Assignment Prompt & Instructions
The St. Fleur family is well respected in the Haitian community because they are religious, faithfully practice Jehovah's Witness, and have great moral values. Rhonda, the youngest daughter of this family, is 17 years-old and lives at home with her mother and father. Recently, she began having fevers and subsequently developed severe abdominal pain. She was admitted to the hospital, where laboratory tests were hCG and COVID-19 positive. Rhonda was in shock when the doctor informed her that she was pregnant and COVID-19 positive. She confessed to the doctor that she has been sneaking out during the Pandemic to see her boyfriend, but swears that she uses sexual prevention techniques. However, as her symptoms have de-compensated, she is rushed to the OR with a diagnosis of Ectopic Pregnancy. The family is at the bedside and reminds the surgical team that Rhonda's faith prevents her from receiving any blood products due to her religion and cultural beliefs.
