PLEASE PICK ONE OF THE CASE
- 1 Steve a patient on your stroke unit. You are consulted to evaluate him for a new rash in his gluteal fold. It is pink, moist, raw appearing and Steve nods his head affirmatively when you ask if the rash is pruritic.
- What agents are you considering for Steve?
- Dona is a 74 year old pre-op patient for a total knee replacement. She shows you her new skin rash that started yesterday. It started out as tingly but now in burning. The rash has vesicles on an erythematous base and wraps around from her scapula to her breast. You diagnose Dona with herpes zoster (shingles).
As a CRNA will you continue or postpone her surgery? Why or why not?
As any type of Advanced Practice Nurse, what treatment options are you considering for her?
