Client Profile

Baby Martin was born via a normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (NSVD) at 36 weeks gestation. The mother arrived at the emergency room dilated to 9 centimeters and 100 % effaced. The mother also reports ruptured membranes for the past 22 hours. The fetal heart rate upon admittance to the emergency room is 170 bpm. The mother delivered in the emergency room 30 minutes after being examined. This is her seventh pregnancy, and she did not have prenatal care.

Case Study

Martin was admitted to the observation nursery from the emergency room where he was born. He weighed 5 pounds and was 19 inches long. His APGAR scores were 6 at one minute, and 8 at five minutes. Points were initially taken off for tone, reflexes, and color. His initial glucose was 35 and vital signs were heart rate 150, respirations 76, and temperature 97.2. The nurse noted some nasal flaring, grunting, and coarse breath sounds. He was given 1 ounce of D5W orally; oxygen therapy, and his skin and pharynx were cultured. The orders also included that he be placed on a warmer with skin probe for temperature monitoring.

At two hours the baby's glucose was 40, the nasal flaring continued, respiratory rate was 100 with continued coarse breath sounds. He exhibited acrocyanosis, and his temperature was 96.8. The baby was treated for transient tachypnea of the newborn with oxygen therapy and a warm environment.

At four hours the nurse noted that the baby was lethargic and difficult to arouse. He appeared pale with circumoral cyanosis, nasal flaring, and grunting with sternal retractions. The nurse notified the doctor, an IV was started, and the baby was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit at a hospital in the next town.

At six hours the mother called the NICU to check on his progress and was told that he had subsequently developed jaundice and was on a ventilator.

Questions

2.List the progressive signs of respiratory distress exhibited by this infant after birth.(explain)

3.List the risk factors that existed for infection.

There is a lot of published information about genetic polymorphisms and their affect on the metabolism of therapeutic drugs. Despite our understanding of how polymorphisms interact with and affect metabolism of drugs, many physicians, medical associations, and even the Food and Drug Administration are skeptical about allowing the use of this information to inform patient treatment.

As a Molecular Technologist, you have been asked to come up with an idea (eg. information / training / experience that current medical students should have that might make them less hesitant to use pre-treatment molecular diagnostic examination with their future patients. Give one specific idea be creative

Ms. Reid is a resident from a long-term care facility who recently had a minor surgical procedure done at the hospital. Prior to surgery, Ms. Reid was ambulatory and somewhat self-sufficient. Upon return to the home, the evening nurse reads the report from the hospital which contains the following information: Vital signs, condition of surgical dressing (on left hip), and reports that the patient has been eating well. Ms. Reid is alert upon arrival.

During the night, Ms. Reid falls when walking to the bathroom. When you come in for the morning shift you are concerned that Ms. Reid is not able to walk as she was before the surgery. There are no notes about her change in status on the chart or in the shift change report.

Using course material and other relevant resources, including Best Practices and Leadership actions and standards, provide a meaningful answer to the following:

  1. What was the adverse event in this case? Why did it occur?

  1. As a team leader, how would you use this event to promote safety education with staff?

  1. What recommendations for change would you make to improve a culture of safety at the LTC facility?

  1. What professional safety standards, guidelines and laws should the staff know to ensure high quality care for this patient?

Instructions

Vaccine-Preventable Diseases

Influenza is a virus that can be easily spread from person to person and kills thousands of people each year. Healthcare workers are at risk of exposing themselves to infectious diseases from patients and material and therefore can also potentially transmit these diseases to others. Preventing and controlling the spread of vaccine preventable diseases in the health care setting is vital to ensure proper infection control practices should an outbreak occur. As such, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) strongly recommend vaccination of health care workers.

You are a public health researcher. You have been asked to identify a vaccine-preventable disease and create a 10- to 12-slide presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint on a research design. Your research design should focus on determining why health care workers are not receiving the vaccination for your selected vaccine-preventable disease in their place of employment.

The presentation should also include the following:

  • Researched and identified the disease to create a research plan
  • An introduction and synopsis of the selected disease
  • History of the public health issue or disease
  • Social or behavioral antecedents related to the disease
  • Epidemiological relevance of the disease
  • Proposed research design
  • Sampling plan
  • Strengths and weaknesses of chosen research design

AFAF IBRAHIM MELEIS: TRANSITIONS THEORY

Sue Kim, 49 years of age, emigrated from South Korea to the United States 6 years ago. Her family came to the US to educate their children and moved in with family members in Los Angeles.
Sue and her husband graduated from a top-ranked university in South Korea, and her husband also had a master’s degree in business. However, their English skills were not adequate for them to get jobs in the United States. Instead, they opened a Korean grocery store with the money they brought from South Korea, and they managed to settle down in Los Angeles, where a number of Koreans are living.
They have two children: Mina, a 25-year-old daughter who is now the manager of a local shop, and Yujun, a 21-year-old son who is a college student. Both children were born in South Korea and moved to United States with Sue. The children had a hard time, especially Mina, who came to the United States in her senior year of high school. However, the children finally adapted to their new environment. Now, Mina is living alone in one-bedroom apartment near downtown, and Yujun is living in a university dormitory.
The Kim’s are a religious family and attend their community’s protestant church regularly. They are involved in many church activities. Sue and her husband have been too busy to have regular annual checkups for the past 6 years.
About 1 year ago, Sue began to have serious indigestion, nausea, vomiting, and upper abdominal pain; she took some over-the-counter medicine and tried to tolerate the pain. Last month, her symptoms became more serious; she visited a local clinic and was referred to a larger hospital. Recently, she was diagnosed with stomach cancer after a series of diagnostics tests and had surgery; she is now is undergoing chemotherapy.
You are the nurse who is taking care of Sue during this hospitalization. Sue is very polite and modest whenever you approach her. Sue is very quiet and never complains about any symptoms or pain. However, on several occasions, you think that Sue is in serious pain, when considering her facial expressions and sweating forehead. You think that Sue’s English skills may not allow her to adequately communicate with health care providers. Also, you find that Sue does not have many visitors -only her husband and two children.
You frequently find Sue praying while listening to some previous songs. You also find her sobbing silently. About 2 weeks are left until Sue finishes chemotherapy. You think that you should do something for Sue so she will not suffer through pain and symptoms that could be easily controlled with existing pain-management strategies. Now, you begin some preliminary planning.

QUESTIONS:
1. Consider the patterns of response that Sue is showing. What are the indicators of healthy transition(s)? What are the indicators of unhealthy transition(s)?
2. Reflect on how Transitions Theory helped your assessment and nursing care for Sue.
3. If you were Sue’s nurse, what would be your first action/interaction with her? Describe a plan of nursing care for Sue.
