Talk to Preceptor Diana like you would your charge nurse. You will not be automatically scored on your choices or responses in this activity, but your instructor may choose to review your responses. Exam Action 09/17/20 11:06 AM CDT Proceed. Question 09/17/20 11:06 AM CDT Let's walk through your concerns together. We will begin by talking about the subjective data you collected that raised concerns about abuse. Then, we will address objective data that may indicate abuse. Finally, we will discuss why you think this data is a sign of risk of abuse. Remember that you do not need to speculate about what specifically happened to Landon or who is responsible. You only need to identify data that indicates that there is an elevated risk of abuse in this situation. Can you tell me what subjective data you collected that increased your index of suspicion for abuse? Landon has no previous history of hospitalizations. His mother introduced him to her boyfriend of 7 months, just a few weeks ago and he's been visiting every day since then. Landon says, "I don't want to be home." Question 09/17/20 11:08 AM CDT I understand. You did the right thing escalating your concerns. Let's continue to look at the data you collected Can you tell me the objective data you collected that increased your index of suspicion for abuse? Landon has a dark bruise on his back from one side to the other. Question 09/17/20 11:09 AM CDT I see why you approached me to escalate your concerns about abuse. Let's review all the data we've discussed before we report this case to Child Protective Services. Look over the subjective and objective data that elevated your index of suspicion for abuse. Why did you include each of these items? Objective: Landon's arm is hurt and the bruise on his upper left arm does not look natural as the bruise is wrapped around his arm. There is also a dark bruise across on his lower back. Subjective data: Landon reports he "does not want to be at home." Question 09/17/20 11:12 AM CDT Good. It looks like we're ready to report. You and Diana contact Child Protective Services with the apppropriate information. They will promptly conduct an investigation. Exam Action 09/17/20 11:12 AM CDT I know it's not easy to raise concerns about abuse, but you did the right thing for Landon. The next step is to talk to Heather about what will happen next. Now you will have a conversation with Heather about the decision to escalate your concerns of physical abuse. This will be a stressful conversation for Heather, so utilize your therapeutic communication skills and choose your words carefully. You will not be automatically scored on your choices or responses in this activity, but your instructor may choose to review your responses. Exam Action 09/17/20 11:13 AM CDT I am ready to begin the conversation with Heather. Question 09/17/20 11:13 AM CDT Hey, um, what's going on here? Some of the questions you've been asking are starting to make me nervous. You can't just keep me in the dark here . . . if something is going on, I need to know about it. Explain to Heather that you are a mandatory reporter, and as such you have reported Landon's case for potential physical abuse. Be sure to stick to factual information and avoid speculation or opinion. Exam Action 09/17/20 11:13 AM CDT I am mandated to report suspicions of child abuse. Children often bruse around bony prominences such as knees and elbows. The bruising on his back isn't naturally where children get bruised. The bruise around his upper left arm does not look like an accident. Landon's report of "not wanting to be home" is another red flag. Question 09/17/20 11:15 AM CDT What?! That's absolutely ridiculous, I would never let anything like that happen to my son. Landon's afraid. He's in a lot of pain. And now we're going to have to stay here for this? I can't believe this . . . Respond to Heather, communicating that care of Landon's physical injury will definitely continue and that you and the hospital are still there for the both of them. Exam Action 09/17/20 11:15 AM CDT Landon's injury still needs to be observed and we're going to continue to take care of him, including you. If you have any other quesitons, you're welcome to ask. Question 09/17/20 11:16 AM CDT I appreciate that, I do, but I just . . . you don't seriously think I would let that happen, do you? Or that I could do it myself? That Donnie could? God, I know he's not great with kids but I'm having a hard time believing that he's capable of something like this. Let Heather know that you cannot speculate on what happened or did not happen, but that it is simply your due diligence