Maternity Case 4: Brenda Patton (Complex)
Guided Reflection Questions
Melanie Chaves
Opening Questions
How did the simulated experience of Brenda Patton’s case make you feel?
This case made me feel like I was not doing enough interventions despite given the order meds
after contacting the healthcare provider. Despite administration of acetaminophen for her fever
it never went below 102 degrees Fahrenheit. The patient was also very young which means she
needed a lot of education provided in a way that she could understand. Having the maternal
vital signs out of normal range and the FHR made this situation very complicated. Labs were
m
er as
drawn, but the patient GBS status is still unknown. She is also having a preterm delivery since
co
she is only in her 36 2/7 weeks of gestation.

Describe the actions you felt went well in this scenario.

I followed the proper interventions as complication arose. I also maintained constant monitoring
of both mother and fetal status and called the HCP when it was necessary. I tried to form open
o
communication with the mother by asking questions particular to her needs and comforting her
aC s
when she was having contraction pain or seemed uneasy.

Scenario Analysis Questions1
ed d
EBP Based on the initial assessment of Brenda Patton, what findings did you find concerning?
ar stu
Brenda was experiencing a fever of 102 and an increased respiratory rate and heart rate which is
concerning because they are possible signs and symptoms of infections. The patient is at an even
is
higher risk for the disease since her membrane has already ruptured. The other concerning
factor was the fetal heart rate was considered to be too high, and problems were seen on the
Th
fetal monitoring strip. The mother and the baby were both in fragile conditions which can
complicate birth.
sh
PCC Brenda Patton stated that she would like to labor free of medication. What are some techniques
that could be used to help her with her pain?
