Welcome to Medical Surgical 1!
DISCLAIMER: This content is designed to enhance the study of nursing. This content is generic and is not designed to take into account the specific objectives, needs, and/or circumstances of any particular region or country. To become a nurse, learners must successfully complete a program of study approved by the government or state-regulatory agency in their place of residence. We cannot guarantee that the successful completion of these materials will enable you to practice in your place of residence. Make sure that you are in compliance with the scope of practice of your regulatory body before attempting to put into use or practice any of the knowledge gained.

Medical-Surgical Nursing 1 is an introductory course designed to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to deliver patient-centered and family-friendly nursing care.

Throughout the course, students will explore key concepts related to the professional role of a nurse in medical-surgical settings. They will develop a deeper understanding of cultural competency, with an emphasis on progressing toward unconscious cultural competence. The role of the global medical-surgical nurse will be examined, specifically focusing on identifying, preventing, and managing health alterations in adult clients. Additionally, the unique needs of the elderly population will be emphasized, covering topics such as illness prevention, management, autonomy, and quality of life. The course will also highlight the importance of collaboration among healthcare professionals to enhance patient outcomes.

The Medical-Surgical Nursing 1 course competencies are developed in collaboration with subject matter experts in medical-surgical nursing education and practice. The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education direct the course objectives. The course uses learning resources from accredited world-class organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH), universities, international guidelines, and peer-reviewed journals. The Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) facilitates distance learning specifically for the independent online learner. The course was designed by NextGenU’s Instructional Design team and Nurses International’s team members: Kathleen Capone MS, RN CNE, Ed.D; Lourdes Webster RN, BSN, MSN; Stephanie Marfurt RN, Ph.D.; Marija Bjegovich-Weidman RN, BSN, MSN, DNP, CCAP; Jordan Wilson MSN, RN, NPD-BC, MEDSURG-BC; Monique Green MPH, MSN, RN; Debra Heinrich RN, BSN, MA, M.Ed, Ed.D.; Laurel Richardson MSN, BA, RN, CNE, Bimila Rai BSN, RN; Seeta Ghimire, BSN, RN; Saphalta Chaudhary MSN, RN.

  Objectives
  After completing this case study, the student should be able to:
  Identify signs and symptoms of a pneumothorax
  Describe the rationale behind the use of a chest tube
  Identify warning signs related to chest tube management
  Provide education to the patient with a pneumothorax/chest tube
  Use the Tanner’s Clinical Judgment Mode by noticing, interpreting, responding and reflecting during the scenario
  Case Presentation
  A 26-year-old professional male presents to the emergency department for sudden onset of shortness of breath and chest pain following a collision with another player during a soccer game. The patient is accompanied by a friend and fellow team member. The patient reports that during the collision, the other player’s shoulder was forced into the patient’s chest. He reports sharp right-sided chest pain that started shortly after the collision and worsens with inhalation or movement. The patient denies recent injury to his head or abdomen.
  Medical History
  The patient’s past medical history is unremarkable. Past surgical history includes a tonsillectomy at age 10. The patient does not take any medications. The patient reports drinking 3 to 5 beers per week, and denies tobacco and illicit drug use. The patient is not married and does not have any children. The patient is a professional soccer player and lives in a house with two other teammates. Family medical history is remarkable for coronary artery disease and hypercholesterolemia in the patient’s father.
  Physical Assessment Findings
  Vital signs include the following:
  Heart rate: 110 bpm
  Respiratory rate: 30
  Blood pressure: 110/82 mmHg
  O2 sats: 92% in room air
  Temp: 98.6 F
  Pain level: 8 of 10
  On physical assessment, the patient appears mildly anxious and has difficulty speaking in full sentences. Respirations are shallow and rapid. No pallor or cyanosis are present. There are diminished breath sounds on the right with hyperresonance on percussion. The breath sounds on the left are clear. The trachea is midline. The electrocardiogram (EKG) reveals sinus tachycardia. Peripheral pulses are 2+. No murmur is auscultated. The patient is alert and oriented x 4. The patient is ambulatory, although ambulation increases the shortness of breath. The abdomen is soft, flat, and non-distended with active bowel sounds. No obvious injury is present to the head or abdomen. Moist mucous membranes are present. Skin turgor is normal. No signs of bruising or erythema.
  Laboratory and Diagnostic Testing and Results
  The chest x-ray showed a large amount of air in the pleural space of the right lung.
  The arterial blood gas values were as follows:
  pH: 7.30 (normal range: 7.35-7.45)
  PaCO2: 60 mmHg (normal range: 35-45 mmHg)
  PaO2: 55 mmHg (normal range: 80-100 mmHg)
  HCO3-: 26 mEq/L (normal range: 22-28 mEq/L)
  SaO2: 85% (normal range: >95%)
  The complete blood count and metabolic panel (chemistry) were within normal limits.
  Next steps: Implementing Clinical Nursing Judgment
  After reviewing the clinical presentation and physical assessment, the nurse understands the patient is at risk for respiratory decompensation and failure. After a discussion with the provider, the nurse prepares the patient and the healthcare team for chest tube placement.
  Noticing
  Describe the clinical presentation of the patient. What is your initial impression?
  How does the patient appear clinically to you? Provide specific examples.
  How does the patient appear socially to you? Provide specific examples.
  How does the patient appear psychologically to you? Provide specific examples.
  Based on these assessments, what are your greatest clinical concerns?
  Interpreting
  How do the clinical and diagnostic findings suggest a diagnosis of a pneumothorax?
  How do blood gas results reflect the impaired ventilation and oxygenation associated with a pneumothorax?
  What signs and symptoms would indicate that the pneumothorax is increasing?
  Discuss why the placement of a chest tube would be the preferred method of treatment.
  How do you expect the patient’s clinical presentation to improve after chest tube placement?
  Describe any clinical, social, psychological factors that may impact the situation.
  Identify the patient's educational needs, readiness to learn, learning preferences, barriers to treatment, and expectations.
  Responding
  What are your most important nursing interventions in caring for this patient?
  What is the role of the nurse before, during, and after chest tube placement?
  Are there any interventions you can delegate?
  What steps can you take to prepare the patient for the procedure?
  What steps can you take after the procedure to ensure patient safety and minimize adverse effects of chest tube placement?
  Discuss the warning signs related to chest tube malfunction or dislodgement.
  Identify any safety concerns you have while caring for a patient with a chest tube.
  Reflection
  Reflection in-practice:
  What was your initial concern when you discovered the patient was experiencing respiratory distress and had a pneumothorax?
  Reflection on-practice
  What might you do in your future practice to prepare for this situation?
  What are your biggest concerns surrounding chest tube management?
  Identify stresses you believe nurses experience as they manage chest tubes in patients.
  Reflect on how nurses can best prepare to care for patients with chest tubes.
  Describe the importance of the nursing role in this scenario.
  List three ways you increase your knowledge, skills, or attitudes while caring for a patient with a pneumothorax.
  Write a paragraph with no more than 200 words discussing what it is like to be the nurse and the patient in this type of scenario. Include a discussion of how to maximize your role as a patient advocate after the patient undergoes a painful procedure.
