Parents bring their 3-month-old infant to the urgent care you work at, complaining that he has had constipation for 5 days that was preceded by weakness for several weeks. Upon physical exam, you note hypotonia, hyperreflexia, and respiratory distress. You advise the parents you believe the child needs to be admitted to hospital and taken immediately to the local pediatric emergency room. 1. The parents ask you why you are so concerned and tell you they would prefer you to give him something for the constipation. They would rather just take him home. How would you respond? 2. The parents persist that they do not think their son needs to be admitted to the hospital. As a clinician, you believe they are making the wrong decision and are concerned for the infant's health. What alternatives might you consider to ensure the parents understand the gravity of their decision?

Case Study - outcome identification and planning
You are a nurse admitting a patient to the hospital from the emergency department (ED) with shortness of breath and recent weight loss. After receiving a report from the ED nurse, you ready the patient’s room according to unit specifications and collect the necessary equipment and forms. When the patient arrives, she is using oxygen via a nasal cannula and seems to be comfortable. As you begin your admission activities and paperwork, you note that her shortness of breath slightly increases as she answers your questions. Accompanying the patient is her daughter, who comments, “This is the fourth time she’s been admitted to this hospital in the past year.” The patient and her daughter demonstrate a close, loving relationship. The daughter not only encourages her mother but also sets boundaries regarding her mother’s anxiety.

Your elderly family member is hospitalized with pneumonia and upon entering the floor to visit ,you see the nurse standing outside with a medicine cart, texting on their phone. The nurse enters the room leaving the phone on the cart which proceeds to silently vibrate every few minutes. Every so often you can see the RN read the screen while retrieving medications from the cart. The nurse is very polite and discusses how busy it is with an increased patient workload due to the flu being so bad. He proceeds to explain that his son is home with the flu and keeps checking in to discuss his fever and how he feels.
