1CASE STUDY ANALYSIS
Introduction
Priority based care is the concept that should be applied to the healthcare of patients that
are suffering from critical and crucial healthcare situations as with the help of this, critical care
could be provided to the patients (Toode et al. 2014). This case study analysis paper is focusing
on the case of Jonathan Yung (16) who is suffering from critical condition immediately after his
1 hour long bubble soccer match. The primary aim of this paper is to apply the Levett- Jones
clinical reasoning cycle and then collect the cues to process then to understand the health
condition that is associated with health condition (Dalton, Gee and Levett-Jones 2015).
Collection of cues
Jonathan Yung is a 16 year old obese guy who has moved to this locality few times ago
and in this aspect, prior to apply any healthcare intervention, it is important to understand his
past medical history. As per the case study, in past he has suffered from low blood pressure
(111/60), whereas his pulse rate, heartbeat and others are effectively operating and the body
temperature is normal. The critical situation arise after the bubble soccer match that he played for
1 hour in the summer afternoon in which the temperature was 32 degree Celsius and the
humidity was 20%. As per Lindsay et al. (2014) in such weather, any strenuous and exhausting
activity could lead to severe healthcare complication and hence, 1 hour of such extensive
physical activity could lead to critical condition. Similar condition was observed that the vital
signs such as high blood pressure (130/70), increased pulse (140) as well as respiratory rate (29)
whereas, high body temperature (38.5). On the other hand, he was observed with flashy skin and
exhausting sweating and due to these his heart heartbeat observed due to which he was unable to

walk properly (Hickerson and Henderson 2014). Hence, these are the cues that should be
collected and applied in the healthcare intervention of Jonathan.
Analysis and interpretation of the collected cues
It was mentioned in the research of Myers et al. (2015) that obesity is the critical
condition due to which people that attempt high physical activity, suffer from critical healthcare
condition exactly similar to which is observed in the healthcare condition of Jonathan. As per
Lucan and DiNicolantonio (2015), with increased physical activity and workload, conditions
such as increased heart rate, increased blood pressure and elevated respiratory rate observed.
Similar condition was observed in the case study as Jonathan played the Bubble soccer game for
1 long hour in sunny afternoon and hence, such condition arise and conditions such as
dehydration, stress and anxiety increased. Similar research was conducted by Billinger et al.
(2014) with athletes and it was seen that majority of the athletes developed the risk of cardiac
diseases after severe physical activity. Further it was also seen that Jonathan also were seem to
have flush skin and developed severe sweating due to which he developed dehydration and in the
research of Marcos et al. (2014), it was mentioned that dehydration in such condition could lead
to cardiac condition. Therefore, in such weather, environment, and physical condition the signs
and symptoms related to restlessness, dehydration and increased blood pressure were observed.
While searching for the reason of such critical healthcare condition, several research article was
found as per which, in a research by Clough et al. (2016) mentioned that adrenaline and
strenuous physical activity are associated with each other and with increased physical activity
adrenalin released and flushed skin and increased sweating is also observed. Adrenalin is a
hormone which increased the dilation of the blood vessel due to which high temperature, high
blood pressure, pulse rate and heart rate increases and similar situation was observed with
