Community Health Nursing

Provides comprehensive safe, quality practice to achieve agreed goals and outcomes that are responsive to the nursing needs of people

“Nursing encompasses autonomous and collaborative care of individuals of all ages, families, groups and communities, sick or well and in all settings. Nursing includes the promotion of health, prevention of illness, and the care of ill, disabled and dying people. Advocacy, promotion of a safe environment, research, participation in shaping health policy and in patient and health systems management, and education are also key nursing roles” (ICN 2010)

P.R. is a 34 year-old male from Guatemala who went to a lake for cliff diving. He dove off of a cliff 20 feet from the water, hitting a rock, and fractured his neck at C6. This left P.R. as an incomplete quadriplegic, with partial gross movement of his upper arms. P.R. is able to move his shoulders to slightly lift his arms, but has no movements in his legs or the trunk. P.R. requires total assistance for all activities of daily living, and is incontinent of both bowel and bladder function. He speaks primarily Spanish and cannot communicate in English. He is verbally abusive and becomes combative with care givers. He does not have family support in America and is having difficulty adapting to American foods. P.R. has

to assess, diagnose, treat and prescribe based on authority from the state nursing board and does not require collaboration from an outside source.

Which action by the nurse demonstrates the best practice for nursing documentation on a computerized record?

I did my study for this assignment in Stokes County, North Carolina which is where I recently moved to from Iowa. Stokes County is made up of several small towns but King, which is where I live, is the largest town. Stokes County is in the middle northern part of the state near the Virginia border, a mountain chain, and a lot of wilderness. Some of the towns are incorporated and some are not and a few only claim to be villages. Using the Population Economic Status Assessment, I looked at the State & County Quick Facts last revised: Feb-2015 and found that the county population is at about 46,588. The Caucasian population makes up 93.8% of the population, African American 4.4%, Hispanic 2.7%, and the remainder is 1.1%. The

With over 1 years experience working in various wards throughout St Vincent’s Hospital as well as my placements throughout my diploma studies, I have gained a high level of knowledge of various elements of safety, effectiveness, and efficiency in nursing processes. I have been responsible for delivering a high quality of patient care, by completing tasks included but not limited to the following:

The community chosen for this fieldwork practicum is Pasadena, California. Pasadena is a city in Los Angeles County, California.

Putting the decision to work for the manager or the policymaker is step 5. Rundall states, “Actionability questions include whether

Nurse Brink designed a care modality that follows the functional model. With the functional model, care is provided by all members of a nursing team through different tasks (Yoder & Wise, 2015). Nurse Brink uses this model as each RN, LPN, and UAP are assigned a specific job. The jobs that each member of the nursing team has, correspond to their scope of practice (Yoder & Wise, 2015). By having each member complete their job, they’re supporting how a patient’s care is provided. With this design, it allows for each member of the team to work together in union. Though there may be a small number of staff members, they still have a role and responsibility to meet the needs of all patients.

The American Nurses’ Association recognizes 12 standardized (including nursing specific and interdisciplinary) terminologies as well as data element sets (such as the nursing minimum data set), and interfaces to support nursing practice. In this paper I will specify two such sets and will compare and contrast them and provide a sample Plan of Care using each.

In this assignment am going to identify the services available for people suffering with depression in . I will also identify statutory and non-statutory services available to meet the needs of people experiencing depression; examine the contribution of different professional groups and support staff and their impact on inter-professional working.
