11:11 Case Study on Dizziness and Pain of Unknown Origin Mrs. J., a 78-year-old African American, has moved to an assisted living facility. She lived at home alone for the past 4 years since her husband's death. She enters this facility reluctantly but states, "I know my daughter can't take care of me right now her husband is ill and she has her hands full." Mrs. J. is in good health and takes one medication "for her blood pressure." During the last month she has been having "dizzy spells" and has fallen twice. As you review her medication, she tells you that she started this blood pressure pill 4 weeks ago. She "hates running to the bathroom" so much. When you ask about her dizziness, she says, "I'm fine as long as I stay in bed or in my chair, but when I stand up I feel like I'm going to fall over! I get so light-headed." Instructions: Using Linda Caputi's Critical Thinking Model, in small groups, review the case study above on domestic and family violence. Select a scribe and write down your submissions below and each of you upload to Brightspace. Make sure and write your names and date at the top of your submission. Select a peer to submit. Step 1, Noticing: underline the key information in the case study using a highlighter. Upon completion, groups should explain their rationales for underlining. Step 2, Interpreting: For questions land 2 cluster the data underlined to identify information that is related in some way. Upon completion, groups should explain their clustering rationale. Question 1: As you begin to assess her vital signs, what assessment should you include? Question 2: When you check Mrs. J.'s vital signs, you find the following: Supine pulse: 68 beats per minute; supine blood pressure: 156/92 mm Hg. Standing pulse: 90 beats per minute; standing blood pressure: 110/86 mm Hg. She complains of slight dizziness and asks to sit down. Are these findings significant? If so, what is the cause?
