A patient’s Care Recommendations should provide information that is relevant to a patient’s treatment in an ED setting, including care considerations, care coordination details, pain management information, suggested ED-based interventions, and any other information that is appropriate and applicable to the setting. The information included in a patient’s Care Recommendations should be relevant to any ED a patient registers at. Some patients may visit a number of EDs and their Care Recommendations

The pungent odor filled the room, her gauge had not been changed in about a week. This nursing home patient was suffering from a cutaneous complication due to poor management of her diabetes. Omar Staples, PA-C removed the bandages and the once fluid filled lesions had burst open and the contents were permeating both the gause and the front part of her leg. “Do you know what this is Ebony?” the first thing that came to my mind was ‘painful’ I felt a deep sense of empathy for this patient that I

This assignment will cover the issues influencing nursing practice. Adult and child are the two fields of nursing which will be discussed and compared, whilst consent will be the main issue covered throughout, it is an important issue because every individual is different, by gaining consent the individual patient’s best interests will be put first.

Healthcare Industry Shauna Sorensen January 17, 2016 Internship Activity The software program that I suggest that we get is called MediTouch Practice management.

One situation that was directly related to the content that was discussed in one of my classes was when my nurse assessed my patient. Even though she did a head to toe assessment, she did not percuss anywhere on the body. In assessment class, we learned to follow IPPA (inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation). However, in clinical this week, along with the entire clinical rotation, I have never watched a nurse percuss anywhere on the body during their assessments. I think this difference

This week in Telemetry I mainly got to observe a patient on the first day and talk to a telemetry nurse the second day. On the first day I was assigned to a nurse named Missy. She was not very busy at the time so I got to observe a man on dialysis. The dialysis nurse's name was Chris, and he told me all about what dialysis is.

I have often heard people say that older adults with dementia can be very hard to deal with. This could possibly be because these adults seem to not listen to others and they often act out in violent ways. I had to ask myself, “Am I one of those people that think that these adults are hard to deal with?”.

Professional behavior is defined as the way a person acts towards others in a professional setting. As a nurse this could be mean the way you respond or act towards patients, supervisors, and co-workers. The way nurse’s respond is important because it can affect the patient and others around them. Nurse’s are held to a higher standard when it comes to being trustworthy and professional. They are expected to hold values of Beneficence, nonmaleficence, and autonomy. Black mentioned the definition of

Family Homes versus Residential Centres A family home means the house where a married couple lives together as a unit. In most cases, it means the home of a couple and their children and even some extended family members. On the other hand, a rehabilitation centre, normally, offers services to addicts, people with physical disabilities, pervasive development disorder patients and intellectual disability victims (Drug Abuse and Treatment Rehabilitation, 16). A rehabilitation centre can offer both
