Case Study Scenario:
You are a new nursing graduate assigned to a busy Emergency Department (ED) at a level I Trauma Center. The ED has just been
notified by local EMS that a multiple vehicle pile-up on the interstate has just occurred with several injuries.
The first victims to arrive in your ED is a family of four who just arrived in the United States from India one week ago, due to a job
promotion of the mother. She is to start her new job on Monday. The family consists of a father, mother, and two children, ages, 14
years (son) and 17 years (daughter). None of their injuries appear life threatening. As an intake nurse interviewing the family, you
observe that the father has difficulty breathing, complains of a sore throat, and extreme fatigue. You notify the ED physician
immediately.
You assess the father. You find the father has a fever of 103.2, complains of diarrhea, chills, nasal congestion, and headache. The
father states that he thinks he may have caught a cold from the cold airplane air. The son complains of a headache and nausea. He has
no fever. The mother and daughter have no complaints. The physician orders an Antigen Test for SARS-CoV-2 for the entire family.
The Antigen Test for SARS-CoV-2 results reveal that the father and daughter are positive for active Covid-19 disease. The results of the
test for the son and mother are negative. In assessing the daughter more thoroughly, she reports that she has had no symptoms for
Covid-19 disease in the last 6 weeks.
You ask about the family activities before and after their relocation to the United States. The father works from home as a data
analysis expert. He cooks for the entire family and they eat at home. The daughter has been attending school remotely but likes to
pick up coffee at the neighborhood café several times a week. The son likes sports and gathers with friends to watch games twice a
week. He also was attending school in person before the move and virtually since the move to the US.
The ED physician gives the order to place the father in a negative pressure room located in the ED, until an acute care bed is available.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions in narrative format: Use subheadings based on the
bolded/highlighted words.
1. As the nurse caring for this family, explain the immediate care of each family member.
2. Explain the use of the negative pressure room for the father.
3. What, if any, infectivity, and virulence issues would be different for this family based on the country of origin?

5. Explain the multivariant shift in Covid-19 disease. Does it complicate the effectiveness of the vaccine?
6. Which family members would be discharged and what would be their care?
7. What actions would the public health nurse consider when caring for a Covid-19 disease positive patient?
8. What education would the public health nurse provide to the family. Include teaching for each family member and what would
