NUR 422: Case Study and Care Plan
Using the following case study, develop a care plan to meet the needs of this client. Follow the rubric, you may use your Townsend book and other resources and are required to cite in APA.
Mr. X, a 68-year-old married Chinese man comes to the office for a follow up appointment. Mr. X is a retired cook who lives at home with his wife, MRS. X, who does not speak English.
Today, Mr. X complains of difficulty falling asleep, and irritability for the past 6 months. He states he has frequent headaches, dizziness, and a sensation of tightness in the chest and palpitations. Three weeks before this visit, he had several episodes of chest pain and called 911 each time. Mr. X was admitted for a medical evaluation. Results of all lab work, EKGs, a cardiac ultrasound, and a stress test were all negative. Due to ongoing complaints, Mr. X was referred for a psychiatric consultation. Despite sensitive probing by the psychiatrist, Mr. X denies symptoms of depression. He has no history of psychiatric or physical illness and is not prescribed medications. He does endorse feeling on edge and being nervous all day.
When asked about his family, Mr. X reports that his wife had worked for many years as a nanny in a distant town and they were accustomed to living apart. She retired 6 months ago and returned to live with him. He became agitated when talking about his wife and described her as “a headstrong woman who always did things her way”. The psychiatrist pointed out to him that his symptoms could be related to his recent life changes because they started when his wife rejoined him. Mr. X was able to articulate that his symptoms got worse when his wife aggravated him. They fought frequently about everything from how to set up a monthly budget to arranging their furniture, to what gifts to send to their children. He remembered that before he went to the emergency department at the hospital, he was angry with his wife because “she put wet dishes in the wrong place and messed up the kitchen.” Mr. X stated that he could not stop the worrying about the dishes and declined the offer to start Sertraline 25 mg daily.