to report your findings, as your only priority is the safety of Landon. Exam Action 09/17/20 11:16 AM CDT I cannot speculate what happened but if there is a suspicion of abuse, I have to report it. Question 09/17/20 11:16 AM CDT No, I . . . I get that. Obviously Landon is my only priority . . . things have just been so busy at work lately and . . . God . . . Look, if anyone is hurting Landon, I need to know who it is for certain so I can press charges or do whatever I need to do to make sure that this never happens again. Ask Heather about home safety and if she may be at risk for abuse herself. Exam Action 09/17/20 11:17 AM CDT Is your home childproofed? Are there safety locks and cords are put away? Do you feel safe at home as well? Question 09/17/20 11:17 AM CDT I haven't known Donnie for very long but if I had even an inkling that he was getting violent with me or with Landon, I would have either left or called the police or . . . something. I'm sorry, my mind is just racing right now, trying to think what I missed or how I didn't see this . . . what, um . . . what happens now? Explain the next steps of the process to Heather empathetically and accurately. Exam Action 09/17/20 11:18 AM CDT We're going to continue to take care of you. Social services is going to be involved and law enforcement will be contacted. We're going to be here for you so if you have any questions, you're welcome to ask. Question 09/17/20 11:18 AM CDT OK. I'm just . . . this is not OK. Not you, you're just doing your job, I know that. I just feel horrible . . . but we need to get to the bottom of this, for his sake. So I'll do whatever it takes to make sure if something is going on, that it'll never happen again. Reassure Heather that the hospital is going to do everything possible to keep Landon safe through the process and say goodbye. Exam Action 09/17/20 11:19 AM CDT When these kinds of occurences happen, and at all times, we do our best to keep our patients safe. That also includes you. If Landon continues to be in pain, we can give him pain medication. We can give him ice to help with the pain as well. If you need anything else, just ask. Question 09/17/20 11:20 AM CDT OK, we'll wait for the next steps then . . . and thank you. Really, nurse. You have successfully communicated the child safety protocol to Heather and informed her of the situation at hand. Scenarios like these can be difficult to think about and will be even more difficult in actual practice to walk through. It is important to remember that your role is not to figure out the explicit details of what has occurred or "solve" the situation, but rather to uphold and protect the patient's safety and provide them with the treatment that they need. Exam Action 09/17/20 11:20 AM CDT You have completed this situation and performed all your duties appropriately while staying empathetic to the patient's needs. Exam Action 09/17/20 11:20 AM CDT I have created a care plan that will focus on decreasing his pain to 2/10 or less in the next 2 hours. I will continue to assess for presence of pain by asking if on a scale of 0-10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst, or, I will base it on how he is expressing it by face. Upon the provider's order, I will be able to give Landon some pain medication. We also have some activities for Landon to help forget the pain. In the meantime, again, we will continue to assess his pain. Educate 09/17/20 11:29 AM CDT Alright. That makes sense. I want to be kept in the loop with all of Landon's treatment. Parents are always part of the care team. Educate 09/17/20 11:29 AM CDT Alright. I just want what's best for Landon. Would you like to proceed with the care plan? Educate 09/17/20 11:30 AM CDT You have my permission. Upon the doctor's order, I will be able to give him some pain medication. In the meantime, we can ice it if he'd like? Educate 09/17/20 11:30 AM CDT Ok. Landon, we're going to focus on bringing your pain down in the next 2 hours. When I get the doctor's order, we'll give you some medicine and continue to see if your pain gets better. We'll have some activities for you to do if you'd like? Educate 09/17/20 11:31 AM CDT Umm, ok. Our goal with you is to bring your pain down to a 2/10 and we will continue to assess for that after we get the doctor's order to give you some pain medication. In the meantime we can do some activities of your choice? Educate 09/17/20 11:32 AM CDT Umm, I'm not sure. If Mommy says ok. May we continue with this care plan? Educate 09/17/20 11:33 AM CDT Um. I don't want my arm to hurt. Subjective Data Collection: 26 of 26 (100.0%) Hover To Reveal...
