For this assignment students are required to write a Case Study Report based on the following patient case study:
Patient profile
Mrs Maria Rossi is a 76-year-old Italian female, with English as her second language. She lives independently and is an active member of the community, regularly volunteering with the local ‘meals on wheels'. She also keeps herself busy and active with gardening, playing cards with friends and walking her two dogs.
Three days ago, she experienced severe abdominal pain and was admitted to the local hospital with a suspected exacerbation of her diverticular disease. She is being treated with intravenous antibiotics, though her last dose is tonight. She was unwell on admission and required intravenous fluids and an indwelling catheter (IDC). She is recovering well and is due for discharge tomorrow, a friend is coming to stay with her for a few weeks.
At the commencement of the day shift you meet Mrs Rossi and take a set of observations which appear normal. She states she feels well and is very excited about being discharged tomorrow. You discuss with Mrs Rossi that you will go and confirm with the doctor that the IDC can be removed, in preparation for the plan to discharge home tomorrow.
A few hours later you return to Mrs Rossi to discuss her discharge and to prepare to remove the IDC as per the doctor's instruction. She seems confused at the idea of going home and looks a little dazed. You do a set of observations which are not within the normal limits for her. There has been a definite change in Mrs Rossi's condition, and you suspect she has a urinary tract infection. You will need to do further assessment. In this assignment you will aim to identify your actions in assessing and managing this situation with Mrs Rossi.
