[Verified Answer]: Case Study: Shelly Ambrose “I don’t know how…

Case Study: Shelly Ambrose “I don’t know how much longer I can keep this up,” thought Shelly, “these awful nights of not sleeping. I didn’t get to sleep last night until 2 AM, and then I had to be up at 5:30 AM to get to the hospital for clinical. That’s not enough sleep. I feel like a character on The Walking Dead.” She said a silent prayer that she would not harm anyone during her clinical shift and continued driving to the hospital. Shelly Ambrose is a 25-year-old nursing student, a single mother with two children, and she works part-time as a nursing assistant at night in the local hospital. Over a period of 6 months, Shelly has had increasing problems sleeping. She has had trouble getting to sleep at night and also, at times, waking up in the middle of the night. She is feeling exhausted most of the time now and is having trouble functioning and studying for her courses. Her friends tell her to just see her physician for sleeping pills. In addition, she is a nursing student in an accelerated program. She is getting C’s in most of her courses, but she is used to getting mostly A’s and some B’s. In addition, her youngest child has developed chronic ear infections―ah, the joys of being a mother and a nursing student!
