Nursing Assignment – 3-2-1 Reflection

Nurses conducting assessments of the ears, nose, and throat must be able to identify the small differences between life-threatening conditions and benign ones. For instance, if a patient with a sore throat and a runny nose also has inflamed lymph nodes, the inflammation is probably due to the pathogen causing the sore throat rather than a case of throat cancer. With this knowledge and a sufficient patient health history, a nurse would not need to escalate the assessment to a biopsy or an MRI of the lymph nodes but would probably perform a simple strep test.

Most ear, nose, and throat conditions that arise in non-critical care settings are minor in nature. However, subtle symptoms can sometimes escalate into life-threatening conditions that require prompt assessment and treatment.

 Amy, a 3 year old girl is brought to your office by her mother because she has a fever and complains that her ear hurts. She has no significant medical history. The child is not pleased to be in the provider’s office and has been crying. Her mother explains that she developed a “cold” about 3 days ago with sniffles. As she cries she continues to cough and has yellowish nasal discharge.  

Attention………Remember that your Case Study Assignment should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template in the Week 5 Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that all Episodic/Focused SOAP Notes have specific data included in every patient case. Provide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five different possible conditions for the patient’s differential diagnosis and justify why you selected each.

Emotional Intelligence (EI)

Introduction to Emotional Intelligence
Emotions play a big role in our lives; they help to guide decisions for the world around
us and influence our interactions with others. Accordingly, emotions are also shaped
from the external world. Emotional intelligence brings control to our everyday emotions
and will affect every aspect of our lives. The ability to control one’s emotions and use
them in a healthy manner can be life-changing. Emotional intelligence combines
emotional and social skills to navigate through organizations and relationships, as well
as deal with emotional stress. It is a skill that can be learned and strengthened, bringing
great success to an individual’s personal and professional life. With an emotionally
intelligent team, maximum success can be achieved.

Defining Emotional Intelligence
Every day we face situations in which we emotionally react. Emotional intelligence (EI)
brings cognition to emotional responses. It involves recognizing, understanding, and
managing our own emotions, as well as recognizing, understanding, and influencing the
emotions of others. This includes being aware of the emotions that drive specific
behaviors. It does not mean denying personal feelings, but rather identifying and
reasoning with them. Developing emotional intelligence is especially important in the
workplace, as it teaches professional and empathetic communication.
The Importance of Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence is incredibly valuable to many major aspects of our lives, our
mental and physical health, professional success, and personal relationships. There are
many positive traits that come from emotional intelligence. In business, emotional
intelligence will cultivate motivation, change, and leadership. It encourages us to step
away from an autopilot mode and become better at navigating through the many social
complexities in life. Respectively, emotional intelligence will help us to create a healthy
and balanced lifestyle. Signs of low emotional intelligence include:
• Having a victim mentality
• Being unaccepting of feedback
• Dwelling on mistakes
• Difficulty listening and connecting
• Often quick to make judgments

Who Needs It?
Humans are wired for connection; these connections consist of social interactions full of
emotions. Essentially, identifying and building emotional intelligence is important for
everyone. High emotional intelligence is a hiring trait desired by leading corporations,
and to some extent, more important than IQ. Emotional intelligence provides a strong
foundation for humans to reflect on their emotional responses, including when
managing feelings of stress or overwhelm, creating a collaborative environment, and
having difficult conversations with others. It is the key to achieving success in any
leadership role. When emotional intelligence is lacking from one individual in the
workplace, it affects everyone else within the organization. These repercussions can
include a lower company morale, and decrease in productivity and performance. A
positive work environment requires employees who are willing to coach and motivate
one another, in which emotional intelligence is the foundation.

What Are Emotions?
Since emotional intelligence is all about the management and control of emotions, it is
advantageous to understand what emotions are and why they matter. Although we all
share the same emotions, we do not all experience these emotions the same way.
Emotions are natural reactions that we experience, in response to a situation, mood, or
connection. They signal a change that has occurred within us, or in our environment.
The six basic human emotions, also known as primary emotions, are happiness,
sadness, surprise, fear, disgust, and anger. Emotions may be momentary or long-lived.
There are three key elements of emotions, including the subjective experience (how
someone experiences an emotion), the physiological response (how their body reacts to
this emotion), and the behavioral/expressive response (how they behave in response to
this emotion). Emotions will guide decisions, help us to avoid danger, and motivate
action. Our daily lives are influenced on whether we are feeling happy, sad, or bored.

