BIO 205 Module Six Case Study Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
In this case study assignment, you will be asked to read a real-world scenario. Based on the information included in this case study and information you gather from outside sources, you will form conclusions about a patient’s condition and appropriate treatments. Case studies provide real-world scenarios you will often run across in preparing for and maintaining your healthcare career, as they give you the opportunity to mentally work through a problem before being faced with it as a professional. This case is an actual one with names changed. It is a brief overview of how complicated muscle pain can be for a patient, especially one who has lost his cognition to report person, place, and time.
Scenario
You are a student in the medical profession going through a community exercise. You are stationed with experienced paramedics and EMTs in a first-aid tent at the Skateboard-a-Palooza festival. Today’s assignment is six hours of first aid in this tent. It is a 99° F July day with 90% humidity.
A well-developed, well-nourished male who identifies himself as John presents to the first-aid tent with his right shoulder hunched up. His chief complaint is that he has hurt his leg on a skateboard.
Upon examination, John’s temperature, pulse, and respirations are within normal limits. His blood pressure is 140/64. There appears to be road rash on his left lower leg and thigh, and contusions and mild bleeding. When asked about his hunched shoulder, John says that his shoulder is fine but that his leg is hurting him.
John’s eye examination results are unequal but reactive. When asked, he cannot recall his last name, where he is, or what day it is. He reports his leg hurts but that he does not know why. He is escorted to a private area of the tent. He wants something to drink and wants to remove his skateboarding helmet. Police are called in to survey the administration of care. John has no wallet or identification on him.
Palpation reveals a sign of back pain and a lack of reflexes on the right leg. A woman enters the tent and identifies herself as his sister. When she presents John’s wallet to the police, his driver’s license indicates that his name is Raymond Jenkins and that he is 23 years old.
Prompt
What conclusion can be reached regarding the patient’s condition based on the facts above? What process should be followed to ensure the patient’s safety and proper care? Who should be involved? What treatments should be performed on the patient? Provide rationale for your answers.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
- Evaluate Patient’s Condition
- Describe the presentation of the patient’s condition using appropriate terminology.
- Evaluate the symptoms presented in the case study to reach a conclusion on the patient’s condition.
- Process: Describe the immediate next step to help the patient and who should be involved.
- Treatment
- Describe actions you should take to safely treat the patient, using research to support your response.
- Describe the precautions you would take to ensure the patient’s safety, using research to support your response.
What to Submit
Your submission should be about 1 page in length (not including references) and should use bullet points with relevant facts on each line. The document should be double spaced, with 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins. Citations should be formatted according to APA style.
