CASE STUDY ANALYSIS1
Introduction
The primary aim of this paper is to discuss the case study of Jonathan Yung (16) who is
suffering from sudden healthcare condition after playing the bubble soccer game in a hot summer
afternoon. As per Dalton, Gee and Levett-Jones (2015), application of Levett- Jones clinical
reasoning cycle should be done to determine the priority based nursing of the patient so that with
application of proper and accurate intervention, healthcare condition could be improved.
Therefore, this Levett- Jones clinical reasoning cycle should be implemented in the healthcare
condition of the patient.
Collected cues from Jonathan’s health condition
Jonathan Yung is a 16 year old boy who was playing bubble soccer game with his friends
for 1 long hour and in a 32 degree Celsius hot and 22% humid weather condition. After 1 hour
long exhausting physical condition, Jonathan developed critical healthcare condition and he
developed critical health situation. However, in this condition, prior to apply the healthcare
intervention, it is important to determine priority of nursing and then with proper application of
assessment related to medical history, he should be provided with proper healthcare condition.
The previous healthcare situation of the patient was associated with his critical and decreased
blood pressure 111/60, however in such situation; he had adequate body temperature, pulse rate
and respiratory rate. Therefore, in this situation, the bubble soccer game and associated
healthcare condition that arises in the case study of Jonathan. In this situation, after 1 hour of
exhausting physical activity, it was seen that the patient developed healthcare condition such as
high blood pressure with 130/70 reading, moderately high body temperature with 38.5 and
simultaneously he developed extensively high sweating and flush skin. These inhibited the

normal health condition of the patient and caused him suffer from critical healthcare condition.
Hence, these are the cues that should be collected and processed for understanding the healthcare
intervention for Jonathan.
Analysis and interpretation of the collected cues
In this case study, it was mentioned that the patient had low blood pressure in the past
and despite this he performed 1 hour long strenuous and exhausting bubble soccer game in a
sunny and humid summer afternoon. As per Edmonds and Dengerink (2014), in such healthcare
condition, lower blood pressure could be critical and severe healthcare condition, as in such
condition, if any one performs exhausting healthcare condition, then their heart beat and
respiratory rate increases and hence, their blood pressure also increases so that their requirement
of blood and oxygen could be met. Another factor that could be associated with this healthcare
condition is the homeostasis balance, due to which all the bodily organs, glands and up to the
tissue and cellular level is controlled and with this, the gas exchange, blood pressure, blood flow
and other system functions properly (Griffin, Charron and Al‐Daccak 2014). As per Sun et al.
(2016), disruption of this body balance could be another reason due to which such healthcare
condition arises and the patient Jonathan developed such healthcare condition. Another research
finding should be included in this aspect as Myers et al. (2015) mentioned that with increased
physical activity, risk of cardiac diseases and other healthcare condition such as increased pulse
and cardiac rate increases. Similar aspect was observed in the healthcare condition of Brook et
al. (2016) as it was seen that the patient developed critical healthcare condition in with the
occurrence of increased blood pressure and body temperature. Similarly due to the critical
healthcare condition, the occurrence of severe healthcare condition related to anxiety,
dehydration, extensive sweating and hence, risk of severe healthcare condition increased for
