In this project, you will complete a clinical case study analysis, research review, and oral presentation about the pathophysiology of your chosen topic. In this project, you will work in groups of two to four people. You will present as a group and receive a participation/collaboration grade. You will also be graded based on your individual contribution to the content.

Your presentations should follow a case study SBAR format (situation, background, assessment, and recommendations). Include four (4) different medical-based evidence and/or research recommendations. You must include at least five (5) scholarly sources in your overall presentation.

Your group presentation should include:

Introduction to the case or situation
Background detail
Clinical assessment
Recommendations
Application to future practice
At least five (5) scholarly references supporting your ideas
The use of audiovisual aids such as PowerPoint, DVD clips, sound effects, posters, radiology films, medical reports, etc.
Opportunities for engagement with the audience such as a question and answer session

Submit your PowerPoint and any handouts to the assignment dropbox before your presentation. You may submit just your portion of the overall presentation OR submit the entire presentation; be clear which section you are responsible for.

Review the rubric for grading criteria.

*HIPPA Compliance: If you are using an actual person for your case study, please see your instructor to obtain a HIPPA release form so that we are in compliance with the Health Information Patient Privacy Act.

**At some campuses, there will be an incorporation of the “Team Teach” collaboration model where nursing faculty are invited to come and observe the presentations and give feedback from a clinical perspective. Your instructor will inform you if this is a requirement.

once accepted I will send what I have and then you will have to add whatever is missing and also reread and make sure everything is good. add at any part that you feel I have missed something

I need the paper and also the powerpoint

1. Introduction to the case or situation
Mathew is a 66-year-old male who decides to visit his local emergency department. He reports that he is
experiencing congestion and has had a persistent cough for the past 7 days. He explains that he recently
traveled to Colorado to visit his mother who had the flu. Upon his arrival to Los Angeles, he began
feeling flu-like symptoms. He developed a sore throat, fever, chills, congestion, cyanosis and a cough.
While his symptoms have improved, his cough has gradually worsened. Mathew has been experiencing a
severe and chronic cough that makes him produce thick, yellow and bloody sputum. He claims he is not
experiencing difficulty in breathing but has developed sharp chest pain overnight. He explains that the
sharp chest pain happens during the coughing episodes. As a result, this causes him to breathe faster than
normal.
2. Background detail
Mathew is a relatively healthy individual. He exercises four to five times every week. He does not have a
history of hospitalizations or traumas but he has a family history of hypertension, diabetes, and cancer. He
does not have a history of any diseases. There are no drug allergies or intolerances. He drinks alcohol in
moderation but smokes a pack of cigarettes every day. There are no known immunizations. He refuses to
receive vaccines such as the influenza vaccine. He recently traveled to Colorado to visit his mom who had
the flu and believes he may have contracted it from his mother. Mathew’s vital signs include: 126/79,
oxygen saturation: 90%, radial pulse: 86, respiratory rate: 25, and oral temperature: 36.9 degrees Celsius.
3. Clinical Assessment
Mathew was diagnosed with pneumonia. Pneumonia is an infection in the lungs that may be caused by
bacteria, viruses, or fungi. The infection causes the alveolar sacs to become inflamed and fill with fluid or
pus. The oxygen a person breathes does not reach the bloodstream making it increasingly difficult for a
person to breathe. Low oxygen in the blood is known as hypoxia and causes headaches, tachycardia, and
cyanosis. Pneumonia usually occurs when the body is weakened including old age, poor nutrition, illness
such as respiratory disease or viral infection, and abuse of alcohol and smoking. Bacteria is able to work
its way into the lungs causing an infection. The people most at risk for developing pneumonia are infants,
young children, pregnant women, and adults ages 65 and older.
The physician listened to Mathew’s lung with a stethoscope and heard crackling sounds upon the patient’s
inhalation. A chest x-ray was done to find the location of inflammation in the lungs and the extent of it. A
sputum test was also performed to find the source of infection. Blood tests were performed to confirm if
an infection was present in Mathew’s bloodstream. The test was positive for the bacteria streptococcus
pneumoniae.
4. Recommendations
After being diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia, Mathew was prescribed antibiotics to speed up the
recovery. Most cases of pneumonia are viral infections meaning that they resolve on their own but in
cases like Mathew’s bacterial pneumonia, antibiotics are needed. A bronchodilator, known as albuterol,
was given to the patient during his time at the emergency room. Oxygen therapy was also provided. This
was able to help clear the airways and calm the cough. The patient was instructed to drink plenty of water
and drink fluids with electrolytes. The healthcare providers encouraged him to prioritize time to rest, eat a
balanced diet, oxygen therapy, and take cough suppressants to manage the cough if it persists. The nurse
recommended the patient to sleep with a humidifier. It helps open up the patient’s airways.
The nurse’s primary concern was to address the patient’s oxygen saturation because it measured at 90%.
A normal oxygen saturation is between 90-100%. Even though Mathew measured as normal this is still
closer to a low oxygen saturation. The nurse focused on providing the patient with oxygen as needed as
well as bronchodilators. Antibiotics were also administered.
