Sticky And Prompts Re Appraisal Of Treatment

First of all, I recognized that I was dealing with humans, and not just dealing with a disease process and application of the nursing process in the aspect of restoring patient health. I was dealing with emotions, and families, and cultural beliefs that influenced individual’s aspects of care. I started to see that health did not just incorporate healing the disease, but also recognized the importance of making sure patient’s felt that their

To support such discussions, a range of knowledge gained throughout this module and previous programme themes, as well as a formative care plan developed for a fictional patient known as Mabel Dunn (see appendix A); will be utilised effectually. Through the exploration of each stage of the problem solving approach in turn, and how RLT is utilised alongside this process, enables an extensive in depth analysis to take place whilst using the formative care plan as reflective material to support the discussion.

Discussion how “words of comfort” encapsulated the books take on medicine, I feel that these words are showing us how in medicine being a caring and sympathetic health care provider is important. (Verghese, 2009) In the book relationships with patients is shown to be as important as the care they are providing. Knowing how much technology and medicine has advanced in the last years I feel that no matter how good the scientific side of it is there has to be a relationship with the health care providers and patients. It is proven that a positive relationship helps a patient recover faster. Relationships can help in many ways just having someone to talk to, give feedback, and encouragement are all way relationships are able to benefit and speed up recovery. (Brainline, 2015)

Recovery of a patient is much more than the management of medial symptoms. It involves a person regaining control, individualism and independency, “socially re-connecting” and rebuilding their life (Welch, 2010). Protective factors such as self-care, quality of life, pain and illness perception, and physical outcomes can be associated with the recovery of a patient. Welch suggest, “Excessive individualism or self-reliance is an obstacle to resilience when it undermines relationships or prevents people seeking and receiving help when they need it” (Welch,

Jones could vividly recall the collective support and motivation that was accompanied in his recovery by the entirety of his team (Jones, 2015). This presents the role of nursing, as well as the roles of the other health care professionals, is very collaborative and team oriented, as they were never addressed individually. This presentation of their roles was somewhat consistent with my pre-existent idea of what roles they play. An example would be in terms of emotional availability, by acknowledging Jones’ concerns. (Jones, 2015). However, I had never considered the role of nursing, or the other professions as being so largely team oriented or being in direct contact on a daily basis.

Community and relationships are crucial components in the healing process. Perry learns this in the third chapter of Perry & Szalavitz (2006) when Perry is faced with the challenge of treating children straight out of the Davidian cult. Beliefs are one of the most difficult things to change and these children lived in a different reality all their lives than the rest of the world. In light of this fact, Perry was smart enough not to force the children into therapy right away but instead let them slowly make attachments of their own to different staff members and get acclimated. Perry points out that as humans are biologically wired to create connections with others since we’re strongest in groups but also be watchful of social cues that could

for the patients, using “self-determination”, to make them feel as if they have a place in their

I observed Harper, a 23 month old little girl that is full of energy. Also participating in the interaction with Harper was her mother and five year old sister, Mya. Harper is very friendly and outgoing. She is very interested “reading books” and loves to be read to. She enjoys helping her mother clean and do simple tasks. She seems to be very confident with and without her mother in her sight. Harper’s father is not actively involved in her life because he lives in another state.

Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which the bones become brittle from the loss of tissue, generally as a result of specific changes. Risk factors that take part in the disease are things such as unchangeable risks like sex, age, race, family history and the size of the individual. Other risk factors include hormone levels and medication as well as dietary factors and life choices. Life choices that play a role are sedentary lifestyle these are people who spend a lot of time sitting have a higher risk of osteoporosis than do their more-active counterparts, weight-bearing exercise is beneficial for your bones to ensure the bone remolding cycle ensures them to grow strong (MayoClinic, 2013). Common symptoms that one should take into

Imagine giving up and feel like you have lost everything you ever had, and losing every single sign of hope. Most people in Barbara Whitlock’s situation has had this happen to them, but this is not the problem for her. She is an amazing cancer survivor who has never lost hope and always kept believing. “i live one day at a time and love each day, i fight god for each day he gives me, i live each day to the fullest i always keep jesus”. She may be seen just as another cancer patient or a survivor but he is more than that she has learned that life is precious and you should enjoy every minute of the life we have and live it like it is your last.

The person component according to Marchuk’s philosophy and science of human nurturing, is clarified as an exemplified soul in which there is solidarity of nature, brain, and body (Marchuk, 2014). Through experience, I realize that anxiety, depression and low self-esteem most of the time ruins recuperation and successful outcomes. This not only refers to the patient but the family/caregiver as well. Involving the patient’s family into the patient’s plan of care is also known as family-centered care, reinforcing the education also promotes positive patient outcomes. Therefore I always take my time to explore any worries in my patient’s or family member that can influence in their recovery.

Devotion to provide excellent care become the essential objective of every healing hospital. Everyone on the team knows why they are here and what they are aiming for. Paramount to this success toward love is to embraces the whole aspect of care including everything and everyone that can contribute to the final objective which is healing. A person may be healthy but not healed because pieces in the puzzle are missing , that is why It promoting an attitude that meets not only the patient's bodily needs but also their emotional and transcendent needs is primordial. The relationship between the healthcare and the patient is far more important than medicines and all the technology available. God calls us to fellowship and compassion. When awe provide compassionate care we are followers of Jesus, when we live our houses children and comfort to be a missionary we are healing a broken world. Everyone sees the world in a different way because we have different background and things can change from one minute to the other , but God never change he is a rock in time of distress he can heal us and make us whole if only we let him. He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. (Psalm

Lily had only recently began dialysis treatment, and her unwillingness to proceed with treatment would have resulted in her care becoming palliative, something the healthcare professional did not think was suitable at this point in her illness trajectory. Tait (2012) points out that a critically ill patient experiences not only physiological trauma, but also psychological trauma. This psychological trauma that can be experienced after critical care has been addressed by the National Outreach Forum (2003) who suggested that services should be developed to address the implications of critical illness. Samuelson (2011) suggests that any negative emotions associated with critical care can be counterbalanced with memories that reinforce safety, control and trust. This is a useful point to consider in Lily case, who fortunately had the time to talk through her worries concerning continual dialysis treatment with the staff on the ward, who were able to convince her she was in the safest possible hands and that continuing her dialysis treatment would be the best option.

-They put all the leadership towards the patient first, but they found it a challenge to provide hope for the patient and the staff to be able to give them the experience they both wanted

I'm amazed by the clear majority of “successful” people who overcame adversity and hardship. How do we react to ours? Do we crumble like cookies under the thought of a challenge and avoid them.. or do we conquer challenges and own them? Well, I say, it's up to us. All this [stress] plays into a huge feedback loop that can determine health, happiness, and ultimately our "success". For better or for worse. Why did patients in our readings have such different personal narratives of illness from what seemed to be very similar and even in the same biomedical causes of illnesses? These questions highlight the view that there is a deeper transcending non-biomedical cause of illness, which then, effects outcomes of treatment and healing. I believe an attitude of resilience fostered through experience, plays a huge role in how people react to their illness which then affects how one responds to treatment/therapy. How is it that some people in life have suffered so much and at the end of the day, sometimes after years. not only remain intact mentally, but thrive in the world and carry on with their lives, despite their condition(s) and exposure to trauma. Against all the odds. Through personal experience and evidence presented in the readings. I will persuade you to understand why I feel humans may respond so differently; to treatment and the processes of healing. I don’t expect you to agree with everything I say, you are entitled to that. I only expect that you acknowledge that the
