The patient made it very clear that she did not want the phlebotomist to draw her blood (Finnegan, 2013).This same phlebotomist has drawn her for several days for a Prothrombin Time (PT) and Activated Thromboplastic Time (aPTT) without incident, so he reports this situation to the nurse. The nurse informs the phlebotomist that the patient has formed a complaint against him and did not want him, in particular, to draw her blood. The blood had been drawn from the dorsal side of her hand for several days, which was now bruised and swollen. The patient complained of moderate pain, especially when she moved her fingers. Upon observation there was a diffuse ecchymosis over the dorsal side of the hand that extends up the forearm to the elbow.
In 1996 a pregnant woman, Darlene Brown, was admitted to Ingalls Memorial Hospital by her caring physician, Dr. Walsh. Brown had consented to have a cystoscopy and have a urethral mass removed. Brown had also been informed that she would lose blood during the operation, but had not discussed with her Doctor that she was a Jehovah's Witness and that blood transfusions are not part of her belief system. During the operation she lost more blood than anticipated and as result her blood hemoglobin level dropped below normal levels. Her low hemoglobin level put her and her unborn baby at high risk of death.
and daily visits by a nursing assistant to Francine R., who is largely incapacitated by multiple sclerosis. Confined to her bed, Francine is neglected by her husband, who often allowed her to go unfed or to lie in her own feces for days at a time. Visiting nurses also suspect he abuses Francine sexually, though she will not confirm this, and her catheter is often pulled out when they arrive. The couple’s insurance will no longer reimburse care for the catheter, nor for the other home-care visits. The visiting nurses and aides are extremely reluctant to cease their visits, knowing that Francine is likely to be at serious risk.
When the teacher noticed that Jojo was rapidly losing weight, she contacted Anna, who told the teacher to mind her own business. Because Jojo continued to lose weight and was hardly able to move during class time, the teacher filed an abuse report for neglect. Jojo was removed from Anna’s care and placed in a foster home.

We all ran down the stairs and looked into the kitchen, where we saw our mother laying on the ground, clutching her arm with our father glaring down at her. Liliana quickly ran over to where our mother was and began begging our father to stop hurting her while Nina grabbed Alex and took him to his room to get him to stop crying. My father glanced at me and Liliana before walking out of the kitchen. That night, we went to the hospital and our mother ended up having to where a cast because she broke her wrist when she fell. The very next day, we went to a dinner party where we had to pretend to be a big, happy family.
Samantha Gearhart Professor Ballard Sociology 120 16 January 2011 September 11, 2001 “Mom, what happened?” I asked my mother, curious as to why she sat in front of the TV crying and calling my father frantically. “Nothing sweetie, go to your room,” my mother responded as tears rolled down her cheeks. September 11, 2001 was a day that changed history forever. Although I was only eleven years old, and had no idea how horrible it truly was, I knew that something terrible had happened. After my mother was able to calm down, and my father returned from work, they sat me down to explain what had happened.
Once I started researching a career in nursing I realized that there were a lot more types of nurses then I had originally imagined. I have not decided on which field of nursing I would like to specialize in yet but I just imagine myself as a general nurse, working in a hospital setting. A Registered Nurse (RN) is not a doctor assistant; a RN gets to treat wounds, give IV’s and basically get to treat their own patients. Right now my main priority is to stay focused on taking all necessary steps to pursuing Nursing as a career.Gwendolyn Mink describes most Registered Nurses as working directly with the patients and their families. They are the families’ contact with the medical world, in the hospital and at the patients’ home.
We had finally figured out what the doctors met by a puzzle falling apart we could finally see that she was only a shell of her former self. It was about March of 2014 when she could no longer make in to the restroom and time so we have to start her on diaper not understanding the whole thing she would take her soiled diaper off and hide it any and everywhere we would found soiled diaper and clothes everywhere around the house; in her bed, under the bathroom sink, in the clean clothes, even in the kitchen. Then come the day when she started to give up she longer wanted to even walk to the restroom. I would have to help her and push her to walk to take a shower or use the restroom. This started to because a daily process that she thought was use being mean to help daily she didn’t understand I was trying to help her.
