Hi Assitan Case Study
Hi Assitan,
I enjoyed reading your post and I found it be very organize and straight forward. I, too chose excess fluid volume as my diagnosis. And you have identified the relating factors and defining characteristic well with the diagnosis. I agree with you that “if Mr. Gomez's excess fluid volume is not resolved, he can face several complications” not limited to congestive heart failure, kidney failure, respiratory failure, pulmonary edema, pneumonia. Great job!

    Lie flat on a bed with your head on a pillow and inhale through your nose, consciously moving your abdominal muscles so that your lungs fill with air. Then exhale through the mouth with the lips pursed, so that you make a hissing sound. The exhalation should last twice as long as the inhalation. Try to push all the air out of the lungs. You should feel pressure in your chest and windpipe. Repeat several times. Once you are accustomed to this exercise, you can perform it anytime you need more air, even while…

    Case Study Aleesha Case

    • 231 Words

    In Aleesha’s case it was apparent that aside from needing policy changes to the hiring process along with policies that help military families, there are also other political factors that failed Aleesha. One which seems to be a large scale issue is the drug prevalence in Aleesha’s community. Since Aleesha’s drug use predominantly began in her neighborhood and later progressed when she moved in with her boyfriend, which happened to be in the same neighborhood, it brings up the question of the accessibility and drug use in this area. It seems that the high drug use perhaps could also have played a role in her involvement with drug distribution. The political factor at hand that affected Aleesha immensely was drugs, because due to drug use and…

    Hi Tamela, great post. You made great points on the different questions we need to ask the patient. I agree with you that she might be experiencing the side effects of the medication. There are times that the patient just take the medication as ordered by the physician but don’t know about the side effects. It is indeed important to educate our patients regarding the possible side effects, drug-drug interactions, herbal-drug interactions, or food-drug interactions. Due to S.P.’s history of MI, it is important that her hypertension and hyperlipidemia be manage properly to prevent recurrent…

    In interacting with your discussion I realized that some of the health factors that interfered with medication adherence in my experience, is the stress of health care visits with some patients, in some instant it is because, they don't have the mean to get to the provider office and have to use public transportation that add to a very stressful situation. Other time is because, some feel discomfort in asking providers questions, because these are in a rush to speak with patient that they in turn sometimes can remember what they really want to ask about the medication so this get in the way of patient belief or understanding.…

    Adnan Case Study

    • 572 Words
    • 3 Pages

    I believe that there isn’t enough evidence to prove or disprove Adnan’s innocence I believe this because, a lot of the evidence that has been used against Adnan is shut by the witnesses or other facts. As an example, Asia claims she saw him in the library, but Jay says he was with Adnan getting rid of the body. They don’t have enough actual evidence to tell who's telling the truth. There is a possibility that Jay is lying and using Adnan as a cover up, but it’s also possible that Adnan is doing the same. Adnan might not be guilty because Jay’s story has been changed multiple times and he is not very credible. Adnan may also be guilty because he gives almost every place he went that day and there is record of his phone calls.…
