A 49 year old man who goes by the name of Martin was admitted into hospital with fractures in his left tibia and fibula and clavicle that he endured from a motor accident he was involved in. It is reported that there was a total of 146,322 personal injury road traffic accidents in the UK in 2014. (Department for Transport 2015). Surgery has been scheduled for Martin within the next day or two to fix the fractures he received in the accident; he is in a lot of pain. A fracture is to break a part, especially a bone (Weller, Pratt, and Barbara F 2014). Martin also mentioned that he has been feeling stressed recently from working a lot of overtime he is the bread winner in his home. In order to meet Martins health needs, provide person centered care and a range of services, a variety of professionals from the multidisciplinary team will be involved in his care delivery using a model of care (Roper-Logan-Tierney Model of Care 1996).
A model of care is provided because nursing models gives a good sense of direction to patient care. The goals of Martins care plan are agreed between the nurse, the patient and the family. In doing this it will give Martin some control over his

Martin could think will my break mend? Will I have the capacity to return to work? In the event that he can't work who will pay for his medical bills? Martin might think who will take care of him at home? What happens when his cash runs out? Will he require carers at home? In what capacity would he be able to deal with the stairs at home? Will he need a wheelchair? There are such a large number of variables that happened in the accident that can change his way of life. The hospital can provide a number of services to Martin so that it will relieve his stress and give him some piece of

A care relationship is special and requires skill, trust and understanding. This essay will elaborate how the quality of that relationship affects the quality of the care given and the experiences felt in receiving care. These different relationships will depend on the type of care given, who the care is given by and what sort of previous existing relationship there was to begin with. For a good care relationship to work it needs to follow the 5 K101 principles of care practice which are 'support people in maximising their potential','support people in having a voice and being heard','respect people's beliefs and preferences','support people's rights to appropriate services' and 'respect people's privacy and right to confidentiality'.(K101,Unit 4,p.183). If all of these needs are met a far exceptional quality of relationship between the carer and care receiver will be achieved.
This essay will critically analyse Care Programme Approach (CPA) assessment and care plan in an OSCE I undertook. By utilising the CPA and sources of current literature, I hope to demonstrate my knowledge and understanding in relation to this skill as well as identifying areas with scope for learning.
Under a dispersed model of care if I was a 63-year old experiencing chest pain, and I did not have a regular provider, I would be able to go directly to the cardiac surgeon at the medical school. The dispersed model of care is the traditional health care organization model in the United States (Bodenheimer & Grumbach, 2012). The dispersed model does not have strict organization like the regionalized model does, and people can go to a specialist of their choice without seeing their provider first (Bodenheimer & Grumbach, 2012). There are also overlapping roles, as primary care providers are taking on secondary care functions by providing inpatient care on top of their primary care functions that they are supposed to be fulfilling (Bodenheimer
...r investigation and then devise a plan for best possible action recognizing the rights of the patient and its benefits followed by the application of the chosen intervention with positive outcome in mind (Wells, 2007). Delivery of excellent and quality of care at constant level (NMC, 2008) must be marked in any responsibilities and duties of the care provider to promote exceptional nursing practice
People have created a hectic and busy world, that includes careers and daily activities that require physical activity. While attempting to attain the required physical conditioning, people often take chances with their personal health as they try to stretch their physical limits. Sometimes, people can surpass their current limits and form new boundaries; however, other times people are not so fortunate. These unfortunate times often lead to injury, including workplace accidents, sporting incidents, disease afflictions, as well as others; any or all of which could bring about the need of rehabilitation services. Many of these require physical therapy, which includes assisting injured or otherwise impaired patients as they recover to their pre-injury status or to recover as much as is physically possible. The field of physical therapy is a choice career for those who enjoy helping people recover from injury, and the following text will provide reason for choosing this profession.
There are many models available including Roper Logan Tierney (RLT) (1996).The RLT model, which my portfolio is based, offers a framework for nurses to be able to ensure that individuality is taken into account when undertaking nursing care. In order to ensure that all aspects of an individual's life are integrated into an effective plan of care, Roper at al (1996) uses a problem solving approach and the nursing process in conjunction with their model for nursing.
You may be broken now, but if you heal correctly, you could come back better than you were before. The most important outcome for me is that my patients have gotten the best care they could have received and they have recovered to the fullest extent and for my patients I would like them to know that their injury does not define them, it is what happens after that that matters the most. The methods that I would want to use would be pushing my clients to always work hard for what they want to achieve; Granted, there are different injuries so each one will be handled in a different way. For example, if a client comes in with a torn ligament in their arm, it is not going to be an easy process for them. My job just does not involve making sure my clients heal, but also motivating them not to give up and to always see the brighter side of their injury.
Since 2003, the Quality-Caring Model© has been revised to meet the demands of a complex, interdependent, and global health care system that “requires a more sophisticated workforce, one that understands the significance of systems thinking, whose practice is based on knowledge, multiple and oftentimes competing connections, and one that values relationships as the basis for actions and decision-making” (Duffy, 2009, p.192). In this revised version, the link between caring relationships and quality care is even more explicit, challenging the nursing profession to use this knowledge in daily practice. The revised model is considered a middle-range theory because it draws on others’ work.
Problem solving is when there is a problem or issue that needs to be resolved. When there is a problem with a patient the nursing staff needs to try and resolve it to make all parties satisfied. When trying to solve a problem, keep in mind about the core attribute safeguarding patients autonomy. In this core attribute, it involves the patient wanting to be involved in their health care plan, as well as make their own decisions as long as they are competent. (Bu & Jezewski, 2006) Once the problem is identified the nursing staff along with the patient, need to form a plan or possible goals that will help solve the problem. There will be many problems that can’t be complete...
Jean Watson is a well-respected American nursing theorist who created the Theory on Human Caring. Watson’s concept on caring for a human being is simple, yet has much depth and meaning, and holds strong for nurses to work with compassion, wisdom, love, and caring. The Theory on Human Caring is necessary for every nurse, as it is our job to care for others in a genuine and sensitive way. The theory is extensive; its core foundation is based on nine concepts all interrelated and primarily focused on a nurse giving a patient care with compassion, wisdom, love, and caring (Watson, J., 1999). The nine essential aspects consist of: values, faith-hope, sensitivity, trust, feelings, decision-making, teaching-learning, environment, and human needs. Watson also created the Caritas Process consists of ten different ways of giving care:
The current patient may be experiencing a range of traumatic injuries after his accident, the injuries that the paramedic will focus on are those that are most life threatening. These injuries include: a possible tension pneumothroax or a haemothorax, hypovolemic shock, a mild or stable pelvic fracture and tibia fibula fracture.
INTRODUCTION Americans today tend to believe that nursing care models around the world is under mounting pressure to improve efficiency in health care and to dominate the health care industry. For nursing care models to be successful depends on high-quality and low-cost of patient care delivery with the ultimate goal of achieving positive patient outcomes and patient satisfaction. With that said, Nursing care models provide the foundation for the delivery care to patients and families. Care delivery model consist of frameworks that describe health care organizations approach and delivery of patient care. The organization of care delivery models is determined by a variety of factors.
Many persons go into the healthcare ground because they want to work with people. For these nurses, it is the nurse-patient relationship that is one of the most significant things. By understanding the nurse-patient relationship, nurses can be better furnished to work with their patients and, eventually, deliver superior care for them. Hildegard Peplau's model of nursing emphases on that nurse-patient relationship and recognizes the diverse roles nurses take on when working with patients.
