Age Specific Case Study Roberto Calderone, is an 82-year-old retired army general. He was with a myocardial infarction. He was monitored and treated with aspirin 325 mg and started on a beta blocker to control his hypertension. Several nurses have commented on him being a “difficult patient” as he is “stubborn and wants to control everything” while he is at the hospital.

Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm GCU Spirituality in Health Care HLT-310v Dr. Meyer December 13, 2014 Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm Hospitals have made many changes over the years in their technologies as well as the way that cares are provided for the patients. Technology has changed the way nurses are charting they cares, procedures are performed via computers, and even surgeries are done by computer, which pushes the healthcare professionals to rely on computers. The technology should help make tasks easier for the healthcare field, but with everyone relying on computers if has also caused a shift in the interactions between staff and the clients. This paper will discuss the elements that are combined to create a “healing hospital,” the connections between healing and spirituality, and the significance to include both in the healthcare facilities. There is a great deal that goes into planning a building, especially if it is a hospital.
While using the five class rules, students learn to show empathy to others by not being disruptive to others or by taking turns. For example, “Rule #2: Raise your hands for permission to speak,” in this rule they can relate by putting themselves in someone else’s shoes. They wouldn’t appreciate someone interrupting them if they were talking. Or “Rule #3: respect your school, others, and yourself,” students learn to be more careful of what they, how they present themselves, and how they approach certain situations. All in all, learning to respect and treat “others just like you would want to be treated.” According to Laurence Steinberg (2011) she would describe this as “mutual role taking- In Selma’s theory, the stage of social perspective taking during which the young adolescent can be an objective third party and can see how the thoughts or actions of one person can affect those of another” (p. 79).

A1) Implications: A nurse who is found guilty of unprofessional conduct in which case actual injury need not be established, the implications are as follows according to Section 464.018(1)(h), F.S. : First offense is a minimum of $250 fine and a maximum of a $500 fine plus probation, a second offense it is a minimum of a $500 fine and a maximum of $750 fine plus probation, for a third offense it is a minimum of a $750 fine plus probation and a
• Communication between colleagues This can be either formal or informal and is between two people who work together e.g. two nurses discussing a patient’s treatment (formal) or two nurses in a staffroom talking about their holiday (informal) • Communication between professional people and people using services - This is where professional people such as doctors and nurses sometimes work within their own dedicated language community.
