...Running head: COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSING ASSESSMENT Community Health Nursing Assessment Alison C. Jessup Saint Joseph’s College COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSING ASSESSMENT Abstract COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSING ASSESSMENT Prior to becoming a nurse five years ago I didn’t really give much thought to the community that surrounded me. I independently went about my daily life without really considering my neighbors or municipality and I certainly wasn’t geared towards thinking about how I can give back to the community. It wasn’t until I began working in a local hospital that I started to contemplate the community and those I serve not only within the confines of the brick and mortar but far beyond. I initially started to become involved in the Jordan Hospital community and today I currently participate in various committees such as our Unit Based Council, Service Excellence, Meditech 6.0 Computer Implementation and our Stroke Resource Team. Exposure to various teambuilding opportunities has enhanced my relationship with senior leadership and also allowed me to be a voice for staff nurses and implement positive change. A particular area that I saw the greatest opportunity for change with the most impact to patient care and safety was with our stroke team. It is not unusual to have patients admitted to my floor with a diagnosis of Cerebral Vascular Accident or Transient Ischemic Attacks. Rarely do we see the inpatient stroke victim, but it does happen. The first inpatient stroke...

...minimize the potential for harm from fire, and smoke (TJC, 2013). A review of documentation showed appropriate ILSM was not initiated during 3 construction projects this put employees and patients at risk. Education of fire safety equipment should have been completed before the project. The gift shop did not have the required 18 inch clearance from the sprinklers. All sprinklers must have at least 18 inches below and around of clearance for The Joint Commission standards. Review of department documentation shows that the master alarm panel for medical gasses was not tested annually per policy. This is a policy written by the hospital that is not being met. They are to follow the policies that they set for themselves. The Fire Drill History Report showed that the fire drill process is not adequate and does not meet standards. Quarterly fire drills are to be conducted as regulated by the Life Safety Code (TJC, 2013). Clutter was found in the hallways of 3E, 4E, OR and telemetry this could restrict people from leaving the floor safely in case of fire or smoke. Accreditations function of Nursing Leadership it was discovered that Nurses on 3E were not documenting in a timely manner. When questioned they responded that they were “too busy”. Resulting in overtime and low morale on the unit causing discussion about staffing, staffing patterns and nurse to patient ratio.

...Causes The body stores iron and when the reserves are low it is referred to as IDA. This occurs when the body is not able to replace the RBCs and iron as fast as the body is losing it. Another contributor is the body is not absorbing the iron or the body can absorb the iron but the consumption of iron rich foods is inadequate. Other causes of IDA is loss of iron from bleeding. Bleeding can be a result of heavy menstrual cycles, stomach & esophageal cancer, varices in the esophagus from liver cirrhosis, peptic ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding and from prolonged use of aspirin and other anti inflammatory medications. (Mayo Clinic, 2015). Rational: Ms. A states, “menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea has been a problem for 10-12 years”. She also reports taking 1000 mg of aspirin every 3-4 hours for six days while menstruating. (GCU, 2015). Symptoms Symptoms of IDA can start out being mild with little or no symptoms at all. Mild symptoms include: irritability, fatigue while exercising, headaches and difficulty concentrating. As the IDA slowly progresses, symptoms may become worse including: shortness of breath (SOB), brittle nails, pale skin, sore tongue, pica and being light-headed with position changes. (Medlineplus, 2015). Rational: Ms. A complains of increased SOB, lower than normal energy and enthusiasm levels. While playing golf at a high...

