Unit VI Case Study Worksheet Directions: Below is a case study presentation of a patient with a condition covered in this chapter. Read the case study and answer the questions below. Some questions will ask for information not included within this chapter. Use your textbook, a medical dictionary, Be sure to use APA formatting for all citations and references.

Patient is seen by obstetrician today for moderate vaginal bleeding without any cramping or pelvic pain. Patient is 23 years old. She is currently estimated to be at 175 days of gestation. Amniocentesis at 20 weeks indicated male fetus with no evidence of genetic or developmental disorders. This patient is multigravida but nullipara with three early spontaneous abortions without obvious causes. She was diagnosed with cancer of the left ovary 4 years ago. It was treated with a left oophorectomy and chemotherapy. She continues to undergo full-body CT scan every six months, and there has been no evidence of cancer since that time. Pelvic ultrasound indicates placenta previa with placenta almost completely overlying cervix. However, there is no evidence of abruptio placentae at this time. Fetal size estimate is consistent with 25 weeks of gestation. Fetal monitoring revealed that the FHR is strong with a rate of 130 beats/minute. The placenta appears to be well attached on ultrasound, but the bleeding is cause for concern. With the extremely low position of the placenta, this patient is at very high risk for developing abruptio placentae. She may require early delivery by cesarean section if bleeding increases. She will definitely require C-section at onset of labor.

1. Describe in your own words the treatment this patient received for her ovarian cancer. What procedure does she continue to have every six months?

2. This patient had an amniocentesis at 20 weeks of gestation. Describe this procedure and why it is performed.

3. What occurred during this patient’s first three pregnancies? Describe what terminated the pregnancies.

4. Describe what fetal monitoring is. What is FHR?

5. This patient has placenta previa. What procedure discovered this condition? The physician, however, is much more concerned about abruptio placentae. Explain why.

6. How will this infant need to be delivered? Describe this procedure.

A community resource that is available in the author’s local community is March of Dimes. The March of Dimes is an organization that has been helping women and their children for 80 years.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 out of 10 infants born were preterm in 2016. (CDC, 2017). Preterm births put the infant at risk for long lasting health conditions and even death. Infants born preterm and low birth weight are at risk of having problems breathing, developmental delays, vision disturbances, and hearing problems because their organs did not fully develop (CDC, 2017). Here in the United States, African Americans are twice as likely to have an infant born premature than White (CDC, 2017). Teens, women >35 years of age, and women with low income are all at risk to deliver infants with a low birth weight. Women who use tobacco or substance abuse are also at greater risks (CDC, 2017).

This causes a great deal of strain on the healthcare system, but also for the family. Families often need to travel out of town to be with their infant, which causes stress, increased expenses, and loss of income. Once the infant can go home, there may be additional supplies and resources needed to care for their little one, which adds more financial strain on the family. According to the March of Dimes, preterm births costs employers 12.7 billion dollars a year (March of Dimes, 2018).

A community resource that is available in the author’s local community is March of Dimes. The March of Dimes is an organization that has been helping women and their children for 80 years. The March of Dimes focuses on prevention of birth defects and assisting families whose delivery did not go as planned, and their child needs advanced care such as NICU (March of Dimes, 2018). March of Dimes is a great resource from prenatal to after the delivery of their child. March of Dimes has a vast amount of information and resources that are helpful for families caring for a child that is preterm, or has a birth defect.

The Process of Benchmarking

The Process of Benchmarking

In order to be competitive in health care markets, organizations must ensure that the services they provide are consistent in pricing and quality with other comparable organizations. In this Discussion, you will examine how the process of benchmarking, or comparing organizations, is important in financial decision making.
To prepare:

Review the information on benchmarking found in this week’s Learning Resources.
Search the Walden Library or other reliable resources on the Internet and locate a journal article discussing how a health care organization has used the principle of benchmarking.
How could the concept of benchmarking be used in your own organization (or one with which you are familiar), regardless of size?
Consider how benchmarking could be useful to you in decision making.
Analyze the potential risks of making a faulty comparison.

Post a summary of the article you found (including the APA reference) and explain how it informed your understanding of benchmarking. Discuss how benchmarking could be used for financial decision making in your own organization (or one with which you are familiar). Also analyze the potential risks of making comparisons with an organization that is not a credible match with your own.
