Stage 3: Your daughter is now 6 years old and is coming in for a MicKey GT for supplemental feedings overnight to help increase her weight gain. She has become a bit more independent with her ostomy and is able to help with emptying the bag into the toilet. She no longer pulls at the bag or wafer but has a nice cover over it to “keep her friend warm” and calls it her poop collector friend. We have told her that she is getting a feeding friend to keep the poop collector friend company as she tends to get lonely when she is in school. Your nurse needs to provide preop education and preop teaching about surgery and what to expect after surgery, as she will be going to surgery this afternoon. She is very hungry and keeps asking you why she cannot eat or drink anything. You also need education on the Mickey, care of the tube, and tube feeding. Your other questions are below:
1. How long in surgery? ___________________________________________________________________

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.
