Mandatory Illness: Personal Goals And The Care Plan

Nurse and patient relationships are referred to therapeutic relationships, they are a person-centred approach to care (Berman Et al 2012). For a therapeutic relationship to be effective in meeting the client/patient goals the nurse needs to ‘earn the person’s trust and respect.’ Berman Et al (2012) suggests that the trust and respect of a patient can be earned through ‘sound nursing knowledge and use of effective communication.’ This is reflected in the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia’s competency standards. These national standards that are regulated and followed by all nurses, they are updated regularly to remain contemporary and

Clients are assessed in a holistic way to identify the needs and therefore to provide individualised care plan. For instance, people unsteady on feet might need minimum support in personal care under the provision of safety as well as maintain their independence. Some with poor vision accuracy might require assistance in medication management due to the high risk of error in medication administration. Besides, chronic conditions have profound negative impact on individual’s life such socialisation (Carrier & Newbury 2016). Social isolation could further impact on physical and mental health. Nurses can address this issue by teaching clients to understand their conditions and work with them to set goals for long-term management. Nurses could also empower them to participate in the community programs such as craft workshop and bus trip. Individual’s socioeconomic position, employment, education, housing and other resources influence one’s health and wellbeing (Marmot 2005). I have come across clients from various cultural backgrounds. As a community nurse, I also need to understand client’s culture needs, family structure, and cultural norm, by addressing their preference and the language barriers. These barriers may prevent clients from seeking relevant services if they do not

Effective nursing practice is in need of on an effective therapeutic relationship between the nurse and the client. This instruction addresses the qualities and capacities of an effective therapeutic relationship, the state of knowledge, and the information needed to be effective. To implement a therapeutic relationship effectively, hospitals characteristics must be supportive. The therapeutic relationship is also known as the helping alliance and it refers to the bond between a healthcare professional and a client. It is the means of professional hopes to involve with, so as to change the outcome result of the client. This relationship is significant to the client’s orientation

This is because the nurse had already provided Jack with a referral to the local hospital so that a physician could further assess his symptoms and possibly prescribe him one or more medications that could assist in controlling his symptoms. I also believe that this goal will be easy to achieve because despite Charles having recently begun smoking inside the family’s home, he will likely be able to make the transition to smoking outdoors without much difficulty, which will thereby prevent Jack’s illness from progressing further and protect his daughters from falling ill as well. Moreover, when reviewing which of the health practices within the care plan will need to be better accommodated to Jack and Jacqueline’s health needs, it is evident that the nurse may have to adapt how he or she works to improve upon Jacqueline and Charles’ current knowledge of Down Syndrome. As Charles has difficulty accepting Jack and his disorder, providing him with accurate information regarding his son’s diagnosis may be ineffective as he could decide that what he is being told is not important or that it is of no use to him. Therefore, the nurse must work with Charles to, at the very least provide him with some general information about Down Syndrome. If he or she then notices that Charles has decided not to listen to what is being conveyed, this relay of knowledge must cease. From here, all of the crucial information regarding Down Syndrome that the nurse has gathered for both Charles and Jacqueline must only be relayed to Jacqueline. This will thereby prevent any further fuelling of Charles’ rejection of Jack while also ensuring that at least one of Jack’s parents is accurately informed about his

This is because Suzan appears to be inclined to collaborate with the nurse to make contact with various inter-disciplinary caregivers that would be able to provide her with the care and support that she requires in order for her mental health to be improved. I also believe this goal will be easy to achieve because despite the possibility of Suzan’s sister not being able to care for her daughters if and when she decides to check herself into the District Hospital, there are other options for child care in which the nurse can help her look into and possibly facilitate. Moreover, when reviewing which of Suzan’s health practices will require accommodation, it is apparent that those associated with facilitating her access and utilization of the various support services in which her nurse plans to contact for her may have to be adapted. This is because although she may have told her nurse that she is willing to talk to the various professionals whom these services employ, she may reach a point in time in which she is too nervous to do so in fear that John may discover what she is doing and lash out at her. Therefore, the nurse must work with Suzan to ensure that she is willing and ready to access these services. From here, if she wants to proceed connecting with those who can help her, the nurse

