Submit a 1- to 2-page paper in which you reflect on the following:
In Episode 3, the conflict between health ethics (what feels morally right in caring for Joan) and health laws and policy put Megan, the nurse leader, at odds with Kenny, Mario, and Flora. While all four are concerned for Joan’s safety and ability to navigate life outside the hospital, Megan and, ultimately, Kenny offer additional perspectives and reasons why the hospital is not the best place to continue her care. How did Flora’s perspective compare to theirs? As nurse leaders, what factors, other than patient advocacy, must Megan and Kenny consider when discerning the best clinical pathway for Joan?
**** In the video : ( this will help answer the above question, the 5 minute video was regarding this )
Hospital staff are sitting on a meeting for Joan and her insurance only approved stay for 3 nights and she can no longer stay longer but some health care workers in the meeting disagree and believe she should stay longer and others are saying she should go home because shes more stablized now or outpatient care cause it will cost less for the patient.
If the patient stays over in the hospital she would be charged 1,000s of dollars more and some health care workers are saying her right arm is not recovering from the injury she had.

Assignment OverviewPart 1: Case Scenario
Create a case scenario for a patient who experiences transitions across three points of healthcare delivery. For example, a patient who is admitted through the Emergency Department rushed to surgery and transferred to the surgical intensive care unit; or a patient who transitions from an assisted living facility to the hospital and then to a long-term acute care facility. These are just two examples; however, you can be creative as you create the case scenario.
The case scenario should be no more than 2 pages, double-spaced, in length. The case scenario should come immediately after the title page in your assignment. Be sure to include the following:
Details regarding the patient and related health concerns
Description of transition across three specific points of care delivery (such as described above)
Integration of at least two principles of care coordination demonstrated by nurse leader(s) within the scenario

A 75-year-old man with a history of hypertension, diabetes, and environmental allergies, presents to the office with a complaint of persistent dry hacking cough that does not improve with over-the-counter treatment with antitussives and allergy medications. The man reports that he has had the cough for 3 months and is tired of the coughing spells he experiences. His medical history reveals that he started taking lisinopril 6 months before this appointment, has taken an over-the-counter allergy medication for several years, and his blood pressure today is 150/92. Other medications include metformin XR 500 mg daily, aspirin 81 mg once daily, and loratadine 10 mg daily. The physical exam is negative for any issues other than his mild neuropathy from long-term diabetes. The cough is noted to be dry and hacking as the patient has described. The man is not in acute distress.
What questions would have been asked as part of the medical history?
What physical aspects would have been completed as part of the physical exam?
Based on the medical history and physical exam, what is the most likely cause of his cough?
What other possible diagnoses should be considered?
Are there any other tests that should be completed before producing a diagnosis? Why or why not?
What is the treatment for this patient, including education?
