Mr. Patrick Wallace was recently started on a blood pressure medication to treat his new diagnosis of hypertension (high blood p

ressure). He returns to see his doctor to make sure the new medication is working.
The office has recently hired a new medical assistant named Meredith. Meredith is having a hard time with the procedure, and so she looks at Mr. Wallace’s past few blood pressure (BP) results and assumes that it is probably about the same (Meredith is unaware of the most recent medication that was prescribed for high blood pressure).
The doctor comes into the exam room and reviews Mr. Wallace’s vital signs and medications. The doctor decides that, based on today’s results, the blood pressure medication dose is not effective, and increases the dose.
About two days after starting the new dose of medication, Mr. Wallace gets out of bed in the morning and becomes very dizzy and passes out. His wife frantically calls 911 and Mr. Wallace is taken to the ER, and his blood pressure is dangerously low. His doctor sees him in the ER and determines that his medication strength is too high and lowers it to his previous dose. Now Mr. Wallace has an expensive ambulance bill, and an ER bill, and has pain in his hip from the fall.
Who in the situation has responsibility for what has happened? Does it fall solely on the Medical Assistant? What should Meredith have done when she was having a hard time obtaining the blood pressure? Do you think that the patient should have to pay the medical bills?

Hi,


Who in the situation has responsibility for what has happened? Does it fall solely on the Medical Assistant? What should Meredith have done when she was having a hard time obtaining the blood pressure? Do you think that the patient should have to pay the medical bills?


- In this case, the doctor has the responsibility for the patient medication.( to assess the patient blood pressure once again.)

- Meredith also doing a mistake. ( inform the healthcare team)

- No, the patient does not have to pay the medical bill (prosecution for error)

The nurse is helping the parents of a 3-year-old plan a healthy eating pattern for the child. What would the nurse recommend as
Svet_ta [14]

A serving size suitable for kids between the ages of 2 and 3 is roughly equal to one-half of an adult serving. This generalisation is based on MyPlate serving sizes, not the portions offered at many eateries. The suggestions are meant as a rough guideline depending on age and amount of activity. So a half-slice of bread would constitute a serving for a child between the ages of two and three.

The majority of 2- to 3-year-old children require 1,000–1,400 calories per day.

In a balanced diet, distribute those calories as follows:

  • Eat three to five ounces of grains every day, preferably half of which should be whole grains.
  • 1 to 1 and half cups of cooked or raw veggies per day from the vegetable group. Young children, like adults, require diversity.
  • Fruit Group: One to eleven and a half cups of fresh, frozen, canned, or dried fruits daily. 4 to 6 ounces of 100 per cent fruit juice maximum each day.
  • Milk Group: 2 to 212 cups daily. For kids under two, whole milk is suggested.
  • 2 to 4 ounces of the protein group overall each day. Lean meats, poultry, shellfish, eggs, soy products, cooked beans (black, pinto, kidney), unsalted nuts, and nut butter are all good sources of protein.
