An Expert And A Disciple For An Extended Period

412-3). Intuition has been found to be an important skill for knowledge development in nursing practice; it enables an individual to unconsciously establish information quickly to make connections and make a hypothesises to an event through past experiences (Chilcote 2017, p. 63). In another sense, intuition is “a feeling that guides a person to act a certain way without fully understanding why” (Robert, Tilley & Petersen 2014, p. 343). In nursing practice, the theory of intuition plays a great part on patient care, especially during assessments as intuition can lead to clinical interventions through a nurse’s perception to a patient’s condition (Robert, Tilley & Petersen 2014, p. 344). Intuition is a theory that is slowly shifting focus to be replaced by evidence-based practice where all decisions made by healthcare professionals are backed by evidential factors, but intuition none the less still has a part in current practice (Hassani, Parkhide, Abdi & Jalali 2016, p.

One more weakness encountered is that the nurse might have frightened the client by saying “that’s serious!” and the final outcome of the breast cancer when the client said she had discovered a hard substance on her left breast. The nurse may not be able to handle this situation as the client burst in to tears the moment that she heard the frightening statements. This would distract and confuse the client and therefore the pace of the interview would be disrupted (Hodgson, Martin, 2006).

Everyone knows the disastrous effects cancer has on a person and their loved ones. Knowing that my mom was misdiagnosed, there could've been a moment when she may have still been here on Earth. During 2005, my mom noticed that something was wrong with her. This realization lead her to go seek a doctor at Lincoln hospital. During her examination, the doctors didn't noticed anything was wrong. After three years she went back again, and Dr. Max Ann examined my mother a second time,but this time he discovered that she had cancer. This

It is not our goal to “trade” members neither with other churches nor to increase our membership by reaching disgruntled members of other churches. Our vision is to reach young people who may not have a “church” background, teach and train them, equip them, and qualify them to go out and win souls. We believe that by doing this, we will build a strong army who can take our community, state, and the world for Christ. We want to reach young people ages 10-18 in our community. According to Warren, “If you want to build a healthy, strong, and growing church you must spend time laying a solid foundation.”

Tennis superstar Serena Williams faced doubt from her healthcare team when she informed them that she believed she was experiencing a postnatal pulmonary embolism(Haskell 2018). She had a history of attaining life-threatening blood-clots yet, according to her cover story in Vogue, her nurse believed her pain medicine was causing her confusion. Williams knew she needed a cat scan and a heparin drip and it wasn’t until her doctor was finally called that she received the treatment she needed. Unfortunately, her story is not the only one. In a BuzzFeed video titled My Doctor Didn’t Believe My Pain, women narrate experiences in which they struggled to receive proper healthcare all due to doctors’ disbelieve in their symptoms. These women fought,

I don't think that the medical staff handled Sara's case well at all. Rather than being honest and truthful about her diagnoses, they continued to beat around the bush and minimize the lethality of her disease. This gave Sara a false sense of hope, and in the end, put her through a greater deal of suffering. Once the medical staff determined that her Tumors were not responsive to chemo or to the experimental drugs this is when they should have sat her and her family down and began to discuss other options such as ending treatment, hospice or other alternatives. Instead, until the very end, she believed that she would beat this cancer. During this time, doctors already knew that treatment would not work for her metastatic lung cancer. Instead of wasting her time, becoming iller with these hopeless treatments she could have spent her remaining days with her family, being able to do everything she wanted with them until it was her time to go. Instead, unfortunately, her last few days were spent suffering and sick, with a false sense of hope and optimism that one day she would be cancer

A person’s thoughts, feelings, emotion, and beliefs often shape ones decision-making process. Other components, including perception, memory, introspection, and reasoning also assist in the formation of opinions, shape our knowledge, and transform an individual’s viewpoint (Feldman, 2003, p. 3). Perception is how one sees the world around them, the sights, sounds, smells, and other senses creates an understanding of the external environment creating a mental image and often places an attachment to it.

