Maria Perez is a patient arriving from the Emergency Department (ED) with acute heart failure and confusion

Subject:NursingPrice: Bought3

Maria Perez is a patient arriving from the Emergency Department (ED) with acute heart failure and confusion. Betty, the licensed practical nurse/licensed vocational nurse (LPN/LVN) who receives the call from the ED, recognizes the patient's name and volunteers to take Maria as a patient. While getting Maria settled, Betty recognizes that this patient needs more care than she expected. 

SCENE 1: The cardiac care unit receives a call from the ED about a new admission: Maria Perez, a patient with heart failure. Betty, a LPN/LVN, answers the phone and volunteers to take this patient, as Ms. Perez has been admitted here before and Betty has cared for her previously. Betty then assesses the patient and finds that the patient is confused and her vitals are not stable.

 

SCENE 2: Betty goes to the RN, Samantha, who is about to see another patient, to express her concern. Betty is correctly notifying the RN of this urgent situation. Betty agrees to administer meds for Samantha so she can see Maria immediately.

?4. What could happen if Samantha refused to see Maria because she was too busy?
