Therefore, if a doctor decidedly breaches the standards expected of him, the patient would no longer have faith in their ability to help. Due to the various causes of depression from emotional trauma to hereditary genes, it is difficult to pin this condition to being prevalent in any one social group. It is also worth noting that there are so many factors that contribute to depression, many of which are biochemical. Biologically induced depression can be treated with medication; however anything to do with human emotion and genetic make-up only inspires further questions.
The people that are insured, still do not seem to be getting the care they need and a lot of them end up in a hospital- no closer to any answers. According to Dr. Jerome Groopman, who holds a chair in medicine at Harvard university, doctors are not being receptive to their patients, which lead to misdiagnoses.
Rheumatoid arthritis sufferers go through the whole spectrum of pains from the acute flare up pain to the chronic continual ache and as a rule Hypnosis probably isn’t the first thing you might think of when diagnosed with something like rheumatoid arthritis. When diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, it can be devastating. It is a lifelong condition and finding out that you have a chronic illness can send your emotions spiralling into anger and depression. For many people, this can mean a lack of sleep, mood swings and loss of appetite. Some people feel afraid of what their future might hold, the medication they might need and the loss of the self-image they had.
RTT1 Task 2 Jake McKee Western Governors University RTT1 Task 2 Root Cause Analysis (RCA) that led to sentinel event Root cause in this scenario appears to be a combination of things. Most significantly, staff did not safely adjust to rapidly increasing demands of their patient acuity and census. The infrastructure did not allow simultaneous monitoring of two patients in crisis. The department is at high risk of inundation, being staffed with only one RN and one LPN, one secretary, and one emergency department physician. Secondly, balance in the monitoring of high-risk patients was inadequate.
The sheer numbers involved results is a random combination of health implications. Most people will not notice anything, or pass any slight symptom off as getting older. Other people who have more of a reaction will go to the doctor and get diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a catch all disease that was created about a decade ago to give doctors something to tell the patient when they complained. The doctors can't accurate diagnose or understand what or why a patient is feeling a certain way, so the corrupt medical establishment gives them this nonsense to spew.
Holding on to somebody that does not want you to and putting the rest of your family in jeopardy is egotistical. Finally the pain hospice patients feel is sometimes unbearable for them. More than likely they are put on narcotics to ease the pain; however sometimes they don’t work or they work to well and they’re in a daze 24/7. That is no way for a person to live their last days on this earth. Not wanting to live that way should be a
They believe that it would be better if nurses only practice under the guidance and supervision of the doctor. They believe that allowing them to practice independently would be detrimental to their patients (Mills, 2009). They would be prone to some misdiagnosis, failure to attend to less obvious, but potentially life-threatening problems as well as prescriptive errors. In fact, they maintained that many deaths in the hospital would be realized due to errors made in prescriptions. According to them, nurses however much trained and experienced lack skills to manage and deal with complex living with multi-system diseases.
Vulnerable populations include the working poor, racial and ethnic minorities, the uninsured, children, the elderly, the homeless, those chronic health conditions, including HIV/AIDS, not to mention severe mental illness. It may also include rural residents, who often encounter barriers to accessing healthcare services. The vulnerability of these individuals is enhanced by race, ethnicity, age, sex, and factors such as income, lack of insurance coverage. Their health and healthcare problems overlap with social factors, including inadequate housing, poverty, and poor education. According to a Department of Justice report, prisoners enter the system and bring with them “infectious diseases from underprivileged home environments that are breeding grounds for HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, and tuberculosis, the three most prevalent communicable diseases in America’s prisons today.” There is a misunderstanding that when a person commits a crime and goes to prison, he or she surrenders all rights.
Vulnerable Populations and Self-Awareness Karen Kennedy NUR 440 January 9, 2012 Dolores Martinez Vulnerable Populations and Self-Awareness When speaking of a vulnerable population, one could think that vulnerable population could be anyone or anything. Patient sub-populations who are at enhanced risk for harm resulting from a disease or condition, or by the effects of a drug, such as people with compromised immune systems (Health Canada, 2011). It also can be thought of as, in the context of an emergency, a person who might need additional assistance because of language barriers, a disability, limited resources or other reason (APHA, 2012). Then it has been said that a group of people with certain characteristics that cause it to be at greater risk of having poor health (Endowment for Health, 2011). Any way that vulnerability is looked upon the bottom line, is that there is a person that is in need of help or assistance.
A good number of them end up in health facilities and nursing homes. Ironically U.S. nursing homes are notoriously associated with stories of neglect and abuse ( DeFrancis, 2002; Pear, 2002, p. 11). It is in these homes of care that they sometimes face the greatest barriers to services they need. These barriers
