Hypothermia

Scenario/Summary

Betty was an active 24 year-old with a good job at the local University. She helped students navigate the complexities of the FAFSA application process to access monies for their educations. Betty loved her job and attended all of the graduation ceremonies as a final send-off of the students to their dream lives.

In September, Betty started to feel tired and had a low-grade fever. She also experienced some nausea and stomach pain. Worried that she was developing a stomach virus, she stayed at home that weekend and tried to get as much rest as possible. She turned to soft foods to decrease the stomach distress. By Monday, she was feeling a little better and hoped she was on the mend.

However, later in the week, her joints started hurting and her leg muscles were sore. She couldn’t think of anything she had done differently that would account for the muscle soreness and joint pains. She chalked that up to sleeping wrong.

A few months later, the fatigue and weakness returned and she noticed that her hair was breaking easily and thinning, and that she was developing swelling in her legs and face. She also had dry skin and craved eggs and cottage cheese. Betty couldn’t get enough of these two foods. Fearing that something serious may be wrong, Betty scheduled an appointment with her physician.

Her physician ran a battery of tests to determine that Betty was suffering from a hepatitis C virus and was experiencing hypoproteinemia. In particular, her albumin levels were low.

Based on what you’ve learned about blood flow, the liver’s role in production of proteins, and pressure at the capillaries, address the following questions.

Deliverables

Workflow diagram (Flowchart)- Barcode Medication Administration

Workflow diagram (Flowchart)- Barcode Medication Administration

  1. Create two (2) flowcharts for one nursing activity that you use in nursing practice that involves some aspect of informatics. A few examples may be Barcode Medication administration, patient discharge process in the EMR, etc. The topic can be ANYTHING that involves informatics. Typically speaking, there should be at least 8-10 steps in flowchart of this type for the “current state”.
    1. The first flowchart will document “current state”. What that means is, you will capture what is being done at this moment in practice. You can glean this information from your institutions policy and procedure, your own practice, or watching a colleague perform the activity.
    2. The second flowchart will document a proposed “future state”. Use the resources from the course or your own creative ingenuity, and create a novel way to perform the nursing activity that in some way enhances the process. For example, think about quality improvement . . . it could be using LEAN principles to remove unnecessary “waste” in the process to make it more efficient. Think about patient safety, what workarounds exist for your current process that could be eliminated in your future state. (These are just ideas . . . be creative!)

2. Provide a summary of the two workflow diagrams.

    1. Compare and contrast the two processes. What does the future state offer that the current state lacke. The summary can be a written document of 1 page or less, using APA format and appropriate references and reference page.

At least 3 references are needed for the assignment and must meet APA guidelines. The references should support the workflow change process

Requirements: 2 flow charts and one page summary as described with three references   |   .doc file
