I cared for a 76-year-old end-staged chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder patient who was admitted for respiratory distress. The doctor requested that my nurse and I get the family together for a family meeting. During the meeting, the doctor communicated to the patient and his family members that the patient will be palliative and no longer be in the ICU. The family members were concerned about the transfer of care to the medicine unit, what to expect from palliative care and other options for care. This scenario did not go well because the patient and family would have benefited from a palliative nurse with expertise, respiratory therapist to discuss other options, pharmacist about medication change if needed, social worker to help guide the family through end of life care for their father. In addition, there was no collaboration with interprofessionals prior to the family
According to the case “I love you… forever” the conflict was between Nancy Masters and her boyfriend, Joe Jerque. It was a personal conflict between two mutually coexist friends that live together with in the same house. For this reason there was no responsibility the clinic to take the action against Joe, because he was not the employee of the clinic as well as there was no incidence within the clinic concerning their disputes. However, the clinic may encourage Nancy to report the incidence and protect herself as law permits. In addition to this, the clinic also has responsible to safeguard the environment surrounding the clinic and within the clinic too because there may be a violence. Again, clinic has to pay attention regarding Nancy because

Interesting post this week. In your opinion was there a great need for a separate need to have control over intelligence oversight? Historically, how could have civil liberties and questionable intelligence activities been protected and detected? “The impact of Gang of Eight notifications on the effectiveness of congressional intelligence oversight continues to be debated” (Erwin, 2013, 6). Over the years has Congressional Oversight provided the required influence to make the Intelligence Community (IC) effective? Protecting civil liberties and preventing questionable intelligence activities is of importance to the Congressional Oversight (Gill 2009, 83, 91). In your opinion, is Congressional Oversight providing the necessary protection to
There is wealthy families who are caregivers for a parent, and refuse to rotate the patient because they don’t want to disturb the parent during their sleep. However this is completely against the nurse’s advice, because the patient is covered in bed sores. No one on the patients care team wants to call EPS. Even though the social workers believe they should. Then there is another patient, whose caregiver is taking care of them, at minimal level, but the patient is taken care of. This patients SES is much lower than the previous patient mentioned. There was instantly and EPS call on this patient. The social workers do not believe the call should have been made. Just because one caregiver is wealthy there is no EPS call, but the other patient who is poor had an EPS call made. If Lia’s parents would have been American parents or just different parents, would Neil have made the call? Or did Neil make the call just because of who her parents were? His co-workers believed he made the wrong call because she was in a nurturing family and well taken care of otherwise. Chapter 8 goes on to explain what you think you know about someone turns out to not be the real case. The author realized once going into the home, the parents were not the people the medical staff
Patients seek medical attention from the nursing homes. There nursing homes get a large amount of financial aid on behalf of the government. The financial assistance is given in order to ensure that all the necessary health care facilities are available at the nursing homes. There are few fraud cases that have seemed to occur in the nursing homes. One of the fraud cases that is becoming very common in nursing homes is that the patients are charged wrong amounts for the services that they acquire from the nursing home. The patient generally comes with some disease to seek medical attention. The nursing home raises fraud cases by advising unnecessary tests and procedures to be done on the patients. These tests or procedures may not be required for the patient. As the patient is limited in knowledge, the tests and procedures are done on the patient while charging the patient with a heavy amount of bill. (LLP, 2016) The nursing homes does not cater the specific problems that ha been raised by the patient rather they start to encounter on more details that are unnecessary and not even needed by the patient. The case is about a nursing home in Washington that charges heavy amounts to the patient for unnecessary treatments and procedures. (PEAR,

Natty said that visits with RM are going well. RM comes frequently. That RM is the most supportive of Natty through this process and the most accepting. Natty still wants to live with RM. Natty does not like living at his paternal grandmother place but better than foster care. Natty has his own room. Natty leaves early and returns late in order to avoid everyone in the home. Natty’s grandmother says offensive comments to Natty and Natty responds by locking himself in his room. In the grandmother’s home Natty’s aunt, uncle, and cousin reside there as well. Natty said that they aren’t supportive of him at this time so he just does his best to avoid all of them. Natty said RF rarely visits. RF comes infrequently. Natty gave us permission to speak with RM around scheduling of appointments.
