Case Study Module 8

Instructions: Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions. Please provide
evidence-based rationales for your answers. APA, 7th ed. must be followed.

Due: Saturday by 23:59 pm

CASE STUDY: Active Labor: Susan Wong

Mrs. Wong, a first-time mother, is admitted to the birthing suite in early labor after
spontaneous rupture of membranes at home. She is at 38 weeks of gestation with a history of
abnormal alpha-fetoprotein levels at 16 weeks of pregnancy.

She was scheduled for ultrasonography to visualize the fetus to rule out an open spinal defect
or Down syndrome, but never followed through. Mrs. Wong and her husband disagreed about
what to do (keep or terminate the pregnancy) if the ultrasonography indicated a spinal
problem, so they felt they did not want this information.

Reflective Questions

1. As the nurse, what priority data would you collect from this couple to help define
relevant interventions to meet their needs?

2. How can you help this couple if they experience a negative outcome in the birthing

suite? What are your personal views on terminating or continuing a pregnancy with a
risk of a potential anomaly? What factors may influence your views?

3. With the influence of the recent Human Genome Project and the possibility of

predicting open spinal defects earlier in pregnancy, how will maternity care change in
the future?

  2. Operationally, which hospital is performing better? Why?
  3. Do you think the nonprofit hospital is meeting its community benefit obligations in exchange for its tax-exempt status? Explain.

Response TO WEEK 8 DISC

/in /by

PLEASE RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING IN 50 WORDS OR MORE:

My thoughts on trends in nursing have shifted a bit since week 1. A topic I addressed was nurse-to-patient ratios and how they are incompatible with providing the best care to patients. Although that issue still proves to be a problem, I feel more informed on the causes and effects of this trend. I’ve learned about legislative and environmental factors that come into play. Funding for institutions is limited and in order to address this issue properly, we must be informed and have background knowledge of the people we are appointing who make the decisions to allocate health care funds. Also, being more inclusive when giving positions in higher departments would be helpful. Nurses should have access to take on more leadership roles to be able to be involved in decision making. Nurses have first hand knowledge on what is needed on the floor. They understand the resources needed and they also can advocate for nurses who come from different backgrounds or have different levels of expertise. All in all, I have a better understanding of why this problem exists and also the ways in which we could actively rectify the situation.
