Sherman Red Yoder - All PPart 1: Plan of Care Concept Map (adapted from vSim template) Simulation Patient Overview • Client summary: presentation, medical history and background, physical assessment findings, medications, diagnostics • brief summary of pathophysiology and rationale for clinical manifestations Red is an 80-year-old male who lives alone, 20 miles from the nearest city. The patient has previously been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (six months ago) and has recently began taking insulin. The nurse came to Reds’ house to assess and evaluate a wound that was caused by wearing shoes that were too tight. The toe was injured about three weeks ago. It is plausible that Red has developed peripheral neuropathy which is typically caused by diabetes. This causes loss of sensation and numbness to the extremities. In Reds’ case, he might have not felt in the injury on his toe and that is why he did not address it immediately. Red also lives alone so there was no was else in the household to bring his attention to the injured toe.
