When should the precaution be implemented?

Hospitals and other healthcare settings will often implement Transmission-Based Precautions to prevent or help reduce the spread of infections to healthcare workers, as well other patients in their care. These Transmission-Based Precautions are designed to supplement standard precautions in patients/residents with documented or suspected infection/colonization of highly transmissible or epidemiologically important pathogens. The three categories of Transmission-Based Precautions include:Contact PrecautionsDroplet PrecautionsAirborne PrecautionsFor your initial post, choose one of the Transmission Based Precautions listed above to report on. Research your selection and provide answers to the following questions: When should the precaution be implemented? What type of PPE should be used by a health care worker providing care to the patient? Are there any other considerations that apply when caring for a patient with this type of precaution? Finally, list some examples of diseases that fall into this category.

In your own words describe the meaning of the Patients’ Bill of Rights.

Within the Discussion Board area, write 300-500 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas: In your own words describe the meaning of the Patients’ Bill of Rights. Currently there is no universal Patients’ Bill of Rights, but many facilities have adopted their own set of Patients’ Rights and Responsibilities based on the Consumer Bill of Rights and Responsibilities that was adopted by the US Advisory Commission on Consumer Protection and Quality in the Health Care Industry in 1998.For this discussion, read the Patients’ Bill of Rights presented by Healthsource Global Staffing to all of their employees.There are eight key areas of the Patients’ Bill of Rights:Information for patientsChoice of providers and plansAccess to emergency servicesTaking part in treatment decisionsRespect and non-discriminationConfidentiality (And privacy) of health informationComplaints and appealsConsumer responsibilitiesIn your response:Rank order the eight areas in terms of which area you think is most important (1) through which area you think is least important (8).Review your top three areas and discuss what modifications you would make in these areas based on changes that have taken place in the healthcare system since this list was adopted in 1998.Identify any provisions or areas that you believe should be included that are not addressed in this list of Patient’s Rights. For example, consider some of the patient’s rights and responsibilities afforded to patients as part of the Affordable Care ActUse APA formatting and citation standards.

What was the cause of this patient’s iron-deficiency anemia?

