Relationship between her family- Kathy may need support and want to reconnect with her family. These problems would need to be discussed with Kathy and we would need to prioritise them firstly starting with the safety of her baby and receiving antenatal care then dealing with receiving treatment for withdrawals that she may be experiencing. Kathy would need referrals to other service that may best serve her. All of Kathy’s problems need to be addressed in order of importance and how she feels most comfortable with. I would discuss with her that she needs assistance and suggest ideas on which services she has available to her if she wishes, however she will need to draw her own motivation and create goals that are achievable for her.
The Thomas's Case Western Governors University The Thomas's Case My experiences over the years as a registered nurse, a certified nurse’s aide, and a member in society in general, has enabled me to have many encounters with chronically and terminally ill clients. My personal experiences have lead me to my own personal beliefs on these issues. I believe that the chronically ill and terminally ill should be able to make their own decisions on how they live, are cared for, and die. I have seen so many people that have not made their own decisions prior to losing their ability to do so. In many of these situations I have seen the patients suffering in pain, starvation, and lack of care, yet the family members want more time, and make
Use and develop systems that promote communication UNIT 1 Use and develop systems that promote communication UNIT 1 OUTCOME 1 1.1 - As a Care Coordinator I have a responsibility to my residents, to accommodate, and provide support for all residents, and their individual communication needs. By performing assessments with individual residents, I am able to understand the problems they have with communication, and actions and aids I can supply, to enable them to communicate effectively. In assessing communication needs, I need to consider each individual, and cater for the individual’s needs. I need to consider ‘groups’ of individuals, for instance males/females, foreign speaking users, deaf/Blind users etc. The actions and aids I supply for communication needs should benefit not just the individual, but the group of service users as a whole, and encourage interaction, inclusion, and social contacts.
If they are capable they will be able to tell you how they would prefer to be treated, and what their personal needs are. If they are unable to communicate with you, you could talk to their family; they could provide information about the history and preferences of the client. Another way that would also be useful is to talk to social workers, doctors or any other professional involved in the client’s care, as they will be able to give you information on any medical conditions and needs that you need to be aware of. Bii) Describe two ways of making sure that the history, preferences, wishes and needs of an individual using the service are recognised in support or care plans. Support people with the same respect you would want for yourself or a member of your family.
Therapy will help Amy to develop new perspectives and life skills so that she can free herself from habitual patterns of anxiety, depression, and self-criticism. It will also help her to reclaim her sense of personal power and learn to take responsibility and move forward in her life rather than feeling stuck, helpless and hopeless. Therapy will help her to feel better about herself, feel more at peace; it will reduce stress last but not least help her to work through problems with a skilled and compassionate professional. ( Benefits of Individual Therapy 2012) Every individual is, in part, a product of the environment they grew up in. Family plays an important role in our emotional, physical and spiritual development since each individual in the family system impacts and is impacted by the others.
Each case seems to vary with which services are available for utilization and which services either program covers. There will need to be a lot of planning for support groups, needle exchange programs and other services that will support this community.

The integration of these factors will be essential in order for this program to be successful. If there was more data about what the success rates for the people who have attended some of

Personal Perceptions Caring for terminally ill patients can be a daunting task for all involved, whether it is for the patient, friends or family, or the nurse or other clinicians. It is important to analyze one’s own feelings about disease, its progression, and death when caring for others because a patient’s quality of life and functioning can potentially be affected by the nurse’s personal attitudes. Exhibiting judgments can cause discomfort, feelings of helplessness and/or sadness, which can impede quality of life for patients. The role of the nurse is to help the patient as he or she progresses through the stages of illness, acting as a patient advocate, meanwhile providing additional support for the patient and his or her loved ones. The role of the nurse is to attempt to alleviate discomfort, restore health, and to not cause any additional undue harm.
To be effective, health care needs to take account of the service user perspective. Regarding the social care services that are available and referring back to the Ann Walker case, they had to undergo a community care assessment when they asked for help. To help both the carer and the cared for, a package was put into place where they would receive a certain amount of help around the home which relieved the burden placed on Ann. To refer to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, this package would allow Ann some respite care and therefore meet some of her higher-order needs. To help Angus make the most of his life and to make things easier for him, the package also meant they received aids and adaptions in their home, for example rails in the bathroom and a stairlift.
