Read the following story from which to address the paper: Maureen meets with Isaias. He has all the stressors of a patient managing life with cancer but is also a tenacious teenager. Maureen and Isaias talk about his chronic pain and how it limits his participation in school tasks. Between the Adderall for ADHD and the pain, he is unable to sleep at night, which makes a morning routine for school nearly impossible. He is doing well with basic bathing and dressing, but he has not been wearing his new prosthetic because of pain. Maureen talks about different strategies with Isaias, but he reports, “I have tried all of those things; nothing works. The pain is too bad.” Maureen probes more, saying, “Remember your last good day. What made a difference?” Isaias responds, “The only thing that makes a difference is when my mom gives me some of her boyfriend’s marijuana to smoke. I haven’t really told anyone because we only tried it a few times, but both times I slept through the night. She would kill me if she knew I told you, but I figure soon enough it will be okay because it is legal in a bunch of states now. Plus, what have I got to lose?” Maureen does not know quite how to respond. Isaias’s mom did not accompany him to his appointment today. She lets Isaias know that they are going to need to talk about this more and include his mom and the interprofessional care team in the conversation; in the meantime, she advises him to refrain from any additional marijuana use. Maureen is overwhelmed and walks to Daniela’s office to tell her about the visit. Daniela says, “Oh my gosh, Maureen! Dr. Horner is going to be irate. I don’t know what she will do. You know she lobbied up at the statehouse against the marijuana bill and feels very strongly about it. We’ll have to pull the team together. I’ll pull up his other medications. We might even have to file on the mom. Ugh. Don’t you wish he never told you?” Maureen thinks about what Daniela says. What a way to round out her first month.
