Scenario

You recently finished orientation in the emergency department (ED) of a rural 60-bed hospital, and tonight is the first shift you have worked independently. The Intensive Care Unit of the hospital has only four beds. Usually, the sickest clients needing complex care are referred to a regional medical facility 50 miles from your location. During orientation, you were told that treatment in this emergency department begins with triage, stabilization, and discharge or referred to the regional medical facility.

Tonight, the first client is an 82-year-old female named Ruth. Ruth was dropped off at the emergency department by a neighbor who said that she had been nauseous and vomiting for a week. Her husband was recently admitted to an Alzheimer’s Unit at a local Long-Term Care facility, and the neighbor thought stress was making it hard for Ruth to eat, but tonight she vomited fresh blood and appeared dizzy. The neighbor also brought in a bag of medication she found in the home but was unsure which medication belonged to Ruth or her husband.

You find a frail woman in a wheelchair in the hallway with labored breathing. She appears dirty with matted hair, clothed in a bathrobe with numerous food stains and a heavy cigarette smell. You notice the chart has a highlighted area noting the client has only Medicaid for insurance. You ask her if she understands why she is in the ER, and she asks, “Where is my husband? He is usually home by now.”

(What are important elements in this scenario?)

Three Hypothesis

Hypothesis One: (What cues led you to this hypothesis?)

Hypothesis Two: (What cues led you to this hypothesis?)

Hypothesis Three: (What cues led you to this hypothesis?)

Priority Hypothesis: (Why is this the priority over the others)

Three Solutions for Priority Hypothesis

(What are areas to improve? For example, improving mobility for a patient. Be sure that each solution is going to improve the priority hypothesis)

Solution One:

Solution Two:

Solution Three:

Two Potential Complications

(What are complications that could occur with your priority hypothesis? If a patient’s priority hypothesis is high blood pressure in a pregnant patient, a complication would be Pre-eclampsia)

Complication One:

Complication Two:

Three Solutions for the Potential Complications
