Concept explainers
Case summary:
Person X was excited and nervous about her mental health clinical rotation. As she was new, staffs were helpful and been cooperative to a greater extent. She started her training in developing the nurse-patient relationship.
Patient CR, a 17 years old girl was admitted in the unit for attempting suicide. As she is unable to speak English properly, other nurses asked Person X to speak with her because Person X knows Spanish. While speaking with her, Person X found that she did not like to live with her sister because her sister used to abuse her and kept on reminding her about the sacrifices she made for her.
Her sister always reminded the things she got for her and asked her to pay for all those things later, but then she has to live with her sister because her mom passed away recently. After speaking with her, Person X found that she does not want to return back to her sister’s house.
Unfortunately, she was not considered to be an adult. Hence, legally, it is necessary to consult with the sister. However, it also seems that she was not willing to go back to her sister’s house or else she would be taken to foster’s home. Although they will take care of her only until she turns to 18 years that is only till the end of this month. She was not ready for such a radical change.
Characters in the case:

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_forwardTools Window Help zm Module 4 - Interpreting Labs.pd X CB CastleBranch Login x Merged-TDL-Files--2024103012280X pl Dietetic Prac Halk6uo8tbjf.cloudfront.net/68f85c32-16e5-11ef-925e-aaa4f1cd8999?response-content-disposition=inlin - + 90% CASE STUDIES-DISCUSSION Case 1 His lower BUN, K+ and phosphorus are consistent with his reported decrease in intake due to the flu. 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_forward
