The activity book should then be kept in your portfolio as evidence for your Diploma. Competence will be assessed in the workplace by health and social care assessors. [pic] [pic] Understanding and meeting the nutritional requirements of individuals with dementia. Dementia involves a gradual deterioration of brain function and over a period of time this will have an increasing impact on the person’s ability to eat and drink. As nerve cells die and/or overall brain size shrinks there will be many changes which affect the individual such as difficulty recognizing food, altered appetite, choosing what to eat and remembering if they have eaten or not.
To improve knowledge about how to do the ideal nursing intervention for clients with Strangulated Hernia. To do the necessary nursing intervention in hospital for client with Strangulated Hernia.

To give the proper care and build a genuine nurse-patient relationship conducive to good health Etiology * congenital weakening of the abdominal wall, * traumatic injury, * aging, * weakened abdominal muscles because of pregnancy, or * increased intra-abdominal pressure (due to heavy lifting, exertion, obesity, excessive coughing, or straining with defecation).
The forth issue that will examined is how different cultures effect an individual’s attitude regarding death and dying. Evaluate how individuals can promote health and wellness into late adulthood and mitigate the negative effects of aging Individuals can do a variety of activities that will promote health and wellness as an individual enters into late adulthood. One of the most important things that a person can do to promote health and wellness is to make sure that they eat proper diets that consist of all the food groups. The second thing that individuals can do to help promote health in wellness into late adulthood is by making sure they get a proper amount of exercise on a daily basis. By exercising individuals, increase their heart rate, which helps the heart to pump blood throughout the body (Pearson Hall, 2000).
Another specialty area is the control of transmissible diseases, in which epidemiology provides a comprehensive understanding of the magnitude, causes, and consequences. “Age influences people's susceptibility to disease or dysfunction (Adler, 1993).” This quotes relates to my current environment because in my current work environment, we see people from a variety of age ranges. I plan on using epidemiology by helping collecting more data/ information and being able to educate the patients through past experiences. “Theory specifies that environmental effects, such as parenting or peer and neighborhood influences, on health outcomes are perplexed with genetic effects because family generation share the same genes, and there is increasing evidence that genes play a role in the selection of one's social environments (Bergner, 1993).” The choices that we make in our lifestyles affect our health but we cannot let that determine our health outcome. The principles that I learn during course are very valuable.
To understand the link between health and illness, the physiological,psychological and social aspects of an individual's life must be taken into account. This project will be based on specific issued relating to nursing practice which I identified during placement. While (2002) states that effective communication is fundamental to effective consultation and appropriate environment which support privacy and confidentiality. Bate (1999) observing patients, allowed me to notice the distressing situation that the patients was which make them feel uncomfortable which have effects on their social, physical and psychological among older adult with mental health illness. During my observation in placement I found it to be more applicable to older adult complaining to the nurses how constipated the feel.
Behavioral Psychiatric Assessments I would like for you to consider the behavioral health issues you have dealt with in your clinical settings up until now, and submit to the objectives assignment link 2 objectives you have set for yourself to improve your interaction with patients with behavioral health problems. And, how you plan to meet them. The behavioral health issues I dealt with this semester include: anxiety, depression, dementia, smoking cessation, and insomnia. The goal during the interaction with patients with psychiatric issues was focused on improving my communication skills when taking history and performing physical assessments. Of particular note were the differences in approach between a behavioral health patient and
I thanked the Resident for this opportunity. I modified the interview for my resident by presenting her with her glasses, sitting at eye level, speaking slow and clearly, and repeating questions for clarification. After the data was collected I highlight the patient safety issue related to the aging process and resident physical needs. The primary safety issues that were identified are impaired mobility related to CVA, endurance related to fatigue, pain, nutritional status related to resident eating habits, impaired sensory related to vision, improper walker usage, polypharmacy, and the need to check expiration date.

Acute Renal Failure NU270 Assignment 6.1 7/26/2012 Patients that are in acute renal failure have many obstacles that they are faced with. The nurse should follow evidence based interventions when caring for them. Electrolyte imbalance, blood loss, infection, and nutrition are just a few of the issues the nurse must be educated about. It is important for the nurse to impose every intervention available to reduce the risk of infection in the patient experiencing acute renal failure. “Make sure appropriate hand hygiene is used.
According to Meleis (2007) knowing includes knowledge based on observation, research findings (evidenced based), clinical manifestations and scientific approach. As a stroke nurse empirical knowing it’s very important in taking care of stroke patients. I determine patient’s neurological status by performing neuro checks frequently every 1-2 hrs as the patient’s condition might deteriorate the first 24hrs and perform swallow test to determine if the patient can swallow medications. Patient’s plan of care is based on assessment findings(vital signs, Glasgow coma score).If a patient is confused and very weak fall precaution is observed by activating the bed alarms, request for a PT/OT consult, if the patient does not pass the swallow test, a speech therapist is consulted. Sometimes patient’s neurological deficits get resolved after a few hours or days and that calls for change of treatment plan.
