A 61-year-old male is admitted to the hospital for resection of his sigmoid colon and rectum, following discovery of a mass in the sigmoid colon by his physician during a flexible sigmoidoscopy. The patient originally complained of bright red blood in his bowel movements. He reported no significant gastrointestinal symptoms other than the bleeding. He denies any change in his functional capacity. His maximum weight was 167 lb (75.9 kg) at age 46 years.

In the past 2 months before admission, his appetite improved and he gained 5 lb (2.3 kg). On physical examination, there is no evidence of subcutaneous tissue loss, muscle wasting, edema, or ascites.

Real Life Clinical Reasoning Scenario - Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus ISBAR.

The patient is a 92-year old male who was just admitted to your med/surg unit through the ED for dehydration, hypokalemia, and gastroenteritis of unknown etiology. His past medical history indicates that he has had COPD for 26 years. His COPD has been characterized by a mixture of emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and reactive airway symptoms. 8 years ago he developed right-sided HF, and after a knee replacement 5 years ago his HF became bilateral, and he developed atrial fibrillation. He has HTN, chronic renal insufficiency, and Type 2 DM. His meds include: 3 inhalers - tiopropium, salmeterol/fluticasone, and albuterol prn; and the following PO meds - digoxin, furosemide, warfarin, prednisone, theophylline, lisinopril, metoprolol, metformin, and glipizide. Upon admission his VS were P 108, RR 32, BP 98/52, T 99, and O2 sat by pulse oximetry 90% on room air. He is oriented, but states he is too tired to answer questions. Lung sounds diminished bilaterally, extra heart sounds noted, bowel sounds hyperactive and high-pitched. His wife states he has had approximately 12 loose BMs in the last day, and that this is the third day of severe diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.

He also had the following diagnostic results:

Citing practical examples from the clinical setting, explain Henri Fayol’s fourteen (14) Principles of Management     

Guidelines for Case Management: Objectives: The main aim of this activity is to provide the student interpersonal and social responsibility by answering the questions in the assignment that is related in some issues concerning nursing leadership and management. Instruction: Read and understand the case situation regarding conflict management in the healthcare setting. Based from the below-mentioned criteria in resolving conflicts, create a conflict management and resolution document using a case study format. Please see attached rubrics for details. Case Situation: Workplace Violence in the Nurses Station Carlo is a newly-hired staff nurse at King Fahd Hospital of the University (KFHU). He is assigned in the Male Medical Ward, which is situated in the 3rd floor. Carlo had been in the area for less than six (6) months. Despite of being the newest addition to the roster of staff nurses in the ward, he was handling the most difficult cases in the area and increase number of patients per shift compared to other staff nurses on duty. Carlo never complained of the situation. Instead, he decided to keep silent and continue what he is doing. One day, Carlo had an argument with Marvin, his senior staff nurse on duty, about Carlo being the favorite of their unit manager and supervisors because he often gets good working schedules and been receiving a lot of excellent feedback from both the nurse managers and patients. After their confrontation, Marvin started creating malicious and negative issues towards Carlo. Since the staff nurses were convinced of Marvin’s wrong accusations and comments, they have started to dislike Carlo and been throwing unnecessary comments and jokes about him up to the point that Carlo had been the subject of their laughing stock verbally and through their social networking account like Facebook and Twitter. Carlo was outcasted every shift. He was alone all the time and started to be demotivated about his work. In 2 weeks’ time, Carlo had been absent five (5) times and been late most of the time, which is very unusual to him because he is known to be the early bird among the staff nurses in the ward. After a month, Carlo submitted a letter to the unit manager asking for a transfer of area or if not he will just resign from the hospital. If you are the unit manager of the Male Medical Ward, how would you respond with this kind of issue of workplace violence particularly with nurse bullying? Questions: 1. Based from the above-case situation, identify and define the main problem and/or main issue? 2. What are the relevant information that needs to be addressed that would help resolve the conflict in the area? 3. In addressing the issue, identify all the contributing factors & connecting relevant information required to solve the issues in the case. 4. In mitigating this case scenario, generate hypotheses & construct sound and coherent arguments related to the solving of the case problem(s). 5. Among all the alternatives you think of resolving the conflict, weight the alternative that will give the most impact and rank the best three (3) accordingly. Justify advantages of each alternatives. 6. If you will be the unit manager, how will you manage and resolve this conflict based from the alternative resolution presented above? What are your possible course of action (COA) and recommendations in this kind of workplace violence?
