Case Study 4:
You are an RN and work in a community mental health clinic in Sydney. The clinic you work in primarily specialises in adolescent mental health and receives many referrals from the justice system of mentally ill, troubled or disordered minors who have gotten in trouble with the law. As part of their court orders they are usually required to undergo professional treatment and counselling. You are part of the multidisciplinary team which delivers this care.
As part of the multi-disciplinary team, you work along side a social worker, Justin. Justin’s primary role within the health clinic is to work with teenagers who do not have a diagnosed psychiatric disorder but who come from troubled backgrounds, usually involving trauma, family breakdown and abuse. Justin’s role is to develop strategies of re-integrating individual troubled youths back into their own social networks, schools and employment while establishing support networks, behaviour management strategies and education and career prospects. Justin is widely known for his skill in this field, has been the recipient of many awards and scholarships in his field, is highly regarded in the justice system and has demonstrated positive outcomes where other specialists have been unable to. He is often referred overly complex cases due to his skill in this area.
At many work social functions you have gotten to know Justin’s wife Sarah. Sarah is a linguist who teaches languages in private tuition, though mostly she is a stay at home mum. You have developed a nice friendship with Sarah though she always remains reserved. At the work Christmas party, you see that Sarah has arrived, so you start talking to her. Sarah confides in you that wants to separate from Justin but she is scared to as he is aggressive and violent, and she is afraid of the damage it will do to their two children – a six-year-old and a ten-year-old. Sarah tells you that Justin often hits the boys when he is angry, particularly the ten-year-old who Justin has recently punched in the face.
You mention to Sarah how concerned you are for her safety and suggest that she go to the police for support. Sarah tells you that she cannot go to the police, because if Justin’s abuse is reported he will no longer be able to work with children and young people, he will lose his credibility with the justice system and he will most likely lose his job. She is relying on Justin’s job to provide child support money so that she can afford to look after the children when she leaves him. If Justin loses his income, then Sarah won’t be able to afford to separate from him and she and her children will be required to stay with him. Sarah begs you not to tell anyone, and says that she has told you this in confidence. Sarah tells you she doesn’t want anyone else to find out, as she doesn’t want the information to get back to Justin and for him to find out that she is planning on leaving him until she knows she can leave safely without fear of being hit.
The next time you see Sarah is later that week at the supermarket. She has bruising to her throat and neck which she is trying to hide with a scarf, and their ten-year-old child has bruising to his nose and around his eye.

In: Nursing
Sarah, a forty-nine-year-old Anglo woman, visits her physician
complaining of weight loss, sweating, listlessness, and flu-like
symptoms (fever, headache, scratchy throat, generalized body ache).
After checking her history the physician notes that Sarah is
married, has four children, and no previous history of chronic
illness. Her weight has decreased 15 pounds over the past three
months and she presents with a temperature of 101 degrees F, a
slightly elevated pulse (85 beats per minute), normal blood
pressure (112/78 mm Hg), and slightly labored breathing. Sarah has
a negative family history of cardiovascular and respiratory
diseases. All of her family members are living and are free of
cardiovascular or respiratory diseases. Sarah does not smoke and is
current on all immunizations. She does report that she developed
these symptoms a few days after visiting a friend whose son was
home with a cold. After a chest X-ray and physical examination of
Sarah’s ear, nose, and throat, the physician confirms the diagnosis
and prescribes bed rest, aspirin, and a nasal decongestant. The
physician also cautions Sarah from returning to her normal
activities until she has been afebrile for a minimum of 24 hours.
Sarah’s condition continues to worsen such that a week later she
returns to her physician’s office. She has pain on the left side of
her chest, is coughing more frequently and her sputum has a yellow
color. Her respiratory rate is 32 breaths per minute and her
breathing is labored. Her blood pressure is unchanged and does not
demonstrate postural changes. Breath sounds indicate inspiratory
rales and a chest X-ray indicates a dense infiltrate within the
lungs. Physical examination reveals lymphadenopathy. The physician
suspects pneumonia and orders laboratory tests on Sarah’s blood and
sputum. The results of the sputum tests indicate the presence of
gram-positive diplococci and polymorphonucleocytes that are too
numerous to count. What concerns the physician, however, are the
results of Sarah’s blood test. Her blood tests indicate leukopenia,
anemia, and thrombocytopenia. In addition, the differential
leukocyte count indicates that the concentration of helper T cells
has decreased. The physician now suspects that Sarah has been
infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and that she
has developed pneumonia as a result of the immune suppression. In
reviewing her history, the physician notes that Sarah has been
married for the past 30 years and does not admit to any
extramarital affairs. She has not received any blood transfusions
or blood products and does not use intravenous drugs. She is a
self-employed certified public accountant and has not visited any
countries with high incidences of HIV infection. Upon further
discussion, Sarah does mention to the physician that she and her
husband were separated a few years ago for approximately 6 months
as a result of his extramarital affair. The physician asks Sarah if
he can run another test to determine whether or not she has
contacted HIV and asks Sarah to talk to her husband about being
tested for HIV as well. The physician also begins treating Sarah
for pneumonia that has developed and asks her to return the next
day for the results of the HIV test.
The next day Sarah and her husband return to the physician’s office
and the physician confirms that the enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent
assay confirms that Sarah is HIV positive. The physician does
mention that a second more sensitive test will be conducted to
confirm this finding, however, he is doubtful that the result will
indicate a false positive in the first test. Her husband admits to
having numerous extramarital affairs with both women and men and
consents to a blood test to determine his HIV status, which
subsequently is positive. The physician then discusses the
replicative cycle of HIV, the concept of a retrovirus, and
treatment options with both Sarah and her husband. Sarah
immediately starts on a regimen of protease inhibitors and
nucleoside analogs (azidothymidine, AZT, and ddI). In addition, the
physician discusses with Sarah and her husband the necessity of
practicing "safe sex" even though both are HIV positive and the
importance of not exposing themselves to opportunistic diseases. In
addition, he mentions that some of the drugs they will be taking to
minimize viral replication may cause nausea. He cautions them to
take all medications as scheduled and to return to his office at
the first sign of any disorder. He also reiterates that this
disease can not be transferred by casual contact, but can be
transferred through an exchange of body fluids (blood, semen, and
vaginal secretions). Answer the following questions about this
case.
1. Why was HIV not initially considered as a possible cause for the
symptoms Sarah presented with?
2. Why did Sarah’s symptoms worsen and develop into
pneumonia?
3. Identify the specific types of leukocytes and the function of
each cell.
4. Why does HIV specifically affect one type of leukocyte?
5. Why can protease inhibitors and nucleoside analogs be used in
minimizing the replication of the HIV virus?
