Cannulation Case Study

This medication is use both in hospital and long term management of kidney and cardiac pulmonary disease Buck (2009). When used in accepted premotor furosemide is generally well tolerated. Infants that are on long term therapy are particularly susceptible to nephrocalcinoses due to the high calcium execration rate and alkaline urine caused by furosemide Buck (2009) Elderly population before administration, needs the potassium levels before administration. The general recommendation is that they start on a lower dose. Lab tests when on furosemide can increase blood glucose, blood urea nitrogen, serum amylase, cholesterol, triglycerides and serum electrolytes.

Patients requiring large volumes of fluid and/or diuretics anticipated producing large outputs. Assisting in healing open stage II sacral or perineal wound in the incontinent patient to prevent further skin breakdown. For patients who will require a period of prolonged immobilization, due to broken bones, procedures and other medical complications. When inserting foley catheters the CDC (2009) strongly recommends performing hand hygiene. Hand hygiene must occur immediately before and after insertion and with any manipulation of the catheter device or site.

Clostridium difficile, also referred to as C. diff, is a bacterium that is known to cause mild to severe diarrhea and can lead to severe inflammation of the colon (Government of Canada, 2014). C. diff contains spores that are found in fecal matter. Through encountering a surface containing contaminants such as feces, puts a person at risk for the later development of diseases such as c. diff. This bacterium can also be spread through contact from healthcare workers that have not followed correct cleansing routines such as but not limited to hand washing. High dosages or extended usage of antibiotics can also increase the chances of developing C. diff (Government of Canada, 2014).

Examples found in the Medsurg Nursing journal include medications the patient may be taking, clutter in the room that makes it easy for a client to trip, and co-morbidities the patient may have such as diabetes which can result in hypoglycemia leading to a fall (Woodall, 2016). 9. The use of a vest could be considered for Mr. O 'Brien to prevent another fall. Define what a "restraint" is and discuss different examples of physical and chemical restraints. What actions must be taken before restraints can be used?

It is even more unique to be diagnosed in an immune-competent young patient. While in the hospital patient was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis by meeting two criteria, elevated amylase and lipase and radiologic imaging. Although not clear, his presentation could have been a new onset acute pancreatitis in the setting of salmonella bacteremia or an exacerbation of previously resolving pancreatitis. Pancreatitis associated with salmonella enteritidis can result from hematogenous spread of bacteria either from the broken barrier of the intestinal mucosa, or given that literature suggests growth of bacteria in bile and gallstone cultures. Contiguously spread of infection within the biliary duct is also possible.

A new medical arms race will result into an intensification of clinic costs and aggregate healthcare expenditures. The reason behind an increase in the cost is the inpatient service duplication and the supply prompted demand. It may generate monetary and service inequalities amid the community hospitals, outpatient clinics, and specialized care hospitals. For example, a specialty hospital that focuses on cardiology would provide excellent service and yield a higher market share in comparison to a local community hospital that provides a broad-spectrum of healthcare services. Furthermore, the amplified rivalry for the acquisition of general practitioners and patients will result into enhanced volume of patients which may affect the quality of the care.

This is contributing to the increase of opioid abuse that is already prevalent in this nation. This needs to be taken into consideration

The author of the journal suggests that “immediate review of prescriptions should be performed with the assistance of a hospital pharmacist” to prevent errors in the prescription stage and to increase patient safety. Errors within administration are also common. Chloe Copping (RGN) published an article titled ‘Preventing and reporting drug administration errors. In this article she suggests that the most common source of drug administration errors are within calculation and also the 5 R’s, right drug, right route, right time, right dose and right patient. She states that a busy working environment can lead to distraction which then leads to medication errors therefore inhibiting patient safety.
