Informative Model Of The Nurse 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. While caring for the patient in the given case studies, a nurse involved utilizes practical knowledge, a culture care model and transpersonal caring relationship to attain a caring environment (Smith & Parker, 2015).

While reflecting back on the previous weeks, I have to say that this was the foundational class for the FNP students. Before this class, I used to think how I am going to fulfill the role of a Nurse Practitioner (NP). This class helped me to better understand my role and gave me the confidence that I can fulfill the role of an NP. Today, when I look at myself, I know I am in the stage of advanced beginner in Patricia Benner’s Novice to expert theory. The case studies in the discussion threads really put me in the real world of practical nursing as an NP fulfilling the role of a provider. Thorough the case studies, I have learned how to make a best differential diagnosis based on the patients presenting symptoms. The interaction and sharing

The aim of this study is to provide a detailed account of the nursing care for a patient who is experiencing a breakdown in health. One aspect of their care will be discussed in relation to the nursing process. The model used to provide an individualised programme of care will be discussed and critically analysed.

Who dictates how you live your life? How does one define life and when that life should end? If you become terminally ill, would you like the choice to choose how your life ends? In the United States, assisted suicide, is a highly-debated issue. On one side, there are many in support of allowing a person the right to end their life with dignity at the time of their choosing. While others believe, it is a moral right to sustain life and leave a person’s exit from this world to a higher power. The two opposing viewpoints have both compassionate reasons and disadvantages; nevertheless, a person’s human rights as an individual are the most important aspect to uphold.

Hello, I am Angeline S. Bernard, licensed practical nurse, with Aetna’s utilization management department for long-term care. I am a 20 year veteran in the health care industry, primarily in the field of nursing, interested in pursuing a management role. With 15 years spent in the acute hospital environment, as a nurse, I have also practiced in other settings. School nursing, occupational nursing, quality management, and utilization management, are all additional areas of practice.

   The basic dilemma surrounding the subject of assisted suicide is who has the right to choose when someone dies? There are many layers of questions and varying opinions surrounding this right. How can our own self-determination be considered morally wrong when taken in the context of the opinion of others? In a society that stresses individual freedoms why is it that Congress continues to hinder doctor-assisted suicide (Keminer, 2000, p. 8)?

Ultimately physician assisted suicide goes against moral and ethical judgment that is placed within the “hands” of a practicing physician.

The issues of physician-assisted suicide (PAS) are both emotional and controversial. Some argue PAS is ethically permissible for a dying person who has chosen to escape unbearable suffering at the end of life; it is the physician’s duty to alleviate the patient’s suffering and justifies aid-in-dying. These arguments rely on the respect for individual autonomy. “Individual autonomy is an idea that is generally understood to refer to the capacity to be one's own person, to live one's life according to reasons and motives that are taken as one's own and not the product of manipulative or distorting external forces.” (STANDFORD REF)

In today’s modern society, to prohibit a law or practice takes greater effort and stronger argument than permitting a law or practice. In result of this, the rights and liberty of an individual are very important and would require captivating reasons to overrule it. Since the decision to choose for physician assisted suicide or euthanasia is extremely personal, the famous “innocent until proven guilty” is to be stressed to a great extent when dealing with this topic on debate terms. An individual has a basic right to determine the course of

CHIEF COMPLAINT: This is a post op note from a procedure performed July 21, 2015 by David Lin, MD.

R.O. is a 43-year-old female Latino patient who has been living at home alone since she got divorced three months ago. She does not have any living or available family in the United States. She is the oldest of three children. Her parents died of an accident when she was little. Two of her sisters live in Mexico. She has lost contact with her family in Mexico when she got married and move to the United States. She also has stopped communicating with her ex husband since they got divorced. Although she does not have any support from her family, she states that her church member has been very supportive. Moreover, R.O. states she was a homemaker until the divorce. Currently, she has been working as a dishwasher near her house.

If a person makes a voluntary request for medial aid in dying, and have been fully informed of their condition and all of the other options, then a doctor who willingly will help the patient in dying would not be compromising the patient’s autonomy. Physician-assisted suicide respects the free will of the

continue full treatment in accordance with patient’s desires or side with physicians and not intubate patient) we can reasonably argue that, under Utilitarian grounds, the act of not intubating her would be morally acceptable and ought to be the course of action that is followed. Such reasoning lies on the fact that a higher level of utility (happiness) would be achieved. In other words, because Utilitarianism determines acts as ethical or morally suspect based on consequences, the end results are what should be considered in who should decide and where should the line be drawn. That is, the concept of “maximizing the greatest good” is important in solving this case
