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. Your relative questions the medications she is receiving and the nurse replies "these are what the doctor ordered" while again looking at his phone screen before leaving. Your relative states she doesn't think she should be getting one of the pills she was given. 1) How has communication between patient and health care provider been negatively impacted? 2) What would have been a more appropriate way in which the nurse communicated that the patient did indeed receive the proper medication?
