JOHN WELLS CASE STUDY2
Consideration of the patient
The provided case study is about an 82 years old man, whose name was John Wells. He
used to work on the farm and spend most of the day on the farm only. John faced an accident
while he was returning home from his farm. The reason for the crash was that he could not
regulate his balance while he was on his bike. He admitted that he knew the importance of
wearing a helmet at the time of riding on a motorcycle but on the day of the accident he forgot to
carry the helmet. He got trapped on the ground while fell on his left side. The incident happened
in the summer season because of which the land was harsh and John got hurt on his head as the
head got stuck on the hard ground. The immediate reaction of the patients after the accident was
dizziness. Except for this symptom, the other effects of the crash were reduced hunger,
headaches, nausea and fatigue. John overlooked the accident and went back to work. His family
members noticed the changes in his behavior when he returned to his home after completing his
work. His family members noticed that he became quieter than usual, and they thought it wise to
admit him in the emergency department in the nearby hospital.
The patient has not suffered from any injury in head or concussion before. As per
the medical history, the patient had only the issue of hypertension, but the doctor did not
administer with any antihypertensive medicines. The risk factors of hypertension are increased
weight, family medical history, and sedentary lifestyle, excessive smoking diet containing a high
concentration of salt and potassium and excessive drinking alcohol (Wäljas et al., 2015). Certain
chronic health diseases like increased blood pressure, diseases of kidney and diabetes are the
other risk factors. In the case study, diet and stress level were not mentioned. So the only reason
that can be connected with the case study was hypertension.
