The local social services and the English national regulator, Care Quality Commission, had received various warnings but the mistreatment continued. Even a senior nurse who worked within the hospital reported his concerns to management and also to CQC, but his complaint wasn’t taken up upon. The footage had shown staff repeatedly assaulting and harshly restraining patients under chairs, staff also gave patients cold punishment showers. They had even left one patient outside in near zero temperatures and had also poured mouthwash into another patient’s eyes. They had pulled patients’ hair and forced medication into their mouths.
An example of a routine in healthcare that seem to be inefficient is understaffing a floor with a high acuity rate. In the hospital that I work in, staffing is based on the census of the floor rather than the level of acuity which leads to end of shift overtime and in my opinion, nurse dissatisfaction and lead to more medical errors. An example of a participative decision making that exists in my workplace are encouraging the nurses to become members of the Shared Governance Committee. This committee gives nurses the autonomy to participate in the decision making process of practice in nursing. In our hospital we have nurses that are part of the retention and recruitment council, MAGNET council, nursing informatics council, and nursing practice council as part of the Shared Governance Committee.
He gets into many horrible conflicts and meets a lot of people. He is taken to a hospital at the end but it is not told what kind. At the end, it seems that Holden is in a mental hospital and I believe he exhibits many symptoms of A.D.P including impulsivity, deceitfulness, and consistent irresponsibility. The first symptom that Holden exhibits is impulsivity. He never tried to push himself in school.
The patient was angry because she stated that the nurse was taking too long to get her a room in the emergency department. The patient began yelling obscene words and trying to attack the nurse claiming it was her fault. The nurse stayed calm, did not act out towards the patient, and stayed empathetic to the patient. There are plenty opportunities for violence to occur in the emergency department because it is a fast paced environment, there is a diverse crowd of patients arriving, nurses have a big patient load sometimes, and they are pressured to work fast. Sometimes other nurses start beginning to create problems between each other by saying that they are not moving fast enough or that they are lazy.
Nurse Ratched is an ex army nurse who wants things her way and if they aren’t she will do whatever she can to get them to, her power is challenged by McMurphy when he arrives on the ward; she is used to dealing with and controlling very insecure and submissive men and isn’t used to someone of McMurphy’s character. It is amusing to see the banter fly back and forth between her and Mack, watching as he attempts to overthrow her regime and make her loose control, he achieves this on several occasions but sadly in the end her power overcomes his own; It is surmise able that she herself looses in the end due to the fact that most of her patients decide to leave, Chief Broom escapes and Billy Bibbit kills himself due to her directly threatening him to such a point that he takes his own life. Mrs Bibbit may well deserve to be in an institution similar to her son and it is perfectly obvious to many if not all that there is nothing wrong with Billy himself other than a perfectly acceptable stutter. His mother belittles him to such an extent that his mind does not work in the same way as an adult. Chief remembers seeing him in the past with his head laid in her lap in much the same way as an infant or
You look around and see the woman responsible for this happening and see a badge that says “RN”, a nurse just performed that lifesaving procedure. The television show Grey’s Anatomy, developed by Shonda Rhimes is a primetime medical drama that shows what is behind the scenes of the fictional lives of multiple residents and inters. The show rolls through the evolution off becoming doctors while still sustaining their own personal lives. Despite showing certain truthful things about a hospital, this television show skews the image that people develop about nursing. The image that the media portrays about a nurse’s education is damaging to the profession in many ways.
In a second study, the staff was informed that a pseudopatient would be admitted in their hospital and asked to rate each patient as to the likelihood of them being one. Many patients of the hospitals regular intake were judged to be pseudopatients when none was present, illustrating failure to detect insanity. A psychiatric label colors others’ perceptions of him and behavior. There is an enormous overlap in behaviors of the sane and insane but in the context of a psychiatric hospital, everyday human experiences and behaviors were interpreted as pathological. For example, nursing records showed pseudopatients writing as an aspect of pathological behavior.
The power struggle between McMurphy and Nurse Ratched is the main conflict in the novel because it affects everybody in the hospital also each use their power over the patients and nurse staff in different ways throughout the hospital. This has happened a lot through out history as well. The main purpose of everything that the two do to each other or the people around them is to establish power. However the power they gain or already have can be taken away or ignored easier than it was to establish. McMurphy does not always have power within the hospital; he loses it at some points but gains it back after.
Having a doctor on staff will make it easier for the patients because they will be able to see the doctor whenever it is necessary. The nurses will not be as over worked and the homes will run smoother. Long-term care in this country is extremely important because times have changed, and it now takes both parents to work. This means less people home to take care of the elderly members of the family so there has to be other alternatives and that is where long-term care takes over for people that cannot do it all on their own. The insurance that all people will have in the new healthcare system is the publicly funded healthcare insurance.
When a patient is experiencing the “mania” stage, they are happy overjoyed to the point of being unreal. To know the in between stage from mania and hypomania are very uncommon, and often do not last long. The biggest challenge caregiver’s face is getting the patient to understand what’s going on and applying coping skills, As in Jane’s case, offering a sympathetic ear, offering encouragement, and reassuring her that she is not a burden was effective in her care. As a caregiver, watching Jane experiment with Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) became effective, and she is able to live as close to normal life with bipolar disorder. The cause of bipolar disorder is unknown, some factors seen to be involved in causing and triggering bipolar episodes, biological differences, neurotransmitters, hormones, inherited traits, and environment (Mayo Clinic , n.d.).
