, Part I: Recognizing RELEVANT Clinical Data
History of Present Problem:
Mandy Gray is a two-month-old infant born with a large ventricular septal defect (VSD) that was diagnosed
by her pediatrician during her two-week infant check-up. The parents called her pediatric cardiology clinic
because Mandy was breathing faster and showed signs of increased work of breathing. Her mother states that
she is having difficulty nursing because she tires easily and then becomes fussy and cries because she is
hungry. Her height and weight are below the 25th percentile (wt: 4.5 kg. ht: 54 cm). Her Mom reports that
Mandy’s weight has increased by 8 ounces (240 g) in the last 24 hours. Her pediatric cardiologist is concerned
about worsening heart failure and Mancy will be admitted with a diagnosis of acute heart failure.
Personal/Social History:
Mandy is the first child of Jim and Jessica who were married two years ago. They were both raised in the
Catholic faith but are not active in the church. Both parents seem anxious about their infant daughter but
express hopefulness about the surgery to correct the problem. The surgery is scheduled in four months. Her
mother is an RN who works in a dermatology clinic. Since Mandy’s birth, her mother has stayed home to care
for Mandy because she is too medically fragile to be cared for in a daycare setting. Both of Jim’s parents are
deceased, and Jessica’s parents live in another state.
