Case Studies for Task one

Occupational Violence

An woman has come to the maternity ward from birth suite with her newborn. She had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery and the baby is doing well. She had disclosed a history of previous IV drug use in her antenatal appointments which she has struggled with. Her partner visits her in the maternity ward and they have an argument- he leaves after you walk in to see what has caused their voices to be raised. She is quite upset and asks you for space so she can calm down. After an hour you come in to find she is hyperactive, she is acting erratic in her thoughts and is unable to convey a sentence without being distracted. Her movements are jerky. When she is in the bathroom you find a used syringe in her bedding. You suspect she has used illicit IV drugs. After 30 minutes her actions become more erratic and she starts to get angry and aggressive. She yells at staff and seems to have forgotten her baby.

Key Issues

Occupational violence

Child safety

Patient safety

ABC was intact, yet she was C/O headaches, had superficial lacs to her hands and forearms after he grabbed her by the neck and threw her through a wall. She is pregnant 30/40 G1P0 and has a history of ED presentations for ETOH use, depression and superficial musculoskeletal injuries. She did not want to report the crime as she had little social support and no safe place to go.

Key issues

Domestic violence

Rural and remote health service challenges

Jess, John and their 4-year-old son Jack present to the Emergency Department of your small remote clinic in central Queensland. Your clinic is the only place to access healthcare within 4 hours. They live on a cattle farm where young Jack fell over outside while playing. He has lacerations and grazes, but you are concerned that one on his knee may require sutures. Jack also fell awkwardly onto his arm and you are concerned he may have fractured his wrist.

Key issues

Lack of access

Lack of equity surrounding healthcare facility ability to respond.

There is no child abuse or negligence from the parents.
