This would be beneficial to CVS and the insurance companies as customers and pharmacists or tech personnel need not bother the insurance companies to check if their customers are covered for certain kinds of medications. If this isn’t a viable option then CVS can request patients to give them details of their formularies once they encounter an initial problem. Customer privilege program (for heavy users): recurring customers/ customers who require the same kind of medication should be given the option to enroll into a Customer Privilege program which lets them utilize special lanes for quick service without waiting in line and privileges at the Digital Kiosks (explanation provided below). Patients will be asked to fill out a form to enroll in the privileges
They selected their patients and had strict screening criterions. They treated people with only external type abdominal hernias and those who were otherwise healthy (not overweight etc). The early ambulation was utilized in a great way in hospital’s operations. Because of early ambulation, patients were not only customers but they had found a way to utilize them in the postoperative state as counsellors to other incoming patients. Patients were self-sufficient and did not require much care from the nursing staff.
Health Professional Support for Terminally Ill Patients Author Note To understand the role of a healthcare professional, when working with terminally ill patients and their families. Health Professional Support for Terminally Ill Patients There are five basic stages of grief, each stage individual to the person experiencing it. Each stage is a normal, healthy coping process that allows the person to function through daily life as they begin to heal and move past their loss. Some people are unable to cope or move past as others, requiring professional assistance to identify and help them deal with their grief. Denial Denial is usually the first of the five stages, everyone deals with loss differently but the basic processing of the stages remain the same.
Klass discovered the ways of speaking different language at the hospital. The point of this language is so the doctors can have a conversation concerning the patient without them being aware of what is being said about them medically. Klass is satisfied in knowing a dissimilar communication with her coworkers for the sake of the patients. “There are many specific expressions manage to avoid, but even as I remark them, promising myself I will never use them, I find that this language is becoming my professional speech” (Klass 489). She is proud of what has learned and is proud of what she is becoming.
Rights of Medication Safety Medication plays a key role in healthcare but can also be an important key cause of medical error. Patients are entitled to receive safe care including receiving the correct medications. The administration of medication is a daily routine for nurses therefore, it is vital to remember the “Five Rights” of medication safety. Many different things can go wrong when it comes to the administering medication, for example communication between the patient and the nurse could go wrong, or the labeling of the medication, even the dosage can cause improper usage of the drug. The question is what role do nurses play when it comes to medication safety?
Through this experience, she witnessed firsthand how this disease cripples one physically and mentally. She could draw on this experience and utilize some of this knowledge in her therapy sessions with Andy. She could also use her knowledge about the medical aspects of AIDS to monitor Andy’s progress and help him to eliminate stressors that will make his condition worse. This learner would not have any concerns about this client or her ability to work with him effectively. According to Corey, Corey and Callanan (2011), negative personal reactions, limited empathy and lack of understanding are common characteristics in therapists who work with LGB clients (p.133).
Sometimes surgery is recommended if medications fail to reduce the eye pressure. The first surgical option generally attempted is called trabeculoplasty. Its goal is the allow fluids to flow more easily out of the eye, thus lowering the pressure. A successful trabeculoplasty is effective for 3-5 years. The laser procedure is painless and generally takes under half an hour.
Patients with altered mental states and infants and young children cannot be approached with this theory (Senn, 2012, p. 32). Implementation of Peplau's theory of interpersonal relations is simple and can be easily applied into practice, but requires the nurse to control their behavior, while letting the patient make their own decisions (Graham, 2006, p. 30). This can be especially difficult in situations, such as long term care, where nurses become too involved with the patient and can make poor judgments and decisions (Graham, 2006, p. 30). Peplau’s Theory of Interpersonal Relations Hildegard Peplau was one of the first nursing theorists to recognize how important the work of a nurse was, rather then trying to define and delineate nursing. She firmly believed that nursing should be based on an interpersonal process and the nurse-patient
Boundaries with Mental Health Clients After reading the article about boundaries with mental health clients, I had more of an understanding about what boundaries could easily be crossed. Not only did the article talk about physical boundaries, but emotional boundaries as well. It would be very easy for a nurse who worked in a mental health environment to cross emotional boundaries. A nurse, who does not have their emotional needs met, could easily make a therapy session about meeting themselves, as opposed to the client. For instance, therapy with a client may be about an abusive spouse.
In my nursing class, I learned that doctors cure the sickness and nurses cure the patient. This means that the nurse attends to the physical, mental, and psychosocial aspects in the care of patients. Some days can be demanding on the mind and body, but you can still go home and be grateful of what you have done for someone else. I believe that the core of nursing is love and passion for others. Without this love and passion, why is one in nursing.
