As the school nurse working in a college health clinic, you
see many opportunities to promote health. Maria is a 40-year-old Hispanic who
is in her second year of nursing school. She complains of a 14-pound weight
gain since starting school and is afraid of what this will do to both her
appearance and health if the trend continues. After conducting her history, you
learn that she is an excellent cook and she and her family love to eat foods
that reflect their Hispanic heritage. She is married with two school-age
children. She attends class a total of 15 hours per week, plus she must be
present for 12 hours of labs and clinical. She maintains the household
essentially by herself and does all the shopping, cooking, cleaning, and
chauffeuring of the children. She states that she is lucky to get 5 hours of
sleep per night, but that is okay with her. She drinks coffee all morning to
"keep her going." She lives 1 hour from campus and commutes each day,
and often drinks diet cola to "stay awake." When asked what she does
to relax and de-stress, Maria states she "doesn't even have time to think
about that."
Maria's vitals today are as follows; T 98.6, R 20, HR 88, BP
148/90
Using the lesson and text as your guide, answer the
following questions.
What additional assessment data (subjective and/or

next to her daughter in the waiting room. When called into the triage area, the
mother gives a history of coming home from work to find Elizabeth sitting on
the couch watching television. Elizabeth did not go to the door to greet her or
look toward her when she said hello. The mother thought the daughter's behavior
was odd because she always greeted her at the door with a hug. As she
approached Elizabeth, she noticed that she was clutching her right arm as if in
pain. The mother asked what was wrong, but Elizabeth remained silent. Then she
said "Nothing is wrong." The father is sleeping upstairs. The mother
gives a family history of having an alcoholic husband who usually drinks
himself to sleep. She said he has abused Elizabeth physically and
psychologically in the past, and she brought her to the emergency room because
she fears he has hurt her. When Elizabeth is asked about the abuse she appears
scared, insecure, and withdrawn.

assessments, or are they typically more focused exams? (If you do not currently
work in a patient care setting, you may reflect on observations from a clinical
experience or prior work setting.)
Based on your observations, do you feel that patient
assessments performed in practice are as thorough as they should be? Explain
your answer.
Reflect on the assessment you performed for the video
assignment. Perhaps you might compare your performance now, to how it might
have been different when you were a brand new nurse? Or share something you

years-old, and suffers from lung cancer and advanced Alzheimer's disease. She
currently resides in a nursing home, and often does not recognize Michael when
he visits. Last night she was admitted to the hospital with difficulty
breathing. Today, you are the nurse caring for Ann, and her physician is
suggesting surgery to remove part of her lung to potentially slow the
progression of her cancer. Michael is feeling unsure about this course of
treatment, and asks for your advice and guidance.
How would you respond to Michael and serve as advocate for
your patient?
Option #2 - Share a Related Experience
Share with your classmates a time when you cared for a
patient at the end of their life. This may be a time when you assisted the
patient (or their support system) with decisions related to end of life care;
or a time when you were present for the death of a patient.
What were your observations related to this experience? Do
you believe it was a peaceful death? What went well? Can you think of anything
that could have made the experience better for the patient and/or family?\