Practical Illustration
Shawn was in charge of hiring the new marketing analyst. He was looking for an
employee who was knowledgeable in this field, along with great social skills and
emotional control. After reading a few resumes, he had two strong prospects that he
chose to interview. The first candidate, Hunter, had many years of experience. Although
he had a lot of knowledge to bring to the team, he did not demonstrate strong
leadership and interpersonal skills. Shawn’s second prospect, Leah, did not have many
years of experience. Leah understood the essentials for the position, and assured
Shawn that she was willing to learn and transition with the company. She was confident,
empathetic, and professional. The positive impact that Leah left on Shawn had helped
to guide his decision. He believed that Leah was perfect for the position, and would
share her enthusiastic attitude with the rest of the team

CASE STUDY 1

Case Study #1 – Cardiac

 This case study is meant to be completed individually.  Please place questions and answers into a Word document and upload into the drop box when complete.  APA formatting is not necessary, but you must cite your work and avoid copy/pasting from any source…paraphrase!

Mr. Jones is a 52-year-old obese man with a medical history of gastric reflux and degenerative arthritis.  He arrives at the emergency department with his wife. They had been to dinner and a movie. During the movie Mr. Jones began experiencing excruciating chest pain that radiated to his jaw and left arm.  He appears short of breath and diaphoretic. He reaches the registration window when he suddenly collapses. The nurses place him on a stretcher. He has no pulse, and the monitor reveals ventricular tachycardia.  He was successfully converted to sinus rhythm after one minute of CPR and one defib/shock at 300 joules.

Mr. Jones regains consciousness after his rhythm converts.  He has a blood pressure of 130/92, a heart rate of 112, and a respiratory rate of 24.  O2 is immediately started at 3 liters/minute. Three 18 g IV’s are started, lab work is drawn (CPK-MB, Troponin, CBC, PT, PTT, type and screen & Chem 21) and a 12-lead EKG is preformed. He still complains of chest pain (8/10) and nausea. Sublingual NTG 1/150 gr is given.  The 12-lead EKG reveals sinus tachycardia, a PR interval of 0.24, and 3 mm ST-segment elevation in leads V2, V3, & V4. 

After being admitted to the CCU Mr. Jones complains of chest pain continuing at 8/10. Mr. Jones is given IV morphine 4mg and a nitroglycerin gtt.  This drip was started 10 mcg/min and titrated up every 3-5 minutes until the pain was relieved at 50 mcg/min.  His blood pressure drops to 84/40.  He is pale and diaphoretic.  He is prepared for a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and taken to the cardiac cath lab.

Questions

  1. What classic signs and symptoms did Mr. Jones experience which would indicate myocardial infarction (MI)? What are the specific pathophysiological reasons for each of these signs and symptoms?
  2. What ECG changes indicate myocardial injury? According to the ECG, which coronary arteries were experiencing occlusion and subsequently what area of the heart was being affected? (List the type of change and the coronary artery most often associated with changes in V2, V3, and V4.
  3. What are three things the nurse can do to speed up the time between admission and intervention? 
  4. How is a heparin drip calculated and what is the nurses’ role in maintaining this medication?
  5. If the blood pressure drops while the patient is receiving nitroglycerin, should the nitro be shut off completely?
  6. Why is morphine the drug of choice for cardiac pain?
  7. With this type of MI, an intra-aortic balloon pump may be inserted.  What are the two main functions of the IABP?
  8. What are three differences between CKMB’s and Troponin blood tests?
  9. After the angioplasty and stent placement, Mr. Jones is admitted to the CCU for monitoring.  What are the nursing considerations and assessment priorities for a patient with an arterial sheathe in place?
  10. Once admitted to the CCU, what nursing diagnosis would be the top priority? (The diagnosis must include the “related to” and “as evidenced by”). 
  11. After angioplasty, the patient begins experiencing frequent PVC’s.  What does this indicate and what should be done about it?
  12. If the patient begins to experience chest pain post angioplasty, what is the first thing the nurse should do?
  13. Patient teaching should consist of education about risk factors and lifestyle modifications.  What are three things the nurse could teach Mr. Jones about prior to discharge?
  14. Mr. Jones is going to be discharged on Plavix, Lopressor, Zocor, and Aspirin.  List one teaching point for each of these medications.
  15. Discuss the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) Synergy Model and how this concept would be important in this patient’s care.
