...Assignment 1 Case Formulation Student Name: Briony Leonard Student Numbers: U1063496 Examiner: James Brown Word Count: 1529 Case Introduction The video clip, Feminist Counselling (Mill Valley, CA: Psychotherapy.net, 1997) documents a one to one counselling session between Robin (the client) and her therapist Dr Lenore Walker (Psychotherapy with the Experts). Robin is a 29 year old mother, married, with a two year old son, Cameron. Robin indicated in her initial conversation with Dr Walker that she has attended counselling due to her ‘bond’ that she has developed with her son and how that she feels lost in direction and within herself as an individual. Robin has suggested that she feels that her own self-identity has become less apparent now that she is a mother. “Where does Robin the individual fit in all of that, because I’m not always going to be a mother’’ As Robin continues her session with Dr Walker, the focus shifts away from her concerns about herself and looks deeper into the relationship she has with her husband Ed, her relationships with her immediate family and also Ed’s family. The focus then shifts back to possible occupational directions for Robin. Presenting Complaints and Goals Robin initially presents with concern for her self-identity as a person as she discusses that she has solely focused herself on being a mother for the last two years. Robin appears to be lost in her direction as an individual, has a lowered self-esteem and has feelings of being a burden...

...Advance concept of nursing I Unit 1 Nursing process The nursing process is an organized sequence of problem solving steps used to identify and to manage the health problems of clients .The nursing process is the framework for nursing care in all health care settings.When nursing practice follows the nursing process, clients receive quality care in minimal time with maximal efficiency. The steps of nursing process 1)Assesment 2)Diagnosis 3)Planning 4)Implementation 5)Evaluation Assessment An RN uses a systematic, dynamic way to collect and analyze data about a client, the first step in delivering nursing care. Assessment includes not only physiological data, but also psychological, sociocultural, spiritual, economic, and life-style factors as well. For example, a nurse’s assessment of a hospitalized patient in pain includes not only the physical causes and manifestations of pain, but the patient’s response—an inability to get out of bed, refusal to eat, withdrawal from family members, anger directed at hospital staff, fear, or request for more pain mediation. Diagnosis The nursing diagnosis is the nurse’s clinical judgment about the client’s response to actual or potential health conditions or needs. The diagnosis reflects not only that the patient is in pain, but that the pain has caused other problems such as anxiety, poor nutrition, and conflict within the family, or has the potential to cause complications—for example, respiratory infection is a potential hazard...

...Dialysis case study A 66-year-old black male was seen by his primary provider for complaints of fatigue, anorexia, swelling of hands, face, and ankles, muscles cramps, and increased difficulty breathing. He has a 3-year history of poorly controlled hypertension related to non-adherence to the medical regimen. His B/P routinely runs in the range 155-165/92-102. His B/P today was 170/105. The client does not like to take pills and feels that they are not necessary. He also has been reluctant to modify his diet and likes to eat fried foods. He does not think his eating habits are causing any problems. Because of these symptoms, the client was admitted to the hospital for treatment and further evaluation. His lab values and renal studies confirmed the diagnosis of end stage kidney disease. Because of the severity of his problems, he was started on hemodialysis. What is the likely cause of his kidney failure? Explain your answers His kidney failure is caused by uncontrolled blood pressure and lack of treatment compliance. When you have uncontrolled high blood pressure it affects the kidneys because the blood vessels narrow and stiffen causing the nephrons in the kidney to work harder. Eventually if hypertension is left untreated it can lead to end stage renal disease because the nephrons in the kidney are no longer able to filter out the toxins such as nitrogen waste which builds up in the blood. They also are unable to maintain fluid or electrolyte balance. Eventually...

