NURS FPX 6610 Assessment 4
Care Presentation
-
Slide 1:
Here I am to talk about a patient named Mrs. Snyder in a case study. My name is Student.
Importance of Case Study in Healthcare
-
Slide 2:
First, it is necessary to define the role of case studies in the sphere of healthcare. Case Study provides accurate and brief clinical data of a patient. Case studies are very significant as they provide much information on the patient’s health status, results, potential issues and management options.
These case studies are a very useful tool for monitoring patients as they are devised based on actual events and can be easily referred to at any time (Hinchliffe et al. , 2020). Today my topic of focus is on transitional patient care and asking how a diverse team can determine that a patient is indeed receiving good care.
Transitional Care Plan and Goals of Continuing Care
-
Slide 3:
First, I will discuss the following topic: Transitional care in hospital situations focusing on this case presentation. The purpose of transitional care is to pay special attention to the patient when they are being transferred from one health care facility to another. In order to ensure that the patient is protected when they transfer from one group to another, they require what is known as transitional care (Daliri et al. , 2019).
The personnel of the hospital also want to ensure that the patients do not undergo any difficulties in the moving process. This time the patient of interest is Mrs. Snyder, a 56-year-old female who has to be transferred from one medical center to another as she is in a very critical state. Since Mrs. Snyder is very sick, the aim of further management is to provide quality care to her as well as observe her religious and ethnic preference (Jewish).
Stakeholder Part in Patient Health and Safety
-
Slide 4:
Stakeholders help in identifying the health status and care needs of the patient hence it is crucial to understand them (Lianov et al. , 2020). The stakeholders are supposed to ensure that their patient is compliant and not over stressed. Concerning Mrs. Snyder, the healthcare workers should ensure that she does not have any difficulties as she transfers from one group to another.
Furthermore, Mrs. Snyder is Jewish and therefore, health care givers from the two sites to which Mrs. Snyder is likely to be moved during her movement process need to ensure that they uphold her religious and cultural practices to the highest level as they give her their medical attention. According to the belief systems of Mrs. Snyder as to religion and culture, everyone’s needs and wants must be met. Since Mrs. Snyder has dietary restriction, kosher food must be provided (Lianov et al., 2020).
Elements of Continous Care
-
Slide 5:
The initial and most critical aspect of continued care is the retrieval of the patient’s and her family’s medical records. This will assist in the identification of the most probable cause of the problem since many works have demonstrated that diabetes can be inherited (Pervjakova et al. , 2022).

If other members of your family are diabetic, then you are in a higher risk of developing the disease. Second, a correct review of the patient is necessary within ongoing care to assist the patient because it is the foundation of helping the patient.
Third, healthcare groups should ensure that they have complete medical documentation for all the patients because medical papers are the primary means of transferring information (Asmirajanti et al., 2019).
Patient Assessment
-
Slide 6:
She suffers from various diseases that can worsen and make her suffer even more. To achieve effective transitional care, one has to know the patient’s history. The medical staff at Villa Hospital confirmed the patient’s status through the assessment done on the patient.
Here are the facts of Mrs. Snyder’s evaluation:The wife of the man is . This paper focuses on Snyder who has ovarian cancer, a chronic disease which can lead to the death of an individual (Khanlarkhani et al. , 2021). The physicians stated that she has little time to live because her health is rather poor. Apart from this she suffers from diabetes and hyperglycemia, which implies she is always a candidate for having high blood sugar which is dangerous and may lead to her death (Demir et al. , 2021).

Also, her weight is increasing due to health complications that are not well managed, and stress in the home. Her blood pressure is not constant at times because of stress. It was negative for Mrs. Snyder’s health that she was undergoing treatment as it was painful for her (Khanlarkhani et al. , 2021).
I think she is very tensed up and depressed due to all these issues. She also does not go to work to join her family because she does not want to worsen their situation. Mrs. Snyder wants to transfer to a new school because of her religious and cultural beliefs; she stated that she was not able to practice her faith at this school.
Interprofessional Care Team
-
Slide 7:
Thus, every medical process has to be properly planned and communicated to ensure that the needs of the audience can be easily identified and addressed. This is because Mrs. Snyder has many health complications and therefore a doctor specialized in thyroid, heart and cancer, and nurses will attend to her.
This will ensure that all the laid down treatment rules are adhered to in the right manner as per the set procedures. As for Mrs. Snyder’s case study, the nurse’s role was to refer patients to other parts of the health care system to go and speak to and seek help from specialists. Nurses on the other hand should be able to change the patient’s treatment and the dosage of the drugs that she is taking according to her vitals.
For instance, the doctor informed Mrs. Snyder that it would be better for her to go to a health facility rather than remaining at home because she would receive better health care and treatment (Ansa et al., 2020).
Factors Affecting Patient Outcomes
-
Slide 8:
There are several factors that can influence patient care including issues to do with finance, vices, lack of support from friends and family and the environment (Chung et al. , 2020).
Mrs. Snyder is assumed to be a Jewish woman who requires kosher meals hence, the nutritional status of the patient should be considered in the process of treating the patient.
Furthermore, things in her family are not very good either. They are faced with financial issues at home, and her son happens to be a drug addict. That is why it is crucial to ensure that the patient does not feel endangered or under stress in the small centers. This can be easily done by ensuring that the patient is checked up often and the family is encouraged to come over more often.
Determination of Required Resources
-
Slide 10:
Hence, the following will be required in order to well take care of Mrs. Snyder (Howell et al. , 2020). Here are a few of the resources:Here are a few of the resources:
Make sure to have your blood pressure and sugar level checked from time to time.
Try to avoid foods with much sugar, carbohydrates, and salt and always take healthy foods as much as you can.
Diabetes should be treated well and not be neglected. One should workout on a daily basis. Mrs. Snyder has some problems with her mobility and needs nurses’ help with some everyday activities.
For this reason, the organization must be provided with all the necessary equipment for the treatment of the patient, in this case Mrs. Snyder (Howell et al., 2020).
Conclusion
-
Slide 11:
Mrs. Snyder has cancer, diabetes, and stress-related complications in the game. To address these issues, she has to be transferred to another health care center of her choice that suits her. In case of the patient’s relocation from one group to another, the patient requires a temporary care plan (Daliri et al. , 2019).
It is also necessary to respect the religion and culture of the patients while treating them in order to provide the best services. Measures that can be taken to enhance strategies can enhance the quality of the care given to patients and reduce mortality.
To support my statement, I said in my talk that all patients require transitional care and the programs that accompany it. Consequently, as health care givers, we have to ensure that our patients’ needs are fulfilled.
