Case Study
Consider the following case study: Shaylee is a 24-year-old female. She is a member of the millennial generation who relies heavily on technology for many things, including healthcare. She comes into the clinic complaining of gastrointestinal distress. She also says that she is often constipated, gets diarrhea easily, and has noticed blood in her stool on several occasions. Shaylee has visited several websites and is certain that she has inflammatory bowel disease (IBS). Her mother also suffers from IBS, and WebMD stated that IBS runs in the family. You explain to Shaylee that to officially diagnose her with IBS and to ensure she gets the appropriate treatment, she must undergo several diagnostic tests. Shaylee refuses the tests explaining that she does not have good health insurance and cannot afford them. She insists that she has done her research on IBS and becomes agitated when you state that you cannot confirm the diagnosis without testing. Shaylee emphatically states that she knows she has IBS. She will not leave the office until you give her a prescription for Linzess, a medication that she also researched and found that it is highly recommended for the treatment of IBS.
-Recommend at least two strategies that you could use to explain the importance of testing to Shaylee while being sensitive to her millennial culture.
-Explain at least two of the barriers faced by you as a healthcare provider to aid in Shaylee’s care.
-Identify at least two additional considerations that should be taken into account when analyzing Shaylee’s case. Explain.
