Case Study 1: You are a nurse in a community health center. A 72 year old man came in this morning complaining of feeling very fatigued for some time now. You interview him and find out that his wife of 45 years died suddenly six months ago. Mr. H. has three sons and a daughter. He and his wife owned a small farm in XX County* and they both still worked it and sold their crops at a farm stand until her death, he now does this alone. He is currently harvesting a crop of greens, squashes and tomatoes. Last year he was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and put on a regimen of Warfarin, in addition to Lipitor, Lasix and Metoprolol. He has the names written down on a paper, but says that his wife was in charge of health issues and he isn’t sure why he takes the medications. His BP was 100/52, pulse 48, respiration 18 and clear with some dyspnea on mild exertion. When you take his pulse you notice some bruising on the inner aspect of his right arm. Mr H. said he bumped his arm two weeks ago while getting out a pot to cook his kale. His daughter has been looking at some websites to help him with information about his medications. He has a general practitioner as well as a cardiologist, but they are located in the city which is 25 miles away. Mr. H. states that he doesn’t have the energy to go see them and doesn’t want to deal with the traffic, which is why he has come to the center. His neighbor was coming and offered to give him a ride. His truck has been having some engine problems that he hasn’t gotten around to fixing. Mr. H. recently forgot a family dinner and his son was upset and suggested that he start taking Gingko Biloba to help improve his memory. He has been taking this for almost a month now. Although he really doesn’t feel he has a memory problem, he is concerned that he may not have a good handle on the checkbook. His wife was also in charge of that. You are concerned about the family obtaining accurate information and meeting the needs of Mr. H. who has had many changes in a short period of time. He is agreeable to your suggestion for a family meeting where you can present a plan tailored to his needs that involves them all.
