Diagnosis – Subluxation of Radial Head

Diagnosis – Subluxation of Radial Head

A 5-year-old boy presents to your clinic with a 1-day history of refusing to use his left arm. His father states that his son and his older sister were cared for by a babysitter the previous day.

The babysitter said she had been playing with the children in the front yard when the patient ran after a ball that was rolling toward the street. She grabbed the patient’s left forearm and pulled him away from the street. Thereafter, the patient was irritable and holding his left arm close to his body with the elbow in a flexed position.

On physical examination, the child has no bony tenderness, erythema, or swelling of the joints, but on passive motion, the child resists and cries in pain. Today, his vitals are as follows: weight 40.5 lbs, height 43.0 inches, BP 110/76, HR 100, RR 26, and Temperature is 98.6 F.

 

  • Provide 3 differential diagnoses for subluxation of the radial head, with ICD 10 code
  •  Review of systems ( what symptoms the patient is stating they have based on subluxation of radial head and case scenario.).
  • Objective/physical examination- What are the findings as a nurse you will find in a patient with Subluxation of Radial Head, also see case study information to include.
  • Labs: what labs will you do for this patient and why. What results do you have for this patient with Subluxation of Radial Head?
  • Studies/Radiology: what types of study and radiology will you have and what are the results.Include NATIONAL
  • CLINICAL GUIDELINES: List the guidelines you will use to guide your treatment and management plan, Include 3 from reliable sources within 5 years.
  • TREATMENT & MANAGEMENT PLAN: include for Subluxation of Radial Head detail with medication treatment to take.
  • A follow-up appointment with a detailed plan for f/u and any referrals for the patient with Subluxation of Radial Head

Hypochromic microcytic anemia

A 7-year-old male was referred to the school psychologist for disruptive behavior in the classroom.

The parents told the psychologist that the boy has been difficult to manage at home as well. His scholastic work has gotten worse over the last 6 months and he is not meeting educational benchmarks. His parents are also worried that he isn’t growing like the other kids in the neighborhood.

He has been bullied by other children which is contributing to his behaviors. The psychologist suggests that the parents have some blood work done to check for any abnormalities. The complete blood count (CBC) revealed hypochromic microcytic anemia. Further testing revealed the child had a venous lead level of 21 mcg/dl (normal is < 10 mcg/dl).

The child was diagnosed with lead poisoning and it was discovered he lived in public housing that had not finished stripping lead paint from the walls and woodwork. How does lead poisoning account for the child’s symptoms?

Nursing literature

Instructions

The literature review is key to any research study or article development. It is important to review the literature within your own discipline, but also other disciplines which may confront similar issues or have related concerns. For example, practice issues in other health-related fields often correspond to those confronted in nursing. Nursing education concerns may also be found in academic research within other disciplines outside of the healthcare field.

What is the purpose of conducting an organized literature review?
How will you approach this aspect of your research?
What literature other than nursing literature do you feel may offer useful information?
How might you incorporate these ideas into your proposal?
Provide an example of a piece of literature that supports your topic and provide a brief summary of the article.

Healthcare quality problem

Instructions
Think about a healthcare quality problem of which you are aware. This can be a problem you have encountered as a nurse or it can be a potential problem you know about/are interested in.
Write a paper, 3-4 pages in length (not including title page and references) addressing the following:
a. How does the problem relate to the IOM’s six domains of healthcare quality?
b. Describe how teamwork, collaboration, and a culture of safety may impact or prevent the problem.
c. Explain what the concept of “just culture” means to you. Have you experienced a just culture in your place of work, past or present?

Use at least 3 reliable references (e.g. scholarly articles, documents produced by professional organizations). Format your paper using current APA guidelines.IOM’s Six domains are:
Safe: Avoiding harm to patients from the care that is intended to help them.
Effective: Providing services based on scientific knowledge to all who could benefit and refraining from providing services to those not likely to benefit (avoiding underuse and misuse, respectively).
Patient-centered: Providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.
Timely: Reducing waits and sometimes harmful delays for both those who receive and those who give care.
Efficient: Avoiding waste, including waste of equipment, supplies, ideas, and energy.
