Treatment

Beth is a 23-year-old Asian American graduate student. She is currently in treatment with a psychologist for anxiety. She claims that her cognitive therapy has helped her control her worry and anxiety, but she has noticed that her symptoms have worsened this year with all of the pressures of school. In addition to worry, her mind races at night when she tries to sleep, and she claims it may often take her two to three hours to finally fall asleep. She describes herself as a “type A” person who is rather “anal” about doing well. She worries nonstop about grades but also worries nonstop about her health, money, her parents’ health, and world affairs. She is very insightful about her condition and agrees the worry is excessive and unwanted. She admits that there is really no basis for the worry, as she has a full scholarship, she and her parents are in good health, and she currently has a 3.9 GPA. She claims that she has always been rather tense, but it didn’t get to the point that she sought treatment until her senior year in college. She was worried about getting accepted to grad school and “obsessed” over getting straight A’s. She sought the help of a psychologist at the university counseling service, was placed on Paxil, and began therapy. For the most part, her symptoms disappeared, but she remembers feeling tired during the day.

ts A patient comes into your care and states, " It feels like something is stuck in my eye." He notes that he started to feel it through his shift at work. He tells you that he works in a warehouse, operating a forklift, and when he was moving boxes, there was a lot of dust and it hit his eye. He states, "I know that I’m supposed to wear safety glasses, but those things just fog up and its harder to see." On assessment, his right eye is noted to be erythematous and tearful. He complains of not being able to open the eye as it hurts to open the eye. His medical history indicates diabetes (type 2) and hypertension. He takes metformin 500mg PO BID and amlodipine 10mg PO daily. He has no known allergies. 1. During your assessment, what should be your main focus? 2. What other things do you need to assess besides what has already been stated? 3. What are some immediate interventions that you anticipate will be ordered for this patient? 4. What would be your discharge teaching to this gentleman?

Noting that she was already 2 months pregnant, she went to the health center for consult. She was then referred to Hospital where she was managed as a case of Threatened Abortion. No relief was noted inspite of unrecalled oral medications that were given. She was requested for transvaginal ultrasound, however, this was not carried out since there was no Sonologist available at that time.
6 hrs PTA, the patient had profuse vaginal bleeding and blood pressure dropped to 90/50mmHg from a baseline of 150/90 mmHg. There was also note of   passage of grape-like tissues per vagina. A double IV line was secured, and hydration was done. 1 dose of IV Tranexamic Acid was also given.  When the BP stabilized at 100/60 mmHg, the patient was transferred to our center for further evaluation and management.
The patient is not a known hypertensive, diabetic, nor does she have any chronic illnesses. She has no known allergy to foods and drugs.

Her 5th pregnancy was preterm at 35 weeks and delivered at Hospital. Her LMP was in June 25, 2021. She did not have any check up yet for this pregnancy, although she did home pregnancy test which was positive,  nor was there any intake of vitamins. She was apparently well until she had vaginal spotting.
She is an elementary graduate but remains a housewife to take care of her children. Her husband is a carpenter being employed by a local contractor.
