Scenario You are a student in the last term of a BSN Program. You are preparing for an end of term exam. To help you prepare, your instructor developed three real world clinical scenarios to provide opportunities for you to apply clinical reasoning and clinical judgement. The instructor stated, “You received reports on these clients. Decide which one you need to see first and then make appropriate nursing decisions based on relevant information to promote positive client outcomes.” The three scenarios include: Patient One: JR is a 55- year-old male admitted 8 hours prior for 24-hour hold to evaluate for possible myocardial infarction. Serial Troponins within normal range and 12 lead ECG indicated evidence of prior right anterior wall myocardial damage. Patient Two: EH is a 40-year-old female admitted within the past hour with acute onset severe right upper quadrant pain and vomiting for the past 36 hours. Waiting on labs, ECG monitoring showing occasional premature ventricular contracts (PVCs). Patient Three: BW is a 21-year-old male athlete admitted yesterday with fever of 103 and diagnosis of influenza. He rested well overnight. Morning chest x-ray revealed mild infiltrates in left lower lobe. Instructions Record your answers to these statements. Rank the three scenarios provided in order of priority related to which client you will assess first, second and third. Defend your selection for the three ranked scenarios. Review the data below for the priority client to determine what to assess first. Chest X-ray no abnormalities noted Abdominal X-ray :diffuse gas throughout the small intestine Hyperactive bowel sounds in all 4 quadrants and abdomen painful to touch Pain level 10/10Sodium (Na+) 147 mmol/L Potassium (K+) 2.9 mmol/L Chloride (Cl-) 100 mmol/L Magnesium (Mg2+) 1.4 mg/dL Calcium (Ca2+) 9.2 mg/dL Phosphorus (P+) 2.3 mg/dL Glucose 188 mg/dL Serum albumin 3.0 g/dL Amylase 185 unit/L Serum Creatinine 0.5 mg/dL BUN 15 mg/dL Alkaline Phos. 155 unit/L • Protein 8.6 g/dL Bilirubin 3.5 mg/dL Formulate three hypotheses based on cues provided Select the priority hypothesis Defend your selection Describe an evaluation plan for the priority hypothesis based on expected client outcomes Describe the next steps in the clinical judgment model including: Actions if satisfied with client outcomes Actions if not satisfied with client outcomes
