Initial Discussion Post:
Mark a 35-year-old was brought via ambulance to the emergency
department after collapsing on the street. He was diagnosed with
appendicitis and the surgical team was alerted to the potential
surgery. The physician prepared to obtain informed consent and
began discussing the simple effective surgery and the treatment
with the patient. The RN was present at the bedside. The patient
stated he did not want surgery. Based upon his beliefs as a
Christian Scientist it is against his practices. He requested a
Christian Science practitioner. The patient rated his pain as 9 on
0-10 verbal pain scale so the RN prepared the narcotic analgesic to
relieve the patients pain. The patient declined the medication. The
RN believes the patient should accept the pain medication and have
the surgery thinking If it were me I would proceed with the surgery
and treatments proposed by the surgeon. The surgeon can be heard
speaking to a fellow surgeon about how to go about changing the
patients decision.
