    Mr. Barua is a 42-year-old gentleman from Bangladesh who presents with chest tightness, shortness of breath, and tachycardia. Dr. J.K. McClean of cardiology is evaluating his heart condition. The patient has had the recent onset of hemoptysis. He was treated for tuberculosis in Bangladesh 15 years ago. This has prompted the concern of whether his treatment for tuberculosis was adequate or whether there is another cause for his hemoptysis. The duration of his tuberculosis treatment was apparently adequate, according to his wife, but no records are available. In addition, the patient had thrombosis of the axillary artery treated last year at Hillcrest. He had an embolectomy and has been on Coumadin since. INR is significantly elevated at 16. Nonetheless, because of the cavitary lesions that are seen in the right and left upper lobes, the possibility of tuberculosis has been raised. Ancillary history was given by the patient’s wife, Nupur, with the patient translating for her from the Hindi language.…

    To ensure compliance of the Joint Commission’s standard of pain assessment, a pain management policy will be adopted effective immediately to educate staff. The pain management policy will expect staff to consider pain imperative as a fifth vital sign. To begin this process, a patient’s pain must be evaluated prior to treatment. By using a pain scale of 0-10 (zero being consider painless to 10 being the worst pain a patient has ever experienced), an accurate assessment of a patient’s individual pain level can be properly monitored. Next a patient’s pain level should be assessed during treatment. At the very least, a patient’s pain level should be assessed every two hours utilizing the 0-10 pain scale.…

At this time the patient was instructed to remove her parka in an effort to avoid further heat loss, resulting from an accumulation of moisture from the conditions outdoors. To assist in regulation of homeostasis the patient was wrapped in blankets and given hot chocolate. Pulse was taken at the Dorsalis Pedis to check the patient’s circulatory response. (The EMT Spot, 2014, ¶7). Pain reported by the patient was localized to the medial surface of the right knee, noticeable inflammation present due to the leaking of fluids from compromised internal tissues. The patient’s presentation of symptoms are indicative to that of a potential medial collateral ligament and medial meniscus tear. (Healthline, 2014, ¶5). The medial…
