There have been so many changes in the area of “caregiving”. Progressing from an uneducated idea that mental illness was a criminal act and that segregation from society, into asylums, the only care they deserved, to years later, where society became more advanced and there was a move away from seclusion and a shift towards reintegration. However, during this period those with disability, mental illness and in most cases just old age were still treated poorly by the government. Care was primitive and such people were seen as “patients” implying a disposition of disease or being unwell and therefore in the need of medical treatment. They were mainly looked after in hospitals and were regarded as second class citizens who were deemed not to have the same rights as those “able bodied” and those of “sound mind”.
He suffers from hallucinations and severe delusions that clog his worldview. He fears most of all a thing he refers to as “the Combine,” a corporation type thing that controls everything in society and forces people to conform to the certain society norm. He pretends to be deaf and dumb, almost to make himself appear invisible, which was difficult being that he was 6’7’’. The hospital is run by a woman by the name of Nurse Ratched, the novel’s antagonist, who Chief refers to as “the Big Nurse.” She is a former army nurse and runs her ward with an iron fist.
The head nurse, Nurse Ratchet, is the main antagonist and the person most interested in attaining power. Nurse Ratchet is an evil lady who enjoys inflicting mental anguish among the patients in the institution; this pain is almost portrayed as a way to make herself feel better, feel superior.

Randle McMurphy is the patient at the Oregon institution that most rebels against Nurse Ratchet who in turn always tries to keep him in line as much as she can.
It is important to analyze the different dynamics to these potential problems. Within this analyzes, I would look at the opportunities and constraints of entering data into the system. Are the constraints that the hospital staff have due to the with number of patients being seen and the time to enter the data? Analyzing the fact that there is an opportunity cost situation where possible hospital staff have a certain amount of time with each patient, and now that there has been even more work to be completed for this patient they get caught entering data and not spending the time needed with the patient. Hospital staff may not understand what opportunities that the data could bring to the hospital staff and patients?
Who the assessment is for This assessment can be used for a variety of different client groups but would be particularly useful for clients that have been in hospital for an extended period of time for example people that have been in a mental health facility. It is known that when people are in hospital for a significant period they can become deskilled, this is due to the fact that they are not practicing their activities of daily living and are perhaps used to relying on others. Patients can quickly lose or become less efficient at basic skills such as cooking, shopping, personal care and social skills this is an affect of them becoming institutionalised which becomes a big problem when a patient is deemed well enough to be discharged from hospital.

Dementia can affect adults of all ages and can often be confused with delirium. Delirium is a temporary decline in function of the brain that can be restored when the underlying cause is treated. Dementia is a progressive, non-curable process that is detrimental to both the person suffering from the disease but also the care takers. It is important as a nurse to be familiar with dementia and also to be educated on the different treatments used as many of these patients end up not only in nursing homes but also in the emergency department and medical-surgical floors of local hospitals.
