...Supporting the Human Spirit is the #4 domain in creating change in activities within long-term care (Gfeller, 2016). The activities older adults participate in should lend a hand to a meaningful life and support the wants and needs of the resident. As I dove deeper into the case studies and compared them to the activity calendar provided, it was clear that certain aspects of resident want and needs were not being provided. Case Evaluation One of the residents I chose to evaluate was a 73-year-old man who used to enjoy watching baseball, Catholic activities, and group activities. Although he has a few vision and mobility issues...

...Transplant and Medication Compliance: Patient-Centered Nursing Interventions will Facilitate Better Patient Compliance of Medications in Post-Renal Transplant Recipient Yonica Jamieson Jersey College Abstract Patient in compliance with prescribed medications or treatments is warrant, in any medical condition. This research paper, focused and took a look at the effects of non-compliance with immunosuppressant medications in post-renal transplant recipients, such as graft rejection. Identified some barriers to compliance and discussed how patient-centered nursing interventions should be used to alleviate these barriers and bring about compliance with immunosuppressant medications, at the same time decreasing graft rejection in renal transplant recipients. Renal Transplant and Medication Compliance: Patient-centered Nursing Interventions will Facilitate Better Patient Compliance of Medications in Post-Renal Transplant Recipients In medicine, the term non-compliance is commonly used in regard to a patient who does not take a prescribed medication or follow prescribed course treatments (MedicineNet, 2012). This is one of the major issues with post-renal transplantation recipients. Renal transplant is a surgery done to implant a healthy kidney into a person with end-stage renal disease.

...Patient center care is providing care that is respectful of, and responsive to, individual patient preferences, needs and values, and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions. Is that the case for “all” people? In some cases yes, in others not so much. Transgender people have different aspects when it comes to patient centered care. In an article written by Katie A.E. Ross, she talks about the health care experiences of Transgender individuals. It was noted that the healthcare system does not always function effectively for the transgender population. More than half of transgender individuals report symptoms that consist with clinical depression. A study conducted with five transgenders, three friends/family/significant...

...Although there are good opportunities for scientific discovery, the line has been crossed multiple times and it is necessary for the patient’s rights and needs to be put first. “The need for research and the need for oversight are not competing agendas; they are 2 pillars that support the research enterprise. It is time to restore the balance” (Infectious Disease Control, 2009, 333). I like how this quote encompasses the future of patient centered care. As important as research is one cannot veto the voice of the patient. It is also important to respect patients’ information and the most recent form of protection that was installed was “the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), was enacted in 1996 and implemented in 2003 to protect an individual’s health information” (Burns, 2009, 188). These measures have ensured that people take their jobs seriously and provide the best patient centered care...

...the hustle of caring for patients, there are some details of the patient’s care that can be overlooked in a standard phone report to the accepting nurse. With this in mind, a change is needed so that there is an optimum patient outcome for each and every one of the people that walk through the doors of the emergency room and get admitted. A1. The current practice in the emergency department that I work in when admitting a patient to the medical floor goes something like this. 1. Emergency department doctor enters orders for a consulting doctor to come and look at the patient to determine if an admission is warranted. 2. The consulted admission doctor assesses the patient and determines admission diagnosis. 3. Orders are written for admission. 4. Admission orders and chart is assessed to determine if the patient meets inpatient or observation criteria by case management registered nurses. 5. Once inpatient vs. observation status is determined, case management puts up an indicator on patient chart that bed can be ordered. 6. Primary RN requests bed from bed board using computerized bed request form. 7. Bed board assigns room to patient and places an indicator on patient chart with room number. 8. Primary nurse calls floor that patient is assigned to and asks to speak to nurse assigned to patient. 9. Phone report is given to accepting nurse. 10.

...a Business Case Study A business case study confronts students with a real-life dilemma and engages all their abilities to solve its challenges. In presenting a specific business or policy situation—one that does not have an obvious solution—the case provides information for classroom discussion and other study. A good case study stimulates an educated conversation and the building of business knowledge. The best case studies are learning-centered, not instructor-centered. Details describing the differences between the two can be found in Exhibit 1. A student reading the case should be provided with the information needed to make good decisions about the case, or the ability to find the information if that is a learning objective. Information critical to solving the case should never be contained exclusively in the case’s teaching note, because doing so puts the instructor in the center of the learning, and leads to frustrated students. Cases should satisfy professors and students as well as the businesses, organizations, and people featured in the cases. Although these interests might appear in conflict, a case that is written with fairness and intelligence will ultimately receive the respect of all parties. The best cases have several structural characteristics in common including a protagonist, specific time frame, and use of past tense. An author who becomes experienced in case writing may deviate from this pattern, but doing so may result in an inferior case. The structure...

...Case study 2 In case study 2, it is found that there are a few problems Kelly has. First, it is the communication in Kelly’s family is poor. It is the main problem to Kelly, and there exist a chain reaction in it, so there are other problems are applied in her situation. From the passage, Kelly’s family is keeping to instil Kelly that she is the eldest daughter and she have to help her younger siblings. From the behavioral of her parents doing to brag about Kelly, it is pressuring Kelly indirectly. Since the parenting styles (Baumrind, 1991) of Kelly’s parent is authoritarian. They are keep demanding Kelly to do for the best and being a helpful daughter and do the best sister to take care her younger siblings. And they reject Kelly that not to go for further study. In Kelly’s family it is adult-centered, and her parents control the child’s welfare. Also, Kelly obey their parents invisible rule, careful not to do anything wrong in front of them. The typical Family Life Cycle (Olson & McCubbin, 1983), it mention that in stage 3, which a family with children in elementary or high school, just like Kelly’s family. In this stage, it is better for Kelly’s parents to establish the foundations of the children’s self-esteem, values, and lives. The parent-child relationships exert critical influences on children’s identities and self-concepts. But to Kelly’s parents, maybe because they have to work all day long, they just hope that Kelly can help to reduce their responsibility in...

This collage values happiness, wealth and family bondage than other matters in life. I express my vision for a happy family, values and goals to measure progress. My vision aims to ensure family safety, health and togetherness. In order to have a happy family, one must attend to all their needs including shelter and food. One also has to try and be the best father or mother and thus promote common family values that ensure commitment, guidance, respect and openness in the family relationships. I upholds these values as a consequence of ill-upbringing. There was no care for me during my early life. There was also no such a thing as rights to be provided. After a deep soul-searching, I...
