Self Reflection and Clinical Evaluations 

Self Reflection and Clinical Evaluations

For this week’s activity, reflect on your clinical experiences this semester. Was there an example of an experience that you feel impacted your growth as a student nurse to become a nurse in the future? The experience can be positive or negative, what was the take back from the entire experience. Reflections should be a minimum of one page.

PATIENT DIAGNOSED WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

CASE SCENARIO OF A PATIENT DIAGNOSED WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS On June 18, 2021 at 4:30 in the afternoon a 45-year-old woman named Maria came to the hospital due to her long-term neurologic issues. The patient describes how she had noted substantial alterations in neurologic functioning for many years, specifically heat intolerance, which resulted in a faltering stride and a tendency to fall. Over the course of several years, her visual acuity seemed to fluctuate as well. The patient was working very hard and was under a lot of stress two months ago. Her neurologic state deteriorated after she became ill with the flu. She couldn’t grasp anything in her hands and had substantial tremors, and was extremely tired at the time. She suffered a few serious falls as well. She had experienced arthralgia on the right and then the left side of her body since then. After several days of employment, the patient acquired an acute right hemisensory impairment. At the time, an MRI scan revealed multifocal white matter pathology, defined as areas of elevated T2 signal in both cerebral hemispheres. A spinal tap was also performed, which revealed oligoclonal bands in the CSF. With delayed conduction in the optic nerves, visual evoked response testing was abnormal. As of this moment, the patient is still weak and numb on her right side, has impaired urinary bladder function that necessitates numerous empties in the mornings, and suffers from nocturia three times a night. She developed incontinence and now requires the use of a pad during the day. She also experiences recurrent balance issues and a spinning sensation, as well as being excessively tired. The patient shows difficulty for aspirating both liquids and solids. She has a persistent tinnitus that is connected with hearing loss and is more prominent on the left side. She has diminished finger dexterity and hand weakness on both sides. She also has short-term memory problems and is irritable. The doctor orders an IV infusion of D5LR 1000 mL to infuse over the next 8 hours. The IV set delivers 15 gtt/min. FAMILY HISTORY The aeg had a history of high blood pressure, cancer and heart disease. PAST HISTORY The aeg verbalized that she experienced mumps and chicken pox as a child. Later in life, she had anemia and allergies with hives. A tubal ligation was also performed on her. NEUROLOGIC EXAMINATION In the arms, deep tendon reflexes are +2 and symmetrical, whereas at the ankles and knees, they are +3. Extensor toe signs on both sides are visible On sensory examination, there is paresthesia to touch on the right side, as well as diminished pin sensation on the right side. In the distal lower extremities, the patient experiences modest vibratory sensory loss. Romberg’s test is negative. The attending physician order the following medications Decadron 0.5 mg PO every 6 hours for 48 hours Avonex 30 mcg IM once a week Baclofen 5 mg PO three times per day. Diazepam 10 mg PO 2 times a day. Urecholine 50 mg four times a day. WRITTEN OUTPUT 1. Illustrate the pathophysiology of the case (Illustrate it in a Diagram form) a.    Book-based pathophysiology b.    Patient-based pathophysioloy 2. Formulate ONE nursing care plan (USING NCP FORMAT) based from the problem identified. problems identified.

Nursing languages attempt to capture everything a nurse does in order to represent the care given and then link nursing interventions to patient outcomes.

Nursing languages attempt to capture everything a nurse does in order to represent the care given and then link nursing interventions to patient outcomes. Think about your last clinical experience. Take one patient encounter where you provided care and try to capture what you did for the patient. This might be an intervention (turning the patient) or just talking to the patient. Take this encounter apart to examine every step you took, from looking at the patient (a form of assessment) to placing the call light within reach. I want you to be specific. Part 2: What were the desired outcomes for each of your interventions? Part 3: How do you know the interventions had the desired effect? Think about outcomes. Relate all of this back to having a nursing language in place through computerized documentation. How does having a standardized nursing language in the computerized charting help support high quality, safe patient care? How does having a standardized nursing language make your interventions and the patient’s outcome from the care searchable in the documentation? Why is this important?

Renal Solute Load

Tammy is nursing her baby, but she has been having some breast discomfort and is struggling since going back to work. Pumping is just not working, and she wants to convert to formula feeding. She tells you that she and her husband done extensive research and think that they found the best formula option, which is “really reasonably priced” compared to the store-bought options. They would like your advice on this formula before they switch.
The formula provides the following:
Protein 20g per 500 mL
Na 150 mg per 1000 mL
Cl 9 mEq per 1000 mL
K 14 mEq per 250 mL
P 4 mEq per 1000 mL

  1. Calculate the Renal Solute Load. Show all your calculations. (1pt for each solute = 5 pts)
  2. Is this formula is safe/unsafe for their infant and why. (1pt )
