Milestone Draft My client is a nurse who lives in Pennsylvania and works in New York City. She stays with her brother 3 days out of the week in New Jersey which is closer to New York City and goes back home to Pennsylvania on her days off. Sleep is the body’s built-in recovery mechanism. The protein that builds up in the cerebro-spinal fluid during waking hours can be broken down only during sleep, so due to her poor sleeping habits, she is constantly craving for unhealthy foods which is the main contributing factor to her weight gain. She is 220 pounds as of today and her goal is to weigh 170 pounds. According to Jackie she eats breakfast between 8:30 am - 9:00am and goes to sleep between 11:30 -12pm. She wakes up around 3:30 pm, drink …show more content…
Stay hydrated during your shift and limit caffeine because drinking coffee, tea and other caffeinated beverages can help you stay alert, but don’t consume more than 400 mg of caffeine a day. That is about the amount of caffeine found in two to three small cups of regular coffee. Caffeine can stay in your system for up to eight hours and this can affect your sleep. Switch to decaffeinated drinks, unsweetened herbal tea or water about four hours before bedtime. Jackie’s diet is pretty much the same so l picked the last day. On the first day, she consumed 1374 calories out of 1600 calories depending on her target weight. She did not meet the daily requirement for carbohydrates being the largest class of nutrients, including sugars, starch, and fibers, that function as the body’s primary source of energy. Jackie’s carbohydrate intake was 140.9 grams out of the 300 grams needed, which was 321.9 calories and 23.9 % calories came from carbohydrate. 46% of her diet was fat, 36% being saturated fat, 44% monounsaturated fat and 20% polyunsaturated fat. The sodium Adequate intake for 9-50 years old is 1500mg per day and the tolerable upper intake for 14 years and older is 2300mg, which is about 1 teaspoon of salt. To be healthy make sure you are getting the adequate nutrients daily of calcium, dietary fiber, potassium, vitamin A and Vitamin C. Eat less of saturated fat, sodium and cholesterol. These are a
The change project involves the implementation of post-discharge calls to monitor patients, hence prevent readmissions. Thus, the hospital needs resources that include personnel, equipment, technology, and travel in some instances. Additionally, Sullivan (2012) argues that employee motivation and continual development helps improve the job performance. As such, the hospital will be required to put additional resources for the purposes of employee motivation and education.
These are real and interesting happenings in the nursing profession. While it is a great opportunity for nurses to lead through advanced education, I have witnessed much abuse of power in the hands of these educated nurses once they were given a leadership, managerial position. Sadly, the task of bedside nursing seems to be disdainful to new nurses as they aim to obtain a higher education to get out of that condition. In our unit, the turnover of nurses happens almost every two years. Most nurses leave to pursue advanced degrees and come back as managers. It is through their leadership when work dissatisfaction happens because the new leaders focus more on the task than their subordinates. Seasoned nurses have been around to observe the
I can totally relate to your discussion post because I feel Florida is one of the most restrictive places for a nurse practitioner to practice. Nurse practitioners, being highly educated and experienced in the field of nursing, are given prescriptive authority to varying degrees across the United States. According to Sabatino, Pruchnicki, Sevin, Barker, Green and Porter (2017) the extent of a nurse practitioner’s prescriptive authority largely varies by the schedule of the drug in question, with some states allowing a larger degree of prescriptive authority to nurse practitioners and some regulating this prescriptive authority more closely. As of January 2017, the Governor of Florida Rick Scott signed legislation bill

Being a nurse has been my life-long goal, so I have thought for years about how I can use that knowledge to serve the most vulnerable in our community. With my husband, we have been foster parents to numerous children; all long-term placements, primarily teen-age boys. These kids have often been literally thrown away by their families, and although I know they appreciated having a stable home environment and involved, enthusiastic parents, the truth is that we learned so much more from them. All of these kids were minorities, from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds, all have gone on to complete high school, some on to college, and all are successful members of the community. I currently volunteer in a K-1 classroom, helping the kids that are behind, and doing art, which has often provided an opportunity to identify unmet needs for the child and for the family. This is the motivation for me to look forward to what I can provide as an MSN. It is my hope to set up diabetic screening at Sonoma County's low income secondary schools, creating a fun and interactive program focusing on preventative actions such as exercise, diet, cooking classes that highlight creating delicious, healthy meals
Applying to colleges has to be one of the most difficult and nerve-wracking tasks a high school senior can do. Choosing where to go for the next two or four years of your life can be strenuous. My heart is set on attending the University of Pennsylvania. I visited the campus twice and met with Marianne Smith. She gave me wonderful advice as well as history of the campus, a tour and their requirements for applying. I am immensely interested in applying to the School of Nursing.