Nursing process is a systematic process that involves a continuous cycle of five interrelated phases: holistic assessment of a client, nursing diagnoses, nursing care planning, implementation, and evaluation (Wilkinson et al. 2015). It enables nurses to assess the person’s health status and health care needs, to create plans to meet the identified needs, and to provide and evaluate individualised nursing interventions according to the person’s needs (Luxford 2015). The holistic assessment is the first step of the nursing process that includes the collection of subjective and objective data related to the physical, psychological, social, developmental, cultural, and spiritual status of a client (Wilkinson et al. 2015). This comprehensive approach to nursing assessment is essential because it allows nurses to comprehend not only clients’ health status, but also their routines and needs in order to incorporate their life-styles into the care interventions (Luxford 2015). It ultimately enables nurses to provide appropriate quality person-centred care rather than nurse-initiated care (Luxford 2015). Responsibility for holistic nursing assessment is supported by the Registered nurse standards for practice (2016), ‘Standard 4.1: The registered nurse conducts assessments that are holistic as well as culturally appropriate’ (Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia [NMBA] 2016, p. 4). This essay will discuss the elements and the importance of holistic assessment in nursing.

This essay will discuss the role of the adult nurse in a recovery setting, within the specific context of Nurse Joy and her patient Linda. It will explore the professional values and attitudes of the recovery nurse. Also, it will demonstrate how effective, holistic and evidence-based nursing can impact on patient experience and care. To explore these topics, this essay will discuss the episode of care given by Nurse Joy to Linda. It will show that her practice adhered to the expected standards of nursing while showing compassion respect and dignity of the patient. A reflection will conclude the essay, explaining what impact the experience of observing Nurse Joy’s practice had on the author of this essay. In accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery council’s code of conduct 2015, all patients and healthcare professionals have pseudonyms to protect their confidentiality and anonymity.

Nursing revolves, not merely about looking after patients, but creating awareness in the society about self care nursing and prevention strategies and to communicate with their patients in a holistic manner, so as to satisfy their physical, mental and spiritual health needs. Various nursing theorists have repeatedly

From this, the nurse will be able to work towards improving both Suzan and John’s health, which will hopefully in turn lead to some of Suzan’s goals being met. Furthermore, as the Rwandan perspective did not highlight the importance of assessing and working with other members of Suzan’s family, such as John, this highlights a prominent difference between the norms that Canadian and Rwandan nurses implement into care.

A nurse-patient relationship is the basic requirements in all practice settings. Its usage is to manage communication between an organization and a public while maintaining boundaries in the therapeutic relationship. Based on Peplau’s interpersonal theory, communication takes place in a nurse-client relationship where therapeutic process occurs involving complex factors such as environment, attitudes, practices, and beliefs in the dominant culture (seu.edu, 2015). The actions of each person in a nurse-patient relationship is measured on the collaboration of their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Nurse’s work to attain, maintain, and restore the patient’s health until patient have fulfilled the health care needs. Patient must be guided and provided a well-respected environment until a better health and specific needs are fully considered in the relationship. In this kind of setting, nurse’s must create relationship with patients by communicating receptivity, assimilating the concepts of empathy, trust, genuineness, respect, and confidentiality into their interactions.

My journey to nursing began with my personal healthcare experience, and has continued to evolve since entering the nursing program at State University. My personal philosophy of nursing is related my life experience and my personal philosophy of life. Using reflection-on-action, I have begun to understand the influences that have lead me to nursing. I discovered client and family centered care to be an important quality when I look at the influential nurses in my life. To develop a positive therapeutic nurse-client relationship, nurses must integrate all 5 dimensions of the therapeutic nurse-client relationship into their practice (CNO, 2006). When it comes to providing client-centered care, the dimensions of trust, empathy

client system (the person, the family and the community) in maintaining the optimal level of well-being through the nursing interventions. Although, the nurse and the client work cooperatively towards achieving the client system’s stability and an optimal level of wellness, the nurse’s perception of the client’s health influences the plan of nursing care. The System Model’s main intervention is prevention, which carried out on three levels: primary, secondary and tertiary.

It is also used in diverse practice in global setting. It is used to guide practices to meet patient and family needs of patients in critical acute and chronic healthcare problems. It is a holistic approach that allows the nurse to conduct nursing practice base on nursing theory where by allowing individuals and families to meet their health needs that demonstrate optimum clinical nursing practice. It is a holistic approach in the care of the patient and through directing nursing education and clinical practice the Betty Neuman System Model is used.
