History of Present Problem:
Jack Holmes a 72-year-old Caucasian male brought to the ED by ambulance from a skilled nursing facility
(SNF). According to report from the paramedic, when the SNF nursing staff attempted to wake him this
morning, he would not respond, and his BP was 74/40 with a MAP of 51. He has a history of Parkinson’s
disease, COPD, CHF, HTN, depression, and a stage IV decubitus ulcer on his coccyx that developed three
months ago. He does not follow commands, is unresponsive to verbal stimuli, but responds to a sternal rub
with grimacing and withdrawing from stimulus.

Personal/Social History:
He has lived in the skilled nursing facility the past three years and has been bed bound the past year due to his
advanced Parkinson’s disease. He was a heavy smoker, 1 PPD for 40 years until he moved to the SNF.

What data from the histories are RELEVANT and must be interpreted as clinically significant by the
nurse?
(Reduction of Risk Potential)
RELEVANT Data from Present Clinical Significance:
Problem:
BP of 74/40 (51) Low blood pressure and low MAP – indicator of poor perfusion

Has had stage IV ulcer for 3 months. No signs of healing – could
Stage IV decubitus ulcer on coccyx – bed be due to poor perfusion, poor nutrition, poor wound care, or not
bound participating in q2 turns while bed bound. Poor skin integrity.

Only responsive to sternal rub – Unresponsive to anything other than a sternal rub is a sign of an
grimacing and withdrawing from altered level of consciousness – assuming that this is not baseline
stimulus for this patient.

Comorbidities that can relate to a decrease in immune function.
COPD, HTN, CHF, old age, and
Parkinson’s

RELEVANT Data from Social History: Clinical Significance:
Lives in SNF for past 3 years Higher risk for infection or illness due to exposure and living
conditions at facility
Is the family involved? What kind of care does he receive at this
facility?
Bed bound
Skin integrity, muscle atrophy, isolation
Depression
Isolation, unable to advocate for self

What VS data are RELEVANT and must be interpreted as clinically significant by the nurse?
(Reduction of Risk Potential/Health Promotion and Maintenance)
RELEVANT VS Clinical Significance:
Data:
High temp Sign of infection in the body

Increased HR Compensating for the low BP – trying to oxygenate the tissues

Low BP One indicator of sepsis and septic shock.

Oxygen sat is low Oxygen saturation is on the lower side; however, this could be a normal reading for
someone who has COPD. The patient has COPD and a history of heavy smoking (1
pack/day for 40 years).
