Case summary:
The nursing student caring for the patient Mr. L and finds out that this patient needs more care. Mr. L had a history of diabetes, circulatory problems, and decreased level of consciousness. The nurse finds out that the patient is almost ignored by the nurses, he has not given any proper wound care, personal hygiene care, and emotional care. The nurses who care the patient, talk in front of him as though the patient is deaf. The nursing student saw this action and cared for the patient. The nursing student holds the patient hand and spends time and could see some relief in the patient. Later, the nursing student complains the issue to her clinical instructor, who responded to the nursing student issue. The instructor could find that this patient is being badly ignored by the nurses. The nurse instructor points the charge nurse about the patient conditions and orders that he need immediate critical care. The nurse instructor without insulting the charge nurse states that patient quality care is the most import duty of a nurse. Later, after two days, the patient dies, the student nurse had little satisfaction that she cared for him at his end stage of life.

True False A patient who has a low bicarbonate level will also have a low potassium level. Causes of low albumin include low protein intake, infection, proteinuria and severe liver disease. Inaccurate handling of the blood specimen can result in a falsely low PTH. In a patient on hemodialysis, a potassium level of 6.0 is acceptable. An excessive intake of meat will result in higher levels of BUN, phosphorus and potassium. In a patient without kidney function, hyperglycemia will be accompanied by hypokalemia. A patient with access problems is likely to have increased levels of potassium, BUN, creatinine…arrow_forward

His high calcium level is a consequence of taking his prescribed amount of PhosLo while eating less food. Thus, he absorbed more calcium from his phosphate binder. In this patient, with adynamic bone disease (low PTH without IV vitamin D therapy), he is unable to deposit calcium in his bones, so serum level rose quickly. PhosLo was held and the next week his calcium was 11.0 and phosphorus 5.8. Other possibilities for a rise in calcium might be that patient took Tums (or another calcium-containing antacid) because of the flu or heartburn; took phosphate binders between meals rather than with meals; was consuming…arrow_forwardlast two please (3 and 4)arrow_forward08tbjf.cloudfront.net/68f85c32-16e5-11ef-925e-aaa4f1cd8999?response-content-disposition=inline DaVita Dietitian Reference Manual + 90% Module 4-Evaluating Laboratory Values DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1.
