A 48-yeаr-оld femаle wаs admitted tо a medical-surgical unit last night fоllowing a scheduled right, large toe amputation. Her medical history includes diabetes mellitus type I with multiple complications including peripheral neuropathy, retinopathy, gangrenous toes, and chronic kidney disease for which she manages continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). A nurse from the dialysis center arrives at 0615 to assist the client in a dialysate exchange. During the nurse’s pre-procedure assessment, the client states, “I don’t feel good this morning. I am really tired and have pain in my belly. I probably just need to get this exchange done.” The nurse completes the assessment and assists the client to begin draining the effluent which is cloudy and smells foul. The nurse collects a sample of the effluent and reviews the client’s EHR prior to calling the primary health care provider.