...Health Care Accounting Desiree Kelly March 21, 2016 U of P The hospital Elijah heart center is a 140-bed cardiac care hospital in New York this 120,000 square foot hospital has cardiac laboratories, radiology services, nephology, and pulmonology services to help those that suffered heart attacks, open heart surgery or any other heart-related illnesses. EHC is facing some financial problems such as capital shortfall, outdated equipment and the need for capital expansion. I was hired to analyze these issues and determine how to help and submit a report of my decisions. Here is the report of my decisions for EHC. Capital Shortage: The cost-cutting options that I choose were to reduced agency staff. Using a third party source to hire staff to help during peak times was helpful but at this time needs to be cut out to save on costs. I also decided to change the skill mix, to have unlicensed assistants help do things such answer phones, file, and input information will help raise the revenue. The loan that I thought was best for EHC is the $1,500.000 with the 9.45% for a 12-month term. I decided on this investment because it allows for early payoff. If the loan was to be paid off in 6 months the interest that would be saved will be $21,297 and there would be saving of more if the option to pay off even earlier than the six months. These changes fixed that capital shortage with EHC, which is causing patient needing services. Funding Options for the Equipment: I decided that...

...The reader should be able to understand during this analysis to what in fact is non-realistic in this television episode and what is reality as determined by what has been researched. This will show what really happens in a crime scene investigations lab. The episode chosen for this review was CSI: Miami, The Golden Parachute. The episode begins with an aircraft taking important people to testify in front of the Security Exchange Commission. The aircraft began to have issues after takeoff and crash landed in the Florida Everglades. Fishermen were located in and around the everglades and witnessed the crash, they were consumed by what just happened and alerted 911. This prompted Horatio and his crime scene investigative team to begin work. There were eight total passengers on board including the pilots. They immediately identified bodies in the water and determined that this was a leve1 two biohazard. There were bodies thrown from the aircraft in the same area and they also found a body five miles down the everglades. The investigations continued throughout. There were things noticed that was clearly polished, questionable and what seemed to be real as part of an investigation. The crime scene investigators also acted as crime lab technicians and police officers which are not in direct correlation with what they are supposed to be doing. The results from the examinations didn’t show an adequate amount of time was spent doing analysis. They seemed to have come back in five minutes...

...Budget Management Analysis for the Post Anesthesia Care Unit The budget management process is not an easy task. It is time consuming and difficult. There are some ways to overcome the challenge of managing budgets within forecasts. One way is to budget and report beyond the ledger. Data should be looked at beyond the company’s financial system. This will allow the company to create more accurate forecasts. Next the budget software should be user-friendly. If it is easy to use, the happier the employees are to use and understand it. Thirdly, the budget should have the options to incorporate a flexible financial model. Managers should be able to input information on how their particular department relates to other departments or functions. Next, the company must be able to adapt quickly to change because change is inevitable. The employees can respond to organizational, industrial, and global economic changes with re-forecasting or rolling forecasts. Improving collaboration between organizations, project teams, management, and department managers are another effective strategy to manage budgets within forecasts. Keep on task and submit tasks in a timely manner will help speed up the approval process. Last but not least always look to improve technology and software. One example would be cloud based software. This can decrease the cost for the company by decreasing the need for on-site IT infrastructure to maintain the information. My Manager is the Director of the entire Surgical...

...From www.bloodjournal.org by guest on March 10, 2015. For personal use only. How I treat How I treat enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma Antonio Di Sabatino,1 Federico Biagi,1 Paolo G. Gobbi,1 and Gino R. Corazza1 1First Department of Medicine, Centro per lo Studio e la Cura della Malattia Celiaca, Fondazione Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico Policlinico S. Matteo, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) is a complication of celiac disease (CD). This tumor derives from the neoplastic transformation of aberrant intraepithelial T lymphocytes emerging in celiac patients unresponsive to a gluten-free diet. Poor adherence to a gluten-free diet, HLA-DQ2 homozygosity, and late diagnosis of CD are recognized as risk factors for malignant evolution of CD. Recurrence of diarrhea, unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, fever, and night sweating should alert physicians to this complication. The suspicion of EATL should lead to an extensive diagnostic workup in which magnetic resonance enteroclysis, positron emission tomography scan, and histologic identification of lesions represent the best options. Treatment includes high-dose chemotherapy preceded by surgical resection and followed by autologous stem cell transplantation, although biologic therapies seem to be promising. Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet remains the only way to prevent EATL. (Blood. 2012;119(11): 2458-2468) Introduction Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic...
