The Treatment Of The Nurse

On May 11th 2013, my grandma passed away due to pancreatic cancer. A little later that year on September 25th, my mom received a call from my aunt in Guam that my dad had passed away in his sleep. Then on May 14th 2014, my grandpa passed from complications of an allergic reaction to a medication. So within a year, I was left to deal with three immediate family deaths, one right after another. Losing such important figures in one’s life could leave someone depressed and unmotivated to move on with their own life and to rise above those challenges is difficult, yet possible. During this time of hardship, I grew discouraged and saddened, but over time I became motivated to set aside these struggles and make a change.

Mrs. Wilson is seen in her room at Glenbridge Nursing Home on 02/28/2018. She had an episode last night of chest pain. She is so ebullient and distracted that it is hard to get a straight history, it came on when she was asleep but she may been sitting up. She was seen by a nurse, a sat was taken. I am not sure if there were other orders taken, but there is none on the chart. She says that she spent most of this morning in the bed and still feels tired, but she does not think she broke out in a sweat. She was more short of breath. She is calling it is a "stroke." I had tried to begin tapering her diazepam by discontinuing the morning dose and apparently all daytime clorazepate was discontinued by error and she gets it only at night.

“I had an appointment with him while I was in L.A. for the reunion, and I said, ‘Look, my endocrinologist says I’m pregnant, now I’m bleeding, I need to know what’s up.’ And he was like, ‘Well, we did an ultrasound, we did a urine sample and we did a blood test. Everything is coming back that you’re not pregnant.'”

As a nurse, I would prioritize by who is at risk for an emergent situation. I would prioritize the following:

On January 5, 2009 my father pasted away. He and I did not have the typical father-son relationship; we did not have a relationship at all. I presumed that it would have a little if any affect on me. However, as the semester continued, it seemed to get worse. Besides my father’s passing, several weeks later my grandmother was diagnosed with dementia. It was difficult for me to deal with, but it was more difficult for my mother to handle.

I covered every inch of myself, so now I could only see thru the misshapen opening of my hood. I slowly waded thru the slush of snow. I shoved my hand into the pockets of my coat, desperately trying to keep them warm. Ever since I was a kid, I feared hypothermia. I was so afraid of losing my fingers and toes to the point where I rather just lose the whole arm, instead of just one finger.

As often happens in Ohio, the weather had been up and down in temperature all week and what had been snow melted and re-froze multiple times, creating a slippery path to the building. Looking down at the ground as I walked I did my best to miss the icy patches that were steadily being covered by the light dusting of snow as it continued to fall. Halfway to the door and nearly under the protection of the entryway- which is covered by a roof- I looked up. But then suddenly instead of seeing the front door, welcoming me with the inside light which from the cold, dark morning looked like the golden sun in the distance; I

A CRNA has much responsibility in the hospital setting and also the outpatient setting depending on the area. Most CRNA 's have Anesthesiologist working above one. A CRNA that works in a hospital setting has many areas to specialize in, such as cardiology, orthopedics, epidurals, general surgery, pediatrics/neonatal. This role differs from other nursing roles in many ways. A CRNA meets with the patients and gives the patient medication to sleep. The CRNA will monitor the patient’s hemodynamic measures during the procedure and titrate medication based on patient’s response to surgery. A Nurse Anesthetist must further one’s education to a masters or now a doctorate degree. An RN that is pursuing this degree needs to have at least one year of Intensive care unit experience, or Emergency room at a level one trauma center. Acute care is important because patients in this setting can change dramatically very quick. The nurse has to know how to deal with a patient that is critical. The reason that one needs this experience is because a nurse working in the icu works under stressful conditions with critical patients. administering anesthetics is critical because one has to monitor the patient, and anything could change in a heartbeat. A nurse that has acute care experience has learned Advanced cardiac life support, ECG monitoring, hemodynamic values, and have worked with an acute care multi disciplinary team to treat the patient.

D-The patient arrived on time to meet with this writer. Reported stability on his current dose, but requested to decrease his dose by 2mgs bi-weekly; stop at 10mgs as he wishes to be stabilized at a lower dose. Then this writer and the patient completed the patient's treatment plan as it is currently due on 02/27/2017. The patient briefly discussed his aftercare plans after he leaves treatment and also, his plans to take ownership of his mother's condo in East Hartford, CT.

Listed below are two websites that I utilize to keep myself up to date with new research and studies that are being utilized in todays medicine. These websites help me to not only better promote the over all health of my patients but teaches me how to better educate my patients on disease prevention.

A therapeutic relationship between a nurse and patient requires listening with an open mind and heart, identifying their mind, body, and spiritual needs, accept differences, and believe that a patient can holistically care for themselves (McBride & Andrews, 2013). Through a holistic approach, the interaction can result in goals to implement healthy actions geared toward wellness, such as, engaging in nature and healthy eating to reduce stress. Also, my patient’s interaction during the assessment allowed me to recognize that although the patient’s belief system differed, in order to promote holistic goals, it required acceptance and caring for the patient’s individuality (McBride & Andrews, 2013). This means to reach a person, a nurse has to engage with presence of the patient and herself. It is not unusual for people to try and change another person to believe as they do be so for their benefit. This is done with thoughtful and helpful intention. But actually, the ability to become a complete person in mind, body, and soul lies within themselves and their own discovery. With a

A consecutive series of patients who had undergone anatomically successful MH closure and were followed for at least 6 months postoperatively were enrolled in this study.

Death is a universal part of life. Everyone will eventually experience it. Nurses play an integral role with their patients when it comes to dealing with bereavement, grief, and mourning. Nurses provide bereavement care by listening to patients, helping them express their emotions, and involving them in the entire process. Nurses frequently tend to the emotional needs of their patients, but not their own, which can result in nurse burn-out. Nurses are expected to be resilient when it comes to death, but when they sweep their emotions under the rug to get on with the day and are not given the resources needed to grieve successfully, how can they achieve this?

As a caregiver, the role of the nurse involves much more than the physiological care that most people think of as being the sole duties of a nurse. A good nurse provides patient care that is holistic, which encompasses the physiological, spiritual, mental and cultural aspects of each individual patient (Sharon, 2014). It is a process of healing that involves the mind, body and spirit. To meet all the needs of a patient, the nurse utilizes holistic care to assist in managing the patient’s illness, symptoms, health, healing and function which is necessary for overall health (Potter, Perry, Stockert & Hall, 2013).
