In the movie “First Do No Harm,” there was a family that had a normal life style. All of this change when the smallest child Robbie was diagnosed with epilepsy. In the hospital that he was being treated there was some positive professional behaviors and some negative. One of the negative behaviors was that the doctor didn’t give the parents any choices on how treat Robbie. Every time Robbie would have a seizure doctor Abbasac would just gave him medications one after the other because of his reactions. Something else that was negative was that the hospital was refusing to treat Robbie because he didn’t have insurance but they shouldn't refuse medical service to someone who needs it. However, the nurse had a very positive professional behavior when treating Robbie. All of the times she was very empathetic and help to calm Robbie’s mom Lori. Another positive thing was that when she transferred Robbie to another hospital they treated him even though they didn’t have an appointment.
In this movie there were also positive and negative behaviors outside of the hospital. Something positive outside of the hospital was that Mar Jean which was the family’s neighbor or friend was always helping the family when it was needed. When the family was struggling with money she bought them food and put them in its place. Something negative was that when

This movie was able to demonstrate that when someone is diagnosed with a disorder in a family especially if is a child how it can affect the family. The parents could have more attention towards the child and forget that they have other kids that need them as well. There could also be tension between the mother and father because they might want to deal with everything a different way. The whole family just needs to be united and accommodate to have a new lifestyle where everyone is included in the
CC 1- The perception of the movie is the parents now need to better focus on the family and create an open flow of communication between the two of them. While the parents learn how to communicate with their spouse and how to raise another child, they will face changes to the prior family structure.
Nurses are central to patient care and patient safety in hospitals. Their ability to speak up and be heard greatly impacts their own work satisfaction and patient outcomes. Open communication should have been encouraged within the healthcare team caring for Tyrell. Open communication cultures lead to better patient care, improved outcomes, and better staff satisfaction (Okuyama, 2014). Promoting autonomy for all members of the healthcare team, including the patient and his parents, may have caused the outcome to have been completely different. A focus on what is best for the patient rather than on risks clinicians may face when speaking up about potential patient harm is needed to achieve safe care in everyday clinical practice (Okuyama,
As I was listening to Carol’s story, I realized that her story is one of many patients. Sure, she was lucky that her husband had advocated on her behalf when she was most vulnerable and she took over once she could but how many people could not? Juggling only two balls in the air becomes tricky once we name them “patient care” and “budget”. If we were to place Carol in an ideal hospital, would she have had the same expe...
The parents both had demanding jobs in the movie. The dad Phil had to travel to a conference and make the family move because of his job and the mom was constantly on the phone talking with the people she worked for. Having a child with a disability did not make things any easier the mother had to pay and take her child Turner to therapy to help improve his stuttering disability. It seemed as if the mom was always running in the film to she had to take Harper to violin practice, Barker had playdates, and Turner had baseball and
Dan and Betsy go through their emotions on hearing about Samuel condition of cerebral palsy. The roll coaster of emotion they felt. As a parent I could relate to their emotion of having a child with disabilities. I would love my child regards of condition but the emotion I would feel would be fear. Dan and Betsy both went through fear; asking themselves what about his education, and interaction with others. I would have those same question; as
Juno and the adoptive father begin to have a strange relationship and eventually he admits to Juno that he is leaving his wife to live in the city. Juno is heartbroken, as is the adoptive mother. Juno then drops off a note to the adoptive mother that says "If you're still in, I'm still in". In the end, she gives the baby to the adoptive mother, makes-up with boyfriend Paulie, and decides not to be a part of the baby's life. The health challenge faced in this film is pregnancy and there are both physical and psychosocial effects that arise on both the client and the family. In this movie, the area of priority a nurse should plan holistic care would be psychosocial as pregnancy effects not only the client but the people around the client. In the following paper, nursing intervention, interprofessional collaborative care and community resources will be provided to help find solutions to decrease the client and support systems changes throughout the
- Nurse should place the patients well being above their personal beliefs and values. They should focus on treating the patient and making sure the patient’s needs are being met. This also means that tough decisions have to be made in the process whether it goes against what the health care team wants or it goes against what Mrs. Dawson wants.
