Virginia Beach Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center located close to the Oceanfront, caters to mostly older adults, although there are patients who can be in their lower twenties. Many of the patients stay within the facility for the rest of their lives. However, some patients are rehabilitated until they have recovered or they can move to another location, such as a home facility.
Cindy Halonski, one of the recreation therapists, gives every patient who comes in a welcome page. This paper lists information such as different rooms such as the courtyards, different activities available, where a television is located and letting the patients know that there is also a beauty shop on location. While this welcome sheet is not required, it introduces beforehand what is available and the patient can be reminded by looking at the page.
All patients must have an Oral History Interview by a certain time period (the current one must be done by December). The purpose, according to the paper, is to get to know the patient better. It goes through different aspects of an individual’s life. The interview paper is divided into three categories: Childhood, Adulthood, and Life Interpretation which are then further divided. The oral history is another way to build rapport with a patient and find out more about them than what a CTRS can get from a medical chart or from an assessment.
All assessments given at the Virginia Beach Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center do not come from the Assessment Tools for Recreation Therapy and Related Fields. Due to funding and what patients’ health insurance will cover, all assessments are provided by the MDS3. MDS3, which previously was the MDS2, is Medicare Documentation. Halonski stresses the point that some...

...ess to a van, administration is a bit hesitant. I feel that a van would be beneficial because it opens the doorway to other activities that cannot be provided at the facility. For some of the healthier, long term patients, it may be the first time they have had in a long time to see beyond the grounds of the building. It can lead to new experiences and be as therapeutic as working within the center. I know that the assessments cannot be changed due to the MDS, however I feel that the Monthly Activities Participation Record can be changed. I think that this particular part can be redone to make the sheet easier to understand. Especially considering that the sheet itself is rather hard to read and some of the activities had to be handwritten in. I did however think that having a welcome flyer was a wonderful idea and I hope that they continue using that in the future.
The Outsiders by SE Hinton is a great coming-of-age novel that is about gangs, violent but also at the same time about love and brother ship. In the book, the society suddenly thinks the greasers, Pony, Johnny and Dally, are heroes. That really got me thinking. What is a hero?
This author met with a patient named JB to assess her current health status as well as her needs to ensure her health and well being or as she put it to “make sure she is her in the future for her children”. JB was an engaging and honest patient that had the eagerness and desire to improve her curren...
Johnny is a hero because of bravery like Ponyboy. For example when Johnny killed Bob he did it to save Ponyboy. If you killed someone you'd need to be brave to do it. After that event Johnny and Ponyboy went to the old abandoned church on Jay Mountain to hide. They left the church with Dally and went to Dairy Queen to talk. When they were talking Johnny said he was going to turn himself in. That was a brave decision because he could be executed. Next they went back to the church and as they pulled up they saw the church was on fire. They ran into the church to rescue the kids, even though they could have
Johnny was one of the main greasers who was a hero. One of the reasons Johnny was a hero is because he helped Ponyboy, the main character, to save the kids in a burning church. He went in first even though the adults and Dally told him not to. Also Johnny let Ponyboy get out of the church first so he got paralyzed instead of Ponyboy. Also Ponyboy said that Johnny listened to everyone's problems when they were feeling bad, and Ponyboy said he was kind of like the gangs pet. Two-bit
The Outsiders by S.E Hinton enriches the characters by heightening their following context. Following this, Johnny Cade a flat character is the most affected by his surroundings. His traditional background is living in home, with an abusive father, and neglectful mother. Up next, our revolving character in the story, Ponyboy. Ponyboy’s Background consists of having deceased parents. He lives with two brothers Darry, and Sodapop, and is the youngest out of the Greasers. Moving on, Darry is most mature character in the novel. He grew up early to compensate his parent’s death. He adapted to surroundings, and put his brothers first. The setting is a factor that affects the characters, emotions, actions, and thought process.
