UP.01.02.01- Mark the procedure site. UP.01.03.01- A time-out is performed before the procedure. This summary will evaluate the current compliance status of Nightingale Community Hospital using the Joint Commission compliance standards noted above. Review of the current universal protocol for site identification and verification and the preprocedure hand-off show that most of the Joint Commission standards are being implemented by Nightingale Community Hospital. Using the Communication Universal Protocol Standards outline by the Joint Commission, the areas that are not in compliance are identified in the chart below.
Also if we left the child in this situation it could lead to death of the child and it wouldn’t be right so if there is any sign of abuse then we will investigate in the situation. But if we didn’t follow it up then we would have failed our job and the life of the child. Statistics for children that are now in care because of abuse and neglect "15,670 children started to be looked after in England to be looked after because of abuse and neglect". (See reference page) Another reason could be down to the health of the parent as they may have a long term illness and requires around the clock care. This may cause the child to take care of the parent while at home.
In this paper I will discuss the importance of a framework of praxis, it’s application to the APN, what influences the framework and employing the framework into context. Praxis Overview Praxis has been defined in a number of ways for different disciplines. For the discipline of nursing it has been described as the art of the coming together of science and practice and linking practice and theory (Kilpatrick, 2008). Praxis can arise at an individual or a group level. At the individual level it is recognizing and reflecting on an issue that restricts one’s abilities and experiences, then taking action to change the issue for themselves and others affected (Chinn & Kramer, 2011).
The apparent disregard for religious dietary guidelines/restrictions indicates to the public a cultural insensitivity in general. This impression has led to widespread dissatisfaction and lead possible clients to seek treatment elsewhere. Understanding the whys of the substandard care Mr. J. is receiving, will aid his nurses in making the changes needed to improve that care. Why is Mr. J. in restraints? Why is the staff not exercising or repositioning him more frequently to prevent skin breakdown?
Evidence Based Practice in Adult Nursing The aim of this assignment is to critique a piece of quantitative nursing research, by identifying and commenting on the purpose and relevance of the study, the research design and the methodology employed. Firstly it will illustrate how to locate and retrieve evidence relating to the specific topic. A systematic evaluation of one research paper titled: Randomised Clinical Trial Comparing the Efficacy of Two Bandaging Regimens in the Treatment of Venous Leg Ulcers (Meyers et al, 2002) will be carried out. Initially the meaning of critique will be defined and the importance of research critique to nursing will be briefly described. Elements of a recognised framework by Cormack (2000) will be used as a guideline through the critique process.

This reflective essay will discuss a role play activity within an education setting in which I participated in as the narrator and the Ward manager in the Accident emergency unit. This reflection will be centred on a multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting. The aim of this reflection is to critically reflect on the case scenario activity, as well as to identifying my further learning needs that will provide evidence based care in the further. In order to structure this reflection I have chosen to use Driscoll’s model (driscoll, 2000). Any names that are used will be changed to maintain confidentiality in line with the, Nursing and Midwifery Council code of practise (NMC, 2008).
WINTERBOURNE VIEW The review found that there was a systemic failure to protect people or to investigate allegations of abuse. The provider had failed in its duty to notify the C.Q.C(Quality Care Commission) of serious incidents involving injuries to patients, or occasions when they had gone missing. Inspectors said that staff did not appear to understand the needs of the people in their care, adults with learning disabilities , complex needs and challenging behaviour. Staff who had no background in care services had been recruited, references were not always checked and staff were not trained or supervised properly. Some staff were too ready to use methods of restraint without considering alternatives.
Describe what a social care worker must do if unsafe practice is reported but nothing is done to ensure it is corrected. If a care worker has reported an unsafe practice and find that nothing has been done about it, it is their duty to ask the manager why nothing has been done to correct the situation, if still nothing has been done then you need to seek someone of higher authority such as a regional manager and so on, if nothing has still being done about it, then you can contact the Care Quality Commission, the Safeguarding Team at the local Social Services department or the General Social Care Council. Describe three factors that may make individuals more vulnerable to abuse than others. A work setting in a care home could make individuals more vulnerable to abuse because the staff could be untrained, not enough staff on shift or even the stress/pressure of the job An Individual (circumstance) someone who maybe suffering from dementia or some other form of mental health problems maybe disabled someone who is isolated and more vulnerable than others, also people who depend on others to look after them may not be able to stop someone else from hurting them or taking advantage of them Work environment; individuals who work
A person living with a carer may increase the chances of abuse, the elderly person is reliant on person to care for them and this may cause stress and resentment if the carer is unable to cope and have a poor relationship with the service user. Vulnerable adults in a care home environment are more susceptible due to understaffing or poor staff training. The risk of abuse may increase if a vulnerable person is living or in contact with someone who has a history of violence or sexual abuse, continuing the cycle. An individual who is or feels isolated may be more vulnerable to abuse as they have no support network and have no contact with friends and family. Poor communication between the service user and carer is a factor, he or she may be unable to express their concerns or opinions.
