Emts who triage him decide to transfer him to the nearest ed


Problem: Ed Jones is a 75-year-old retired cabinet maker who makes small toys in the basement of his home, located on the banks of the Deep River. He is independent and a widower. His primary care physician has prescribed antihypertensive medications and monitors his blood pressure regularly. When a week of heavy rainstorms flooded Mr. Jones's neighborhood, his home sustained much water damage and most of his equipment and wood were ruined. He waded through waist-deep water to reach a rescue boat, rather than waiting for it to pick him up. The EMTs who triage him decide to transfer him to the nearest ED. You are the nurse assessing Mr. Jones. You observe that he has multiple cuts on his hands that are a result of woodworking and an ulcer on his right foot. He reports that the ulcer developed after a tool fell on his foot. He adds that he has not sought medical treatment for it. Mr. Jones's physical assessment findings reveal: T 100.7°F; P 96 beats/min, R 20 breaths/min, and BP 178/100 mmHg; his skin is cool and dry with multiple lesions on both hands and a stage II ulcer on his right dorsal foot with yellow-green exudate.
