Peer # 1 Tamira Parker          

1.An individual who has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer has a need for information about the stage of the cancer, treatment options, and odds of survival. This individual could use a lot of support during this rough time.

2. A family caring for an elderly individual with AD needs to learn positive coping mechanisms to deal with the family member, taking a break when they feel exhausted, and support groups. Support groups can help the patient and or family to meet other people that are going through the same exact thing.

3. A community in which adolescent cigarette smoking is on the risk adolescents need to be educated on the risks associated with smoking such as lung cancer and heart disease. If guidelines permit refer the adolescent to counseling to see if there is a possibility that smoking is secondary to another issue. Also refer adolescent to cessation programs if guidelines permit, if not discuss with parent and decide what is in the best interest of the child.

 

Peer #2 Samantha Pearce          

An individual who has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer. Start off by informing the patient of the different type of treatment. Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that works by boosting or activating your immune system, so it recognizes and kills cancer cells. Also, there are lots of active support groups for patients and family caregivers, so no one has to face a lung cancer diagnosis alone. Furthermore you would teach/inform the patient how to cope with these emotions by communicating with your friends and family members, expressing your thoughts in a journal and quitting smoking, eating right, staying physically active and managing your stress helps your body stay healthy.

A family caring for an elderly individual with Alzheimer’s disease. Teach the caregiver that they must understand how AD changes a person, learn how to cope with these changes. Make the home safe for the person with AD. Caregivers could also find out about helpful resources, such as websites.

A community in which adolescent cigarette smoking is on the rise. It is well known that tobacco use increases the risk for contracting a variety of diseases and health conditions, including lung, bladder, colorectal, esophageal, kidney, larynx, mouth, throat and other cancers, respiratory infections, diabetes, and coronary heart disease. A Campaign for an adolescent young girl is good to inform the public of these risks, combined with smoking legislation regulating the age of access and smoking in public places have led to a general decrease in smoking prevalence among all age groups.

Respiratory Case Study

For this question, please read the following case study and then respond to the questions noted below

Johnathan, age 7, presents to the office with symptoms of worsening cough and wheezing for the past 24 hours. He is accompanied by his mother, who is a good historian. She reports that her son started having symptoms of a viral upper respiratory infection 2 to 3 days ago, beginning with a runny nose, low-grade fever of 101.0 degrees F orally, and loose cough. Wheezing started on the day before the visit, so Johnathan ‘s mother started administering albuterol metered-dose inhaler (MDI) two puffs before bed and then two puffs at around 2 AM. The cough and wheezing appear worse today, according to the mother. He had difficulty taking deep-enough breaths to inhale this morning’s dose of albuterol, even using the spacer.

Johnathan has been a patient at the clinic since birth and is up to date on his immunizations. His growth and development have been normal, and he is generally healthy except for mild intermittent asthma. This is his first asthma exacerbation of the school year, and his mother expresses a concern about sending him to school with an inhaler.

Johnathan is afebrile with a respiratory rate of 36 and a tight cough every 1 or 2 minutes. He weighs 45 pounds (20.5 kgs.). The examination is all within normal limits except for his breath sounds. He has diffused expiratory wheezes and mild retractions. Pulse oximetry readings have been 93% of oxygen saturation.

  1. What is the appropriate pharmacological therapies to be prescribed for Johnathan
  2. What information is necessary to provide to Johnathan and his mother regarding asthma exacerbation?
  3. What is an appropriate clinical assessment tool to be use with Johnathan?
  4. What are the classification of asthma?
  5. How would you as the NP address his mother’s concern regarding providing an inhaler at school?
  6. What is an appropriate plan of care for Johnathan?
