2. Case Study (2): Please analyze and discuss the application of the nursing process in the given case study:

Lama, a 23-year-old woman, underwent a job transfer initiated by her employer, which entailed working with chemicals utilized in the field of photolithography. Lama's apprehensions arose when she observed a warning label on one of the equipment pieces, cautioning about potential adverse effects on reproductive health. Due to her growing concerns and associated issues, she visited the on-site health clinic to engage in a conversation with Saleem, an occupational health nurse.

Upon Lama's arrival, Saleem invited her into his office to conduct an inquiry and gather a brief health history. Lama reported that her health had been in excellent condition until recent times, subsequent to her transition to the new position. She disclosed her recent marital status and the possibility of pregnancy, though this remained unverified. In addition, she expressed uncertainty regarding the cause of her vague physical complaints, including fatigue, headaches, and sporadic queasiness, pondering whether they might be attributed to chemical exposure, pregnancy, or other factors.

In response to Lama's concerns, Saleem offered reassurance. He drew upon his eight-year tenure with the company to affirm that there were no specific constraints or prohibitions for pregnant women in Lama's work area. Furthermore, Saleem accessed Lama's health records from a computerized database and supplied her with a set of health history forms for completion. Lama was also requested to read and endorse several forms related to confidentiality, with the assurance that her health-related information would remain confidential and would not be disclosed to the employer without her explicit consent.
