Medication Error Scenario Event Description Ellie, an 85-year-old nursing home patient, was admitted to the hospital for hip replacement surgery following a left hip fracture. She has a history of cognitive impairment and congestive heart failure. Her admission vital signs were normal. Ellie’s daughter provided an admission history for the nurse. The daughter informed the nurse that she did not have a written list of medications, but could remember all prescribed medications and dosages. The nurse asked the daughter to provide a written medication list to the nursing staff next time she visited. A medication reconciliation form was completed that included an order for Lasix 20 mg. as well as a number of other medications. All medications were verified with the hospitalist on call and entered into the electronic health record. Unfortunately, the patient’s daughter gave inaccurate information to the admitting nurse. Her mother was actually prescribed Lasix 40 mg daily. Additionally, the daughter forgot to provide a written medication list to the nursing staff. Ellie’s surgery was eventful in that she experienced significant blood loss during surgery. Ellie’s daughter was visiting her mother on the first day post-op when the staff nurse was giving medications to Ellie. The nurse scanned the patient’s identification band and medication, and explained she was administering Lasix 20 mg. Her daughter informed the nurse that the medication color was different than her mother received at home. The nurse verified the order and told the daughter that she is to receive Lasix 20 mg. Ellie was weighed on the second day post-op with a noted 3 lb. weight increase from admission. The weight was recorded in her chart with an indication that a call would be placed to Ellie’s physician. Orders were received: Give Lasix 40 mg now and continue daily weights; call physician for weight gain of 2 lbs or more. Continue to monitor Complete Blood Count (CBC). On the fourth day post-op, the patient’s hemoglobin and hematocrit were noted to be above normal and the physician ordered 1 unit of packed Red Blood Cells (RBCs) to be administered intravenously along with Lasix 40 mg also intravenously. The physician’s orders were written at 09:00am; the IV was initiated at 10:00am, but the ordered medications were not administered yet. Ellie’s nurse was delayed in delivering the packed cells since no IV Lasix was available and an emergency occurred with another patient. At 3:00pm Ellie had not yet received packed RBCs and it was noted she was experiencing extreme difficulty breathing and extreme swelling. Her vital signs were well above normal with a Blood Pressure of 190/110 and Heart Rate of 120. Her lungs were assessed and were moist with crackles throughout. The nurse initiated the rapid response team. The attending physician was called. The physician ordered Ellie to be transferred back to the hospital from the nursing home. While awaiting the ambulance, Ellie went into cardiac arrest and could not be resuscitated.

Public Health Problem II: Examine the association between health provider burnout and hospital re-admissions. Hypothesis: Health care provider burnout increases the likelihood of hospital re-admissions for patients

This will be a retrospective cohort study to determine if there’s a correlation between provider burnout and an increase likelihood of hospital re-admissions for patients
we will measure instances of patient readmissions with a group of hospital providers that are staffed appropriately and with an abundance of resources vs a group of providers who are overwhelmed, understaffed and under resourced

Consider the scenario below, then follow the instructions underneath it to complete the discussion. If appropriate, support your position with credible resources/examples/evidence and provide APA references.

Mr. B

Mr. B, a 70-year-old male client, presented to his primary care physician with complaints of blurred vision and headaches over the last two months. On several visits, Mr. B's blood pressure was found to be elevated, so the physician started him on hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg by mouth daily. One month later, Mr. B began to have chest pains and shortness of breath, so his primary care provider referred Mr. B to a cardiologist for further evaluation.

The cardiologist ordered an echocardiogram and stress test which revealed heart enlargement and a reduced ejection fraction (volume of blood pumped out of the heart per minute). As a result, the cardiologist started Mr. B on a beta-blocker (metoprolol 25 mg by mouth daily).

A few days after taking the new medication (in addition to the hydrochlorothiazide ordered by the primary physician), Mr. B suffered a fall at home. Upon arrival at the emergency room, Mr. B's blood pressure was 80/50. The emergency room physician suspected the cause of Mr. B's fall was hypotension secondary to the medications he was taking. The ER physician recommended that Mr. B follow up with his primary care physician and cardiologist, but hold the medication until seen by them.

As recommended, Mr. B visits his primary care physician for a follow-up. During the visit, Mr. B's blood pressure is found to be elevated (160/90), so his physician tells Mr. B to restart taking his blood pressure medication.

Imagine that you are the nurse attending to Mr. B and that he indicates that he's afraid to restart the medication because of his recent fall.

  1. What considerations/actions should the nurse make regarding the client's refusal to restart his blood pressure medication?
  2. What considerations/actions would have helped the healthcare team to prevent the client's fall?

Mr. D

Mr. D is a 90-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital with complaints of nausea, vomiting, left arm pain, and chest pain. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is performed, and he is diagnosed as having a myocardial infarction.

Mr. D has a long history of comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes, and congestive heart failure (CHF). With this in mind, the physician asks Mr. D if he wants life-sustaining measures taken (e.g., CPR, mechanical ventilation, etc.) should he experience cardiopulmonary arrest.

Mr. D tells the physician that he wants all measures taken to save his life.

Imagine that you are the nurse assigned to provide care to Mr. D, and address the following:

  1. Considering Mr. D's advanced age, what are the benefits/risks associated with providing life-sustaining measures?
  2. What factors should you consider based on the Mr. D's age and health history?
  3. If Mr. D were your family member, how would you respond to his decision?
