Delivery of the baby via C-section was uncomplicated until it was time to close the patient. The attending had left the OR and let the fellow and resident take over the case. The circulating nurse informed the doctors that a pad was missing. The fellow and resident were very sure of themselves and insisted that the nurse had counted wrong and went on and closed the patient up. Two days later, the patient became hypotensive and febrile and complained of sharp abdominal pain. A flat plate of the abdomen revealed a foreign object left inside of her. The circulating nurse should have spoken up using CUS with the doctors, stating, "I'm concerned, I'm uncomfortable, and closing her up without accounting for the missing pad is unsafe." The two-challenge rule should have also been invoked when the initial concern was ignored. The nurse should have voiced her concern twice to ensure she was heard. The doctors should have acknowledged her challenge…arrow_forward
- Why would it be advisable for a patient with Graves’ disease to wear a medic alert tag or bracelet?arrow_forwardYou are called in for an exploratory laparotomy. Upon arrival to the hospital, you learn your patient has a ruptured aneurysm. You prepare the operating room and scrub, then notice the patient is brought in and not breathing. The surgeon makes the incision and the abdomen is filled with blood and your patient crashes. After a brief silence, your patient dies on the table. What is your role as a surgical technologist at this point? Who stays with the patient's family while they say goodbye? Do you remove all the cords, clean the patient up before the family visit? Why or why not?arrow_forwardDrawing blood was Kara’s favorite skill she learned in clinical medical assistant school. She is pleased that Greenland Family Care Clinic draws lab work onsite rather than sending patients to an outpatient laboratory for phlebotomy procedures. Lindsay reviewed all of the procedures with her before she left on vacation, knowing that Kara would have the opportunity to perform phlebotomy on several patients. Dr. Dean has ordered lab tests on Mr. Jose M. Garcia, and Kara will need to draw his blood. This is her first “real” patient since completing her externship, and she is a little nervous. Kara looks at the lab requisition form and learns Dr. Dean has ordered a CBC with Diff, Serum Fasting Glucose, and Basic Metabolic Panel. Kara gathers the supplies and enters Mr. Garcia’s exam room with a smile. Do not forget to ask yourself questions like these: What should Kara do next? What is the appropriate color of tube(s) Kara needs to draw? Will Kara need to change tubes during this…arrow_forward
- Discuss, using the text, how you believe this case should be decided. Remember to reference specific ethical principles from the text: "A 13 year old girl, suffering from toxic shock syndrome, is sent directly from school to a local emergency room. Treatment is ordered, including fever-reducing medication and a strong course of intravenous antibiotics. The parents arrive just as the medication and equipment arrive in the emergency room. They announce they are Christian Scientists and wish to take their daughter home." The clinical approach to this case requires the application of the procedure by which medical indications, patient preferences, projected quality of life and contextual features be applied.
