LHC 3023 Online Evaluation Assignment

Students will read the following case–and in your groups prepare an essay roughly 500 words
which will be discussing about the importance and the role of EI in healthcare then please
upload the assignment into the Turnitin on moodle.

Mr. Zahedi is a 63-year-old male who has been admitted to the coronary care unit after
experiencing a myocardial infarction which led to a cardiac arrest. Mr. Zahedi has maintained
a healthy and active lifestyle since his myocardial infarction three years ago. Prior to his
admission, Mr. Zahedi was at home running on his treadmill as part of his morning routine. His
wife, Mrs. Zahedi , heard a loud noise and ran downstairs to find her husband lying prone on
the treadmill with a head injury and no pulse. She then called 9-1-1. Cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) was not initiated until paramedics arrived, and it was approximately
45 min until Mr. Zahedi had a return of spontaneous circulation. The patient was intubated at
home and then brought into Mackenzie hospital (York Regional Hospital-Richmond Hill
Ontario) where he was seen immediately by the cardiac team, which included an advanced
practice nurse (APN). The APN's role was to gather information about what might have led to
Mr. Zahedi's event and to consider the current goals of care. Given the estimated downtime
(time without adequate blood circulation), the APN acknowledges that Mr. Zahedi would
most likely suffer from severe anoxic brain injury, and his prognosis would be poor.

Although nothing had been confirmed by the physician, the APN recognized that there was a
possibility that she would have needed to support Mrs. Zahedi through the withdrawal of care
of her husband. After considering this, the APN became overwhelmed with emotion as she
thinks about her spouse who is the same age as Mr. Zahedi. In addition, the APN also
experienced profound frustration as to why the Mrs. Zahedi did not initiate CPR for her
husband. As the team continues to aggressively work on Mr. Zahedi, the APN will be Mrs.
Zahedi's initial point of contact and will work closely with her to meet the overall goals of care
for Mr. Zahedi

Tips for evaluation of the case:

In the case study of Mr. Zahedi, the APN was surprised that the wife did not initiate CPR on her
husband. The notion that Mr. Zahedi might have had a better outcome without any deficits led
to the APN's feelings of frustration. If the APN did not recognize her emotions, she may not be
cognizant of her own behaviors. Inappropriate reactions could result in negative implications to
family care. In short, EI allows individuals to be aware of their own emotions and reactions and
shapes the way they respond to others.

The APN's feelings of frustration and dismay could translate into formulating judgements. If the
APN forms a negative judgement of the wife, this may have the potential to hinder the
development of a therapeutic relationship. As a result, if a therapeutic relationship is not
developed, the concerns and needs of the wife may not be adequately communicated and
addressed. In addition to her feelings of frustration, the APN was also troubled by her thoughts,
given how Mr. Zahedi reminds her of her own spouse. Awareness of her emotions may either
help the APN to empathize with Mrs. Zahedi (Wife), or may allow her emotions to interfere of
how she delivers care.
