Case Study - Mrs Helen Berry
Helen is a 74 years old. She was brought in to ED by her neighbour. Helen awoke this morning at 0600 hours with a 5/10 headache. At 0700 she called their neighbour and asked her to take her to hospital as she began to feel weak and her headache increased to 7/10. Upon arrival to ED one side of her face began to “feel strange”.
Helen has a past medical history of Atrial fibrillation (AF), hypertension (HT) and dyslipidaemia which she manages with Apixaban 2.5mg BD, Sotolol 80mg daily, Amlodipine 5mg daily, Irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide 300/25mg daily, Rosuvastatin 10mg daily.
Helen used to smoke 20 cigarettes/day but states she quit 5 years ago.
When she was brought in to ED, she told staff that she did not take her medications this morning as she was too distracted by her increasing headache.
You are assigned to care for Helen. As you are about to enter her room, you overhear Helen crying to her neighbour, explaining that she is worried as her mother had died of an ischemic stroke and had similar symptoms leading up to the event.
