The nurse is avoiding asking Brigite about the readings of the vision tests (Hansten, & Jackson, 2009). By re-administering the test, the nurse is lowering her self-esteem, and self-confidence. She will harbor bad feelings and thoughts about the incidence, which can lead to emotional dishonesty to communication with Brigite. Passive behavior is the avoidance of responsibility and loses’ the opportunity to develop skills in managing conflicts and resolving negative issues. The issue of whether the vision tests were accurate will not be solved.
It is essential that patients know you care and want to help them. This is shown by making good use of the time spent with them, your tone, speed and volume of voice and listening carefully. Patients may divulge more information to nurses they trust due to the rapport that has been built, therefore it is vital to attempt to create as much of a close professional relationship as possible despite any barriers that may be in place. This essay will analyse part of the BBC TV programme “Someone To Watch Over Me” (2004) and how Jo, a social worker promotes health through communicating with Adam and Kim, the parents of Kim’s fourth child after her first three have previously been taken into care. 1a.
Using a laminated card and by displaying the Whooley questions discreetly I have implemented them at each clinic I have undertaken since. It is essential that the HV is both confident and competent in the delivery of the questions and committed to exploring any concerning outcomes fully. It has been suggested that many new mothers will not disclose feelings of low mood due to the perceptions a health professional may have if she does. Edhborg (2005) suggested women who are depressed after giving birth often struggle with tremendous guilt over their depression and believe that it means they are a bad mother, this inhibits their likelihood to disclose feelings of low mood to a practitioner. I have seen mothers react after presentation of the Whooley questions, with a sheepish “No” on occasion.
b. Illustrates the difference through graphic displays • When prenatal care is administered a. The point in a woman’s pregnancy when she received prenatal care is critical to the health of the baby. b. All care is beneficial compared to no care, which results in complications.
The dentist could have been more considerate and explain to the student that the whitening process can only be done certain times and cannot be done when it is important for her. Explanation of the water pick can help the patient understand that it will help her and she can improve her hygiene one her own instead of keep returning. Scenario 3—Physical Therapy o What patient compliance issues are evident in this scenario? The patient should listen to the doctor to help lower the triglycerides in his blood stream and this process will help lower his cholesterol. The patient listening to the doctor’s Advice about the special diet and to avoid red meat is very advisable for this process.
Another similar case is MM, this lady has no verbal communication, although she can understand what is spoken to her, but does have limited Makaton knowledge. Again I have to give the lady plenty of time to think about what signs she needs to use to tell me her wants and needs in order that she does not feel ‘down’ in her day to day living. EM uses a hearing aid but has great difficulty in putting it in. So on arrival I will give her assistance in using it if she is having a particularly bad day I will put it in. If their communication needs are unmet then they will not feel included or be able to interact therefore making them feel outside of society, and from there they would feel undervalued and may become depressed.
I fear that because of her lack of a healthy social lifestyle, that if she should lose someone from her family system, that it may be traumatic for her and very difficult for her to recover, maybe impossible. There isn’t enough information in the case to determine the cause of Andrea mental health illnesses, but from the information given by Andrea mother and son, Andrea seems to be this loving, caring young women. Andrea medications alone may also be an issue. Andrea should have therapy along with the medications, not just the medications alone is enough for her mental health issues. By using Freud’s and Adler theory of psychodynamics, systems theory and attachment theory, I was able to assess and analyze Andrea social environment, which seems to be a huge factor and hindrance to Andrea growth and
The goal is to keep her pain under control if not completely relieved. Other medications (stool softeners) may be added to her drug regiment to counter act some of the side effects of Vicodin. Controlling pain will enable her to remain mobile for as long as possible, therefore promoting independence. Social isolation secondary to lack of personal involvement of sons, friends and few female family members is another concern. The nurse and the patient working in unison will develop a care plan to slowly increase the involvement of others.
Some of these principles used to support my position include: Beneficence which is a form of action intended to benefit or promote the good of another person or the duty to do good (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2010). Nurse Hathaway had the obligation to tell the patients parents about her diagnosis or she would not have been doing the best thing for the patient. The principle of nonmaleficence which is derived from that Latin language and means do no harm is another principle that supports the decision to inform that patients parents (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2010). By not informing the parents the nurse would be doing harm to the patient. The patient is a minor and may not comprehend the severity of her diagnosis.
Should IVF be available on the NHS? One reason for IVF being available on the NHS is that women who desperately want children of their own, wont be able to have them without the expensive IVF treatment. Many women are focused on their carers, and they don’t think about the time when they will be incapable of having a child. This leads to them trying to have children to late and them not being able to. I think that all women should be able to have children of their own, it’s not their fault that they were trying to create a better lifestyle for their ‘wanted child’ and if that means getting IVF treatment, they should be able to have it as an option provided by the NHS.
