1. 3 Priority medical diagnoses:
A. 40 weeks and 2 days pregnant G1 T0 P0 A0 L0 (priority because of potential complications of pregnancy and labor, some which may be life threatening)
B. Second degree tear to perineal (compromises the integrity of the skin and increases risk of infection)
C. Anemia (currently being treated with medications)
2. Description of the client’s pathophysiology of the disease progression or acute exacerbation (refer to 1A)
(Describe the “what, when, where, how, and why” in regards to the patient’s admitting diagnosis and disease progression/acute exacerbation. Be specific. This should be a 6 – 8 sentence paragraph.)
The patient is an 18 year old Spanish female who came to the unit on 11/31/2016 at 23:10 complaining of cramping and she had thought that her water had broken. Her pain was a 4 on a scale of 0-10 in her abdomen described as cramping. Upon examination she was dilated to 3cm, 80% effaced and the position of the baby was -2 and vertex. Her membranes remained intact. Her estimated due date was 10/28/2016. This is her first pregnancy. She has no history of abortion or miscarriage. She has had her flu vaccine and tdap vaccine in October, 2016. She has never smoked or done illegal drugs. She is negative for group b strep, hepatitis, HIV, and syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. She is rubella immune. There is a language barrier between the patient and the staff. The patient and her family only speak Spanish and only knew very little
Keia is a 31yo, G2 P0100, who is currently 9 weeks 6 days as dated by a 6-week scan that was off from her LMP. She has a history of an IUFD at 29 weeks. She reports that she had decreased fetal movement prior to coming in and there being no fetal heart tones on examination, but other than that there were no other significant precipitating events. She did have an increased risk for Down syndrome at 1:140 but per the old reports all of her analytes were within normal limits. At the time of delivery, the baby did appear to be appropriate weight and there were no obvious causes at the time of delivery. She reports that she had chromosomes performed after and the chromosomes were negative. She also thinks she had a full autopsy that was unremarkable. She did have a work-up for clotting disorders due to the history of loss and according to the chart everything is relatively within normal limits except for MTHFR which was heterozygous for C677T and A1298C. I did not see beta-2 glycoprotein or antithrombin III. Because of the relatively normal work-up she is on a baby aspirin and Metanx. She is here today to discuss her history and plans for this pregnancy.
3. List and define each of the patient’s additional symptoms in your own words. These terms appear
Rarely any physician intends to harm patients when he or she provides treatment to them. Patients see physicians and specialists in full faith that they will get help with a condition. What complicates the patient-doctor relationship is that the outcome of each patient’s treatment is different because of individual health conditions and the course of treatment chosen by the doctor. Problems arise when a patient is not satisfied with care provided by the doctor or in extreme cases when a patient dies. Since most of the time it is hard to clearly determine whether the outcome was solely a result of the course of treatment chosen by the doctor or whether other factors played a role too, quite often patients take their
This particular case study involves a 29 year old obstetric patient who presented to the labor and delivery unit at 33 weeks gestation with complaints of abdominal pain for the past three days that had become more severe and absence of fetal movement noted since the previous evening. Her obstetric history revealed she has one living child and has had one previous miscarriage at ten weeks
Correctly using medical terminology, name and describe at least one sign, symptom, diagnostic tool and therapeutic intervention for this condition.
5. Provide complete and current information in reasonably understandable terms and languages regarding their diagnosis, treatment, alternatives, risks, and prognosis as required by the physician’s
More documentation is required from this patient. The three components of an encounter are (history, examination, and medical decision making). The nature of the presenting must also be documented. An established patient is a person who has been seen by the physician or group member within the last three years. Only two components of the three key components and the nature of the presenting problem must be documented in the established patient's medical record (Andress,
If diagnose early in the pregnancy and depending on the severity of the syndrome, the doctor might advice the patient to terminate the pregnancy
The patient must pay close attention to signs and symptoms in this stage. Signs may
