This paper describes a case of acute cholecystitis complicated with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and the experience in caring this case in emergency department (ED) who showed subsequent signs of hopelessness. The diagnosis of acute cholecystitis complicated with DIC was made during emergency care from 2014/2/9 to 2014/2/10 using the clinical data, physical examination and physical assessment of this case. Past medical history was also taken into consideration. In addition, hopelessness due to lacking support system affected the patient's willingness to treat the diseases and physiological condition. I believe that besides physical problems, psychological level issues should not be ignored. Hence, the caring experience of this case was discussed in this paper. I used Gordon eleven functional health patterns assessment to observe, communicate and collect the past history, thereyby confirming that this case had existing health problems such as potentially dangerous injuries (bleeding), infection and hopelessness. Individualized symptom nursing with health education, psychological support, assessment of the degree of psychological distress, proactive care with companionship, and other precautious measures were provided during ED caring. As a result, this case did not show severe bleeding, infection, deterioration or suicide incident. This article shared the experience of medical team's interventions, such as assistance to contact as well as communicate with the families, and arrangement for further medical care. However, due to the limitation of the short stay in emergency care, in cases like these transferred to the intensive care unit, I will recommend thorough shift change between nurses, addition of the plans for reevaluation of the psychological factors and new suicidal risk project, and regular telephone follow-up after discharge in order to have continuous care. The sharing of this case highlights the importance of the continuity of care of a medical team. |
