Using a laminated card and by displaying the Whooley questions discreetly I have implemented them at each clinic I have undertaken since. It is essential that the HV is both confident and competent in the delivery of the questions and committed to exploring any concerning outcomes fully. It has been suggested that many new mothers will not disclose feelings of low mood due to the perceptions a health professional may have if she does. Edhborg (2005) suggested women who are depressed after giving birth often struggle with tremendous guilt over their depression and believe that it means they are a bad mother, this inhibits their likelihood to disclose feelings of low mood to a practitioner. I have seen mothers react after presentation of the Whooley questions, with a sheepish “No” on occasion.
FYI - this paper received 3s and 4s on the grading rubric. Just want you to know so you can evaluate this paper appropriately. I hope this helps you. Quality of Life and Functioning Personal Perceptions Personal experiences with death and dying can greatly influence one’s manner of rationalizing the situation. As a nurse with many years of experience in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Nephrology/Dialysis, I have had much experience with death and dying.
The following reflection is referring to an episode, which happened during my first week of my practice placement on a medical ward. To reflect upon this event, I am going to use DRISCOLL’S model of reflection, which will support me in reviewing my experience, analyse and evaluate, in order to help make future changes to my practise (Bulman and Schutz, 2008). The reason why I returned to this incident is because not only it was my first patient to refuse an observation, but also his aggression towards me led to a very challenging act of communication, which had a great impact on my professional skills. A reconstruction of this situation, developed my knowledge and added the meaning to my experience (Rodgers, 2002). That day my mentor and

Treatment plan “Approximately 28%–58% of individuals with heart failure (HF) suffer from cognitive impairment, commonly identified as difficulty with concentration and/or memory” (Bauer, Johnson, & Pozehl, 2011 p. 577). Mr. P needs a treatment plan that he will be able to adhere, considering his cognitive decline. His wife should be included in his treatment plan and will have to become a leader from now on. When Mr. P admitted to the emergency department, nurses provide basic care in order to sustain life. Nurses should be recording vital signs, order appropriate laboratory work ups, put Mr. P on oxygen via cannula, put him on I&O, administer prescribed medications, and strict daily weights.
Scenario A female is referred to home health services for skilled nursing evaluation, and observation. The patient was discharged from the hospital a few weeks ago diagnosed with a Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA). The skilled nurse was recommended to teach, train, and monitor the effectiveness of new prescribed Coumadin therapy. Standardized Terminology Application The registered nurse selected the appropriate clinical diagnoses using the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) terminology based on patient’s actual needs, and comprehensive assessment. The care plan was created using a linkage between diagnoses, interventions and patients’ desirable goals.
Sometimes in most cases a particular family member is trained by nurses to provide hands on care, and to supervise the patient around the clock. Many patients in hospice have been discharge to either home or nursing home if the disease goes into remission meaning if the cancer(s) somehow have subsides. Hospice was not designed to end hope for the patient or their family but to make the expected/unexpected death as comfortable and peaceful as possible. Hospice is not only for the elderly and cancer patients but it is for the young, the chronically ill. Hospice has a huge impact on our health care system the life expectancy is increasing tremendously. This is statement released by a group of physicians who did a research study on hospice.
I went to the cardiovascular health/open heart unit at Riverside hospital on October 7th to do the research. I also researched the job description which is available on the company’s website. I was also able to use the Nurse Manager as a source as she was a previous incumbent of the job and now is the current supervisor of the job. Processing the information
John SONNELAND, M.D., Petitioner When Suzan Berger went to see her Physician Dr. John Sonneland on July 1, 1993 for abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, severe dumping syndrome, vomiting and a 40-pound weight loss, she trusted him with the health problems she had been dealing with. Her symptoms began at age 22 and at age 27 she had multiple surgeries. Dr. Sonneland reported that Suzan told him she was taking various drugs, including Tylox, a narcotic for pain. She disputes this fact. She stated she gave him a written release to contact her previous physician Dr. Federic E. Eckhauser, at the University of Michigan Hospital, Ann Arbor, Michigan, to obtain her medical history, but did not list Dr. Hoheim, her former husband, as a past medical provider and did not give the Petitioner permission to contact him.
7 of the text, and this week’s articles on cardiovascular health. Remember—you will come into contact with seniors from all walks of life, so write questions that are direct, yet friendly. Apply judgment when writing questions; you cannot possibly cover all forms of cardiovascular disease with one 10-question interview. Finally, imagine you are actually conducting the interviews within a retirement community when one interviewee says her sister has been diagnosed with a particular cardiovascular disease. She wants you to explain what must be done to treat the disease because her sister did not understand the doctor’s explanation.
