Glenda Taylor, 67 years old (John’s spouse)

Scenario
History of Present Problem:
John Taylor is a 68-year-old African-American male who was admitted to the MedSurg unit after testing positive for COVID-19 today. Four hours later he got up to use the bathroom and went into acute respiratory distress with increasing O2 needs and decreasing O2 sat. John is transferred emergently to the intensive care unit (ICU). John’s spouse Glenda has not been allowed to visit her husband because of current hospital policy that does not allow visitors for COVID-19 patients.

Current Concern:
Since Glenda has not been updated on John’s change of status, you call Glenda and communicate his critical condition
and his need to be intubated and placed on a ventilator. Glenda is clearly upset and states, “I need to see him! I need to be there! We’ve been married for 48 years and nothing has separated us! He needs me now more than ever!
