Such is to say that the nurse will be the single greatest resource to the patient and that through this professional, all other necessary resources are channeled. Essentially, this denotes that the relationship established between the patient and nurse will itself be the most valuable resource in combating a condition or improving the subject's health and well-being.
Why should nurse monitors responses of patients throughout each intervention and how should nurse adjusts care accordingly
In such theories as Margaret Newman's "Health as Expanding Consciousness" model, it is clear that the decisions which a nurse must make will be based on the convergence of scholarly nurse and individualized attention. This latter quality especially must define the role that the nurse plays in health intervention on the patient's behalf. Conjecturing that a nurse will provide a specific emotional connection and psychic closeness to patient's who are contending with the absence of certainty, the physical debilitation or the long-term mortality related to chronic illness, Newman's model illustrates that in such cases of intractable affliction, the theoretical approach taken by the nurse will bear as instrumental an impact as will the proficiency of medical attention offered. (Newman, 1) Here, it can be evidenced that the empathy accorded by the theoretical...
Thus, as a nurse seeks an individualized role as part of a patient's support system, this umbrella may serve as a needed constant. For the patient, the nurse can be a vessel for hope, optimism and emotional girding.
Why should nurse provides education and support to assist development and maintenance of independent living skills and how
It is important that a nurse provides the patient not just with care for treatment of a condition but with the knowledge and will to maintain one's own health and well-being. Lifestyle intervention is often a crucial part of outpatient treatment. Following hospitalization or other such care experiences, the patient should be armed with the necessary knowledge and education to maintain a lifestyle governed by now-apparent health needs. By providing a patient with an exercise regimen, offering extensive nutritional counsel and helping to identify risk factors to be eliminated, the nurse can help the patient not just to recover from a condition but to prevent the need for future hospitalization.

When this happens, they will be effective in reaching out to different patients (from a host of backgrounds). This is the point that the underlying quality of care will improve. As a result, I have learned how to apply these concepts to real world health care environments. This will help in day-to-day practices by preparing me for the new challenges that will be faced on a continuing basis. Recommendations /
Advance Directives should include documented patient decisions about health care, which should be honored (Advanced practice in nursing: ethical and role issues in end-of-life care, 2004). As medical knowledge and technology increase, so do options for healthcare. When decisions arise concerning the treatment of dying patients, these options present complex ethical dilemmas. Many are faced with decisions about the best treatment to ease a patient's final suffering (End of Life Care:
This is done for the purpose of having a safe and workable discharge plan. The nurse uses their experience and assessment skills reviewing the patient's current course, past medical history and what family or friend support there is outside the hospital (Case Management, 2009). Case management in the home setting is designed with the same goals in mind as case management in the acute care setting. The role of home
b. The nurse must ascertain the status of a health care proxy and other mandates by the patients request such as DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) orders, etc. c. The mental stability of the patient may need to be reviewed to ascertain whether such decision by the patient can be made according to hospital policy, state and federal laws. Interpretation: 4: The issue of informed consent and/or refusal has several dimensions when dealing with
Combined with the widespread entry of women into the labor force, an aging population, and minimal assistance for high quality long-term care at the end of life, these economic and social conditions raise a set of difficult policy questions for health services planning. Set in these broad contexts, this paper situates access to and experience of health services in the home, the hospital, and nursing facility, to demonstrate how
