Although understaffed, the nurses are culpable because the patient was not thoroughly assessed.

Radiology Technologists are everywhere from physician and dental offices to clinics and hospitals, and they are doing all kinds of things. On my day of observation, I started off with one of those "do I really want this job" situations when I was placed in a room to observe a young woman receiving a barium enema. The level of comfort was somewhat questionable, but it turned out that I had no problem dealing with this situation. I was interested in the fact that when a barium dye was added to the fluid of her enema, the insides of her intestines could be viewed to search for blocks or other problems. The next two patients observed were also receiving barium treatments. In one room I observed an elderly lady receiving a barium swallow exam in which she attempted swallowing different mediums of liquid and solid foods, which were also mixed with this barium dye. As she swallowed some of these things you could see on the monitor that small amounts were sometimes moving into her airway instead of her stomach. This was exactly what they were looking for so that a diet could be arranged for her in which this problem would no longer occur. The next barium case was the absolute saddest thing I had seen in a while. A three-year-old girl was to receive a catheter so that barium infused fluids could be pushed into her bladder. This was to see if it was backing up into her kidneys when full and resulting in numerous infections. The…

A solid understanding of nursing-sensitive indicators can assist the nurses in the case of Mr. J in identifying issues that may interfere with patient care. Knowledge of appropriate restraint use, as well as the care involved while caring for a patient in restraints, and prevention of pressure ulcers could have prevented some of the issues in this scenario. Mr. J should have been given frequent breaks from the restraints, assisted to use the restroom more often, and turned from side to side at least every two hours.…
Nurses must be able to recognize patients who present with the common risk factors, such as above, the age of 65, on antibiotic therapy, have a history of bowel disease (Higginson, 2009). All health providers clean their hands with soap and water before and after caring for a patient, we can prevent the spread of this infection. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, and sterilize any equipment that the patient had come into contact with can lower that chance of transmitting this infectious disease ("Clostridium Difficile Infection,"…

One possible explanation for Mary’s sudden diarrhea is food poisoning. Since Mary is stated as being in “reasonably good health,” a sudden occurrence of diarrhea can be a sign of such an infection (Whitney, Rolfes 90). Another thing that could cause the diarrhea is a side-effect from the drugs Mary is taking daily. Diarrhea is a known potential side-effect of over-the-counter drugs (Whitney, Rolfes 90). As for the cramps, they can be caused by a lot of things, but my conclusion would have to be that they are simply directly connected to the diarrhea, as those symptoms usually go hand-in-hand (Whitney, Rolfes 90).…
