Case Study: Mr. D.

Directions: Read the case study below. Evaluate the information and formulate a conclusion based on your evaluation. Complete the critical thinking table and submit this completed template to the assignment dropbox.

Case Study: Mr. D.

It is necessary for an RN-BSN-prepared nurse to demonstrate an enhanced understanding of the pathophysiological processes of disease, the clinical manifestations and treatment protocols, and how they affect clients across the life span.

Evaluate the Health History and Medical Information for Mr. D., presented below.

Health History and Medical Information

Mr. D. is a 65-year-old male nonadherence diabetic with end-stage renal disease receiving dialysis. He is a retired certified public accountant in the last 5 years and practices the Muslim faith. He reports that he avoids all pork products. His complaints included decreased balance, loss of sensation, fear of falling, and decreased endurance during activities of daily living due to the effects of dialysis treatment. Patient’s previous medical evaluation includes end stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis and referral for recommendations for initiating exercise program. Patient comorbidities include obesity with a body mass index (BMI) of 45, type II diabetes mellitus with long-term insulin use, hypertension, sleep apnea, depression with lack of family support and understanding, and diabetic neuropathy. Patient denies suicidal ideation but does report feelings of loneliness and helplessness. Mr. D. reports increasing shortness of breath with activity, swollen ankles, and pruritus over the last 6 months.
