Problem
Andrew Smith Monologue Script Hi I'm Drew. I am 10 years old and go to Spring Garden Elementary School. I live with my mother/father and younger brother Benjamin, who is 7 years old. I love my brother but we argue a lot over the xbox. We both share an Xbox account as well as many of the same friends. We have a dog named Bandit. He sleeps with me and I tend to be the one who takes responsibility for letting him outside. I enjoy taking him for walks when I get home from school.I play soccer in the fall and spring on the rec team. In the winter, I play basketball. My favorite of the two sports is basketball. I have played both sports since I was 5 years old. I am hoping to make the Travel Basketball Team next year. I am in the 4th grade where I have a lot of friends and do pretty well in school. I have been pretty healthy in my 10 years with just a history of strep infections. I had my tonsils removed last year and haven't been sick since for a long time. Over the past two weeks, I haven't felt like myself. I've been eating more than normal but I noticed that I have lost weight. I've also been thirsty and I've been going to the bathroom more than usual. During the past two practices, I have felt like I can't keep up with my friends and also have felt tired during school.
I. What meaning did you make from the patient monologue that you felt was important to note from a nursing perspective? Why do you feel it is important? How will you use this information during your care of this patient?
II. What assumptions, myths, or biases do you have about diabetes? Get the instant assignment help.
III. If you had 30 minutes to care for a newly diagnosed diabetic client (assume you are the primary RN), outline of your top assessments, interventions, and evaluations. Provide your rationale/evidence so that you can defend these positions in pre and debrief.
IV. Identify how you would make sure your care is patient/family-centered, safe, and developmentally appropriate.
V. Identify the top potential complications for this client and how you will monitor to identify and mitigate these risks.
