CASE STUDY 2

Case Study #2

DKA 

Mrs. S is a 28-year-old patient, with a 12-year history of type I diabetes mellitus. Her husband states that she has had a “bad cold” for several days. Yesterday she stayed in bed and slept all day. She was “too ill” to check her blood sugar, and since she was not really eating, she did not take her insulin. This morning, she was not able to stand up and vomited twice. A Gram stain of Mrs. S’s blood contains gram-positive cocci in clusters. Her admission vital signs are: BP = 90/60; HR = 118 bpm (sinus tachycardia); RR = 32/min; T = 102.3° F; O2 sat via pulse oximetry = 96%. Her serum glucose is 398 mg/dl, and she is positive for serum ketones. She is admitted with a diagnosis of DKA.

Her baseline ABGs on 2 L of oxygen are: pH = 7.25; PCO2 = 28; HCO3 = 14; PaO2 = 92; O2 sat = 96%. Her respirations are deep, rapid, and labored. She has bronchial breath sounds in the right axillary area. There is bilateral chest expansion and no evidence of cyanosis.

A regular insulin bolus is given, and a regular insulin drip is initiated. Mrs. S’s IV fluids are infusing at 800 ml/hr. Her vital signs after 2 hours in the unit are: BP = 120/70; HR = 78 bpm (normal sinus rhythm); RR = 22/min; O2 sat = 100%. Her serum glucose is 250 mg/dl and serum potassium is 4.0 mEq/L. She is more alert and is feeling hungry.

  1. What is insulin’s function in the body? What is the most significant basic defect in the development of DKA?
  2. What is the cause of Ms. S experiencing DKA?  Describe the pathophysiologic rationale for your answer.
  3. List the classic signs and symptoms of DKA. Which signs and symptoms did Ms. S experience? What are the pathophysiologic causes of these signs and symptoms?
  4. What is an anion gap? Why is the anion gap important to follow in the treatment of DKA?
  5. What acid base disturbance is Ms. S experiencing? What compensatory mechanisms are in effect at this time?
  6. What is the primary nursing diagnosis for Ms. S.? What are the goals for treatment (both independent and collaborative)? What interventions are imperative to initiate immediately? What interventions are important within the next 12-24 hours?
  7. What are potential lab abnormalities for a patient in DKA?
  8. What nursing considerations are important in planning Ms. S’s discharge?
  9. Discuss the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) Synergy Model and how this concept would be important in this patient’s care.

 The use of spirituality in nursing practice is not new.  However, it is more studied and utilized in a more structured format in nursing.  Identify and discuss tools used to evaluate spirituality. 

at least 400 words

CAPSTONE PART 1

PAY ATTENTION:  You should  have a specific setting for the population (USE EDERLY PATIENTS) and your intervention should last 8 weeks. Why is there ‘inadequate heart failure management” for patients.

What does the “heart failure management entail? 

Limit the outcomes for your PICOT.

PICOT QUESTION IS ATTACHED

1. Title Page

2. Introduction to your proposed problem: 

– Significance of the Practice Problem: Discuss the identified Practice Problem.

-Introduce the topic of the paper. 

-Describe the health problem. Don’t type “Introduction.”

-Using data and statistics, support your claim that your selected issue is a problem.

– Include your purpose statement and what specifically you will address in your proposed program. 

-Be sure your proposed outcome is realistic and measurable.

3. PICOT- Should be discussed in detail. This section should include your PICOT question but also should provide thorough descriptions of your population, intervention, comparison intervention, outcome, and timing (if appropriate to your question).

The word PICOT is a mnemonic derived from the elements of a clinical research question – patient, intervention, comparison, outcome, and (sometimes) time. The PICOT process begins with a case scenario, and the question is phrased to elicit an answer. P – Patient/Problem I – Intervention C – Comparison O – Outcome T – Timeframe

4. Describe the vulnerable population 

-Discuss the impact of social determinants on health for your selected population.

-What are the risk factors that make this a vulnerable population? 

-Use evidence to support the risk factors you have identified. 

5. Research should be from scholarly journals of evidence-based interventions that address the problem.

-Peer-reviewed research articles not older than five years (all articles must be used in your paper)

6. Proposal 

-Propose addressing the selected health problem using an evidence-based intervention in your literature search to address the problem in the selected population/setting. 

-Include a thorough discussion of the specifics of this intervention which include resources necessary, those involved, and feasibility for a nurse in an advanced role.

-Be sure to include a timeline for the intervention proposed. 

7. Theoretical Framework/Nursing Theory- This section should include the theoretical framework which supports your project. Describe a theory or model to serve as the foundation for your project.

