Patient and family involvement in plan and care is very vital. The outcome is that the patient/family should be to recognize signs and symptoms of MI and be able to call for emergency assistance (911). Assess and educate the patient on diet control – Have the patient tell you
The stroke unit is a specialist unit that cares for patients with strokes from an early point of their condition through to rehabilitation and, for some patients, up to discharge. Care is provided by a multi-disciplinary team that specialises in care for stroke patients. I will use Gibbs’ model of reflection (1988) in making sense of the cycle of six stages. Ways in which your skills have developed during your work placement. The reflections I have written demonstrate particular items of learning, but as an overview I would say that my skills have developed during the work placement by me becoming more aware of the systems in place on the ward, and increasing my knowledge of stroke and other related medical conditions.
2. The social worker who is also a bilingual translator would be used to clarify the information discussed during the conference and doctor visits. Ms. W. would be able to communicate her instructions to the patient and get immediate feedback on how the patient feels regarding the instruction provided during the appointment. She would explain to the patient the importance of communicating her concerns to healthcare team, rather than ignoring them. 3.
On a daily basis, nurses use these domains in nursing education and patients with chronic diseases. Each domain is comprised of a hierarchy of behaviors, attainable, in order, from simplest to the most complex. His taxonomy would not remain static. In the mid-nineties, Lorin Anderson, a former Bloom student, started a revision of Bloom’s Taxonomy. She changed the categories from noun to verbs and slightly rearranged their order.
TUI University Module 02 Case Assigment BHM320 Dr. Shawn Wilson November 1, 2010 Deming’s four step model is one model that healthcare organizations use to improve quality. Plan, do, study, act are the steps within the model that can be repeated as often as necessary to continuously improve processes within the organization. This paper will define the objectives of each step and how each applies to improving patient flow from the emergency room to the admitting ward. Deming’s Model: Part One Before implementing the four steps (plan, do, study, act), several questions must be answered by the team initiating the improvement: What are we trying to accomplish? The team must determine and agree upon what changes it is seeking.
Step three would be planning and the outcomes of the patient’s diagnosis, the nurse must do some rapid changes in the patients care to make sure they get treated. Step four consists of the nurses implementing the patients planned health care plan to ensure full recovery of the patient. Last but not least is step five, which incorporates evaluation of both the patients and the nurses’ health plan for the patient (“The Nursing Process”). Just like the nursing process, the scientific process includes five steps as well, with step one being asking a question for the problem being faced with. Step two consists of making a hypothesis to what is to what the answer to the question is Step two would be to develop a study design in order to solve the question Step four is testing the hypothesis with an experiment and analyze the data gathered to see if the hypothesis is.
Not only is it important for healthcare providers to construct and implement a treatment plans, but also to involve patients in medical decision making about their treatment. To determine effectiveness, healthcare providers must assess how treatment of the illness effects the patient in addition to their own evaluation of treatment. The dictionary definitions of effective are (a) adequate to accomplish a purpose, producing the intended or expected result; (b) in operation or in force, functioning; (c) producing a deep or vivid impression; (d) prepared and available for service; and (e) a member of the armed forces fit for duty or active service (“Effective”, n.d. a). According to Stedman’s Medical Dictionary (2006), the medical definitions of effective are (a) the extent to which a treatment achieves its intended purpose; (b) A measure of the accuracy or success of a diagnostic or therapeutic technique when carried out in an average clinical environment. According to Wikipedia (n.d. b), the usage of effective includes (a) mathematics, can be used as a synonym of
Benner (1984) describes how the student initially learns skills as a series of steps and states that a student acquires some experience of the clinical area and that they should be able to see the ‘whole’ picture before they can effectively achieve the competence. The clinical skill I have chosen to reflect on within this essay is blood pressure. Before starting my midwifery training I worked as a healthcare assistant within a medical practice for eighteen years, taking blood pressure was a vast part of my role. Although I always felt competent in taking a blood pressure and had some knowledge and understanding of the theory related, I would suggest my knowledge of the cardiovascular system was very basic. According to Coni and Coni (2003) in order to understand blood pressure, it is important to have knowledge and understanding of the circulatory system.
As I read the entries from my reflective journal, I could see how my focus shifted from assisting patient with his basic needs at the beginning of the nursing school to more comprehensive nursing care today. My years of experience in education and later in quality control, influenced values that have translated well into the nursing field. First and foremost are work and client safety. The quality of service, attention to detail, and
The capstone will give you the opportunity to apply information and skills gained from previous courses (and work experience) and to develop a plan to address a "real world" healthcare issue and apply problem-solving skills to the issue, while using knowledge you acquired in the courses you took for your BSHS. You will be expected to provide a scholarly basis for your response. Your opinions should be justified with evidence from the literature. References should be cited properly in the text of your essay, as well as at the end. Several scholarly references should be cited for this assignment.
