12 Unit I Nursing Within the Context of Contemporary Health Care
CASE STUDY: Putting It All Together
Subjective Data
A 66-year-old woman is brought to a clinic by her female partner because of increasing shortness of breath
and fatigue. The patient was reluctant to come to the
clinic, but her partner insisted. The patient reports being
diagnosed with emphysema 10 years ago and states, “I’ve
been smoking since I was 15 years old, but I can’t stop.
The smoking finally got the best of me. I guess I should
have stopped smoking when I was diagnosed with emphysema. If I had to do it over I would do a lot of
things differently. I have so much phlegm; I cough all the time. I can hardly breathe, and I’m exhausted all the
time. My partner hates that I always smell like smoke,
and my fingers and teeth have turned yellow.”
