Hello Nadine, this email is to follow-up with the message I left on your telephone voice mail. I received a phone call from Elena, who expressed the nursing director Mr. Gordon would not allow her to see the patient in light of the fact that the patient was still being skilled. According to our record, the patient was admitted to Avante of Lake worth on December 1, 2017, the patient was placed on cc December 3, 2017. I talked with Mr. Gordon the DON, who expressed that nobody informed him that the patient was on Vitas. There was a doctor order on their chart to admit the patient to Vitas yet he maintained that nobody spoke with any of the staff at the nursing home regarding the patient admission to Vitas. I inquired as to whether the Vitas

    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

  • Pros And Cons Of Interprofessional Communication

    Within the scenario, there was a lack of communication between the resident and nurse. There were no established principles for communication on the unit. Nurses could write on a bulletin board if they had a non-urgent matter to discuss with the doctors. The other method for communicating with doctors was to directly page them. Interprofessional rounds occur only once a week which does not account for the communication required between the doctor and nurse on a daily basis. There were no other formal communication methods for when doctors can speak to nurses. Nurses hear from doctors if they happened by chance to have seen the doctor, by word of mouth from other members, or from orders. The resident in the scenario did not seek out the nurse for second opinions and did not let her know about discharge plans. Thus, there was a lack of communication about care

    The window was cold to the touch. The glass shimmered as the specks of sunlight danced, and Blake stood, peering out. As God put his head to the window, at once, he felt light shining through his soul. Six years old. Age ceased to define him and time ceased to exist. Silence seeped into every crevice of the room, and slowly, as the awe of the vision engulfed him, he felt the gates slowly open. His thoughts grew fluid, unrestrained, and almost chaotic. An untouched imagination had been liberated, and soon, the world around him transformed into one of magnificence and wonder. His childish naivety cloaked the flaws and turbulence of London, and the imagination became, to Blake, the body of God. The darkness lingering in the corners of London slowly became light. Years passed by, slowly fading into wisps of the past, and the blanket of innocence deteriorated as reality blurred the clarity of childhood.

  • Why The Creature That Opened My Eyes Of Frankenstein

    The Creature That Opened My Eyes Sympathy, anger, hate, and empathy, these are just a few of the emotions that came over me while getting to know and trying to understand the creature created by victor frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For the first time I became completely enthralled in a novel and learned to appreciate literature not only for the great stories they tell but also for the affect it could have on someones life as cliché as that might sound, if that weren’t enough it also gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the idiom “never judge a book by its cover.” As a pimply faced, insecure, loner, and at most times self absorbed sophomore in high school I was never one to put anytime or focus when it came time
