In relation to this situation there are three situations in which informed choice is a factor. Firstly, as a setting admitting a child and family with HIV we must make our policies and procedures regarding health and safety and medications available to the family so that they are aware of what is expected of them, i.e. providing a doctors covering letter regarding the medications being taken by the child and that they are fit and well. The confidentiality policy must be available to the family so that they are able to read the information in that regarding sensitive and confidential disclosures. The family can then make an informed choice as to whether they wish to have their child attend the setting.
Marie is directing patient centered care, but culturally, Carla prefers her family around her to support her and her help make decisions while Carla is recovering. One of the visitors in Carla’s room may be a partera who is helped Carla with the delivery and is helping with recovery. Carla may even have a trusted family member that will make decisions for her (Potter, Perry, Stockert & Hall, 2013). Delivering care to a patient in a way that is respectful to the patient and their family is crucial for several reasons. Culturally congruent care means taking in to account the beliefs and traditions of the patient and working them into the care plan.

Depending on your spiritual back ground it can be a conscious and a vision that healing can be possible and can be either mind and body combine or can occur
I can identify with more than one nursing theory influencing my practice but the one I most readily relate with is Julia Brenner’s Theory of Novice to Expert. I believe the reasons started when I was a brand new nurse at a small rural critical access hospital. They sent me to a class for “novice” nurses. It was a class that purpose was to further educate and provide an environment where we could voice our experiences. The hospital had a hard time retaining employees and one motive for the class was helping new nurses feel more comfortable and helping us have meaningful, fulfilling employment.
How the ANA Code of Nursing Ethics would influence a final decision in each case study. With the patient with the hemorrhagic stroke, it is our responsibility to discuss with the patient’s family possible options in which they would feel comfortable taking. According to the Code of Nursing Ethics, “the nurse’s primary commitment is to the patient, whether an individual, family, group, or community” (ANA Code of Nursing Ethics). With the patient having no advanced directives, the decision is much harder to take. Ethics committees can be useful in this situation, because they can help explain the patient’s situation and provide possible answers to those hard questions.
