Treatment plan “Approximately 28%–58% of individuals with heart failure (HF) suffer from cognitive impairment, commonly identified as difficulty with concentration and/or memory” (Bauer, Johnson, & Pozehl, 2011 p. 577). Mr. P needs a treatment plan that he will be able to adhere, considering his cognitive decline. His wife should be included in his treatment plan and will have to become a leader from now on. When Mr. P admitted to the emergency department, nurses provide basic care in order to sustain life. Nurses should be recording vital signs, order appropriate laboratory work ups, put Mr. P on oxygen via cannula, put him on I&O, administer prescribed medications, and strict daily weights.

He was diagnosed with hypertension and non-insulin-dependent diabetes and will need to further education. Mr. Trosack will need to know how to manage hypertension and diabetes through medication, diet, and exercise.
The Hyacinth Berry case study will be used throughout to identify and discuss the interconnections of values, ethics and legislation. The General Social Care (GSCC) and BASW offer the social work profession its value base. The message from reading their requirements is that values are a fundamental part of a competent social worker. There is also a clear need for both students and qualified workers to ‘identify and question their own values and prejudices and their implications for practice.’ The need for social workers to have respect for persons and their right to self determination still remains the key to practice. Complexities of the social work task relate partly to the worker having to negotiate the tension between these values and the dilemmas that decision making brings.
English IV Ms. Duncan May 20, 2013 “Civil Peace” short story questions 1. The moral lesson promoted by Chinua Achebe in the short story “Civil Peace” is that working hard is something that needs to be done to succeed in times of doubt. Jonathan lost almost everything during the Civil War in his country, including the loss of one of his children. Although he had lost his belongings and a child he still looked at the situation as having “five inestimable blessings”. He made it out of the civil war with three out of his four children, his wife and the bike that he had buried, in hope that he would be able to find it.
The term value has multiple meanings dependent upon the context applied. Various notions are applied to the word, for example, ‘intrinsic worth or goodness’; something that represents usefulness;’ reference to light or shade’; financial rate of value; as well as, ‘moral principles or standards’ (Chambers Dictionary, 1998). In relation to personal values a broad definition is: ‘A person’s principles or standards of behaviour: one’s judgement about what is important in life (New Oxford Dictionary of English, Revised Edition, 2001, cited in Beckett & Maynard, 2006, p6). Good. Things that are important to an individual are determined by their internal fundamental beliefs and principles that establish their code of morality, which is formed by socialisation as well as cultural and personal life experiences.
This ethical code of practice is produced by the British Psychological Society (BPS )for short. Researchers have a moral responsibility to protect participants in a study from any harm, embarrassment or guilt. The ethical code also protects the researcher. In all cases of research the researcher should take into consideration the ethical implications and psychological consequences for the participants this should take into account ethnic, cultural, social, age and sex differences. (Birch, 1998) 2) Summarise the BPS guidelines for use in Human Research.
At this point in time I am seeing a family that is consumed by the care and supervision of their mentally disabled son/brother, leaving very little time for self-care or nurturing healthy relationships. My plan is to focus my attention on Arnie Grape; his disabilities and need for constant supervision. My first course of action for Arnie is to have him thoroughly evaluated, both physically and mentally and also get input from the family as far as what they would like to see accomplished for Arnie and by Arnie. I am going to ensure that he is provided with physical and occupational therapy to improve his activities of daily living skills as well as gain some independence in his care. I am also going to make sure that an IEP or Individualized Education Plan is implemented and an appropriate educational setting is chosen.
Values This assignment will discuss personal values and how we acquire them. I will discuss Professional values and the importance of a value base for social work. Over many years, numerous lists of professional values have been created; the history of these lists will be examined together with the codes of practice and anti discriminatory practice in relation with the treatment of Sylvia who has Huntington’s disease. We are all born as entirely reliant infants, but through close proximity with our primary educators (mainly our parents), we are taught how to exist in our culture and acquire our personal values, which are inherited and passed down from generation to generation. Primary socialisation is during the early years of our life and is the most important developmental stage a human being can go through.
Planning for the future of the disabled is an exhausting necessity. There are numerous agencies to help ease the stress of estate planning for the disabled. Disabled Child, Aging Parents, Uncertain Future “Your child is disabled,” is a sentence foreign to many. But for those whom have experienced a doctor’s diagnosis in which their child’s name and disability are in the same sentence, life changes. A parent’s role is to take care of their children until they are old enough to take care of themselves.
