Case Scenario

Joe is a 13-year-old boy living in Tom Price, Western Australia, with his parents and two younger siblings- Harry (6 years old) and Alison (3 years old). He was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) at a young age and has been receiving treatment at Perth Children's Hospital for exacerbations of CF symptoms. In addition to CF, Joe also experiences procedural anxiety and pancreatic insufficiency as a complication of his condition. Joe has been scheduled for a tune-up at the hospital and is expected to stay for at least a week. Despite being comfortable with receiving treatment at home, Joe had to be taken to the hospital due to a blocked Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) and worsening CF symptoms. His parents had to put in a lot of effort to get him to the hospital as he was very reluctant. Since his admission, Joe has been moody and withdrawn, prompting his parents to speak on his behalf. When checking his observations, it was noted that Joe was alert with the following readings: Temperature 39.7°C, HR= 123 beats per minute, Oxygen saturation 95% at Room Air, RR= 25 breaths per minute with mild distress, BP= 104/70mmHg. Joe mentioned that.
