Case Study(1)
A 53-year-old gentleman with a background of asthma on long-term low dose inhaled corticosteroid inhaler had an acute exacerbation of his asthma in February 2020 triggered by a viral upper respiratory tract infection and acute sinusitis and was managed with bronchodilator nebulization and a 7-day course of oral prednisone 30 mg daily. He made an uneventful recovery and proceeded to travel to Austria. During his stay in Austria, he had a high fever, sore throat, dry cough, severe wheezing, worsening dyspnoea and he was not feeling any better and had ongoing fever and cough

2.what is the graphical representation of observed values of a control material over time in the context of the upper and lower control limit.
3. in hyperlipidemic and hyperproteinemic samples, excess lipids and protein displaces plasma electrolytes which leads to a falsely decreased measurement of ionic activity in millimoles per litter of plasma. (true or false)
4. is the ability of a method to detect only the analyte it is designed to determine.
5.biosecurity is-
6. The number of control values enough to set up a Levey-Jennings control chart
7. accuracy is-
8.precision is-

14. the ISEs are the most routinely used method in clinical laboratories in analyzing serum electrolytes. (True or false)

A 67-year-old, moderately obese woman examined today for
increasing back and left shoulder pain. Limited circumduction of
left arm noted in comparison with right arm. Strength of left arm
is less than right, with less muscle definition in the left arm.
Examination of back indicates significant kyphosis, and the patient
states that she is ‘shrinking.’ Bone density testing of the hip is
ordered.”

2. When the patient arrives, the nurse correlates the “kyphosis”
with what physical finding? What causes kyphosis in the older
adult?
3. How should the nurse explain the patient’s decreasing
height?
4. What is the rationale for ordering bone density testing of the
hip in this patient?

As the community health LPN, you have received a referral for a 39-year old Indonesian lady for staple removal, post-op emergency cholecystectomy. Upon arrival to the home, you observe broken glass around the entrance of the basement apartment and note it is in desperate need of repairs. One of the windows has been boarded up and the step has a board missing and the wood looks rotten. The client answers the door, carrying a 2-year child on her hip and 2 older siblings, ages 5 and 7 are standing behind her. The children are all noted to be dressed in several layers of clothing. Upon entering the home, you note the home feels quite cold and damp. The only furniture you can see is a small table, two chairs and a mattress on the floor of the only bedroom. There is no visible toys, books, or TV. In communicating with the client, you detect a thick accent and she speaks in broken English. She informs you that she is doing ok; however, the family is struggling financially since they arrived in NL from Indonesia 1 year ago. Her husband is working at the local gas bar part time. The client states "I try get groceries cheap but that hard". " I like NL but miss my home country. (I talk to my family every month". I get job but need more education. My son he needs medicine but we no money. My husband has bad cough, he always tired and no taste no more." I attend my church online and meet 2 ladies from my home country. One lady wants to teach me how make masks. She tells me I think take English course by our church.

3. Who should be included in the interprofessional care team for this client?
4. How can the LPN provide culturally appropriate care?
• How can LPN’s working in community ensure they are empowering families to meet their own needs?

Critical Thinking Activities
Read each clinical scenario and discuss the questions with your
classmates.
Scenario A
As a student, you have several tasks to complete. There is an Anatomy and Physiology test in 4 days. You just collected the library materials you need for a comprehensive paper due in 1 week. A 50-page reading assignment needs to be completed for a lecture the day after tomorrow.
1. How would you organize to accomplish these tasks?
2. In what order of priority would you place each of these tasks? Explain why you placed each task in the order chosen.
Scenario B
Your clinical area does not have sphygmomanometers (blood pressure cuffs) on the wall by each patient; portable ones are used. You need to take 8 am vital signs (temperature, pulse, respiration rate, and blood pressure) quickly, and there is no portable unit available right now. How would you solve this problem?
Scenario C
Your clinical assignment is for:
M.H., age 72; diagnosis: pneumonia
F.S., age 52; diagnosis: leg ulcer
J.P., age 78; diagnosis: abdominal hernia repair
1. It is 9:45 am. If J.P. needs to be ambulated three times a day, M.H. needs his antibiotic given at 10 am, and F.S. needs her dressing changed this morning, in what order would you do these tasks?
2. How did you make this decision?
