Whereas in America we have one last name and when a woman gets married it changes to her husband’s last name. La Siesta. In the early hours of the afternoon, when the intense heat of the sun discourages physical activity, people take a rest period, la siesta. Business people shut their doors at about one o'clock and go home to eat lunch with their families. Lunch is the biggest meal of the day and a time for the family to gather together.
Emma has a 4 year old daughter and she is a single mum. She took a year’s break from her studies following the birth of her child. The two main issues that may affect Emma’s learning are; time management impacted by being a single mother and lack of experience in a forensic setting. When Emma commenced on the ward, we had our initial meeting within her first week and we identified her learning needs and issues that may affect her learning. Strategies for supporting her learning were also identified (see learning contract).
COMMUNICATION BASED REFLECTIVE ESSAY The purpose of this essay is to critically reflect, using Gibb’s reflective model (1998), on an event from practice where communication had a significant impact on the care of a woman accessing maternity services. Fictitious names will be used throughout to maintain confidentiality, in line with regulations set by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC 2008). One case that has been critical to my learning as a student midwife is that of Edivania; a 33-year-old Portuguese woman, who had lived in England for just under a year and had had her first child by emergency caesarean eleven years earlier in Portugal. I met her on delivery suite where she had self-referred in spontaneous labour, at 39 weeks. Before this she had, as documented in her notes, only accessed maternity and antenatal services three times.
The purpose of this paper is for the nurse to complete a health assessment of a family by using Gordon’s 11 functional health patterns and the system’s approach. By using open ended questions for the 11 principals, the nurse can predict potential problems in the health perception, nutrition, elimination, activity-exercise, cognitive perception, rest-sleep, self perception/concept, role relationship, sexuality, coping, values and beliefs by evaluating the risk taking and behavioral patterns within the family. A nursing diagnosis and care plan can then be developed by using the data collected during the interview. The nurse can then provide health care interventions which will assist the family in obtaining optimal health (Edelman & Mandle, 2010). The family interviewed consists of five family members.
Developing a Core Staffing Model Dutchess Scott Kaplan University CM220 College Composition 2 Developing a Core Staff It’s 4:45pm on Wednesday afternoon and Mary receives a call from her daycare provider that her little girl is nauseous and running a fever. Mary calls her doctor’s office and schedules an appointment for her daughter to get in right away. A year ago, Mary would have had to choose between urgent care or an emergency room visit to provide care for her daughter. As delivery of healthcare is changing, medical clinics need to be staffed with a developed core staffing model. The core staffing group will be able to handle the daily fluctuations in volume while maintaining continuity of care and keeping stress levels low.
At the grocery store, I bought things that my mother wanted. This time it was a pound and a half of ground beef and a pound of ground pork because my mother was going to mix them into a meat loaf. This was mine and my father's favorite dinner along with baked potatoes, green beans, and a tossed salad. We eat healthy in our house. Our breakfasts, lunches and dinners are all on the healthy side.

Following on will be a discussion of the different ‘tools’ that can be used when following a person-centred approach to social work practice. Following this, the Valuing People, White Paper (Department of Health, 2001) will be discussed followed by a critique of the person-centred approach to social care. Lastly, a justification will be given as to why this approach was deemed appropriate in relation to the following scenario which was chosen by our group. Scenario – (248 words): Beth is a young woman who has a moderate learning difficulty and currently lives in supported living accommodation. Prior to this, Beth had lived in residential care since the age of twelve.
