mezya [45]2 years ago

Answer: Not totally certain if you have any multiple choice answers or anything but here's a general idea of what I would write in response.

Explanation: First step is always going to be asking them if they're okay, the question says they're unresponsive so you want to access the situation. If they are spasming and signs lead to them having a seizure your going to immediately call for an ambulance, don't try to restrain them unless they are potentially going to hurt themselves ie. falling off of something or hitting something dangerous nearby. Restraining them can potentially damage their nerves and muscles more than just letting them flail.

If they don't seem to be having any signs of a seizure then you want to check if they're breathing. If they aren't you need to start performing cpr. Have someone nearby call an ambulance or call 911 and ask for walk-through steps if you aren't certified, that way you know what your doing and you can have that support you if they try to sue you (which won't be a problem because of the good samaritan law anyways) You want to get them laying on their back, tilt their head and make sure nothings restricting their air flow. Then your going to do a couple breaths, if they don't start breathing you'll begin compressions. Compressions, breath, compressions breath. I reccommend looking up appropriate compression techniques for different age people and how to correctly administer if you aren't already aware since I don't want to write a whole article here- I hope this helped!

An obese client with diabetes who had a bowel resection 5 days ago says, "I felt like I split open when I was coughing."
Helga [31]

Answer:

Notify HCP immediately.

Explanation:

The situation describes surgical wound dehiscence. Specifically - fascial dehiscence (since a loop of bowel is protruding through). Because the fascia has dehisced, this is a surgical emergency as the patient is now at very high risk of life-threatining infection. It wouldn't be as serious if it was just skin/subcutaneous tissue dehiscence because the main barrier between inside and outside is still intact.

HCP must be notified because this patient needs to go back to the OR immediately for repair.

A person with beta thalassemia majorly require periodic and lifelong blood transfusions to maintain a hemoglobin level higher than 9.5 g per dL (95 g per L) and sustain normal growth.

Individuals with beta thalassemia major usually present within the first two years of life with severe anemia, poor growth, and skeletal abnormalities during infancy. Untreated thalassemia major eventually leads to death, usually by heart failure; therefore, birth screening is very important.

What should Susan do in this situation? Are there any viable reasons the son should have access to his mother’s medical informat
Andrews [41]

The missing part of the question is: On Susan's third day at work, a man comes into the office and demands to see his mother's health record. Susan accesses the record and sees that the mother has not granted permission for information to be given to her son.

Susan should tell the man that he can't see his mother's health record.

Health records keep track of the health history of a patient.   Only physicians aiding the patient can see it and add information to it;  also, the patient has the right to see it.

The son can not see his mother's health record since it is confidential information that can only be seen by

  • doctors
  • medical personnel
  • the patient

In other words, as it is confidential information, Susan can see it because she is medical personnel. However, she can not divulge any information or give the medical history to the patient's son or any other person.

The only viable reason for the son to have access to his mother's medical information is if the medical personnel is legally bound to do it. Otherwise, Susan should not divulge any information, even to the patient's son.

In conclusion, Susan can not allow the patient's son access to his medical information unless she is legally bound to do so.
