Patient Y Exercise

Once Patient Y was placed in a labor room, treatment began immediately. As mentioned previously, the fetal heart rate decreased rapidly. During this time the nurse and physician performed several treatments in order to try and raise the fetal heart rate. First, the nurse applied 10L of oxygen via nasal cannula to the patient. Then, the nurse opened the Lactated Ringers wide so that they would enter the patient faster. Finally, the nurse changed the patient’s position from left sided to right sided and then to on all fours. These interventions did not improve the fetal heart rate. In order for the physician to determine that the fetal heart rate reading was completely accurate, he applied a fetal scalp electrode. The fetal heart rate reading
Several areas are assessed including: nature and function of blood, diet and nutrition, family and social support, pain, and medicine and herbs. Prior to the cesarean section, Patient Y did consent to a blood transfusion if needed during or after the procedure. She also expressed to the nurse that she only wanted her husband to be in the delivery room because of her personal beliefs. After the cesarean section, Patient Y stated that she was on a regular diet with no food allergies. Patient Y’s family is extremely involved and supportive. After delivery, her children, husband, mother and father, and her siblings all came to the hospital to support her and the new baby. Patient Y consented to all medications and treatment that would provide her with optimal care. Patient Y’s psychosocial assessment was appropriate for her age and character. Patient Y had no history of any mental or emotional issues. She interacted and communicated with her family and healthcare members appropriately. She was pleasant and cooperative throughout her entire stay, despite her
Roy’s Adaption Model is “based on the belief that a human being is an adaptive system that continuously changes and interacts with environmental stimuli”(Mete & Sercekus, 2015). “The factors that influenced the development of the model included: family, education, religious background, mentors, and clinical experience (“Roy Adaptation Model,” 2016).” According to Roy’s model our environment is constantly changing and we must be able to adapt to these changes. This correlates perfectly with Patient Y. She planned on being induced and delivering her baby vaginal, but instead her environment changed and she was rushed to the operating room for an emergency cesarean section. The model also mentions “health and illness are inevitable dimensions of a person’s life (site).” For Patient Y, there was nothing she could have done differently to change the outcome of her delivery. Instead she needed to accept those changes and be willing and able to adapt to them in order to care for herself and her newborn. Not only did the patient need to adapt to these changes, so did the heath care professionals. Both Patient Y and
