Case Study with Critical Thinking Questions
Scenario 1
Kelly Anderson, 15 years old, is being seen for back pain. She strained muscles while playing volleyball at
school. Her chart notes that she has an allergy to ibuprofen. The provider has seen her and left a prescription
and an order for medication. You, the MA, prepare and administer Advil 600 mg, per the order. Within a few
minutes, Kelly begins to complain of itching all over. When you go back to check the chart, you notice that
both the chart and the prescription are for Kevin Anderson, another patient being seen across the hall.
