Phase 1

A 5 year old is brought to her pediatrician for an annual routine checkup. Her grandparents, who are also the legal guardians, are with her. The child has not seen her pediatrician in a year. The child recently had a visit to the urgent care center and was treated for strep throat. The grandparents are concerned about the child’s weight gain. They state no matter how much she eats she cannot gain weight and is hungry all of the time. 

Phase 2

The primary care office does not have a glucometer available, so the provider orders a urinalysis dip stick test. The urinalysis shows a glucose of over 500mg/dl with blood, leukocytes, and ketones.  The results are shared with the grandparents along with the potential diagnosis and complications. The child’s grandparents are visibly upset and start asking the nurse questions about their grandchild.

Below are several responses the nurse can make to the child’s grandparents. Drag and drop the nurse’s responses to the child’s grandparents to either ‘therapeutic” or “nontherapeutic” based on how you would best categorize the responses.

Phase 3:

A 10-week-old is brought to the emergency department with three days of rhinorrhea, congestion, and cough. He is presenting with mild intercostal retractions, congested cough, HR: 178, RR: 65 breaths/min, his capillary refill is >4 seconds, O2 Sat: 92% on RA, T- 99.2 F, wheezing is heard bilaterally, & mother feels the infant needs help breathing. Unable to stay latched to breast. Restless and has head bobbing. Mother at bedside.

After implementing the appropriate nursing interventions, the nurse assesses the infant. For each assessment finding listed, place the finding in the appropriate category based on whether the nursing and collaborative intervention was effective (helped to meet expected outcome), ineffective (did not help to meet expected outcomes), or unrelated (not related to the expected outcome)
