Dilemma

You have been assigned 4 patients on an Intermediate Medical Care Unit. Two of the patients are post myocardial infarction at various stages of their infarction with multiple types of arrhythmia, the third patient is having drastic blood sugar fluctuations 218 down to 50 within minutes and its rebounds back up with changes in mentation and the fourth is reported to be having frequent TIA's. One of the MI patients is having some dizziness and your TIA patient is presenting signs of impending stroke.

How would you prioritize your assessments and activities? How would you describe your critical thinking process and how do you organize and prioritize implementation of care?

(I need some feedback, what would you guys do?)

    Feedback is what is given after you present your work. You forgot to include that part in your post.

    Tell me about how you'd do it; I can't help you if I don't know what you're thinking. Show a list of what you'd do, in the order you'd do it.

    How would you describe your critical thinking process and how do you organize and prioritize implementation of care?

    I'd describe my critical thinking process as pretty well honed after all these years. How I organize and prioritize implementation of care depends on the situation at hand. How would YOU do it in this case?

    I need some feedback, what would you guys do?

    I can't provide feedback without you first feeding the information :) List the steps you'd use for assessing and what you'd consider to be the top priority, then next to top. Suppose this homework question is your own situation. Tell us about how you'd proceed.

    Definitely first need you to tell me what you would do, then I'd probably feel more fair to tell you my thoughts on the scenario.
