“I’m nervous,” he smiles, “especially because the guys at work, we all go to our favorite Chicago pizza place for lunch maybe three times a week, and eat those famous Chicago red hots at least once a week. And since my wife and I both work, we always joke that we know dinner is almost ready if we see that the first one home has already opened the telephone book to our favorite Chinese delivery joints, and know that the crab Rangoon with sweet-and-sour pork is on its way!”

He laughs, then shakes his head. “But yeah. I’m ready. Really.”

  1. “My wife’s sister is skinny as a rail,” Mr. Antieau says, “and she says she always has great low blood cholesterol. She says it’s from eating salmon twice a week, plus spinach and walnuts every day. Will this work for me? I mean, will it prevent another heart attack?” How should Doug answer?
  2. Mr. Antieau arrives at his next visit with a big smile on his face. “I finally figured it out, Doug!” he says. “All I have to do is eat just the unsaturated and monounsaturated fats, right?” What does Doug need to explain?
  3. Mr. Antieau says, “I can give up the pizza—sort of—and the hot dogs, but my wife and I really enjoy our ‘Chinese food nights.’ For us, it’s more than just stuffing our faces. Rather, we always make a whole event of it. We rent a movie and then curl up together eating right out of the cartons with chopsticks. It’s sort of the romantic appeal of the whole event that I’m really going to miss.” How might Doug help Mr. Antieau and his wife keep their “Chinese food nights.”
