This had obviously been very difficult time and I was aware that the birth of a new baby within the family may have come with mixed emotions. SCENARIO Prior to the visit I had received a telephone handover from the new Mother’s midwife, who had explained this had been an uneventful pregnancy and straight forward delivery. However her sister had very recently given birth, which had tragically resulted in the baby dying shortly afterwards. The midwife explained this had created anxieties about her new baby and that whilst she appeared to doing okay it was something to be mindful of. This highlights again the importance of collaborative working and effective handovers ( ).
Henrietta died when Deborah was two years old. Deborah didn’t know anything about the HeLa cells until she got older. When she found out about her mother’s cells, it is obvious that struggling to understand both what was done to her mother and the extent of her mother’s suffering as a result. When Deborah first learned that living HeLa cells were used in research, she wondered how her mother had died but still had living cells. Also, she wondered if it hurt her mother when people experimented on the

In 1996 a pregnant woman, Darlene Brown, was admitted to Ingalls Memorial Hospital by her caring physician, Dr. Walsh. Brown had consented to have a cystoscopy and have a urethral mass removed. Brown had also been informed that she would lose blood during the operation, but had not discussed with her Doctor that she was a Jehovah's Witness and that blood transfusions are not part of her belief system. During the operation she lost more blood than anticipated and as result her blood hemoglobin level dropped below normal levels. Her low hemoglobin level put her and her unborn baby at high risk of death.
Maria Worrall aged 78years had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and had suffered several falls; she had ended up bed bound and admitted to hospital. Whilst at hospital it was agreed that Maria would need to go into a nursing home as she was no longer able to do anything for herself and needed to be cared for. Jane Worrall cared for her mother for a little while she would do all the dressing, bathing and cooking.

The parent of the child should always be present should anything happen and the parent needs to be contacted. The parent must take some of the blame in not calling the hospital once she was told the procedure would be only 45 minutes. She was gone for 2 ½ hours before she returned back to the hospital. The Doctor-Dr. Munoz stated that he has all the pertinent patient information but did not make sure that his office had communicated this information to the hospital admissions staff The Pre-OP Nurse-Ms. Doppke failed to properly document the mother’s cell phone number in the patient’s medical chart. Therefore, during the post-op care, the mother could have been reached and notified the procedure was finished.
The Nurse’s Dilemma: Being Asked Not To Tell The Nurse’s Dilemma: Being Asked Not To Tell Nurses face ethical dilemmas on a regular basis. As nurses work to provide health care services, we often are asked to participate in ethically questionable activities (Potter, Perry, Stockert, & Hall, 2012). Today, a patient who was newly diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer with metastasis to her bones was admitted to the hospice unit. Her daughter is her primary caregiver and has asked me to deceive her mother by “turning over” my badge and telling her mother that I am from a home health agency. She specifically requested that I “do not say hospice” because she believes that her mother doesn’t know she has been admitted to the hospice unit.
Some homeless people are staying in residential institutions but they do not get much sleep when they must share space with ten to twenty others. Homeless people would be more than happy away from the street. It is easy for us to think that a homeless should take himself in the neck and do something about things. However, the homeless life itself is so stressful that strength and confidence fades away. Many lose courage.
Any woman that has a baby is expected to take maternity leave from work after they deliver. Woman has to stay a few days in the hospital then usually six weeks at home once they leave the hospital. During this time, it gives the woman time to recover or heal from delivery of her newborn baby. Even though women need time to heal from giving birth, men who care for their children should be able to obtain paternity leave as well. Men have just as much right; they need to spend quality time bonding with and caring for their family.
