AKI

 

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is highly prevalent in ICU settings and requires significant consideration.  AKI is rarely attributed to a single factor, and most critically ill patients who develop AKI have coexisting conditions.

Many forms of AKI are preventable and patients at risk should be evaluated early according to clinical condition and biomarkers.  Discuss AKI prevention and pharmacological treatment strategies.  Include specific recommendations for preventing or treating drug-induced AKI.

CASE STUDY: Active Labor: Susan Wong

Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions. Please provide evidence-based rationales for your answers. APA, 7th ed. Citations must be followed.

CASE STUDY: Active Labor: Susan Wong

Mrs. Wong, a first-time mother, is admitted to the birthing suite in early labor after spontaneous rupture of membranes at home. She is at 38 weeks of gestation with a history of abnormal alpha-fetoprotein levels at 16 weeks of pregnancy. She was scheduled for ultrasonography to visualize the fetus to rule out an open spinal defect or Down syndrome, but never followed through. Mrs. Wong and her husband disagreed about what to do (keep or terminate the pregnancy) if the ultrasonography indicated a spinal problem, so they felt they did not want this information.

Reflective Questions 

1. As the nurse, what priority data would you collect from this couple to help define relevant interventions to meet their needs?

2. How can you help this couple if they experience a negative outcome in the birthing suite? What are your personal views on terminating or continuing a pregnancy with a risk of a potential anomaly? What factors may influence your views? 

3. With the influence of the recent Human Genome Project and the possibility of predicting open spinal defects earlier in pregnancy, how will maternity care change in the future?

discussion 4

 

Richard is a 62-year-old single man who says that his substance dependence and his bipolar disorder both emerged in his late teens.  He says that he started to drink to “feel better” when his episodes of depression made it hard for him to interact with his peers.  He also states that alcohol and cocaine are a natural part of his manic episodes.  He also notes that coming off the cocaine and binge drinking contribute to low mood, but he has not responded well to referrals to AA and past inpatient stays have led to only temporary abstinence.  Yet, Richard is now trying to forge a closer relationship with his adult children, and he says he is especially motivated to get a better handle on both his bipolar disorder and his substance use.  He has been more compliant with his mood stabilizing and antidepressant medication, and his psychiatric provider would like his dual diagnoses addressed with psychotherapy. What diagnostic information would be most critical to collect in the first visit? Which diagnostic measures are recommended by the US clinical guidelines for the treatment of this patient’s family problem? Which evidence based harm reduction strategies would you recommend to treat this patient? Identify your city. Then refer this patient to three agencies near you that would support positive health outcomes for this patient.  (These agencies must not have been used in past discussion posts). What was your rationale for choosing these three agencies?
