1. Students
2. This is your main assignment for this week.  Attached is a blank Care Plan template.  I will also included a case study that you will use to complete your Care Plan. Basically, a Care Plan is the Nursing Process, which we have studied over the past few week.  We will use the information that we learned to Assess the patient using subjective and objective data, formulate a nursing diagnosis, develop a plan of care for the patient, implement our plan, and then evaluate our plan.
3. We will discuss the CARE PLAN on the Webinar this week.  
4. The care plan details are as follows: Much of the information is given to you.  There is one diagnosis listed and you will need to develop a second diagnosis for this patient.    Make sure that you have three references in APA format.  If the information is included in the case study (example:  Nursing diagnosis, interventions, etc.) you can use them in your care plan.  This is your first care plan, so much of it is fill in the blanks.  Good luck and I will be glad to help you with this assignment.

   A 48 year old male is admitted to the interventional holding area after having a cardiac cath. The patient received a cardiac stent in the right coronary artery (RCA) and the insertion site was angiosealed. The insertion site is soft, no bruising noted, or active bleeding. Pulses are palpable in bilateral lower extremities. A sandbag in on the site which has to stay for another 1.5 hours per md orders. The patient is complaining of discomfort in the groin area and rates his pain 8 on 1-10 scale. In addition, the patient and his wife have verbalized they desire (but feel they will not be able to) to manage the new medication regime and post-op care and are having difficulty understanding why it is so important to take these new medications and quit smoking since he already “has his problem fixed with the stent placement”. He states he is going to have problems integrating these new “rules” into his daily life because he works around people who smoke all the time and does not want these medications to interfere with his life.interventional holding area after having a cardiac cath.

Purpose

This week’s discussion relates to the following Course Outcomes (COs).

• CO 3: Plan prevention and population-focused interventions for vulnerable populations using professional clinical judgment and evidence-based practice. (PO 4 and 8)
• CO 4: Evaluate the delivery of care for individuals, families, aggregates, and communities based on theories and principles of nursing and related disciplines. (PO 1)

Discussion

Review the Week 3 Case Studies by opening the links below.

Child Abuse Case Study (Links to an external site.)

Senior with Dementia Case Study (Links to an external site.)

Maternal Child/Developmental and Mental Illness Case Study (Links to an external site.)

Choose one of the three attached case studies, and reflect on the vulnerable population that the case study portrays.

• Identify which case you chose.
• Discuss several risk factors that may impact health outcomes for the vulnerable population in your case study.
• Identify one agency in your community that can assist this vulnerable group and assess this agency in terms of the 4 A’s (see the lesson). Discuss each of the A’s separately to assess accessibility, acceptability, affordability, and availability for this population.

Professor’s comment: Hello Class,

This week, please consider the following questions below and share in your posts.

1. Do you think that the resources in your community are adequate to support the vulnerable population in the case study you chose? If not, what services are needed? There is an adage: “You can lead a horse to water, but can’t make it drink.” This means that you can offer services but you cannot force people to utilize them. Do you agree or disagree with this perspective? How can we sweeten the water to promote health? Explain.

2. Describe a vulnerable population that you have encountered, or will likely encounter, in your clinical setting. Do you believe that this population is receiving adequate healthcare from a social justice point of view? Explain why or why not.

Thanks,

Dr. Petko
