This surgery is currently scheduled for 1 week from today.Presenting complaintOver the past 2 months Audrey has been experiencing increasing back pain, radiating down he right leg as well as numbness and tingling in both legs. Over the past 2 weeks Audrey has noted pain on walking and experiencing palpitations which she has linked to her pain. Audrey rates her pain at its worst is 8/10 although on good days she can achieve 4/10 with her analgesia.

Her employer has been supportive and have now altered her client case load to reduce the physical lifting work required. She has never smoked and drinks on special occasions only. Her appetite is good and her diet is varied. When asked about her fluid intake she tells you she doesn’t really like water but she does drink 10-12 cups of coffee each day.

Routine observations Blood pressure 150/87 Heart rate 147Oxygen Saturations 98% room airRespiratory rate 18Temperature 37.1 Standard bloodwork was taken as part of the assessment relating to the surgery required Full Blood Count, Urea &Electrolytes, Coagulation screen, Group and Save and an MRSA screen has been completed as pre protocol. ECG shows atrial fibrillation, uncontrolled rate (147bpm) After discussing with the consultant anesthetist, it was decided Audrey should be admitted for heart rate control, she should be commenced on an anticoagulant and beta blocker, should have an ECHO arranged and surgery should be postponed until her heart rate is controlled. Audrey will also need to re-attend pre assessment prior to rescheduled surgery as she will require specific guidance on medication management preoperatively. Scenario one questions 1) Discuss the normal structure and function of the hearts electrical system and describe what changes may have happened to cause Audrey’s atrial fibrillation (10 marks)2) Describe the mechanism of action of each of the two drugs Audrey has been prescribed and what the anesthetist is hoping they will achieve for her. (10 marks)3) Identify one potential risk that will impact on Audrey following the cancellation of her surgery and how can you as the preassessment nurse take action to reduce or prevent this risk from occurring. Ensure you include the evidence base for your intervention/recommendation as well as rationale for your decision. (10 marks)4) Describe a current health promotion initiative could patients with cardiovascular problems engage with to help moderate risk of long term problems and illustrate the benefits of this initiative to both patient and health service. Scenario two: Daniel is a 48 year old patient who lives in a supported accommodation facility due to a diagnosis of Down’s Syndrome. He has recently attended the haematology department following a referral from his GP after some abnormal blood work. Daniel has been given a provisional likely diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and advised he will need to start a regime of chemotherapy in the next month. He requires some preparatory tests before this and you meet with him as his case worker to discuss the reason for these and check he understands all that he was told during the consultation. He was supported to the appointment by his maternal auntie as both his parents are deceased. He has capacity and has consented to the chemotherapy. Daniel is independent in his ADLs and has a job working in a supermarket bakery part time. His primary reason for living in supported accommodation is to receive support in managing his financial affairs, as well as companionship. He has a good relationship with his auntie, but she lives an hour away and is still working and has family of her own. When his parents passed away it was decided he would move into his current residence to support him in maintaining his independence whilst having access to the necessary support. He is settled in the community and his work. When you meet with Daniel, he tells you he understands he has cancer and needs treatment to help him. He is most upset about not being able to work during his treatment and he asks you if he’ll be able to continue to attend his football training which he goes to on a Saturday morning. He admits he has been more tired after these sessions recently, but he enjoys going and they often go to a pub or café for lunch after training. He also tells you the lump under his arm, that took him to the GP is getting bigger and he’s worried about it. The haematologist he saw has given him some steroid medication to help reduce this swelling before he starts his treatment but he hasn’t taken it yet as he googled the name of the medicine, dexamethasone, and what he read scared him. He also has to go for a scan of his heart, which he understands is to do with how much medicine he can have. During this part of the conversation he becomes distressed and admits he is scared. Scenario two questions: 1) Describe the pathophysiological changes that occur when cancer happens. What common side effects might a patient experience and why do these occur. (10 marks)2) Describe how chemotherapy works to fight cancer and what side effects might be caused by Daniel’s treatment (10 marks)3) Identify an additional care need that Daniel may develop following his diagnosis or treatment. How would you as his case worker support him with this need to minimise its impact (10 marks)4) Identify a current health promotion initiative that’s aiming to improve cancer survival and describe how this initiative is aiming to improve the situation for patients and the health service (10 marks)
