Hospitalized Patient and Collaborative Care Presentation
SDV 101 – Introduction to Health Professions
Syllabus
Introduction:
You will research your assigned career for the next two weeks and submit a written assignment on how your assigned career cares for the case study patient. You are detailing the information found on your hospitalized patient investigation and will upload your information onto the Discussion Board thread in Bb. The research and information you create will be focused on a single discipline and that disciplines role in the collaboration with other health professionals as well as the treatment of this individual.
Case:
A 65-year old female is transferred to your facility for evaluation prior to hip replacement surgery. Her medical history reveals a history of smoking (1 pack/day for 30 years) and is significant for hypertension and diabetes, both controlled with medication. Her medical history is also significant because she has been prone to heterotopic bone formation (the presence of bone where bone does not normally exist). The primary care physician is concerned that the risk of more heterotopic bone growth will negatively impact the success of the joint replacement surgery. The physician orders treatment for the heterotopic bone growth prior to the joint replacement surgery.
