The medieval church: The Christian church influenced life in the middle ages by numerous church activities, such as spiritual services, political powers, economic activities, social services, educational work and missionary work. Spiritual Services: The sacraments were a sacred ritual of the church and they were the only way to avoid eternal suffering in hell. By participation in the sacraments and following your faith you could avoid that eternal suffering. Political Powers: The Church has absolute power over the religious life of Christians in the middle ages. The church had created its own set of laws, which applied to religious teachings, behavior of the clergy and it also provided morals for life and marriage.
As nursing has progressed, theory has played a large role in defining the professional practice and identifying the standards to providing consistent, measurable practice among the profession. A basic definition of the term theory is given by Streubert & Carpenter (2011) as “a systematic explanation of an event in which constructs and concepts are identified and relationships are proposed and predictions made”. Nursing theories are the basic concepts that define nursing practice. It is why nurses do what we do. During any given shift, nurses are using several theories in ensuring that patients’ needs are being met and proper care is given to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Midwives need to advise women, explain the options and help them make informed choices about their care. You'll need to be able to provide reassurance and counselling and must also be a good listener and respond to what women are saying. Women who have babies come from all sorts of backgrounds and life stages, so you'll be supporting a diverse range of women during one of the most emotionally charged times in their lives. You'll need to be able to stay calm and alert in times of stress, and enable women to feel confident and in control. It is also important to gain as much knowledge as needed about anatomy and physiology in the job.
They may also conduct research, act as consultants or provide education to staff and family members. This nursing career requires a high level of diligence and teamwork. You will work closely with parents, neonatologists and other nurse specialists to achieve optimal results for your tiny patients. There are three levels in the neonatal nursing specialty: • Level I care for healthy infants. The demand for this level of neonatal nursing is decreasing because mothers and newborn babies are now more likely to stay in the same room together after birth.
“It is clear that women were seen as in no way inferior to their male counterparts in the church.”[3] One woman, Phoebe, was given the responsibility of carrying his letter to Rome, was a minister in the church, and lastly Paul’s own patron. Women, in short, appeared to have played a significant role in the churches of Paul’s day. His message to the Galatians reflects Jesus’ proclamation that there would be equality of men and women in the coming kingdom (Galatians 3:27-28). Paul’s message in 1 Corinthians 14 says that it is shameful for women to speak in church. Ehrman tries to make the case that the Bible is not reliable because Paul contradicts himself in the role of women in the church, and thus concludes that one of the books is not actually written by Paul but is actually a scribal addition.
In this present day many nurses have indeed contributed to modern medicine like Margaret Sanger. Margaret Sanger devoted her life to legalizing birth control and making it available to woman in the 1800s although she faced many challenges she did not give up until it was legalised and women had access to birth control. This has made life much easier for women nowadays to plan they futures before having children and preventing children been born with diseasesand unwanted pregnancies can be avoided instead of having abortions. People may not agree with the way Margaret went about it and may say she was racist but all races today use birth control pills. Margaret Sanger was born in 1879 in Corning, New York.
To optimize patient and family outcomes during resuscitation, nurses who are confident of their abilities in managing family presence can be assigned to code teams, rapid response teams, and family care during resuscitations. In the same way, nurses who favor family presence and are confident of their ability to manage the practice may act as role models for novice nurses, mentor experienced nurses, teach family presence at the bedside, serve on code teams, and lead change in units that do not practice family presence during resuscitation. (p. 109) Ultimately, much more work is needed in regards to family presence during resuscitation efforts. As the study showed, nurses are all doing something different based on the level of self confidence they demonstrate. Research, with the institution of policies and procedures will be key factors in the advancement of family presence during resuscitation efforts.
There were very few female writers during this period, and even fewer Puritan female writers. Due to a woman’s place in Puritan society, a preface was added to her narrative by a prominent Puritan pastor as his approval for the minister’s wife to publish her prose. This was done to protect her and her family’s reputation, so she would not be seen as overstepping her feminine boundaries. Reverend Mather viewed the publication of her story as a way to reinforce the stern Puritan values to the community. The many Biblical references and quoted scriptures made it even more engaging for those of the Puritan faith.
Florence believed it was the nurse’s job to put the patient in the best possible condition for healing, I believe this to be true as well, but do not feel it is a job just for the nurse. We have so many more professional types that specialize in various areas that I feel it is the “teams” job to put the person in the best possible condition for healing. Florence believed in community health nursing and working with the government. I believe this to be a part of the nurse’s job as well. In my definition I also stated to empathize with the patient and to listen to the patient.
The Amish do not use commercial health insurance; They believe they are responsible for their own group (Dickinson, Slesinger, & Raftery, 1996). Typically each community will have an insurance fund which is there to help families should they incur an unmanageable expense. Therefore, nurses should be ready to speak to husbands and church elders about any issues regarding care. Nurses should prepare to see large groups of visitors as the Amish community plays a strong role in the health concerns of its