case 1 Mosby’s Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests, 6th Edition Iron-Deficiency Anemia Case Study A 72-year-old man developed chest pain whenever he was physically active. The pain ceased on stopping his activity. He has no history of heart or lung disease. His physical examination was normal except for notable pallor. Studies Result Electrocardiogram (EKG), p. 485 Ischemia noted in anterior leads Chest x-ray study, p. 956 No active disease Complete blood count (CBC), p. 156 Red blood cell (RBC) count, p. 396 2.1 million/mm (normal: 4.7–6.1 million/mm) RBC indices, p. 399 Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) 72 mm3 (normal: 80–95 mm3 ) Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) 22 pg (normal: 27–31 pg) Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) 21 pg (normal: 27–31 pg) Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) 9% (normal: 11%–14.5%) Hemoglobin (Hgb), p. 251 5.4 g/dL (normal: 14–18 g/dL) Hematocrit (Hct), p. 248 18% (normal: 42%–52%) White blood cell (WBC) count, p. 466 7800/mm3 (normal: 4,500–10,000/mcL) WBC differential count, p. 466 Normal differential Platelet count (thrombocyte count), p. 362 Within normal limits (WNL) (normal: 150,000– 400,000/mm3 ) Half-life of RBC 26–30 days (normal) Liver/spleen ratio, p. 750 1:1 (normal) Spleen/pericardium ratio <2:1 (normal) Reticulocyte count, p. 407 3.0% (normal: 0.5%–2.0%) Haptoglobin, p. 245 122 mg/dL (normal: 100–150 mg/dL) Blood typing, p. 114 O+ Iron level studies, p. 287 Iron 42 (normal: 65–175 mcg/dL) Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) 500 (normal: 250–420 mcg/dL) Transferrin (siderophilin) 200 mg/dL (normal: 215–365 mg/dL) Transferrin saturation 15% (normal: 20%–50%) Case Studies Copyright © 2018 by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 2 Ferritin, p. 211 8 ng/mL (normal: 12–300 ng/mL) Vitamin B12, p. 460 140 pg/mL (normal: 100–700 pg/mL) Folic acid, p. 218 12 mg/mL (normal: 5–20 mg/mL or 14–34 mmol/L) Diagnostic Analysis The patient was found to be significantly anemic. His angina was related to his anemia. His normal RBC survival studies and normal haptoglobin eliminated the possibility of hemolysis.. His RBCs were small and hypochromic. His iron studies were compatible with iron deficiency. His marrow was inadequate for the degree of anemia because his iron level was reduced. On transfusion of O-positive blood, his angina disappeared. While receiving his third unit of packed RBCs, he developed an elevated temperature to 38.5°C, muscle aches, and back pain. The transfusion was stopped, and the following studies were performed: Studies Results Hgb, p. 251 7.6 g/dL Hct, p. 248 24% Direct Coombs test, p. 157 Positive; agglutination (normal: negative) Platelet count, p. 362 85,000/mm3 Platelet antibody, p. 360 Positive (normal: negative) Haptoglobin, p. 245 78 mg/dL Diagnostic Analysis The patient was experiencing a blood transfusion incompatibility reaction. His direct Coombs test and haptoglobin studies indicated some hemolysis because of the reaction. His platelet count dropped because of antiplatelet antibodies, probably the same ABO antibodies that caused the RBC reaction. He was given iron orally over the next 3 weeks, and his Hgb level improved. A rectal examination indicated that his stool was positive for occult blood. Colonoscopy indicated a rightside colon cancer, which was removed 4 weeks after his initial presentation. He tolerated the surgery well. Critical Thinking Questions 1. What was the cause of this patient’s iron-deficiency anemia?2. Explain the relationship between anemia and angina. 3. Would your recommend B12 and Folic Acid to this patient? Explain your rationale for the answer 4. What other questions would you ask to this patient and what would be your rationale for them Case 2 Studies The patient, a 30-year-old homosexual man, complained of unexplained weight loss, chronic diarrhea, and respiratory congestion during the past 6 months. Physical examination revealed right-sided pneumonitis. The following studies were performed: Studies Results Complete blood cell count (CBC), p. 156 Hemoglobin (Hgb), p. 251 12 g/dL (normal: 14–18 g/dL) Hematocrit (Hct), p. 248 36% (normal: 42%–52%) Chest x-ray, p. 956 Right-sided consolidation affecting the posterior lower lung Bronchoscopy, p. 526 No tumor seen Lung biopsy, p. 688 Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP) Stool culture, p. 797 Cryptosporidium muris Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) serology, p. 265 p24 antigen Positive Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Positive Western blot Positive Lymphocyte immunophenotyping, p. 274 Total CD4 280 (normal: 600–1500 cells/L) CD4% 18% (normal: 60%–75%) CD4/CD8 ratio 0.58 (normal: >1.0) Human immune deficiency virus (HIV) viral load, p. 265 75,000 copies/mL Diagnostic Analysis The detection of Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP) supports the diagnosis of AIDS. PCP is an opportunistic infection occurring only in immunocompromised patients and is the most common infection in persons with AIDS. The patient’s diarrhea was caused by Cryptosporidium muris, an enteric pathogen, which occurs frequently with AIDS and can be identified on a stool culture. The AIDS serology tests made the diagnoses. His viral load is significant, and his prognosis is poor. The patient was hospitalized for a short time for treatment of PCP. Several months after he was discharged, he developed Kaposi sarcoma. He developed psychoneurologic problems eventually and died 18 months after the AIDS diagnosis. Case Studies Copyright © 2018 by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Critical Thinking Questions 1. What is the relationship between levels of CD4 lymphocytes and the likelihood of clinical complications from AIDS? 2. Why does the United States Public Health Service recommend monitoring CD4 counts every 3–6 months in patients infected with HIV? 3. This is patient seems to be unaware of his diagnosis of HIV/AIDS.

What would you do first prior to prescribing any medication?

Howard is a 24 year-old male who presents to the clinic with his wife for what he states is severe lower back pain. He states the pain is so bad that he rates it as a “50 out of 10.” He also tells you that due to a past medical history of an ulcer, he cannot take any medications “like Motrin.” He states that the pain is from a car accident in 2012, and that it flairs up and he needs pain medications. He also tells you that he has a high pain tolerance, and that when he gets pain meds he requires the higher doses.Discussion 1What would you do first prior to prescribing any medication?What are the various schedules of medications for controlled substances?Would you prescribe a long or short acting narcotic? Why or why not?Discussion 2What other non narcotic medication options can you offer to this patient?What patient education is needed with them?What would you do if the patient and his wife tell you that none of them work for him?
