As Gina walked down the hall toward the pediatric unit, she thought about the first time she was ever on the floor. She was a senior nursing student at the local college receiving her bachelor’s degree in nursing. It only seemed like yesterday, however, three years had passed since then and she loved caring for children. The noise coming from the hallway was a little louder than usual so she was anticipating a busy evening shift. As she turned the corner, she realized that the noise wasn’t due to an overly busy unit, instead, the noise was that of one of the day nurses, Connie, who was speaking quite slowly but in a very loud voice. She was giving some sort of instructions to the people in room 202. As usual, Gina put her supper into the fridge in the break room and then went into the report room. After about a fiveminute delay, Connie came storming into the report room looking very frustrated. “Talk about non-compliance,” Connie blurted. “I can’t get that family to understand anything I say!” Connie begins her report on the patient in room 202. “This Mexican family walks in with their six month old baby who is obviously dehydrated and needs fluids. The nurse at the clinic said the baby had diarrhea for three days now and just kept getting worse. I go to start the IV in her forearm and I cut off this ragged, old red string they had tied around her wrist. The mother screamed and yelled something to me in Spanish. I couldn’t understand a word she was saying. Anyway, I was able to get the IV in right away and tried telling the mother why it was so important that the baby receive these fluids. All she did was look at me and nod. Plus, they have three generations of family in there tripping over one another. All I can say is I’m glad my shift is over. Good luck with them tonight.” After report was completed, Gina read the kardex for the baby in room 202. It described the baby’s dehydrated condition but that was it. There was no information about the family, their language preference, where they are from, simply no other data. Information in the baby’s chart proved to be a little more helpful. The family identified themselves as Hispanic, their permanent residence was in Texas, they were a migrant family doing fieldwork in northern Minnesota during the summer months, and the pay source for their health care was Medicare. Gina knew that in order to provide good nursing care she had to build a sense of trust with this family. Gina had worked with Hispanic families before and understood many of their health care practices and beliefs, but it had been awhile so she refreshed her knowledge by looking up some information in a book her boss had just bought that described caring for a variety of cultures. She entered the patient’s room and there was an elderly woman, an elderly man, the mother of the baby, two women in their teens, and a child around three years of age. Gina approached the elderly male first, said “Hola,” and shook his hand. She then repeated this behavior by addressing the oldest to the youngest person in the room. When Gina asked the mother of the baby if she spoke English, one of the teenage girls said, “No, she speaks only a few words of English. But, I go to summer school here so I speak very good English.” Gina assessed the baby who was in stable condition and excused herself to go to the phone to call for a Spanish interpreter. When the interpreter arrived, Gina explained the situation to her and they both went into the patient’s room. It was during this time that Gina learned that the baby had diarrhea for five days. The family had utilized many folk remedies including pushing on the top of the baby’s palate, holding the baby over a boiling pot of water, and giving the baby bottles of manzanilla tea first alone, but then later on they added greta. The mother brought in some bottles for the baby. It was only after the baby became quite listless that they went to the clinic and now the hospital. … NURS 342 – Care of Diverse Populations Gina’s Case Study Purchase answer to see full attachment Student has agreed that all tutoring, explanations, and answers provided by the tutor will be used to help in the learning process and in accordance with Studypool’s honor code & terms of service .
