Think like a nurse rischer

18/11/2021 Client: muhammad11 Deadline: 2 Day

Case Study 8

Step #1: THINK Like a Nurse by Recognizing RELEVANCE and

PRIORITIES Four Principles of Clinical Reasoning:

1. Identify and interpret RELEVANT clinical data. 2. TREND relevant clinical data to determine current status (stable vs. unstable). 3. Grasp the “essence” of the current clinical situation. 4. Determine nursing PRIORITY and plan of care.

History of Present Problem: John Richards is a 45-year-old male who presents to the emergency department (ED) with abdominal pain and worsening

nausea and vomiting the past three days that have not resolved. He is feeling more fatigued and has had a poor appetite the

past month. He denies any ETOH (alcohol) intake the past week, but admits to episodic binge drinking on most weekends.

John weighs 150 pounds (68.2 kg) and is 6'0" (BMI 17.6). You are the nurse responsible for his care.

What data from the PRESENT PROBLEM are RELEVANT and must be interpreted as clinically significant by the

nurse?
