Case Study 1: TeamSTEPPS The scenario: (adapted from Haynes & Strickler, 2014): You are an RN on orientation who is orienting with the charge nurse on the shock-trauma hallway. You are also working with an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and trauma physician. When a trauma patient has significant pain, an order for morphine is yelled out during the chaos. Other orders are yelled out to check the blood pressure and heart rate and order a chest x-ray (CXR) stat. The charge nurse delegates to the
supported treatment for PTSD will assist in decreasing Matt’s depression PTSD symptomatology. Due to Matt’s PTSD symptomatology and presentation, Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) was used as the treatment approach. TF-CBT is an evidenced-based treatment approach that is designed to reduce negative emotional and behavioral responses following trauma and is based on learning and cognitive theories (Child Welfare Information Gateway, 2012). TF-CBT is a manualized, components based treatment
Psychology researchers have conducted many case studies and have spent countless hours reviewing case studies that have already been done to try to find the answer to the question, does childhood trauma cause and effect the symptoms of patients with psychological disorders such as Schizophrenia and Psychosis, or can the trauma cause a patient to have Schizophrenia or Psychosis. Many case studies’ findings state that there is a link. Some studies say only certain symptoms are affected. I want to
Fentanyl: Exploring the pre-hospital safety concerns in trauma patients, concerns relating to hypotension, hypoxemia, and isolated cases of refractory intracranial hypertension associated with closed head injury. Fentanyl, a schedule II synthetic opioid analgesic with a 10-20 minute half life, and a potency 75-125 times that of Morphine, is a favorite amongst paramedics in the pre- hospital environment. Fentanyl works as an agonist to the μ-opioid receptors mostly located presynaptically
Pediatric abusive head trauma, also known as shaken baby syndrome, is a devastating form of abuse. It occurs when a young child is violently shaken. The repeated shaking back and forth motion causes the child’s brain to bounce within the skull, resulting in bruising and swelling. This intentionally inflicted injury causes trauma to the head and neck region, including cranial, cerebral, and spinal injuries. It occurs in infants and small children because the muscles of the neck region aren’t strong
interventions that are inexpensive and takes a short period of time to learn and implement to immediate results of relaxation. Symptoms of trauma victims like depression, anxiety, and pain are reduced when these interventions are practiced and implemented. Although a limitation of the study is that the individuals were mostly men in the military, the study illustrates that proper implementation can assist clients like Jessica. Moreover, yoga, mantra, mindfulness, and meditation can decrease difficulty
Problems and causes of homelessness are closely intertwined, with many of the problems of homelessness also sharing common source with the causes of homelessness. Narrative comments are included. There are three central themes that are highlighted in the cases. Mental health plays a large role in the cause and problem of homelessness as displayed by Stephanie’s experience as “her parents asked her to leave home. Stephanie had suffered from anxieties and bipolar”. Abusive relationships are also experienced
included nurses, physicians, pre-hospital personnel, respiratory therapists and radiology. After completion participants completed a 16 question survey which was analyzed for participants perceptions of the course. Furthermore 541 cases were reviewed from the hospital’s trauma registry reviewing length of stay (LOS), 6 months and 12 months before and after the implementation of RTTDC (Hlaing Zhu et al., 2011). Analysis of the data showed participants strongly agreed they gained knowledge from the course
bipolar disorder are psychological trauma and neurobiological abnormalities. I argue that researching psychological trauma is the best way to understand and treat the disorder; however inconsistencies and lack of research in both psychology and neuroscience has led researchers to misinterpret data thus creating false conclusions. Bipolar disorder is considered to be on a spectrum that ranges in symptoms and severity and is directly related to psychological trauma and genetic composition. Bipolar I
three things in the medical fields that interests me the most which are trauma surgeons, medical examiners, and neurosurgeons. I’m going to tell you about all three of these careers, what they all do, and much, much more. To become a surgeon of any kind you need to take college course like Anatomy, Biology, English or speech class, calculus, a few classes in biochemistry, health science, or a relate. Trauma Surgeons Trauma surgeons are physicians (MBBS, MBChB, MB, and MD) or (DO) who have completed
