Nurse Patient Communication

Type 1 diabetes (T1DM), which accounts for 10%- 15% of all diabetes, is increasing in prevalence globally. According to Diabetes Australia (2015), diabetes becomes the fastest growing chronic condition in Australia among all other chronic illness such as heart disease or cancer. Although T1DM cannot be prevented or cured at the present as the exact cause of the disease is not yet fully understood, it can be managed with insulin injections or insulin pump (Diabetes Australia, 2015). However, a person with Down Syndrome (DS) and moderate intellectual disability (ID) will face more health challenges managing his chronic illness than those without ID or genetic condition. ICF model will be used to analyse this person’s activities limitation and participation restrictions in the essay. Finally, an effective nursing communication intervention will be applied by the community nurse to educate this 45 year old male to reduce risks of developing complications associated with T1DM.

Purpose: The purpose of this speech is to inform my audience on the importance of vaccinating their children. My central idea is that current education is too lax, we need to better educate our new parents on the importance of vaccinations.

Here comes our responsibility as team leaders and responsible civilians to educate such people, guide, and help them to know vaccines’ role in prevention and cure of diseases using simplest language possible while meeting face-to-face, organizing campaigns, seminars, and advertising and answering all the queries via world-wide-web, and using latest smart media and technologies. All in all, demand for the affordable and safe treatment has always been a global concern, but thankfully, with great efforts of our dedicated and highly inspired scientists and researchers today we have few vaccines as cost-effective, secure and reliable preventive-therapy. Introduction of vaccines in the modern science has proved to be a boon to the humanity and a major break-through to the conventional treatment methods. Also, if one could avert a disease then he would not need to worry about the cost he might have paid if he has had suffered from

People in the United States are urged from day one that vaccinations are important for the well being of their children and for everyone that your child may come in contact with. Recently, childhood vaccinations have been stigmatized as a negative process. Parents have become increasingly concerned about the effects and side effects of vaccinations. The problem being, that the infectious diseases that are being prevented for, are being forgotten about. Vaccinations have been doing their job in protecting us for so long that the infectious diseases are less scary than vaccination process itself (Austvoll-Dahlgren & Helseth, 2012, p. 271). Vaccinations are a preventative measure and one that will continue to be implemented in children for their individual safety and for the safety of the public. However, it is still the families’ choice whether or not they want to proceed with the vaccination process or not. Most vaccinations are going to be administered by a registered nurse, therefore, it is the role of the nurse to supply information, and answer questions when counseling families through this process. The goal is to make people feel as comfortable and as informed as possible so that they can make a decision on whether to submit to the vaccination process or not.

It is very important for healthcare providers to be educated on the safety concern of vaccination. Proper protocols must be taken through evidence-based research on the issue of vaccination and the risk factors that can allow stakeholders better implementation on laws that can be beneficial to parents. The stakeholder’s in the healthcare field such as patients, healthcare providers, insurance companies, organizations, and those who enforce policy main concern are the safety of these patients. The decisions most of these stakeholders make can either benefit patients or affect them. For example, the consequences parents have if their child is not vaccinated. The mandatory law of children who are not vaccinated cannot enrolled in school is unfair to parents. I believe parents should not be penalized or forced for their child to be vaccinated. If all stakeholders can reunite through evidence based research on the topic of vaccinations risk concern it can cause a positive impact on parents and alternative ways children can prevent the side

To revert such adverse outcomes, as advance health providers, we need to educate our patients about the importance of getting vaccinated and staying protected. The public, in general, requires a higher understanding of the two fundamental reasons of vaccination, which includes protecting ourselves and protecting those around us. Successful prevention depends on the initiatives of every individual to get vaccinated to avoid the spread of diseases ("Adult Immunization: Shots to Save Lives",

This report aims to discuss the communication observed between the Nurse and Patient portrayed in the video. There are two scenarios in which the Nurse addresses the patient’s concerns. The patient’s response is influenced by the Nurse’s approach. In a health care setting, a personal, empathic yet professional approach is most effective in communication from Nurse to Patient. Furthermore this report assesses the therapeutic techniques used by the Nurse to effectively interact with the patient.

Parents may feel more comfortable with the decision to vaccinate their children if the APRN strongly recommends this route of care or explains that they have vaccinated their own children. If a parent chooses not to vaccinate, keep the lines of communication open and revisit their decision at a future visit, over time with parents may reconsider their vaccination decision. Lastly, an APRN may be more prepared to take on this issue if the proper tools are in your tool belt so to speak. Items such as fact sheets, vaccine safety, and strategies for successful vaccine conversations with parents all may be resourceful to handle this important topic with parents. All of these recommendations should help an APRN become more involved with the discussion

My ideal audience for this presentation would include new and parents to be, so that they are able to make educated decisions with regards to vaccinating their children. The information about vaccinations will be beneficial for every person in the world. This presentation will also be educational to any person that plans to become a parent, or a grandparent, at any time in the near, or not so near, future.

Vaccinations have, and are currently now more than ever, a very heated topic of discussion. While some parties agree that vaccinations are a necessity for the average person, others disagree, stating that they are unnecessary, dangerous, and should not be administered. There are reasons, however, as to why vaccinations should be administered. A very widespread and basic understanding is that they provide immunity against specific diseases. It is important to vaccinate everyone, lest widespread disease may run rampant again. This has also been proven important in the goal to completely destroy certain diseases. Last, it is very dangerous to ignore vaccinations, as some diseases are life-threatening. It is of upmost urgency that everyone be vaccinated, and up to date on such.

Mr. Comer was admitted to his local community hospital for respite care. He has suffered multiple, acute strokes in the past, which has left him with severe disabilities. These include paralysis rendering him immobile, aphasia (speech loss) and dysphagia (swallowing difficulties). He relies on carers for all normal activities required for daily living (Roper et al 1996) and is advised to have a pureed diet and thickened fluids.

Credibility Statement: My mom is a pediatric nurse practitioner, and has always made me to get all of my shots and vaccinations. Over the past few weeks, I have spent a considerable amount of time reading up on this topic.

Research shows that the most critical factor in parental attitudes toward immunization of their children is the type of interaction that they have with health professionals (Bedford et al., 2012). With positive interactions, health professionals can address parental concerns of vaccines for parents in support of immunizations and be the deciding factor for reluctant parents to agree to immunize their child (Bedford et al., 2012). Research shows that if a parents trusts the source of information maybe more critical that what is in the information (Bedford et al., 2012). A teaching plan for immunizations, should include the benefits of immunization, the risks, and the immunization schedule.

The idea of providing the community with information about vaccinations and resources is great. The conflict that she had to face were communicating with people who do not believe in a vaccine. To her, it is important to know how to change their opinion and analyze why immunization is a must in our society. She believes that missed information and false studies with no actual resources to go to are the reasons why people are afraid of vaccines. The reason why immunization is important to her because prevention health is important in our community and vaccines can play a simple role in helping humans prevent or reduce the risk to be in contact with an illness. Because of the dedicated staffs and community partners contribution to Immunize Nevada, there is an annual event called Silver Syringe (a dinner to recognize the awesome people who helps Immunize Nevada’s purpose become a reality). As the executive director, Silver Syringe is Heidi’s favorite annual event. Said by Melinda Gates, her favorite quote is “Women in the developing world and know the power of vaccine. They would walk 10 kilometer in the heat with their child and lined up to get a vaccine because they have seen death.” It is her favorite quote because it reminds the staffs and the members of Immunize Nevada that there are better access to health care in the US than other countries; therefore, American citizens should take it for
