In health promotion, it’s the duty of a nurse to be culturally competent, in order to make the best decision to provide quality patient’s care, even though the nurses’ cultural belief might be different. Heritage assessment will aid the nurse to identify and understand a patient’s cultural back ground and how it influences the patient’s health. In this paper, Hispanic, Philippines and African cultures were assessed. Starting with the writer, the writer is from Nigeria in West Africa, she hails from the eastern part of Nigeria of the Igbo tribe and speaks Igbo language. The writer comes from a
3. Do you share any of Watson's views, perspectives or ideas? I strongly share Watson's ideas that nursing must preserve its heritage of caring. In today's world when everything is mechanical and we see healthcare issues of budget cuts, increase workload and staffing shortage (but ironically an increase in nurses unemployed in their line of profession), it is so easy for healthcare professionals to be there and just do the job, to finish as scheduled but where indifference and insensitivity now pervade the healthcare practice. Jean Watson emphasizes that nurses must be "present, conscious, and
Healthcare settings need to develop a clear written workplace policy stating that harassment and discrimination are not tolerated and establish a process for hearing complaints while maintaining confidentially by appointing an appropriate ‘Contact Officer’ to deal with complaints. If we are going to work harmoniously with people from diverse backgrounds, we need to be tolerant and respectful about values, beliefs and religious practices, which may be very different from our own. The more we learn about other cultures, the more we can put ourselves in other people’s shoes and respect their position. When you and a co-worker do not agree, try looking at things from their perspective. (DOE&T
They also differ greatly in their idea of nursing. Rogers says nurses should be creative thinkers looking only to the future and should not become fixed in the present (Parker, 2005). However, Roy thinks nursing should help in the adaptation of the individual or in the environment (Parker, 2005). Nursing
Nurses intermingle with people from diverse branch of the world with a mixture of civilizing practices, so cultural alertness seems essential in creating a patient-nurse relationship during the interview phase of the health assessment, initial step of the nursing process. Every culture perceives wellbeing and sickness differently; as a result, cultural traditions have power over nurses’ decision making process which represents a baseline to begin action for healing and provides high quality of care that nurses have to give. “Cultural ability means the aptitude of nurses to value and admit the cultural backgrounds of persons and give care that best meets the persons’ requests—not the nurses’ requests” (Edelman & Mandle, 2010, p.
Ethics committees can be useful in this situation, because they can help explain the patient’s situation and provide possible answers to those hard questions. The nurse who neglected care towards the patients, in my opinion, should lose their job. Nurses who neglect care are putting their patients at danger. According to the Code of Nursing Ethics, “The nurse owes the same duties to self as to others, including the responsibility to preserve integrity and safety, to maintain competence, and to continue personal and professional growth” (ANA Code of Nursing Ethics). This nurse neglected the patient, therefore, neglected the responsibility in preserving the safety and integrity of the patient.
A series of education training of documentation was implemented to help reduce episodes of Medicare payment denials and self-protection through adequate documentation. Thus, I will discuss the impact of inadequate nursing documentation that leads to malpractice lawsuits. Purpose of Medical Record Documentation Understanding the purpose of medical documentation was the first step in teaching how to prevent inadequate documentations that leads to liability and malpractice lawsuits. Monarch (2007) supports the purpose of Medical Record Documentation as the following: • Substantiating the health condition or illness or presented concern for the patient. • Effective communication among health care staff.
Unlike the nurses found in the medical romance youthfulness, purity and naivety, delicate, skilful and capable women (De Vries, 1995). The media unfortunately influences our ideas about health care and actually creates values and opinions about professionals through television shows and dramas (Summers and Summers 2010). My views of social workers before coming to the United Kingdom gave me impression that all social workers do is sit around in an office doing paperwork or that they go out and take the children away from their family. The view of social workers in the United Kingdom, was highlighted in a recent survey of social workers (Community Care 2009), is that the media treats social work and social workers unfairly, focusing on what are considered to be disappointments or injustices acts made by social workers and just reporting bad news. I have faced many stereotypes before enrolling onto adult nursing programme and unfortunately some of them they have not been so good.
