Case Study
AI Summary
This case study examines the case of Elodie Greer, a 14-year-old patient with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) who develops suspected sepsis following chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. The analysis focuses on identifying and discussing key signs of clinical deterioration, including increased respiratory rate and elevated temperature, as well as a priority problem: alteration of respiratory function. The study proposes two nursing interventions to address this problem: resuscitation and anti-inflammatory therapy using aspirin, detailing how to evaluate their effectiveness through continuous patient monitoring. Furthermore, the case study identifies family disintegration as a significant psychosocial issue affecting Elodie's well-being, emphasizing the importance of parental support in facilitating her recovery and reducing psychological distress. The conclusion highlights the critical role of timely interventions and emotional support in managing septic shock and improving patient outcomes.
