Nursing 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).

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.

For as long as I could remember, I have seen my father rushing to the hospital in a white coat, answering pagers in the middle of important family conversations and attending night calls even in the most terrible weather. I had always wondered; what could be so important that it belittles every other responsibility in his life. It was only after many years of anguish and protests that it finally made sense to me. This defining moment of realization occurred when I first met a patient in his office. I saw how the gratitude in the patient’s eyes can provide a sense of fulfillment that triumphs all other feelings in the universe. It was human life that was most important. Being a doctor does not make you a mere healer but also gives you the responsibility of a caregiver. I had never felt more proud of my father and that was the day I felt the urge to relive this feeling many times over. It was there in that moment that I decided to pursue a career in medicine.

I embrace the search for the effective, mutual beneficial relationships within medicine that aims to improve the lives of patients and fellow physicians to uncover the body’s complexities that are not always apparent through pure medical intervention. It’s not an endeavor that can be done with haste. Only with deliberate focus and care can I learn how to hone a person’s tale to their own telling and maintain their wellbeing. I look forward to the

The application of either an AP glide or LAT glide to the lower cervical spine in subjects with acute unilateral neck pain resulted in a significant decrease (P < .001) in self-reported level of pain at worst. This reduction in pain across all subjects almost reached clinical significance. Additionally, the reduction in worst pain reported from pre- to post-treatment was significantly different (P = .027) between the two groups with the AP group experiencing a greater reduction in pain than the LAT group. Therefore, the AP glide may be a better treatment option for reducing pain in individuals with acute neck pain. The improvement in pain in the AP group was clinically significant, as indicated by exceeding the MCID for

Focusing on my most important priorities as I live with my chronic condition has also taught me how to persevere.

Sometimes I have to cancel plans because I am not feeling well enough to go out. Having to live with my condition and make these lifestyle changes has made me learn that there is never an easy fix, but rather that change takes hard work and
