Case Study: Biopsychosocial Assessment
Karen is a 40-year-old African American female. She is
divorced and the mother of a
20-year-old daughter, Sarah. Sarah has a daughter who is 1½
years old. Karen lives in
Queens, New York, with her mother, daughter, and
granddaughter. Karen has a brother
who is married with a child. She is very close to her family.
Karen works full-time as an emergency room nurse. She has had
this job for more than
15 years. Her ex-husband was an alcoholic, and he left Karen
and Sarah when Sarah
was born. Karen has no history of drug or alcohol abuse. Karen
raised Sarah as a
single parent, and Sarah has no contact with her father. Karen
and Sarah regularly
attend the same local Christian church as Karen’s mother. The
family considers itself
religious. The church community is very important in the
family’s life.
Six years ago, Karen was working a shift in the emergency
room. Although she followed
standard universal precautions, Karen was stuck by a needle
through her glove. She
followed appropriate protocol for a needle stick according to
hospital policy. Ultimately,
Karen grew ill and she was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Karen
has taken antiretroviral
therapy for several years. She has had a good response to
treatment. She is fully
adherent to the HIV/AIDS treatment regimen. Karen’s family is
aware of her HIV status
but has not disclosed her status to friends or members of the
church community.
Karen was recently admitted to the hospital with a new
diagnosis of leukemia. She was
told that her condition was aggressive and she needed a series
of treatments including
chemotherapy. While on chemotherapy, Karen had an extremely
difficult time. She had
numerous painful and deteriorating side effects. Throughout all
of this, Karen kept a
bright sense of humor and the hope that she would recover. Her
daughter and
granddaughter were always in her thoughts. Karen’s mother
spent many days and
nights in the hospital. Karen allowed her daughter and
granddaughter to visit on
occasion, but she never told her daughter how bad her condition
was.
Karen was in the hospital for nearly a month. On some days, she
was bright and
cheerful. On others, she was so sedated on pain medication that
she was not coherent.
After multiple rounds of chemotherapy, Karen did not respond.
Her doctors ultimately
told her that there was nothing else they could offer her. Karen
and her mother were
devastated. At this point, Karen was weak, gaunt, and had little
ability to care for
herself. Her wish was to go home to die. Karen’s family tried to
take her home, but they
could not care for her alone. Karen fell and developed a high
fever that they could not
control. Karen was readmitted to the hospital for a short stay
and was ultimately
transferred to a hospice facility where she died. Her family was
with her around the
clock during this time.

Her daughter and granddaughter were always in her thoughts. Karen’s mother spent many days and nights in the hospital. Karen allowed her daughter and granddaughter to visit on occasion, but she never told her daughter how bad her condition was. Karen was in the hospital for nearly a month.
