Provision of Care

Purpose

Based on the competency standard 2.2: Provision of Care. Provides skilled safe, holistic, and culturally competent nursing care to clients, families, community, and society, in collaboration with concerned clients and other healthcare professionals in a variety of healthcare settings1.

The purpose of this case study assessment is to provide you with the opportunity to apply the theoretical information you have received during the subject to a real-life problem.

Structure

1- Identify an example from your clinical practice where the patient and his/her family’s culture was significantly diverse to your own.

2- Critically reflect on challenges (such as different worldviews and social norms) you experienced in caring for this patient and its possible impact on patient care.

3- Describe what were the available resources (policies/guidelines/framework) to help you to provide a high quality of care for this patient and his/her family.

4- Discuss what worked well to overcome the challenges in looking after this patient.

5- Describe what you have learned from providing care for people from other cultures and how would you enhance your own cultural awareness.

6- Discuss any recommendations to overcome the cultural challenges and provide patients with high-standard care.

7- Present your analysis using the structure provided in this   Case Study Template

A useful process for answering a case study is as follows:

  1. Carefully analyze the case: Develop a clear outline of the most significant people/incidents/details; write a short description of the most important aspects of the case, and consider what actions need to be taken for it to be resolved.
  2. Brainstorm: Map out your knowledge of the concepts and theories you have studied throughout your subject and determine which are most helpful for making sense of the case. Jot down ideas and solutions for the key issues.
  3. Focus: Determine the core elements of the case that you will focus on.
  4. Plan and write: Create a plan for your response (essay or report form). Describe the event/issue/situation. Address one key factor at a time integrating evidence from the case and the theoretical sources. Provide recommendations where required.

Conclusion

IV solutions used when pushing IV diazepam

As an RN, you are providing care for a highly agitated patient who has been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and is awaiting transfer to the mental health unit. The provider has ordered diazepam (Valium) IV push as needed to decrease anxiety. You and the senior RN agree that the patient is displaying acute anxiety and requires medication. The senior RN instructs you to “push the diazepam IV” through a port in the IV tube near the insertion site of the needle in the patient’s hand.

You remember from one of your clinical sessions in the ICU that the only IV solutions used when pushing IV diazepam is normal saline, and it should be pushed through a large vein in the arm, not a small vein in the hand. The IV solution currently hanging on the patient is D5W. When you question the procedure that the senior RN has suggested, she says, “Look, this is how we do it here, missy. We are understaffed and do not have the time to switch the IV over to normal saline. When you push it in a port close enough to the IV site, it doesn’t matter what solution is hanging. If you want to work here, that is how you will do it.”

 

QUESTIONS

  1. How should you respond to the senior RN demanding the medication be given with the current solution?
  2. What are the possible consequences of administering the medication this way?
  3. What difficult behaviors is the senior RN displaying?
  4. Provide at least two strategies to communicate and work with the senior RN during this scenario.

Oral anticoagulation therapy

Assignment Scenario

After graduating from nursing school and passing your boards, you accepted a position as an RN in the emergency center at Rasmussen General Hospital (RGH). In the weeks ahead, your emergency center plans to implement a new initiative where clients diagnosed with low-risk deep vein thrombosis (DVT) will be sent home on 3 months of oral anticoagulation therapy with rivaroxaban.

Historically, clients diagnosed with DVTs in the emergency center were admitted to the hospital’s observation unit. However, when surveyed about their experiences, many clients reported that this was costly, time-consuming, and inconvenient. Under RGH’s new program, emergency center nurses will be responsible for educating clients about their new medication and administering the first dose to the client before discharge.

 

As part of this new initiative, all emergency center nurses at RGH must be trained to properly educate these clients on all aspects of their new medication regimen. Because you have demonstrated a keen interest in pharmacology, your manager has asked you to develop educational tools that will be used to train the nurses at RGH.

 

It’s worth noting that the standard dosing for all low-risk DVTs is as follows:

 

  • 15 mg BID, 12 hours apart, for 21 days
  • After 21 days, use 20 mg once per day
  • After 90 days, the client will follow up in the thrombosis clinic to evaluate if they meet the criteria for discontinuing the medication

Define self-care and the benefits of practicing self-care

Scenario

You were provided a scholarship to attend the National Holistic Nursing Conference. During this conference, you participated in a self-care workshop and learned skills to increase self-care.

 

When concluding the day’s activities, the presenters asked you to reflect on your self-care habits and to document that reflection in a one-to-two-page journal entry.

 

Instructions

Write a two to three-page journal entry that addresses the following:

  • Using your own words, define self-care and the benefits of practicing self-care as a student.
  • Describe at least one self-care skill you plan to start using in your daily health practices. Identify which self-care technique you would use and explain how you would begin using this technique. Do you anticipate any barriers to using this new skill?
  • Describe at least one self-care skill you find complicated to implement into your nursing practice and discuss why this approach would be challenging to implement.
  • Please provide detailed and thorough responses. Please also provide the source cited.
