Davis Company 34 Case Study: Episode 1 Joe Brown is a 76-year-old male patient who presents to his healthcare provider from his nursing home residence with a painful, red, swollen abdominal surgical wound that is warm to the touch and is draining pus. Joe had a cholecystectomy last week and is returning to his healthcare provider to get the staples removed. Joe has just finished his antibiotics. He takes metformin for his diabetes mellitus type 2 and is on Coumadin for atrial fibrillation. Copyright ©2024 F.A. Davis Company 35 Case Study: Episode 2 With a temperature of 100.5°F, and purulent drainage from the wound, the physician decides not to take out the staples at this time and admit him to the hospital. Mr. Brown’s abdominal wound is cultured. It is determined that he has an MRSA infection. His vital signs are: (BP): 110/66 (HR): 110; atrial fibrillation noted on ECG (RR): 18 (T): 100.5°F (38°C) Bedside blood glucose monitoring: 140 Copyright ©2024 F.A. Davis Company 36 12 4/29/2024 Case Study: Episode 2 (continued_1) Because of his history of diabetes and the presence of atrial fibrillation, it is essential that Mr. Brown receives prompt attention for his wound infection to avoid a systemic infection. He started on a course of IV vancomycin to be given every 12 hours. Copyright ©2024 F.A. Davis Company 37 Case Study: Wrap-up Upon his admission to the hospital, and although the wound is open in areas and draining, Mr. Brown’s abdominal sutures are removed. The wound is irrigated; a sterile dressing is applied. The wound is left open and unsutured to facilitate drainage and allow for wound care. After 2 days and four doses of 1 g of IV vancomycin administration, Mr. Brown’s wound infection is resolving. He remains in the hospital for 1 more day and two more doses of IV vancomycin. A vital sign check reveals: BP: 130/80 HR: 80; atrial fibrillation still present RR: 18 T: 98°F (37°C) Bedside glucose monitoring: 98 Copyright ©2024 F.A. Davis Company 38 Case Study: Wrap-up (continued_1) At discharge, Mr. Brown receives instructions that include how to monitor his wound and follow-up with the nursing home staff is arranged to help with dressing-change management. A follow-up appointment with his provider is set up for 2 weeks postdischarge. Mr. Brown is counseled to report any changes in the wound to his healthcare provider. Copyright ©2024 F.A.
