Directions:
Pain tolerance and perception is different in every individual. You will care for patients that have chronic pain issues and develop a high tolerance for pain medications. The patient rates his pain as a 8-9/10 but does not look like they are in pain!! How can you accurately assess these type of patients and what do you do if they ask for more pain medication?

Your patient is a 52-year-old male with a history of smoking and alcohol abuse. He presents to the ED with complaints of “my skin looks yellow, my stomach hurts, and I feel nauseous”. He is taken to CT and a tumor near the pancreas is observed. It appears to be blocking the common bile duct. Develop a plan of care for the patient. Use the attached concept map.

Clinical Question – Formulate a clinical question using the PICOT format.
P: Patient Population
I: Intervention or area on Interest
C: Comparison intervention or group
O: Outcome
T: Time
Ex: “In acute care hospitals (patient population), how does having a rapid response team (intervention) compared with not having a response team (comparison) affect the number of cardiac arrests (outcome) during a three-month period (time)?”

A 25-year-old presented to the labor and delivery unit with complaints of uterine cramping and lower back pain. The client denied any vaginal bleeding and had a history of preterm birth at 32 weeks (about 7 and a half months) gestation with her last pregnancy. The baby from that pregnancy is three years old has no developmental issues. The client’s gestational age is 30 weeks (about 7 months). She is O+, and all other lab values are normal. No evidence of sexually transmitted infections (STI’s).
(Group Beta Strep is missing from the labs and most often is obtained at 35 – 37 weeks (about 8 and a half months) gestation. Without this information, it is often determined to treat the patient anyway, to protect a premature baby from the risk.)
What additional information should the nurse obtain from the client?
What nursing intervention is most appropriate in this situation?
What screening tests should be obtained to determine the risk for preterm labor?
If the client is in preterm labor, what medications would the nurse expect to be ordered, and what are the priorities for the nurse to assess post-administration? (Include dose, side effects and expected outcomes of the medication).

Part 1: Psychopathology
Jax is a 66-year-old Caucasian female whose wife has encouraged her to seek treatment. She has never been in therapy before, and has no history of depression or anxiety. However, her alcohol use has recently been getting in the way of her marriage, and interfering with her newly-retired life. She describes drinking increasing amounts over the last year, currently consuming approximately a six-pack of beer per day. She notes that this amount “doesn’t give me the same buzz as it used to.” She denies ever experiencing “the shakes” or any other withdrawal symptoms if she skips a day of drinking.
Jax comments that her wife is her biggest motivation to decrease her alcohol use. She tells Jax that she gets argumentative and irritable when she drinks, though she does not always remember these incidents. She has also fallen while intoxicated twice, causing bruises both times and hitting her head on one of the occasions.

The following passage is very old but quite profound. It situates leadership as having the potential to impact others both negatively and positively. Indeed, research shows that the number one reason employees leave a position is due to their immediate superior.William Q. Judge in The Leader’s Shadow (1999): Just as people cast physical shadows, they also cast psychological shadows (Jung 1923, 1933). Psychological shadows can provide much valuable information if we are creative enough to engage them directly in what has been called “shadow work” (Zweig & Wolf, 1997). Unlike conventional work, which focuses on material progress and tangible results, shadow work requires us to go within and learn from our inner being. Implicit to the shadow-work notion is the idea that a shadow is cast inside as well as outside of ourself. Although shadow work is difficult work-some say the most difficult work there is (Bly, 1988; Zweig & Wolf, 1997), the rewards that stem from it are enormous and ongoing. Everyone casts a shadow (Zweig & Wolf, 1997), but shadows created by individuals in leadership positions are particularly noteworthy (Palmer, 1994). Due to the glare focused on their elevated positions within organizations, leaders often cast the longest and darkest shadows. The metaphor of a physical shadow is a vivid one that reminds us that even though psychological shadow work requires individual effort, it often affects others in dramatic and unexpected ways. Parker Palmer (1994) defines a leader as “a person who has an unusual degree of power to project on other people his or her shadow or his or her light” (p. 24). Like our physical shadows, our psychological shadows are often projected unconsciously. Unlike physical shadows projected psychological shadows can do great harm to others if we are in leadership positions and our shadow is large and unrecognized. In other words, a leader is a person who has the opportunity to shape a group’s or an organization’s destiny so that the act of leadership can be as illuminating as a clear summer day or as dark as a cold winter night. Judge, W. (1999).The leader’s shadow: Exploring and developing executive character. Thousand Oaks, Ca: Sage“Shadow Work” requires leaders to explore their shadow side; why do you do the things you do? What drives your interactions with others? This is serious self-reflection work.
Compose a reflection write up on the following:
Have you cast a dark shadow on others? Were you aware of it at the time?
Has a leader cast a dark shadow on you? How did it feel to you at the time?
Do you have insight into your shadows?
Consider yourself a leader who casts light. What would this look like to you?
