[Solved] Patient Begins Experiencing Frequent

Case Study #1 – Cardiac

 This case study is meant to be completed individually.  Please place questions and answers into a Word document and upload into the drop box when complete.  APA formatting is not necessary, but you must cite your work and avoid copy/pasting from any source…paraphrase!

Mr. Jones is a 52-year-old obese man with a medical history of gastric reflux and degenerative arthritis.  He arrives at the emergency department with his wife. They had been to dinner and a movie. During the movie Mr. Jones began experiencing excruciating chest pain that radiated to his jaw and left arm.  He appears short of breath and diaphoretic. He reaches the registration window when he suddenly collapses. The nurses place him on a stretcher. He has no pulse, and the monitor reveals ventricular tachycardia.  He was successfully converted to sinus rhythm after one minute of CPR and one defib/shock at 300 joules.

Mr. Jones regains consciousness after his rhythm converts.  He has a blood pressure of 130/92, a heart rate of 112, and a respiratory rate of 24.  O2 is immediately started at 3 liters/minute. Three 18 g IV’s are started, lab work is drawn (CPK-MB, Troponin, CBC, PT, PTT, type and screen & Chem 21) and a 12-lead EKG is preformed. He still complains of chest pain (8/10) and nausea. Sublingual NTG 1/150 gr is given.  The 12-lead EKG reveals sinus tachycardia, a PR interval of 0.24, and 3 mm ST-segment elevation in leads V2, V3, & V4. 

After being admitted to the CCU Mr. Jones complains of chest pain continuing at 8/10. Mr. Jones is given IV morphine 4mg and a nitroglycerin gtt.  This drip was started 10 mcg/min and titrated up every 3-5 minutes until the pain was relieved at 50 mcg/min.  His blood pressure drops to 84/40.  He is pale and diaphoretic.  He is prepared for a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and taken to the cardiac cath lab.

Questions

  1. What classic signs and symptoms did Mr. Jones experience which would indicate myocardial infarction (MI)? What are the specific pathophysiological reasons for each of these signs and symptoms?
  2. What ECG changes indicate myocardial injury? According to the ECG, which coronary arteries were experiencing occlusion and subsequently what area of the heart was being affected? (List the type of change and the coronary artery most often associated with changes in V2, V3, and V4.
  3. What are three things the nurse can do to speed up the time between admission and intervention? 
  4. How is a heparin drip calculated and what is the nurses’ role in maintaining this medication?
  5. If the blood pressure drops while the patient is receiving nitroglycerin, should the nitro be shut off completely?
  6. Why is morphine the drug of choice for cardiac pain?
  7. With this type of MI, an intra-aortic balloon pump may be inserted.  What are the two main functions of the IABP?
  8. What are three differences between CKMB’s and Troponin blood tests?
  9. After the angioplasty and stent placement, Mr. Jones is admitted to the CCU for monitoring.  What are the nursing considerations and assessment priorities for a patient with an arterial sheathe in place?
  10. Once admitted to the CCU, what nursing diagnosis would be the top priority? (The diagnosis must include the “related to” and “as evidenced by”). 
  11. After angioplasty, the patient begins experiencing frequent PVC’s.  What does this indicate and what should be done about it?
  12. If the patient begins to experience chest pain post angioplasty, what is the first thing the nurse should do?
  13. Patient teaching should consist of education about risk factors and lifestyle modifications.  What are three things the nurse could teach Mr. Jones about prior to discharge?
  14. Mr. Jones is going to be discharged on Plavix, Lopressor, Zocor, and Aspirin.  List one teaching point for each of these medications.
  15. Discuss the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) Synergy Model and how this concept would be important in this patient’s care.

[Solved] Every Year Schools Receive

[Solved] Every Year Schools Receive

 

As educators it is our job to ensure we are reaching all students  regardless of abilities, race, sex, religion, gender, etc. Every year  schools receive end of year data from the county and/or state  assessments given at various points during the school year. This data is  then broken down into subgroup data (race, abilities, socioeconomic  status, language, etc). Highly qualified educators use this information  to plan activities that will help to bridge the gaps between these  groups. Unfortunately, the gaps for some subgroups continue to grow each  year. Some of this can be attributed to lack of funds but others can be  in how educators teach various groups. 

In order to be an  effective educator, you must be able to look beyond any hidden or  personal biases that you don’t know you even have. Many times these are  things that have been ingrained in you since a child. Read the article  to learn more about Hidden Biases and how these impact your interactions with others.

One of the most prevalent biases we have is related to gender. Review the following articles before you begin this assignment. 

  1. The Gender Gap: Boys Lagging 
  2. Why Schools Are Failing Our Boys 
  3. Why do girls lose interest in STEM 
  4. The Black-White Achievement Gap 

After  reading the articles, you will visit a store of your choice that sells  toys (or website). Browse the aisles (or website) and make a note of  different forms of gender bias. The following items are some of the  things that you should observe

  • How are the aisles labeled? How do you know where the boys’ and girls’ sections are? 
  • Which sections are larger? 
  • What types of toys are in each section? List the exact names of toys. 
  • What colors are used? 
  • What type of lettering is used? Jagged edges or smooth edges? What would this suggest?
  •  What type of language do you observe on the packaging? Indicate what types of verbs are used for boys and for girls? 
  • Cost? 
  • How many males and females appear on the box covers? Pick one aisle and count them.
  • How are women portrayed? How are men portrayed? 
  • What do the toys promote? Violence, communication, friendship, competition, learning, global knowledge, parenting skills? 
  • What careers are associated with the toys? 

Upon  completion of this research, you will use what you have learned to PLAN  a lesson targeted at kindergarten through third grade on gender  acceptance/diversity.  Here is a short list of books  that  you can use or you can research one on your own. Once you have selected  the book, create an extension activity that could be used with the  targeted age group. Remember worksheets are not developmentally  appropriate!
