Describe two historical events that have influenced the development of ethical codes and regulations for nursing and healthcare research. Explain how each event has impacted ethical codes and regulations.

A 24-year-old male college student was presented at the ESU health clinic. He looked tired and pale. He presented because of a high fever and chest pain. He was afraid he was having a heart attack (a bad week of exams). He was examined immediately by the PA and an EKG strip was run. He had no evidence of acute heart problems. The attending physician visited the patient. He obtained the following history from the past 36 hours. The patient had a tight cough. He had significant muscle aches and pains. He had a bad headache and a fever of 101-103F.

The physician ordered a chest x-ray. It did not show any significant consolidated inflammation suggestive of pneumonia. The patient showed significant nasal drainage and a moderately tight, but productive cough on physical exam. He had a fever of 101F and generally inflamed mucous membranes. A rapid Strep test showed no evidence of Streptococcal infection and his tonsils and adenoids had been removed.

1. What type of infection do you believe he has? what microorganism is causing this disease?

2.  From the complaint and physical examination, which of the symptoms lead you to your choice of agent? how did you come to that conclusion?

3. From the history, which of the information confirmed your choice? What is the treatment for this illness/disease?

4. Which of the following is most likely to follow this infection? How did you come to that solution of the treatment? In other words, why is it that treatment?

 

Please reference and cite and also keep both studies separated and numbered! And keep the answered questions and explanation together, about a paragraph for each question. thank you!

Case study 6

 

A 70-year-old patient with Alzheimer’s disease was brought to the emergency room by the staff of a local nursing home. He presented as lethargic with a sallow complexity. He had an admission temperature of 102.4F and a respiratory rate

of 33/minute. During respiration, the right side of his chest moved better than the left. He showed dense consolidation of the lower lobe of the left lung on physical exam. A sputum sample revealed blood and a greenish color.

A chest x-ray showed tight consolidation of the left lung with evidence of formation of cavities in the lung tissue from cytotoxic damage. The patient complained of chills in the exam room, combined with his fever. A smear of his

sputum demonstrated no acid-fast bacteria.

I am discussing the implementation of my chosen project plan for a chosen population- which is the development of a home hospice within my healthcare organization for our end-of-life patients. The question is: Articulate your vision of interagency coordinated care for this population. Consider how you would organize and consolidate care for this population.

I am stuck on how I would “consolidate” care
