NURS 6512N Week 4 - Health History, Tina Jones Shadow Health

Each relevant diagnosis is scored on a four-point scale:

Priority (1 point): the correct priority of the diagnosis was chosen
Evidence (up to 2 points): the strength of the patient cue(s) selected as evidence for the identified diagnosis
- Required Evidence: selecting at least one cue that directly indicates the presence of a problem or risk is worth 2 points
- Supporting Evidence: selecting at least one cue that is a contributing factor or cause of a problem or risk, without the presence of Required Evidence, is worth 1 point
Planning (1 point): the plan proposed to address the diagnosis includes at least one correct component

1. Acute pain of the foot

4 of 4 points

Priority 1 / 1
Student Response: High Correct Priority: High	Priority Pro Tip: Managing acute pain is an immediate high priority, because other health concerns cannot be effectively addressed while a patient experiences severe pain.
Evidence 2 / 2
Relevant “I’d say a 7. It hurts a lot, and the pain pills haven’t kicked in yet.” Required Evidence Irrelevant (None provided)	Evidence Pro Tip: Tina reports intense pain and rates her pain on a numerical scale. She also reports characteristics of the pain, including its duration of one week; this timespan defines her pain as acute. NURS 6512N Week 4 – Health History, Tina Jones Shadow Health
Planning 1 / 1
Relevant Intervene – Prescribe: Prescribe medications to treat pain. Educate – Medication: Educate the patient on medications used for pain relief. Educate – Medication: Educate the patient on non-pharmaceutical methods to reduce pain intensity. Irrelevant (None provided)	Planning Pro Tip: Intervene to reduce the pain by prescribing an appropriate analgesic and educating the patient on its effective use and potential side effects. Provide the patient with options for non-pharmacological pain relief, such as RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation).

2. Local infection of skin and subcutaneous tissue of the foot

4 of 4 points

3. Uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus

4 of 4 points

4. Asthma

4 of 4 points

Priority 1 / 1
Student Response: Low Correct Priority: Low	Priority Pro Tip: Although Tina requires education to better manage her asthma, she does not report active respiratory complaints, making this a lower priority diagnosis.
Evidence 2 / 2
Relevant “Um, the only things I know I’m diagnosed with are diabetes. And asthma.” Required Evidence “It’s really rare for me to have an attack now. Three days ago I had some breathing problems, but I guess probably my last full attack was in high school.” Required Evidence Irrelevant (None provided)	Evidence Pro Tip: Tina reports a personal history of asthma, including past hospitalizations for asthma attacks, as well as her use of an albuterol inhaler. Her sibling’s asthma is of interest, given the strong genetic and environmental factors in the development of asthma.
Planning 1 / 1
Relevant Assess – Respiratory: Assess lung sounds with auscultation. Assess – Respiratory: Assess pulmonary function using spirometry. Assess – Respiratory: Assess respirations (rate, rhythm, depth, quality). Educate – Health Maintenance: Educate the patient on avoiding triggers of asthma. Educate – Health Maintenance: Educate the patient on enacting her asthma action plan including proper use of rescue inhaler. Irrelevant (None provided)	Planning Pro Tip: Because Tina does not report treatment for maintenance of her asthma, instead relying on a rescue inhaler for sporadic attacks, educate her on developing and enacting a proactive plan to manage the disease. Though Tina does not report an active respiratory complaint, it is valuable to assess for abnormal findings that she may not report.

5. Dysmenorrhea

4 of 4 points

6. Hypertension

4 of 4 points

7. Menorrhagia

4 of 4 points

8. Obesity

4 of 4 points

9. Oligomenorrhea

4 of 4 points

Priority 1 / 1
Student Response: Low Correct Priority: Low	Priority Pro Tip: Oligomenorrhea is a secondary issue caused by Tina’s endocrine and metabolic disorders and thus is a lower priority diagnosis.
Evidence 2 / 2
Relevant “It’s not regular. Sometimes it’s every month, but sometimes it’s more like every two months. I don’t write it down or anything. I probably get…six periods a year.” Required Evidence Irrelevant (None provided)	Evidence Pro Tip: Tina reports having about 6 periods per year, meeting the criteria for oligomenorrhea, which are periods more than 35 days apart or 9 per year. Her periods occur fewer than 90 days apart, making oligomenorrhea the correct diagnosis rather than amenorrhea.
Planning 1 / 1
Relevant Assess – Integumentary: Assess for presence of axillary and pubic hair by inspection. Assess – Integumentary: Assess severity of hair growth at areas including upper lip, chin, chest, thighs, upper arm, forearm, back, abdomen. Intervene – Labs: Order a follicle-stimulating hormone test. Intervene – Labs: Order a test of free androgen index. Intervene – Labs: Order a test of free testosterone. Intervene – Labs: Order a test of thyroid stimulating hormone. Educate – Health Maintenance: Educate the patient to keep a menstrual calendar to assist assessing her pattern. Irrelevant (None provided)	Planning Pro Tip: Endocrine disorders are the cause of Tina’s irregular menstruation, so order labs to evaluate for poly-cystic ovarian syndrome and thyroid disease. Inspect for both hair growth indicative of excessive androgen production and that indicative of deficient production, and inspect for acanthosis nigricans. Educate your patient on keeping a menstrual calendar to more precisely identify irregularities in her cycle.

10. Polycystic ovarian syndrome

4 of 4 points

	Tina Jones.
	why are you here today?	Question 03/19/23 2:07 AM EDT
	I got this scrape on my foot a while ago, and I thought it would heal up on its own, but now it’s looking pretty nasty. And the pain is killing me!

	Did you hurt any other part? (Clarified to Did you hurt anything else during the fall?.)	Question 03/19/23 2:12 AM EDT
	Well, at first I thought my ankle was sprained because it hurt a lot right after I fell. But, I mean, I guess I was over-estimating it, because the ankle felt pretty okay the next day and it wasn’t a problem all week. (Clarified to if I hurt anything else during the fall.)
	How has the pain changed over time?	Question 03/19/23 2:13 AM EDT
