ZAssessment Z Problem Solving Exercise. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Andre, a 6 year old child, presents in the emergency department of a major Brisbane hospital with his father, Boris. Andre presents with limited mobility in his right arm, swelling and an open cut that looks to be a number days old. Boris informs staff that the injury was sustained while Andre was playing and states he\u2019s been too busy to come in with Andre any earlier. Kimiko, a registered nurse assigned to Andre, notes that the child seems very withdrawn and does not engage when asked questions. Kimiko proceeds to clean and dress his wound and check his general health. While taking Andre\u2019s blood pressure, Kimiko observes some older bruises on Andre\u2019s upper arms and shoulders. Kimiko also observes that Andre\u2019s temperature is raised and his colour is poor.<\/p>\n

The treating team recommend an x-ray to check if there are any broken bones. Boris agrees to this. While waiting for the results, Kimiko overhears Boris speaking to Andre in a stern voice saying \u2018Don\u2019t you dare tell your mother or anyone else what happened or you will cop it, do you understand?\u2019<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The x-ray shows no fractured bones. However the treating team determine that the wound in Andre\u2019s arm is severely infected and advise Boris that a course of antibiotics should begin immediately. It is unclear whether his infected arm is the single cause of Andre\u2019s raised temperature or whether he has an underlying condition. It is recommended that further tests be carried out. Boris refuses to consent to further tests saying that his son is just being a \u2018big cry baby\u2019 and that he will be fine. He also refuses to consent to Andre receiving antibiotics for his wound stating, \u2018I never had antibiotics when I was a child and I\u2019m fine.\u2019<\/p>\n

Kimiko is concerned that Andre\u2019s health will suffer significantly if Boris does not consent to further tests and antibiotics for his son.<\/p>\n