A registered nurse is responsible for holding the keys to a safe or locked cupboard of S8 medications, and also ensuring that the safe or cupboard is locked at all times when not in use. When administering a S8 medication, a registered nurse and/or midwife is required to be involved and included in the removal of the medication from the cupboard, the subsequent checking and recording procedure. Enrolled nurses are not permitted to administer S8 medications but are aloud to be co signed, due to the definition of a nurse (defined as Registered Nurse or Midwife) under the ‘Poisons Regulations 1965 & Poisons Amendment Regulations 2010’. Enrolled nurse can give S4 and the storage cannot be the same key as the S8’s, may be in patient’s

Being a nurse and as a duty of care as a medically indorsed enrolled nurse, going through the 5 rights of drug administration before giving medications is crucial and productive in minimising the risks of giving the wrong patient wrong medications.
There are numerous opportunities for those nurses or nursing students who choose to participate in a professional nursing organization such as the American Nurses Association (ANA). Members will have access to a particular journal included with the membership which will provide up-to-date information in order to keep up with the latest advances in the nurse’s field, as well as interacting with peers from various parts of the country once a year at seminars. Through the seminars, a nurse or a nursing student may potentially advance in their career by fulfilling leadership roles in the professional nursing organization. Also, most
I decided to take nursing fundamentals (NF) because I feel that it will give me a glimpse into the medical field. I have been interested in the medical field for quite sometime now and I really want to get hands on with it. Although, CNA work isn’t what I want to do I know I have to go through the tough things first. I hope to learn from NF information such as taking vitals and patient care. I want to learn the best way to give someone comfort. I’m hoping NF will give me reassurance that I definitely want to go into a medical career. I expect myself to relate to the patients in a comforting manner and give them good company. I am concerned that I won’t rise to my own expectations which would cause me to perform poorly. I am excited to be hands on with patients and situations.
Based off of CK dietary intake report has several concerns per the report on from the USDA SuperTracker. For the macronutrients, carbohydrate was low at only 43% consumed on average for the 3 days. The goal for carbohydrate is about 60%. Along with carbohydrate being low, fiber intake was also low at 18 grams on average consumed (goal 25 grams/day). Fat intake was high at 41%. The goal for fat intake is 20%. In turn, saturated fat intake is also high 14% (goal less than 10%) and cholesterol is greater than 300 mg (goal less than 300mg). For the micronutrients, calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium and choline were all under. Sodium is the only micronutrient that was over. The goal is less than 2,300 mg but intake was 3,215 mg. She is
March 13th, 2011. It was the day I had been dreading, a day I wish I could’ve just pushed away and never had to live through. March 13th marked the day I made the move from Knoxville, Tennessee, to Spring, Texas. I was terrified, anxious about the anticipated move to a separate state. I felt like I belonged in Tennessee, and now I suddenly had to leave all that I knew behind.
Theories are developed to enhance nursing knowledge and practice. According to Blais and Hayes (2016) “A theory is a supposition or system of ideas that is supposed to explain a given phenomenon” (p.102). Our professional nursing practice book go over variety of nursing theories. I chose Watson’s Human Caring Theory to apply to my professional organization. This theory is based on caring for self and others by respecting all patients, honoring their needs, and building strong trusting relationships. “A caring moment/caring occasion occur at the moment the nurse and another come together for human-to-human transaction” (Blais & Hayes, 2016, P.111). The American Nephrology Nurses Association believes the quality of care will continue to improve
According to Political and Beck (2014), “In journals that specialize in research (e.g., the journal Nursing Research), most articles are original research reports, but in specialty journals there is usually a mix of research and nonresearch articles. Sometimes you can tell by the title, but sometimes you cannot. You can tell, however, by looking at the major headings of an article. If there is no heading called “Method” or “Research Design” (the section that describes what a researcher did) and no heading called “Findings” or “Results” (the section that describes what a researcher learned), then it is probably not a study” (p. 41).