– Overall, you should be able to introduce the problem and why this is significant to the healthcare system. For example: What impact does it have on the patient, community, cost of care, quality of life, readmissions and so forth

-Use appropriate APA 7th Ed. format along with Syllabus outline

-Scholarly, peer-reviewed, and research articles cited should be within the last five years. 

-This section should be 3 pages long (not including the title and reference page).

 -Use proper in-text citations with a properly formatted reference list. 

 -All papers must be written in the 3rd person.

NO MORE THAN 10% PLAGIARISM

USE 3-4 REFERENCES NO OLDER THAN 5 YEARS

THIS COUNT 25 % OF CLASS GO STEP BY STEP CAREFULLY

Format Outline(s)

II. Introduction (
Using Walker and Avant)

a. What is the concept selected-state and define the terms

b. Aims or purposes of this analysis-why are you doing the analysis?

c. Discuss all possible uses of the concept briefly-how is the concept used in different contexts, examples and then how are you using it for this paper

d. Determine the defining attributes-regardless of where it exists, what are the common identifiers that the person has this characteristic

e. Identify a model case-Use the attributes you’ve identified and highlight them in a case. A case that is hypothetical, from a text, or that you have experienced in practice.

f. Identify a borderline case and contrary case-what is a case that is something like the model case, but misses some attributes

g. Identify antecedents and consequences-what happens before the concept instance is identified; what happens as a result of acquiring it?

h. Define empirical referents- how do you know that what you are seeing is really it? How would you measure it? Or know that you are reserving it?

Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Middle-Aged White Male With Anxiety

Middle aged male

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The client is a 46-year-old white male who works as a welder at a local steel fabrication factory. He presents today after being referred by his PCP after a trip to the emergency room in which he felt he was having a heart attack. He stated that he felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and feeling of impending doom. He does have some mild hypertension (which is treated with low sodium diet) and is about 15 lbs. overweight. He had his tonsils removed when he was 8 years old, but his medical history since that time has been unremarkable. Myocardial infarction was ruled out in the ER and his EKG was normal. Remainder of physical exam was WNL.

He admits that he still has problems with tightness in the chest and episodes of shortness of breath- he now terms these “anxiety attacks.” He will also report occasional feelings of impending doom, and the need to “run” or “escape” from wherever he is at.

In your office, he confesses to occasional use of ETOH to combat worries about work. He admits to consuming about 3-4 beers/night. Although he is single, he is attempting to care for aging parents in his home. He reports that the management at his place of employment is harsh, and he fears for his job. You administer the HAM-A, which yields a score of 26.

Client has never been on any type of psychotropic medication.

MENTAL STATUS EXAM

The client is alert, oriented to person, place, time, and event. He is appropriately dressed. Speech is clear, coherent, and goal-directed. Client’s self-reported mood is “bleh” and he does endorse feeling “nervous”. Affect is somewhat blunted, but does brighten several times throughout the clinical interview. Affect broad. Client denies visual or auditory hallucinations, no overt delusional or paranoid thought processes readily apparent. Judgment is grossly intact, as is insight. He denies suicidal or homicidal ideation.

You administer the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) which yields a score of 26.

Diagnosis: Generalized anxiety disorder

Healthcare Resources

Healthcare resources are scarce, and policy makers and health planners make choices between alternative uses of resources. Economic evaluation is important when allocating scarce resources. Cost–benefit analysis, cost effectiveness analysis, and cost utility analysis are decision-making tools that help policy makers and planners examine healthcare costs and the consequences of alternative health programs, services, and interventions.Prepare at least a 5-page overview of cost effectiveness analysis and cost–benefit analysis as decision making tools in the allocation of health resources.  

discussion

 

As a psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner, it is essential for you to have a strong background in foundational neuroscience. In order to diagnose and treat patients, you must not only understand the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders but also how medications for these disorders impact the central nervous system. These concepts of foundational neuroscience can be challenging to understand. Therefore, this Discussion is designed to encourage you to think through these concepts, develop a rationale for your thinking, and deepen your understanding by interacting with your colleagues.

For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources and reflect on the concepts of foundational neuroscience as they might apply to your role as the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner in prescribing medications for patients.  

  1. Explain the agonist-to-antagonist spectrum of action of psychopharmacologic agents, including how partial and inverse agonist functionality may impact the efficacy of psychopharmacologic treatments.
  2. Compare and contrast the actions of g couple proteins and ion gated channels.
  3. Explain how the role of epigenetics may contribute to pharmacologic action.
  4. Explain how this information may impact the way you prescribe medications to patients. Include a specific example of a situation or case with a patient in which the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner must be aware of the medication’s action.