She believes that each doctor has their own theory of practice which might not always line up with the patients’ beliefs, but the patients are left unaware of other options. Jane Doe stated: “there are times (as a nurse) that you know the patient or their medical _____ are not making a good informed decision. Things can be done differently for a better outcome.” The causes of this, in a rural area, can be due to miseducation issue that can or can’t be fixed. Jane Doe mentioned that she has encountered plenty of patients who don’t understand what is happening to them or what their options are, so they default to what their health care provider recommends.

I was reading an article titled "Breast Cancer: Predicting Individual Risk", it is written about a doctor at the mayo clinic in Rochester, MN. "He is widely regarded as the one of the international leaders in the genomics of breast cancer." He says, " Two women with the same high-risk mutation in a breast cancer gene- and thus the same sixty-five percent lifetime risk of breast cancer- could, in fact, have very different outcomes. Depending on how the other 20,000 odd-genes in her genome might be acting in the background, one woman may develop breast cancer at an earlier age, and the other might not even get it (p. 1-2)". He is studying to give women the best information on their genes as possible. Doctors are learning way more about this disease than other doctors in the past which is in return helping woman of all ethnicities with their road to recovery and healing processes. Young states, "According to the American Cancer Society about 230,500 women in the United States have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer this year. Nearly 40,000 women are expected to die from this cancer this year. Only lung cancer causes more cancer deaths in women (Young, 2011, p. 1)". That is still a big number of women that do

We laugh about the person who says, ‘I know I’m right; don’t confuse me with arguments’. And yet there are times when we find ourselves wanting to say that too. For there are situations in which we feel sure that we know something, even though if asked to give a good argument to back up our claim we are at a loss to know quite how to do so. ‘I know you’re the person I spoke to on the bus yesterday.’ ‘I know I have two hands.’ ‘I know it is wrong to let that child starve.’ ‘I know that six minus four leaves two.’ Our experience of being confident that we are right in cases like those is often called intuition. Intuitive knowing seems to be a direct, convincing way of knowing, which needs no further argument. And it is a perfectly ordinary,

Cancer can be a silent killer. It doesn't discriminate gender, age, sexuality or economic status. It is rare, if not impossible to find someone who doesn't know a person who suffered from a type of cancer. Money has been invested in many types of research trying to find a way to defeat this disease. However, as stated by the NYT article, even though some drugs have been created to fight this, cancer develops resistance. One of those people who suffered from cancer was Genesis. She suffered from inflammatory breast cancer. It is an aggressive form of breast cancer. The main symptoms which she underwent were swelling and others mention in the chapter. She had followed the in instructions of her doctor. Just as stated in the chapter, she had

One thing the health educator could have done differently is not of asked the patient if she performs breast self-exams already. This put the women on the spot, and she felt obligated to say yes, when in reality she did not. The health educator should have explained to the women the important of self-breasts exams, and then asked the women if she would like to know how to do them. As health educator it is our ethical and professional duty to educate people about their health. But we cannot force them to learn we must be respectful of each patient

Clinical judgment involves the integration of theoretical knowledge with experience to provide an interpretation or conclusion about a patient’s needs. However, due to different medical experiences of every clinician which lead to different assumptions that undergird medical decisions, knowledge constructed using individual clinical expertise is inevitably subjective in nature. Moreover, symptoms of many medical conditions tend to be qualitative and degenerate i.e. prone to underdetermination. For example, a qualitative symptom such as severe abdominal pain could be due to multiple causes – kidney stones or appendicitis or even irritable bowel syndrome. Hence, relying on individual expertise seems to pose the difficulty of forming a diagnosis with

In our society, we tend to solely rely on the knowledge that experts express and religiously follow them. It is quite evident as we tend to categorize these individuals, for example a person who is a historian will not be asked the question "why is the sky blue" nor would we think it is appropriate to ask him. Looking at the prescribed title, the terms access, facts and experts are too ambiguous in their nature. To define them, access indicates the experts’ ability to use such as the Internet for answers, fact are ideas that are considered indisputable which everyone agrees upon, disagreement is when two or more interpretations clash against each other and experts are people who have conducted research to gain more insight in their
