Only 17 meet the criteria, and one more was excluded due to a quality appraisal. Therefore 16 studies were accepted for the systematic review. Key Elements Stress in the nursing profession is clearly a problem and contributes to many areas which need improvement in nursing. Galbraith & Brown clearly stated the need for future studies and the lack of studies in this area (2011), as they reviewed many research studies from multiple discipline areas related to stress management and interventions in nurses and students. According to Galbraith and Brown there are several areas of stress in a nurses or students life which may lead to sickness, absence and attrition (2011).
Caring for clients where a crisis has occurred, such as a personal loss, mental illness, substance abuse issue, or family diamante issues.

Ineffective Health Maintenance related to lack of family/social support and presence of limited resources and access to health care (transportation, finances, internet, health insurance coverage, and education) is noted. One nursing intervention is assess client’s values, feelings, economic issues, culture, and practices to determine compliance and readiness for following a prescribed health care regimen. Another nursing intervention is making a referral to social services, support group, or community service for assisting the client in obtaining the necessary medical care needed. This will include government provided transportation for assisting the client to meet the required follow-up appointments. Ineffective Community Coping related to presence of socially deviant, high risk behaviors (such as prostitution and illegal drug activity) and lack of cooperation in a community.
The Case of Carmen BSHS/335 July 20, 2014 Abstract There are many different situations that will arise when working in the health care field that will cause one to question whether or not the decision they must make will cross an ethical, moral, or legal guideline.

In this case we have a client that is in need of immunization record and does not have the time to sign for the release of these record. She also has no time to pick them up so she has requested these records sent to her via fax. HIPAA require a signature to release these records.
The Use of Blooms Taxonomy for Patient Education in the Emergency Department NUR/427 Dorothy Chubbuck September 11, 2011 Heather Flores The Use of Blooms Taxonomy for Patient Education in the Emergency Department Patient education is a key component for the management of many acute and chronic conditions. Presentation to the emergency room for non-urgent care may be some patient’s only point of contact with the healthcare system due to poor access to primary care related to lack of insurance, knowledge deficits and cultural beliefs. (Partridge, 1997). A review of multiple studies revealed that the emergency room may be an underutilized avenue for patient teaching. (Szpiro 2008) The review utilized Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning Domains as a framework.
Analysis of a critical incident. This is a reflection of a critical incident that created professional, legal and ethical dilemma’s for me as a registered nurse working to support clients in a rehabilitation unit. The issues that are central to this critical incident are time constraints, resources and, to some degree, a lack of communication and awareness between professionals and untrained members of the team... It has profound implications for all those it concerned and it is of relevance to all professionals working within multidisciplinary teams. Through this critical incident, I will explore the issues raised from a professional, legal and ethical perspective.
Vulnerable Populations and Rape Victims Jenifer Shanahan NUR/440 October 6, 2013 Heather Collins, RN, MSN, CEN, CSN Vulnerable Populations in Current Events Paper The measurement of any behavior or experience hinges on its definition. Defining a vulnerable population is complicated because it is not as black and white as it may seem. Much of defining vulnerable people or populations is based on the experiences of the definer. “Vulnerable populations include the economically disadvantaged, racial and ethnic minorities, the uninsured, low-income children, the elderly, the homeless, those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and those with other chronic health conditions, including severe mental illness. It may also include rural residents, who often encounter barriers to accessing healthcare services.
Most of the time, they do not come to the health center until their illness is extremely painful and/or life threatening. It is not because they do not care about their health, but fearful of the consequences of being in this country without proper paperwork. As a government funded health center, we do not report to immigration, and we welcome anyone with or without citizenship or insurance. I have taken care of many elderly patients with co-morbidities.
Vulnerable Population in Current Even NURsing Vulnerable Population in Current Events Vulnerability is a general concept meaning “susceptibility,” and its specific connotation in terms of health care is “at risk for health problems.” According to Aday (2001). Vulnerable populations are those at risk for poor physical, psychological, or social health. Anyone can be vulnerable at any given point in time as a result of life circumstances or response to illness or events. However, the notion of a vulnerable population is a public health concept that refers to vulnerability by virtue of status; that is, some groups are at risk at any given point in time relative to other individuals or groups. According to a study by the U.S. Department of housing and Urban Development (HUD), there were 671,888 homeless people in the United States as of January 2007, including sheltered and unsheltered population.
