Compare and contrast the priorities for care
Compare and contrast the priorities for care you identified with those of the other case. How would the nurse’s communication be different in each of the client situations? My case on a Pediatric client: What are the relevant findings in the case presentation? Subjective fatigue and leg pain in addition to observations of pallor, easy bruising, nosebleeds, and enlarged lymph nodes indicate a diagnosis of Leukemia. Looking at the CBC, we see each of his values are low, even by pediatric standards (I believe the reference ranges provided are actually adult ranges). This also supports a diagnosis of Leukemia (Hinkle, et al., 2021). 2. What are your expectations from the collaboration with the? Dietitian – A dietician would be involved to provide patient/family education and medical team consultation regarding the nutritional needs of a patient undergoing treatment for Leukemia. Low-microbial diets may be prescribed to limit introduction of potential pathogens (Hinkle, et al., 2021). Nutritional supplements or parenteral nutrition may be required to maintain adequate nutrition (Hinkle, et al., 2021). Case manager – a case manager can assist the patient and his family to coordinate communication between the patient, the various members of the healthcare team, and insurance companies, as well as coordinating the treatment plan. Because this is a pediatric patient, a case manager may also be able to offer support services to the parent(s) as they may encounter difficulties with travel, lodging, and work absences related to the child’s hospitalization and treatment (Hinkle et al., 2021). Oncologist – The oncologist would order testing to confirm the diagnosis as well as the necessary treatments. This patient would likely receive a diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia, and treatment would be geared toward complete remission (Hinkle et al., 2021). Pharmacist – The pharmacist would be involved obtaining the correct chemotherapeutic agents as well medications to manage symptoms and any infections or conditions which arise as a result of treatment (Hinkle et al., 2021). Other Case on an Adult client: 1. What are the relevant findings in the case presentation?