...mprovement in communication between the healthcare team responsible for Josie's care and through healthcare providers providing increased advocacy for patient safety. Moral courage did not play a role in Josie's medical care because the nurse administered the methadone to her despite her mother's wishes and had caused her a life-threatening complication. Pain, suffering, and compassion were all relevant to Josie's case. I learned a lot by reading Josie's Story which includes the importance of patient advocacy, communication between healthcare professionals, and the disclosure of adverse events. I was thoroughly enjoyed reading this story because it helped me to understand my role as a healthcare provider in advocating for patient safety and reducing medical errors. I plan to use everything that I learned from this story to implement into my future nursing practice.
... joy Mrs. L got from seeing her cat. Health in this scenario is shown mostly notably when Mrs. L got relief from Morphine and stated she knew she was going to die but felt “ok for now”. Health in this case was measured by an improvement in pain and not an absence of illness. Finally, nursing in this scenario is exemplified in many ways. In the paragraph above I begin by ensuring the patient’s confidentiality. Mrs. L was placed at the center of care. I collaborated with other nurses and all those in the environment to assure the best care possible. Through direct care, teaching and advocacy I delivered the exact type of care I would wish for myself, or someone I loved, if I were in Mrs. L’s place.
In critical and complicating medical cases, family members often find it tedious to decide as to what mode or procedure of treatment is idyllic for the recovery of their patient. In such cases, well-qualified and medically educated can play a pivotal role in deciding the kind of treatment that should be given to the patient to enhance its recovery. In a contrary situation a nurse may know that administering a particular drug may improve the patient’s condition, but may be refrained from conducting the required action due to doctor’s absence or non-permission. There are numerous cases through which ethical dilemmas in the profession of nursing can be discussed. Nurses in order to remain within the defined boundaries ...
It 's not always about how things look on the outside, but more about your inner self. More about getting those individuals to believe in themselves.The film helped me to see the value of building up self esteem. I know in math some of the kids that say they don’t like math just had a bad experience with it. Usually I’ll try and give them something simple just to start to let them feel a sense of accomplishment. Then I usually will continue to build from there. This film never gets old. It’s still very relatable today and a young audience would be able to see themselves in any of those characters. This film reminded me that kids are coming to class with many different experiences, emotional phases, as well as insecurities. I must remain cognizant of them along with continuing to be that positive role model they need. I would recommend this film to anyone that has kids they would like to keep encouraged as well the ones they believe are
This movie was inspiring and encouraging to anyone who is struggling with something. Overcoming his controversies in life became the main point of the movie. Knowing that this movie was based upon a true story inspires the people even more.
Full Movie, n.d). In the modern healthcare system, the changes in the ethics and professionalism as provided by the nursing code of ethics is relevant. Therefore, some individuals within the system may take time to accept the transformations and some may be unaware that change exists. Eventually, they end up noticing the change later as well as what is required of them as stated in the code of ethics. In one example, the code of ethics within the nursing professionalism necessitates that the nurse has to be willing to overlook certain aspects (social, career, and familial relationships) to aid the patient in full recovery. There are numerous alterations in the nursing code, and what is taught in medical school; therefore, the previously educated nurses should be aware of the modifications. A nurse known as Sarah had worked within the healthcare system for more than fifty years. Within her tenure, she experienced numerous changes in the code of ethics and what is taught within the system (Saver, 2006). By the time she could adjust the trends in alterations, it was late; hence, difficult for her to keep up with
This film challenged my previous thoughts of bipolar disorder and took me into personal accounts of people suffering from this horrible disorder. I learned that individuals that are diagnosed with bipolar disorder are not the same and have different experiences of how the disease affected their life. I was honestly shocked at the fact that a disease in the brain can make you go into a manic state of mind and then fall into a deep depression. One of the most eye opening parts in the film was when Cheri was going to a client’s house and had to look into the mirror before she went in and told herself to put on her game face and transform into a chipper, perky version of herself because she was feeling down. This made me realize that people around you can be suffering from depression or other mental diseases around you and you can be completely unaware because the symptoms can be
Not only does this movie deal with the issues of society, but it points to biblical scriptures that help lead us in the right direction. The biggest lesson that this film taught me was that if I put my complete faith in God, then no matter what happens, he will provide, watch over, and take care of me. I learned that expressing belief in God is not enough. I have to live everyday believing and trusting him and I have to show my trust and faith through my actions and my words.
