Mr Stone Case Summary
Your posting was informative and I agree with your nursing diagnosis of risk for injury and rationale. I do believe that Mr. Stone is at risk for injury related to his physical immobility and condition, which places him at greater risk for other injuries such as falls. In addition, I’m certain that Mr. Stone will not only be at risk for falls but for other injuries as well related to loss of sensation from partial amputation of his left arm. Overall, I like that you included some nursing interventions that can be implemented to prevent Mr. Stones from falls. Good job!

    While those caissons go rolling along, the life of a U.S. Army recruit goes far beyond the grandeur of dodging machine gun fire, or inching up beaches and hills awash with unexploded mines and exploding artillery shells. The vast organizations comprising our nations defense require massive informational and logistical support in order to operate in a smooth, reliable fashion, and a single cog out of place can bring even the most well oiled machine to a grinding halt. One of these jobs, cryptologic linguistics, is as necessary for the common defense as even the most seasoned flapjack flippers and piccolo players. After joining the Army, this species of soldier undergoes an extensive and ongoing education, ultimately progressing from duty station to duty station, providing an invaluable service to a primarily unilingual force operating on a multilingual planet.…

    Mr. Aubertin Case Summary

    • 549 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Per Mrs. Aubertin’s report about Mr. Aubertin’s medical/health history, he underwent a prostatectomy in the United States on April 28, 2015 due to prostate cancer. After his surgery, he traveled to the United States every 6 months from St. Lucia to receive hormone therapy. In September/October 2016, Mrs. Aubertin noticed him “slowing down” (e.g., taking longer to get dressed, falling forward upon entering a car in one incident), which prompted them to visit a doctor in St. Lucia. Mrs. Aubertin reported that the doctor attributed Mr. Aubertin’s slower movements and reduced cognitive processing to the side effects of the hormone therapy. They sought a second opinion with another doctor, who administered cognitive testing (e.g., drawing tasks, writing tasks, following the doctor’s finger with his eye gaze, etc.) and found that Mr. Aubertin performed well on the assessments. Nevertheless, the doctor referred Mr. Aubertin for a neuroimaging scan because of his symptoms, but results did not reveal any brain abnormalities. On…

    Education provides the patient with the knowledge of the importance of safety and what part he or she contributes in their care as well as risk factor identified. Fall prevention programs are designed to determine fall risk and prevention strategies while collaborating with the patient’s health care. Informing both the patient and the family will bring an understanding and mindfulness to fall prevention. Falls are devastating to both the patient and the hospital considering a single fall may result in a downward spiral of reduced mobility with a loss of function and further risk of falls. Along with proper education, fall risk assessments are vital to the fall prevention process. These fall risk assessment are implemented hospital wide and are conducted every shift, change in status, during transfers to different units and at discharge (St. Peter’s Hospital, 2012).
