In this activity, you will explain the role of the nurse in client-centered care and support
Step 1. Review [30 minutes]
Review the sample case presentation below
A 40-year-old woman with a history of recent intravenous (IV) drug use is admitted to the observation unit for IV antibiotics after the incision and drainage of an antecubital abscess. She has a history of opioid and cocaine dependence.
She receives IV hydromorphone for acute pain, as she had a significant debridement performed. After the procedure, she is demanding increasingly higher doses of pain relief, but the medical unit team is becoming uneasy regarding the dose and frequency of opioid medications that she is receiving.
Step 2. Respond [105 minutes]
Prepare a 200-400 word piece of writing that articulates the steps that you will take if you are to be the assigned nurse for the case. Please include the following:
Potential barriers and challenges that you may encounter while attending to the patient.
Strategies and practices that you will implement to render a client-centered care and support, especially for a difficult, uncooperative patient.
Action items that you will apply to ensure the right balance between clinical ethics and healthcare standards in treating and caring for the patient.
Step 3. Share [10 minutes]
To share your work, click on the “Add a new discussion topic” button under this post and paste your work in the “Message” box. Then click “Post to forum.” Make sure to reference others’ intellectual property when necessary. All references should follow 7th Edition APA formatting. For further instructions, see the resource on the Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library: APA citation resource (N.B. references are excluded from word counts).
OPTIONAL Step 4: Interact (10 minutes)
If you would like to, you can reply to your peers' posts in a respectful and professional manner. Ensure that your post engages your peers' ideas by including a reflection on their comments, sharing ideas of other potential difficulties and parties involved, or asking thought-provoking questions. If a peer comments on your posting, please reply. To post a reply, click “Reply” on a particular discussion, write your feedback and then click on “Post to forum.”
