A Long Term Care Home

While bereavement is an external process by which one externally or publicly grieves, mourning is the grieving that happens internally. “Stroebe defined bereavement as a state of loss, triggering a reaction that manifests in a set of behaviors known as mourning,” (Buglass, 2010, 44). There are stages that one goes through when grieving, this is how they emotionally heal after their loss.

Loss is a phenomenon that is experienced by all. Death is experienced by family members as a unique and elevated form of loss which is modulated by potent stages of grief. Inevitably, everyone will lose someone with whom they had a personal relationship and emotional connection and thus experience an aftermath that can generally be described as grief. Although bereavement, which is defined as a state of sorrow over the death or departure of a loved one, is a universal experience it varies widely across gender, age, and circumstance (definitions.net, 2015). Indeed the formalities and phases associated with bereavement have been recounted and theorized in literature for years. These philosophies are quite diverse but

Hello Dr. Ullom, majority of the long term care facilities are under staffed. There is usually one registered nurse in charge to manage a 240 bed facility, with LPN's  and nursing assistance. I feel that these patients would benefit from having one RN to every six -eight patients with a nursing assistance. Not only would this benefit the patient but the nurse as well. Patient are placed in long term care facility with a certain problem, but ends up with additional condition such as UTI, MRSA, pressure ulcers, and etc. These issues are related to poor care they receive because of unstaffing. I'm not placing blame on the LPN or nursing assistance, but with a RN and low nurse to patient ratio, they will receive better care.

Long term care facilities use Joint Commission Accreditation as a benefit to show the quality and commitment to the health care organization. A long term care facility that is Joint Commission accredited will have a more appealing look to reimbursement centers and to the patient and families that they care for. Having this accreditation is also a risk management tool. The likelihood of a bad outcome is reduced if a facility is accredited by the Joint Commission. There is a team put together to come up with accreditation standards and to make sure facilities stay compliant with these standards. Performance is evaluated to ensure standards are followed.

Grief is defined as keen mental suffering or distress over affliction or loss, and through the various ways both these characters coped with grief, each character’s thoughts and actions reveal aspects of his personality. In life “Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom”

“Previous studies showed a high incidence of recurrent falls in people with PD, ranging from 18% to 65% in a 1-year period” (Almeida et al., 2016, p. 1075). Falls are a risk for many people with Parkinson’s disease. People who have Parksinson’s disease and have issues with gait control have frequent falls. Nurses help care for individuals who have Parkinson’s when they enter the care facility. Exercising on a regular basis can help decrease the amount of falls with patients who have Parkinson’s disease. This paper will be located in a long term care facility and discuss how decreasing falls can improve quality of life in patients who have Parkinson’s disease.

This is what the author shows about life or human condition that all humans have to deal with grief. It is just a natural function that everyone has to deal with whether they show it or not. There isn’t a person who can have a loved one or somebody close to them die and not feel any grief whatsoever. It is a natural human instinct that happens. “He's a good boy” (280).

Death is a natural part of life and is a phenomenon that all individuals will eventually experience. However, the way in which we react to the passing of a loved one is subjective and does not follow a set path. Although a large body of literature on the phases of the grieving process exists, there is no commonly accepted definition as to the time individuals spend in the various stages. This is illustrated in the film, Manchester by the Sea.

Grief is the act following the loss of a loved one. While grief and bereavement are normal occurrences, the grief process is a social construct of how someone should behave. The acceptable ways that people grieve change because of this construct. For a time it was not acceptable to grieve; today, however, it is seen as a necessary way to move on from death (Scheid, 2011).The grief process has been described as a multistage event, with each stage lasting for a suggested amount of time to be considered “normal” and reach resolution. The beginning stage of grief is the immediate shock, disbelief, and denial lasting from hours to weeks (Wambach, 1985). The middle stage is the acute mourning phase that can include somatic and emotional turmoil. This stage includes acknowledging the event and processing it on various levels, both mentally and physically. The final stage is a period of

The loss of a loved one is a very crucial time where an individual can experience depression, somatic symptoms, grief, and sadness. What will be discussed throughout this paper is what the bereavement role is and its duration, as well as the definition of disenfranchised grief and who experiences this type of grief. I will also touch upon the four tasks of mourning and how each bereaved individual must accomplish all four tasks before mourning can be finalized. Lastly, with each of these topics, nursing implications will be outlined on how to care for bereaved individuals and their families.

The Emotions with Death Death of a loved one is a tragedy that everyone faces in their life; it is faced in many different ways. Every person reacts to the death of someone in a different way which is perfectly normal. Most of the time people only think about how the death affects only close family members and friends; however, the outside people, such as teachers, are rarely considered to fully react to a person’s death the way their parents might. A good example of an outside person mourning like this is in the poem “Elegy for Jane” by Theodore Roethke. Throughout this poem it examines the emotional shifts and attitudes that Jane’s teacher faces after the loss of his student.

The death of a family member is an inevitable occurrence in one’s life. A person will not have just one single reaction or coping method to a loved ones’ death. In James agees A Death in the Family a man named Jay is instantly killed in a car accident while on his way home late one night. Jays wife Mary is shocked to hear that her husband has just died and reacts in a couple of different ways. Being with her family, discussing the accident, and praying are all ways that Mary reacted to and coped with Jays

All of the characters in the novel are grieving. They are grieving for the loss of a father, a mother, a sister; they are grieving for the marriage that will never satisfy; they are grieving for the words they will never get the chance to say, the words they will never hear; they are grieving for the
