Scenario #A:
Joyce Layne is a 17-year old high school student in her senior
year. She is an honors student, works hard to get good
grades, and hates to miss school. For the past 3 days, she
has not been feeling well. This morning her temperature is 39
C (102.2 F), and she has chills and a headache. Several of
her friends at school have the flu. She has taken ibuprofen
for fevers and menstrual cramps in the past, but Joyce cannot
find any in the house as she prepares to leave for school.
Her parents have already left for work, and they trust her to
check with you, the nurse who lives next door, before taking any
medications. Joyce calls you to ask "Is it okay to take the
aspirin that my mom uses for her arthritis so I can go to school?"
As a nurse, this presents an opportunity for you to teach Joyce
about aspirin and her fever.
