Case Study 

 1. You are a nurse caring for an 87-year-old retired teacher who underwent hip replacement surgery 2 weeks ago and has transferred to your rehabilitation unit for physical therapy and nursing care until she is physically able to return home. Before her surgery, she lived alone, maintained an immaculately clean house, and was very socially active, with several events scheduled throughout her week. She traveled extensively but limited her personal driving to daylight hours. Upon admission to your rehab unit, the patient wonders aloud how she’ll return to her former lifestyle and who will help her.

1. What data can you gather based on available patient information?
2. How should you assist the patient to facilitate maximal health?
3. What questions should you ask yourself when caring for this patient to help ensure the quality of life?

CASE STUDY: Albert 

Albert Mitchell is a 36-year-old man who will be traveling to Dubai to give a business presentation in

3 months. Although he has traveled widely in the United States as a consultant, this is his first trip to

the Middle East.

He requests information regarding immunizations needed before his trip. Albert states that as he will

be in Dubai for only a few days, he is unlikely to contract a disease in such a short time and

therefore believes that it is illogical to obtain immunizations.

Albert states that he has heard that the side effects of the immunizations might be worse than the

diseases they prevent. He is also concerned about leaving his wife at home alone because she is 6

months pregnant.

Reflective Questions

1. How would you address Albert’s beliefs?

2. What learning would be needed in each domain?

3. What learning theories would you consider?

4. How might his family concerns be addressed?

Maria Fuentes, a 30-year-old Ecuadorian  American, has a follow-up appointment related to type 2 diabetes mellitus, which was diagnosed 2 weeks ago during an annual physical assessment.

Her primary language is Spanish, while her English skills are good; she has difficulty understanding complex medical terminology.

Ms. Fuentes is 158 cm tall, weighs 80 kg (body mass index [BMI] 32), and eats a diet high in fats and starches. Her blood glucose levels at home have been elevated.
