OB Complication: Fetal demise

Semester 4

Students will care for a multifunction OB virtual patient portraying a 19-year old female presenting to the hospital accompanied by an older male, who she identifies as her uncle. He reports to the intake nurse that she has been experiencing symptoms of burning with urination, fever, and flank pain. The client looks to her uncle to answer all of the questions. Students provide routine care throughout all three states of the scenario. A simulated EHR with tabbed chart content is available on the WOW cart to augment the reality of the scenario. The technician or faculty member may role play the client’s uncle at the bedside to add additional family dynamics to the scenario.

• Maintain a safe, effective health care environment for a client experiencing fetal loss compounded by being a victim of human trafficking.
• Relate the client’s health status to assessment findings, medications, laboratory and diagnostic results, and medical and nursing interventions.
• Provide patient education to the client and her family members.
• Communicate therapeutically.
• Report complete, accurate, and pertinent information to the health care team.
• Recognize indicators of Human Trafficking, potential signs and red flags that may suggest a patient is a victim of human trafficking, such as physical injuries, identifying tattoos, behavioral changes, or inconsistencies in their personal information.
• Conduct a Trauma-Informed Assessment, recognizing that victims of human trafficking may have complex physical and psychological needs.
• Establish trust and build rapport with patients like Maya who may be reluctant or fearful of disclosing their situation due to trust issues with healthcare providers.
• Collaborate with social workers, law enforcement, and other relevant agencies to ensure the safety and well-being of the patient, while respecting their autonomy.
