Case study #1 

Mrs. Franklin-Jones was admitted from the Emergency Room to Cardiac Intensive Care one week ago with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. She has recovered as expected and is moving to the cardiac step down unit today. She is talking with Nurse Julie Hernandez, as she gets settled in her new room, “I was really surprised when I got that bad pain in my chest! I knew I had high pressure but I just didn’t think it was that bad. I try to take my medicine like they told me to in the clinic but sometimes I forget. I guess that I need to study those papers they gave me about what foods I should eat and not eat. I better take care of myself! Momma had bad pressure and it killed her! Who knows—I may even have to learn to cook different than I was taught in Jamaica! I may have to let Tomas do the cooking. He’s got more time at home now than I do since he lost his job. There isn’t too much time between my shifts at the school cafeteria and my new housecleaning job. You know my sister is coming up from Jamaica to see me. I think she is bringing me some bush tea. That’ll set me right!”

• Using Leininger’s Culture Care Model, what factors in the story shared by Mrs. Franklin-Jones should be considered by Nurse Hernandez when planning for the patient’s discharge?
• Why is the theory of Culture Care Diversity important in the delivery of nursing care for all patients?
• Using Leininger’s Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality, develop a plan of care for Mrs. Franklin-Jones.
• Discuss the strengths and limits to Leininger’s Theory.

Case Study #2

Claude Jean-Baptiste is recovering from post-hip replacement surgery and has been transferred to the Rehabilitation Institute adjacent to the hospital. When he enters the unit, he sees welcoming signs written in several languages including his own, Creole. Since there are no nurses on that shift that speak Creole, they use a language line to ask for translation services. During this initial nursing assessment, the translator informs Mr. Jean-Baptiste that the nurses invite him to have a relative at his side so that they can be sure to understand and meet his needs. He is asked about Haitian customs and beliefs that they might honor. Mr. Jean-Baptiste is encouraged to bring food and spiritual care items, and to share the warmth of his culture with the nursing staff.

• Discuss assumptions of the Transpersonal Caring relationship. What is the nurse’s role?
• How is love, as defined by Watson, evident in this caring moment?
• How can the nurse creatively use self to create a healing environment?
• Discuss the strengths and limits to Watson’s Theory.

Anxiety Disorder

A fourteen old male patient that I’m going to call Kevin, was brought in to the practicum site by his father. The patient was in his first year of high school and very talented in athletics. He is an excellent basketball player and aiming at getting a college scholarship. The father explained that Kevin had always been doing very well in class and sports. He is however concerned that his son always worries uncontrollably about his performance in the field, his scholarship to college, how he is doing in class and even worries about keeping friends. He reports that his son occasionally has migraine headaches, especially when they are preparing for a game competition and tests. His father explains that his son has a big game in a few weeks and he has recently been very restless, irritable and the headaches have been more frequent. Patient reports that he cannot help worrying about his performance in class and the field since they are his ticket to college. He was worried that he might do something that will cost him his scholarship and therefore, everything had to be perfect and as planned. Patient also reported that he had been having sleep problems the past few weeks. 

After carrying out screening and assessments to confirm the diagnoses, patient was diagnosed with anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorder is a psychological health disorder that is characterized by symptoms of anxiety, worry or fear that recur (Wehry et al., 2015). It is among the most common psychiatric disorders in adolescents and children (Wehry et al., 2015). The approach used to treat his anxiety disorder was cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This is a very productive evidence-based treatment for childhood and adolescence anxiety disorders (Wehry et al., 2015). Being an effective treatment approach, it was chosen as the preferred treatment for the patient. The CBT intervention included his parents for support purposes. This is because they were his support system and the patient was more relaxed and receptive when his parents were present. The decision to include his parents was in order to improve the effectiveness of the CBT. According to a study, the effectiveness of CBT plus the family was compared to CBT only and the interventions that included members of the family were more favorable and effective (Davis et al., 2014).

A number of components were included in the CBT intervention. First, the parents and the adolescent were provided with psychoeducation concerning the nature of patient’s anxiety, which was a generalized anxiety disorder. Second, it was noted that the patient had occasional headaches as somatic reactions when anxious. In order to manage the somatic reactions, patient was taken through relaxation training, which is effective in relieving these reactions. The third component of CBT used was cognitive restructuring. This would help patient identify and be able to challenge any thoughts that provoke anxiety. By provoking these negative thoughts, he would be successful in inhibiting anxiety. 

The expected outcome of the treatment was a decrease in instances where he would be anxious and worried over something. This expected treatment outcome can however be affected negatively if he does not get the support he expects from his parents. The parents were encouraged to continue supporting their son, because he trusts them and their support would help tremendously in his response to treatment. Therefore, family support should be consistent throughout the treatment period and post treatment, in order to help with complete recovery for the patient..
