History of Intermittent pleuritic chest pain

/0 Comments/in /by

Ms. X, a 32-year-old Hispanic woman, has had a history of intermittent pleuritic chest pain and joint pain for the past several years. Recently, she went to her physician because she noticed that an erythematous, butterfly-shaped rash had appeared on her face. Further lab tests indicated protein in her urine.

Her blood test indicated the presence of numerous antinuclear antibodies, especially anti-DNA, and mature neutrophils containing nuclear material. A diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was made. (Refer to Chapter 7, Immunity) Questions:

1. Lupus can mimic other conditions, and the condition manifests itself differently in each individual. What are some differential diagnoses that might be investigated and would need to be ruled out based on Ms.X’s symptoms before making the diagnosis of lupus?

An Epidural catheter inserted for pain management

/0 Comments/in /by

A 67-year-old client had an epidural catheter inserted for pain management following a total knee replacement. After successful treatment of an episode of hypotension in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), he was transferred to the medical-surgical unit. The registered nurses assessed the client and delegated direct care to an LPN, although the LPN denied this.

 

Three hours later, the client experienced nausea and vomiting. The client was found cyanotic and unresponsive 10 minutes later and subsequently died of anoxic encephalopathy. Many facts were disputed among the numerous codefendants and there was poor documentation (Nurses Service Organization, 2012).

  1. What priority assessments were missed, and how could this have been avoided?
  2. What steps of the nursing process were done inappropriately or missed completely, and why?
  3. What steps of the delegation were inappropriate, and why?
  4. What could have been done to prevent this outcome?

Provide a discussion response that includes each of the following prompts:

 

  1. What is the accessibility of the disaster plan for the unit? Describe how you were able to locate it.
  2. Briefly explain the downtime process for your unit during a disaster.
  3. What is the role of the nurse in the disaster hazard that you have chosen? How is the nurse’s role different from the nurse manager’s role? Explain the response.
