Decide what you would do in each of the following situations:

1.     Mary Thompson calls the office. She thinks her husband may be having a mild heart attack but he thinks it's heartburn. You are alone in the office. What should you do?

2.     John Ransom arrives with what appears to be a broken wrist. The physician is in an examing room with another patient.

3.     You are alone in the office but the physician should be arriving in about 15 minutes. Diane Sanchez calls and states that she has been having severe daily headaches. What should you do?

4.     Melissa Green shows up without an appointment. She tends to be a bit of a hypochondriac, always thinking something is wrong when she is perfectly healthy. Today she is complaining of severe pain in her lower right abdomen. The physician is with a patient in an exam room. What should you do?

5.     Mr. Anderson comes in for a routine blood sugar check and promptly faints in the Reception Area. The physician and nurse are busy suturing a cut on a patient. You and the insurance biller are the only ones in the front office. What should you do?

6. (Worth 5 points) This was an actual interview question given by a local medical center. Imagine trying to answer this during the stress of an interview! Many interviews now include scenario questions, but this is the most involved one I've ever come across. List the steps you would take in handling this situation:

Your employer has been delayed at the hospital but is expected in the office in 15-30 minutes. You are the only employee in the office. The following people are in your Reception Area:

Mrs. Smith who is with her 2 year old grandson.

Mrs. Jones who has come in for a routine injection.

Mr. Green who is a new patient.

Mr. Johnson who is there for a consultation.

The phone rings and it is Jane Simmons calling in a panic because her four-year-old son has swallowed some kitchen cleaner. While you are talking to her the door to the office opens and in staggers Mr. Franklin. He gasps that he has been "shot by a thief" and collapses on the floor. Seeing the blood coming from Mr. Franklin's chest Mrs. Smith faints. Her grandson starts crying.

How would you handle this situation?

1. You are a nurse preparing to receive a new patient, fresh from surgery, to your unit. The patient is a 71-year-old man who underwent a surgical repair of a fractured femur. As you receive a report from the postanesthesia recovery unit, you learn that his medical history includes hypertension, 40 pack-years of smoking, and COPD. His surgical repair was successful but complicated by excessive bleeding, and he is receiving IV fluids to compensate. He is widowed, and his three children are scattered throughout the United States. He lives alone, receives Meals on Wheels, and pays a cleaning service to keep his home clean. (Learning Objective #6)

HCOs are strongly oriented toward healing the sick, one person at a time. The first word of the body of this chapter—“patient”—is consistent with that tradition. Consider the following reasons for seeking care:

• Your grandmother, well into her eighties, wants a checkup. She has many of the limitations of age—her hearing, eyesight, and mobility are not what they were, and she has diabetes.

• Your father, 55, has acute chest pain that started a half hour ago and seems to be getting worse.

• You (or your partner) might be pregnant.

What constitutes an excellent result for each of these events? What care teams and clinical support teams are likely to be involved? How do the strategic teams help the clinical teams achieve excellence? If the HCO delivers that excellence, what other factors would be important to continued good health?
