Description of the problem and proposed change: The goal of the change project is to make congestive heart failure (CHF) patients with transportation problems aware that the hospital offers state funded program (Measure A) that provides free transportation to their clinic appointments. The implementation of this project was a decision made by the family nurse practitioner with full support of the director of nursing and cardiology. The ultimate goal is to decrease the number of no shows to clinic appointments. This plan was broken down into three phases. The first phase was to get all CHF patients approved for free transportation based on their disability and limitations secondary to heart disease.
This decision was reached after the consultant, named nurse, patient and the patient’s family discussed together and based their decision on the patient’s age, condition, quality of life and wishes. The UKCC ‘Code of Professional Conduct’ (1992) states that every registered nurse, midwife, and Health Visitor should act, at all times, in such a manner as to … promote and safeguard the interests and well-being of patients and clients [and to] ensure that no action or omission on your part, or within your sphere of responsibility, is detrimental to the interests, condition or safety of patients and clients. Therefore, how does withholding life-saving treatment, comply with the ‘Code of Professional Conduct’? The decision not to resuscitate conflicts with this clause of a document that aims to define and develop professional standards to protect the public and offer direction regarding the suitable conduct of the profession (Kenworthy et al, 1999). The conflict arises because the decision not to resuscitate could be seen as not promoting the well being of the patient and an omission on the nurse’s part, causing detrimental consequences (Rumbold, 1999).
If there are any concerns that Eileen can help her with, she is more than happy to help. Regardless of the patients financial need or family situation, “Everyone deserves assistance when they need it” (Adams, E 2011). According to Eileen, volunteer work is a must in order to become a social worker. Volunteering gives individuals some of the important skills that they need to deal with some of the complex situations that arise. Some other qualifications that are a must for social workers include at least Bachelors in social services, psychology, or sociology.

The Milgram’s experiment showed that it is very important how the orders are given and by whom. Most people would follow orders given by an official, uniformed experimenter and an ordinary man giving orders would be less of authority. Two experimenters giving contradictory instructions confuse 'the teacher' and make it all even less serious. (199 words) How and why Milgram’s research on obedience is relevant to preparing student nurses for working on hospital wards. When you decide to become a nurse, you think that you will be saving lives, making sick people’s lives easier and heal them.

KOT 1 Task 1 Two strategies that enable a nurse on an interdisciplinary team to exert leadership without occupying a formal leadership position are being a role model and a problem solver. To be a role model you must demonstrate to your peers and coworkers how to do the right thing all the time; to know that making the right decision isn’t always the easiest one to make but it’s the only decision to make. The leaders of the world, musicians and actors are all role models; they are all looked on and modeled after. I want to be a role model in healthcare; I want to be that difference. Problem solvers don’t have to be scientist; they just have to be good at figuring out why things happen certain ways and how you may fix those problems.