...2011 David Elkins Personal Ethical Belief System and Professional Ethics In the profession of human services, every professional will at some point, include his or her personal ethical standards into his or her work with clients. My personal ethics are a huge part of who I am today, and these beliefs affect every decision I make whether it is personal or professional. I believe a person’s life experiences are what shape his or her personal ethical belief system and professional ethics. A person’s morals determine what is right and what is wrong in his or her life. Everyone is responsible for his or her actions whether it is right with rewards, or wrong with consequences. Combined with these factors, worldviews also plays a huge role in the decision-making process. The framework for decisions is created from a person’s values, beliefs, morals, and personal experiences. According to Freeman, (2000, p. ix) Ethics is “the study of standards of conduct and moral judgment; moral philosophy.” Ethics is a part of philosophy and an application of what we believe is true about our reality. Every person has a right to his or her own beliefs about what is true or not. These “Codes of ethics are designed to guide practitioners, protect the welfare of clients, safeguard the autonomy of professional workers, and enhance the status of the profession” (Freeman, 2000, p. x) I believe my greatest influence came from my personal experiences. Although my mother tried to teach me right from...

Antihistamines are given to relieve the symptoms, but the person may have to take them 12 months of the year. Anaphylactic shock is the most extreme form of reaction and it can be fatal in not treated medically immediately. Anaphylaxis develops suddenly, the face, lips, tongue and airways start to swell, cutting off respiration. Anxiety, tightness in the chest and difficulty breathing are also present. Blood vessels begin to dilate (widen) causing a severe drop in blood pressure, this may lead to unconsciousness and shock. What to do if a client, or someone near you, suffers an allergic reaction: For mild to moderate reactions: 1. Calm and reassure the person, as anxiety may worsen the symptoms 2. Try to identify the allergen and remove it from the area if possible. If the reaction is to a bee sting, remove the sting by scrapping it out with a finger nail or the edge of a plastic card. Don’t use tweezers – it may break off, or squeeze it – this releases more venom...

...COMPANY: Long Term Capital Management OVERVIEW: The following Case Study addresses an amazing Company called “Long Term Capital Management” (LTCM). This is a fascinating story of big time business and the ignored impact of the omnipresent timeless, Ten Early Warning Signals. These Signals can be controlled and converted into profitable success or perilously ignored at the risk of losses and eventual failure. DATE PREPARED: July 4, 2007 CASE STUDY PREFACE During our three decades of “hands on” Business Survival Consulting” assignments we would constantly push to improve Client profitability. Profit Improvement in one form or another is, of course, the foundation of a successful turnaround. During this process we clarified and expanded upon three axioms that, to a greater or lesser degree, are generally unknown and/or certainly under utilized in the quest to improve corporate profitability in American Business. These three axioms are: AXIOM ONE: “Key People Know” Who knows a company better than the key people in a company? Nobody does! The collective knowledge of key personnel, if properly focused and channeled, can be an omnipotent Profit Improvement force for top management in their Profit Improvement efforts. AXIOM TWO: “Crisis Avoidance and/or Crisis Correction” constitutes the basic operating environment of most “for profit” companies. In its most simple approximation, 20% of Businesses are generally crisis free. The next 60% of Businesses are involved in a series of minor...

...university, he did his research on the Central Nervous System under the guidance of German physician `Ernst Wilhelm Von Brucke’. Freud received his medical degree in 1881and later in 1883 he began to work in Vienna General Hospital. Freud spent three years working in various departments of the hospital and in 1885 he left his post at the hospital to join the University of Vienna as a lecturer in Neuropathology. Following his appointment as a lecturer, he got the opportunity to work under French neurologist Jean Charcot at Salpetriere, the famous Paris hospital for nervous diseases. So far Freud’s work had been entirely concentrated on physical sciences but Charcot’s work, at that time, concentrated more on hysteria and hypnotism. Freud’s studies under Charcot, which centered largely on hysteria, influenced him greatly in channelising his interests to psychopathology. In 1886, Freud established his private practice in Vienna specializing in nervous diseases and soon afterwards got to his fiancée Martha Bernays, who came from a well-known Jewish family in Hamburg. In 1888, Freud started using hypnotism in his practice. But, later he dropped it and started using a method, which was being used by Dr. Josef Breuer. The method was based on the assumption that hysteria was a product of psychical trauma, which had been long forgotten by the patient,...
