ANSWERS
Unfolding Case Study: Seymour Jones
Mr. Jones is a 69-year-old who was discharged from the hospital yesterday following a short
hospitalization to treat a leg ulcer that became increasingly worse (increased pain and
inflammation) over a two-week period prior to admission. In addition, he has a diagnosis of
congestive heart failure (CHF) and diabetes. Mr. Jones lives alone in a senior citizens’ high-rise.
Donna Atkins, BSN, RN is the home care nurse assigned to visit Mr. Jones. She prepares to
make his initial home visit.
What steps should Donna take to prepare for the initial home visit?
Remind herself of all things regarding diabetes, CHF and leg ulcers in order to teach her patient
about how to care for himself. She can research the area he lives of healthy food options,
transportation options, exercise options. She should also review his charts and when she sets his
appointment find out if he needs her to bring anything to the visit.
As Donna reviews the “Continuing Patient Care Form” received from the discharge planner at
the hospital, she notes the following:
67-year-old male
admitted to hospital with two-week history of infection; right leg ulcer with progressive
pain
treatment with intravenous antibiotics
history of CHF with shortness of breath for 10 years
, 3
history of diabetes for 10 years
home oxygen
What is the top priority for the home care nurse during this initial home visit?
The top priority in the first visit is to establish a good relationship with Mr. Jones. It is very
important he feels he can trust her and feel he can speak to her and share his issues.
Education will be a top priority on the first visit as well.
An important role for the home care nurse is that of patient or family education. Review the
“Continuing Patient Care Referral Form” (below).

visit?

Information on diabetes and CHF
