Student Number 20050339 REFLECTION 5 Choosing a model that suits the practitioner best reflective practice can make sense of your reflection and support a positive plan of action for next time (Bulman & Shulz 2008). Using Johns (1994) model of reflection, this reflective account will look at my thoughts and feelings following a new birth visit. DESCRIPTION This visit highlighted to me the issues and the delicacy of maternal mental health and how life events can affect the wellbeing of an individual. A close relative of the family I visited had very recently lost their baby shortly after being born. This had obviously been very difficult time and I was aware that the birth of a new baby within the family may have come with mixed emotions.
Panijao’s feet touched her mother’s knees and she slightly lifted them. Panijao also showed the sucking reflex when she was outside with her brother. She started sucking on his belly. There are five states of arousal in newborn that Mari and Panijao demonstrated. While still in the hospital, Mari was in the state of regular sleep when her mother was trying to see her grasping reflex.
Level I nurseries are now uncommon in the United States. Healthy babies typically share a room with their mother, and both patients are usually discharged from the hospital quickly. [4] Level II provides intermediate or special care for premature or ill newborns. At this level, infants may need special therapy provided by nursing staff, or may simply need more time before being discharged. Level III, the Neonatal intensive-care unit (NICU), treats newborns who cannot be treated in the other levels and are in need of high technology to survive.
When a resident is observed to have a condition change, the nurse performs an assessment and makes a decision whether or not to notify the physician and the resident’s family or guardian. The most common symptoms that resulted in the transport of residents to a hospital emergency room were respiratory distress, altered mental status, gastrointestinal symptoms, and falls (Ackermann, Kemle, Vogel & Griffin, 1998). The changes in mental status could
Girl, Interrupted leaves you wondering what exactly Susanna Kaysen makes of her past. Clearly she looks back on it with a sense of surprise, almost wondering whether her memories really belong to her. Her memoir is a series of recollections and reflections on her time in mental hospital. She considers how she got there, and whether she belonged there. Each short chapter focuses on an aspect of her experience, and these are arranged in kind of chronological order, so as to tell her story of the people she met and the treatment she received.
Throughout health and social care, the importance of modeling has been utilized successfully. E.g. in 1983 a study found that children who were undergoing surgery in hospitals found it less stressful if they were told about their surgery via a picture or a film. In public health advertising, celebrities are used to model desirable behaviour e.g. when Cheryl Cole was diagnosed with Malaria and Jessie J suffered from a stroke when she was 18 years old leaving her unable to ever consume alcohol.
Third, the subsample for the study was for parents who adopted children whose ages fell between one and a half years and eighteen years old. They divided the sample into two age groups. The first called the younger group was with children ages one and half to 5. The other was called the older group and contained children ages 6 to 18. Interestingly, the statistics show that gay and lesbian parents do well with older children, but have a high percent adopt children that are between the ages of one and a half and 5.
During his early childhood, Oliver is shown as a love deprived child that is in constant search of his parent’s care and attention. Oliver’s parents are shown to no longer have the capacity to shown love or care and Oliver is the one who is affected by it. In his earliest stage, Oliver is neglected and it leads up to his adolescent years where he is a free running, rambunctious teenager that is not held responsible for his actions and he receives none of the consequences. After Oliver gets past his teenage years he marries Alicia who as “accident-prone”(50) as he is. While is seems to be another mistake, it leads Oliver down the correct path and results in a happy life for both of them.
Lacey Lamendola 9/17/14 My choice of cause and effect is a personal experience my mother went through. At age 7, Gail, was forced to live inpatient at The Walter E Fernald State School. Gail was born in 1950 and suffered from severe seizures, in the 1950’s not much was known about seizure disorders; some people thought it was even a taboo to have a child with seizures. The Walter E. Fernald State School, now the Walter E. Fernald Developmental Center (or known as the Fernald Developmental Center or simply Fernald) The Fernald Center, originally called the Massachusetts School for the Feeble-Minded, was founded by reformer Samuel Gridley Howe in 1848 with a $2,500 appropriation from the Massachusetts State Legislature. Built In 1888, the state school eventually comprised 72 buildings total, at its peak, some 2,500 people were confined there, most of them "feeble-minded" boys.
After bringing Ben back to the house the children started to stay away from the house. Jane was quiet and to herself but went to her friends house after school. Paul did come home but he was often in tears, whined alot and stared for long hours at nothing. He was too thin because of his malnutritioned appatite. He didnt concentrate on important things, he daydreemed and mooned restlesly.The problem with Paul was that he didn’t have a mother at the time when he was growing, which is why he turned out this way.
