Assessment Structure

Case Scenario :-
James Miller an 86 year old man with type 2 diabetes Mellitus osteoarthritis and hypertension has lived in an Aged Care Facility for three years. James was admitted to the local hospital one week ago for community acquired pneumonia and returned to the facility yesterday.

During his hospitalisation he experienced unstable blood glucose levels, so his oral hypoglycaemics were ceased and he was commenced on Lantus insulin 20 units nocte. James’s usual medications prior to admission to hospital included glipizide 10 mg and metformin 1,000 mg once a day. James was discharged to the aged care facility at 7.30 pm on a Saturday due to the need for his hospital bed. The medical officer completing the discharge medication form inadvertently included James’s usual oral hypoglycaemic medication in addition to the Lantus on the discharge medication chart.

On arrival at the Aged Care Facility, Anne Thomson the Registered Nurse looking after James read through his hospital discharge information and then filed it in his chart without ringing the General Practitioner and notifying him of James’s return to the facility and his current discharge medications. She did send the General Practitioner a fax informing him of James’s return but the GP would not receive this
until Monday. Anne had graduated one month ago and this was her first employment as a Registered Nurse.

She also did not identify that both James’s usual oral hypoglycaemics and Lantus were ordered and so she administered the oral hypoglycaemics as charted. Later that afternoon James was found to be cold clammy and unresponsive by nursing staff. James’s blood glucose level was found to be 2.1 mmol l and Anne organised for James to be urgently transported to hospital by ambulance.
