Identify four issues in this case that represent current social issues or human services trends. Describe what case management services are and discuss how they might be helpful to the family presented in the above case.

/in /by

Read the following short vignette and reply to the questions that follow:

Child and Family Services serves clients on a walk-in basis. A young woman and her two children approached the agency with some care. They had been in the United
States for three years and spoke little English, so they needed to consult with a Spanish-speaking human services professional. The woman told the professional that
she was in trouble. She had been living in a “questionable” situation for the past four months since leaving her husband, who had been physically abusing her. The
woman hesitated to tell the professional any more about her situation.

She returned to the agency the evening of the following day. The school had sent a note home with her youngest boy asking that she come for a conference the next day.
School concerns focused on hygiene.

The woman indicated that she was hiding from her husband and living in a school bus with no running water. She had made curtains, bought blankets and pillows for
bedding, washed the children in a nearby gas station bathroom, and bought food from the local small store. The children had not had a hot meal in a long while. They
used candlelight at night to read and study.

Two fears emerged: that her husband would find her and that authorities would take away her children. The woman was nervous because a news reporter had knocked on her
door the day before. He was following a lead that a family was living in an abandoned bus downtown. The threat of media exposure or school difficulties made her seek
help.

Address the following:

Identify four issues in this case that represent current social issues or human services trends.
Describe what case management services are and discuss how they might be helpful to the family presented in the above case.

Considering the circumstances and the preliminary workup, what type of anemia does Ms. A most likely have? In an essay and explain your answer and include rationale.

Iron Deficiency Anemia
Order Description
Case Study 1

Case Study 1
Ms. A. is an apparently healthy 26-year-old white woman. Since the beginning of the current golf season, Ms. A has noted increased shortness of breath and low levels of energy and enthusiasm. These symptoms seem worse during her menses. Today, while playing in a golf tournament at a high, mountainous course, she became light-headed and was taken by her golfing partner to the emergency clinic. The attending physician’s notes indicated a temperature of 98 degrees F, an elevated heart rate and respiratory rate, and low blood pressure. Ms. A states, “Menorrhagia and dysmenorrheal have been a problem for 10-12 years, and I take 1,000 mg of aspirin every 3 to 4 hours for 6 days during menstruation.” During the summer months, while playing golf, she also takes aspirin to avoid “stiffness in my joints.”

Laboratory values are as follows:
Hemoglobin = 8 g/dl
Hematocrit = 32%
Erythrocyte count = 3.1 x 10/mm
RBC smear showed microcytic and hypochromic cells
Reticulocyte count = 1.5%
Other laboratory values were within normal limits.

Question
Considering the circumstances and the preliminary workup, what type of anemia does Ms. A most likely have? In an essay and explain your answer and include rationale.

pay close attention to the paper requirements as stated below:

Accurate identification of anemia classification and rationale.
Explanation of patient diagnosis with rationale from case findings. Outside sources and/or medical and nursing references used to support conclusions.

DISCLAIMER
When taking a family genetic history on an actual client, it is essential that the information is accurate. Please inform the person you are interviewing that they do NOT need to disclose information that they wish to keep confidential. If the adult participant decides not to share information, please write, “Does not want to disclose.”
DIRECTIONS
1. Refer to the examples in Chapter 4 of your textbook that discuss development of a genogram.
2. Download the NR305_Family_Genetic_History_Form from Doc Sharing. You will document the adult participant’s family genetic history using this MS Word document.
3. Complete the family genetic history using the information that the adult participant is willing to share with you. The focus of this course is on the normal “healthy” individual so your paper does not need to contain much medical/nursing detail. Refer to your textbook or the Internet to learn what impact the family’s health history may have on the adult participant’s personal state of wellness both now and in the future.
This paper does not require APA formatting, but you are expected to write clearly and use proper grammar and spelling.
Developing a pictorial genogram using symbols to identify certain relationships(e.g., divorced, sibling, deceased, etc.), may provide more insight, however, drawing may be difficult to accomplish withMS Word, therefore you are not expected to use symbols, lines, or other drawing elements. Instead, describe the relationships among the various people in theadult participant’s family’s genetic history. Remember, the goal is not to learn how to draw with Word, but to gather information about the family and recognize its significance to the adult participant and that person’s health.
