Loralie Gilmore is a 17-year-old mother of 8-month-old daughter Rory. Loralie has been experiencing cold/flu symptoms for 2 weeks and states she has had a fever for 4 days. When you listen to her chest you hear that she has fluid in her lungs. When you interview her about her health history you learn she recently ran away from home, she has gotten a job and a place to stay at a nearby inn. She is worried about how long she will be in the ER as she does not want to miss any work. She does not have anyone around her to help watch her daughter and she brings her with her while she works at the inn. Her workplace is supportive, but she is worried about making sure she can provide for her daughter. She has completed high school but has not attended any post-secondary education. 1.
