A1. Role of Preceptor Anytime that a new nurse is hired into an organization, the new nurse is first paired with an experienced, trained, seasoned nurse, or preceptor, for a certain amount of time. This time frame is called the orientation period. The orientation period is how the preceptor introduces the new nurse to the organization’s policies, procedures, and environment of the particular unit and hospital setting. The preceptor has a job to ensure the new nurse is competent with skills to provided adequate, safe nursing care to patients.
The established patient might have to update his or her information that the facility has on file. When they call for an appointment, they will ask them their name, date of birth, and the reason for the visit. Then when you go to the appointment they will ask for your insurance to make sure is up-to-date. If you have co-pay the patient will have to pay it before they are seen or the patient might be turned away. They will double check to make sure all information is the same or if anything needs to be changed, like your address, phone number, and your insurance provider.

Accreditation Audit Task 1 2-13-2012 Nightingale Community Hospital (NCH) has developed procedures to be compliant with the Joint Commission (JC), and while most Priority Focus areas have been addressed there are some gaps needing attention. Each Priority Focus will be discussed here, detailing successes as well as areas for improvement. Joint Commission Standard: UP.01.01.01 Conduct a preprocedure verification process. NCH does provide a detailed, step-by-step protocol to verify the patient and procedure prior to operation. The protocol spells out exactly when these steps must be followed, such as when the patient is transferred to another caregiver (not solely before surgery).
Also if they are able to become more independent, they are more likely to become more confident, which means they may be able to do more things for themselves, therefore making them more independent, which therefore benefits the individual as they are in a positive atmosphere. Another reason why living at home can benefit an individual is that they may have more time spent with loved ones and are more likely to get visits from friends and family. This is important as it keeps that sense of ‘normality’. If the individual was in a care/residential home, they may not get as many visitors as the family/friends may feel uncomfortable in that environment or the family/ friends may be busy during the visiting hours. Another factor is that the individual is able to maintain a little more control over daily routine, which is important as this leaves the individual feeling cared for and listened to.

Family members will need to ensure Mr. Trosack has adequate supplies for dressing changes and blood glucose monitoring. Mr. Trosack will need transportation from the hospital and to follow up appointments and physical therapy. The family will need to evaluate whether or not the safety issues discussed above have been resolved and may need to collaborate with the occupational therapist to ensure Mr. Trosack can safely move around in his apartment. They will need to provide groceries and take out the trash daily as Mr. Trosack is unable to do so.
The care assistant may also hold the cup or glass for the service user as a precaution against spills or dropping the glass/ cup. This falls into the moving and handling principle. A(iv) As there is a care plan in place for the service user, the nurse on the day trip with the residents should know that service user C is a type two diabetic and should have the necessary tablets and medication that this service user needs. If the nurse did not read the care plan for this person and this scenario were to happen, this could prove to be dangerous and stressful. By following the care plan the nurse was able to know that she needed a sugary drink with her and that the service user had taken her tablets before the trip began.
The program would use case managers and a database tracking system to enhance patient access to regular healthcare services, connect patients to regular healthcare services and help combat logistical interference in getting the right care. Solution: Identification of potential clients: If the patient indicates a basic need (for food, shelter, etc.) during a visit to the emergency department the attending nurse or physician can initiate a referral to the case management program by giving the patient information about the program and placing an order in the chart. The case managers and program director receive weekly reports of these