Medical practice interviews and site visits included a rehabilitation facility, an out-patient dialysis clinic, a dental practice office, and a site visit to a men’s shelter for free dental services by the above dental staff. These practices all provided diet, health, and wellness education for
There is a hero in us all. A hero is someone who risks their own life to save or do good for others. Ponyboy is a hero because he risked his life to save children from a burning church. Johnny is a hero even though he killed someone it was to save his friend’s life but he also saved children from a burning church. Dally has been arrested, picks fights, and drinks, but when it comes to the people he is close with he has his soft spots for them. All bad boys have a good side.
Is there really a hero in The Outsiders. A hero is someone who saved the life of one or many people by risking their own life. Johnny is one of those people. Johnny is a person who is very shy until he starts standing up for himself and does things he never thought he would do. Johnny is the hero because he didn’t just save the life of one but of multiple people,he would do anything for his buddies, and he listens and comprehends people that is a real hero.
Johnny Cade - Johnny is Pony's closest friend and the gang's pet. They are especially protective of him since he is smaller than the rest, his father beats him, and he is afraid to walk the streets alone after being attacked by a group of Socs.
Recent research has suggested that most important management role in rehabilitation counseling is that of helping returning veterans find employment the reason being is that more than 50% of all returning disabled veterans don’t go back to their previous employment or can’t even find employment (Frain, Bethel & Bishop, 2010). The third concept in the roadmap is that of rehabilitation counselors need to manage the safety and the overall quality of life for the veteran when they return home from action (Frain, Bethel & Bishop, 2010). The reason for this concept in this roadmap is to make sure that the military veteran is on good path in life (Frain, Bethel & Bishop, 2010). By sometimes the rehabilitation counselors must manage the life of the veteran by making sure they exercises every day or making sure they show up for the appointments with the counselor (Frain, Bethel & Bishop,
This piece of work will be based on the pre-assessment process that patients go through on arrival to an endoscopy unit in which I was placed during my second year studying Adult Diploma Nursing. I will explore one patient’s holistic needs, identifying the priorities of care that the patient requires; I will then highlight a particular priority and give a rationale behind this. During an admission I completed under the supervision of my mentor, I was pre-assessing a 37 year old lady who had arrived at the unit for an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. During the pre-assessment it was important that a holistic assessment is performed as every patient is an individual with unique care needs as the patient outlined in this piece of work has learning disabilities it was imperative to identify any barriers to communication (Nursing standards 2006). There were a number of nursing priorities identified, the patient also has hypertension.

The Outsiders is a phenomenal novel by S.E Hinton. Firstly, The Outsiders is about family, friends and looking out for each other. For example, Darry is hard on Ponyboy and Soda but he only does it cause he’s looking out for them, they’re the only family he has left. Secondly The Outsiders is about heroism, Greasers are not a cold hearted gang, they care and help other people out. In one of the scenes Johnny and Ponyboy save kids from a burning church, risking there lives. Thirdly The Outsiders is about growing up and that innocents can be lost at any moment. When Ponyboy and Johnny were at the park everything was normal, until they killed bob at the fountain, then from that moment on everything changed. In conclusion, I recommend
Health history is designed to assess the effects of health care deviations on the patient and the family, to evaluate teaching needs, and to serve as a basis of an individualized plan for addressing wellness (miller-Keane, 2003). The primary purpose of health history is to attempt to find out as much about each patient as possible, so that health personnel can treat the patient safely and
The first thing I notice when I walk in to the center on an early Monday afternoon is the smell, that acute smell of spray-on cleaning solution used in hospitals. Everything is completely static clean, and the entrance lobby reminds me off my dentists’ office. Tasteful blue chairs and maroon couches surround a large waiting area in full view of a receptionists’ desk on the side. The magazines on the coffee table are of the inconsequential type, stuff like “Parenthood” and “Popular Mechanic.” A couple people are casually waiting; pleasant, normal looking people. The whole effect is of a pleasant doctor’s practice, and on first look you would never be able to tell that this is the waiting room for a chemical dependence treatment center. A rehab center.
