Client Care Case Study

Nursing care is a dynamic field of practice. The way it looks today is far out greater intense and very structured. It advances itself by the use of nursing theories and evidence based practice. Policies and procedures constantly change with the advancement of technology and science.

2. Language: Language can have a significant impact on multiple aspects of the health care of Hispanic children, including access, health status, use of services, and outcomes. The lack of Spanish speaking health care staff and inadequate interpreter services are the principle problems associated with language barriers. Research has shown that medical interpreters are not called when needed, inadequately trained, or not available at all (Flores, Afflick & Barbot, 2002).

According to the RP the resident was admitted to Premier Care on July 13, 2016.

You mentioned that your community lacks support or services for the homeless. The federal government created two programs in 2004 on order to reduce the homeless population. They are the Continuum of Care concept and the Homeless Information Management System. The Continuum of Care Concept provides housing for the homeless (Nies & McEwen, 2015). These programs are not able to provide housing for all the homeless, but it helps decrease the amount of homelessness. Do you know if your community uses these federal programs?

On another note, I agree with language being a big barrier for services. Often, I see children come in our agency translating for our adult clients who do not speak English well or not at all. For example, my agency serves multiple Hispanic families, but a few

Introduction This paper will use a case study to look at the importance of patient focused practice, with reference to an elderly patient with other care responsibilities. It will also look at its relevance to interprofessional learning and working within the role of the radiographer and two other healthcare professionals.
