Discussion Points:
- Assessment and Diagnosis:
While Emily continues to feel pain I will ask related questions. For instance, the duration, any relevant medical history symptoms before so on. After that I would take a physical examination to emphasize the abdominal area and note any signs of peritonitis.
There would be a laboratory testing the Blood count and Pee cup.
- Patient Management:
The next step there is an Ultrasound to visualize an inflamed appendix.
To minimize the pain of Emily I would give her Tylenol with parents consent.
3. Communication with Family:
I would communicate with Emily’s mother in a neutral of verbal and non verbal communication and how serious the situation is provided the information that let the parents know that Emily will be going to surgery.
I would give the parents information about the appendicitis and what is the cause and reason why this could be accusing to their child also a parenting support environment.
4. Preparation for Procedure:
the information that I would give out to the parents will be a brief description of the appendicitis based on Emily’s symptoms and give a clear communication about the surgical removal. I would get her ready for the surgery and the surgeon will prepare themselves for Emily’s operation.
5. Post-Procedure Care:
I would inform Emily’s mother step by step how to take care of Emily’s pain with medications or surgical procedures.
6. Documentation and Follow-Up:
Send every information that the patient will need to know about her in (EHR) to the parent.
give Emily a check up plan/appointment and let the parents know when should be her next visit.
7. Interprofessional Collaboration:
A pediatrician, pediatric surgeon, radiologist, and nurses.
– I would communicate clearly in person and in the EHR I would give a treatment plan, involve family and education also support.
objective:
Clear communication with Emily and her family
Calmly prepare and get family ready for Emily surgery
Give a supportive environment for both family members
