  • The Shadow Of Illness Case Study

    1387 Words  | 3 Pages

    Mrs. Farrington was constantly worrying about allowing him out of the house or be with other kids. The hospital constantly kept correcting this behavior by stating that she needs to allow him to be like other kids but sometimes it was her first instinct to prevent hospitalization. Mainly Cody is hospitalized due to weight loss or to clean mucus out of his lungs completely. Unlike Mrs. Farrington who has to deal with the medical treatments daily, her husband is in more denial. When Cody becomes sick he understands to call the hospital but Mr. Farrington has no understanding of Cody’s medicine and such. Though studies have shown that children who are cared by their mother recover faster and are discharged earlier, Mr. Farrington behavior is very concerning (Family-Centered Care and the Pediatrician’s Role, 692). He avoids the topic overall by working constantly. Mrs. Farrington finds this behavior to be strange because if something negative happened to her, Mr. Farrington needs to know these treatments, so they aren’t neglected or performed incorrectly. However, this arrangement between the parents is not very healthy because the stress of Cody condition is completely Mrs. Farrington burden. This makes Mrs. Farrington struggle giving her other children the fair attention they deserve as

    Also, the whole family needs to come to term with the health condition, make change in priorities and schedule, and keep the family. For example, it can be much more stressful for a young or a newly married couple because they may have more experience to overcome life's difficulties. As a result, as with individual maturation, family development can be delayed or even revert to a previous level of functioning (Hockenberry, p 762.) Therefore, health care providers need to apply family development theory while planning care for a child and family with chronic health condition. Indeed, family centered care should be a part of that intervention. Parents and family members have huge and comprehensive caregiving responsibilities for their chronically ill child at home or at hospital. Moreover, the main goal taking care of chronic ill child is to “minimize the progression of the disease and maximize the child’s physical, cognitive, psychological potential” (Hockenberry, p 763). Therefore, it is essential to family being part of the child care to give highest quality of care. On the other hand, we are as a part of the health care provider need to give attention to all

    Each morning before school I took him to the hospital where he received blood transfusions or chemotherapy to treat the lymphoma that was destroying his body. After school, I raced home to complete my homework so that I could later go to his apartment. There I cooked meals, cleaned up, and administered his oral and intravenous medications. Working with IVs became second nature to me. I found myself familiar with the names of drugs like Cytovene, used to treat CMV, Neupogen, to raise one's white blood cell count, and literally countless others.

  • Theories Of Comfort In Nursing

    1115 Words  | 3 Pages

    Pediatric care is extremely individualized with the treatment plan for each child, families are highly encouraged to participate in goal setting, and the type of care is proactive with the intention of family-centered education (DiMarco & Kolcaba, 2005). The comfort theory can be intervened with all age groups. Some interventions that may be used to comfort a child or family during a stressful time are social, psychospiritual, environmental, and physical (Dimarco & Kolcaba, 2005). An example of each are; social, avoidance of using the word pain, psychospiritual, during a simple procedure you may have the parent present, environmental, utilization of a treatment room instead of the patients room, and physical, comfort of the patient with procedures and in bed (DiMarco & Kolcaba, 2005). Comfort is able to provide the patient with a positive outcome that encourage them and their families to commit themselves to health-seeking behaviors (DiMarco & Kolcaba,

  • Essay On Doctors Of Osteopathy

    443 Words  | 1 Pages

    Besides their other medical studies, osteopathic students get 200 hours of training in "osteopathic manipulative medicine," a hands-on technique for diagnosis and healing. Limited motion in the lower ribs, for instance, can cause pain in the stomach that seems a lot like irritable bowel syndrome. Identifying the muscle strain in the ribs through manipulation, and then treating it, can relieve the stomach distress. An osteopath learns to apply specific amounts of pressure on a body part, attempting to relax it or stimulate it. While such an approach might have raised eyebrows in the profession a decade or two ago, these days almost no one--except perhaps the crustiest old M.D.'s--dismisses it as New Age nonsense. Manipulative medicine is based on the not terribly heretical idea that structures in the body influence function, and that a problem in the structure of one body part can cause problems in the function of other parts.

It is a disorder in which the “soft connective tissue progressively turns to bone.” It is a very rare, and painful disorder. It affects about one person out of 2 million, it is so rare that it can sometimes even be misdiagnosed for other diseases and disorders. Some disorders that FOP is mistaken for would be Juvenile Fibromatosis, Lymphedema, or soft tissue sarcomas. Since it is commonly misdiagnosed, it is also mistreated, and can lead to even more harm for the patient. Because flare-ups can occur with “Muscle or connective tissue trauma, Intramuscular vaccinations, dental work, bumps, bruises or even falls.” The cause of this disease is believed to be “linked to a mutation in activin receptor IA/activin-like kinase 2 (ACVR1/ALK2) a bone morphogenic protein (BMP) type I receptor.

  • Occupational Therapy Essay

    When interacting with parents and their child, we should speak in a warm, caring, patient, and professional tone. Parents that we will interact with will not only be experiencing the same vulnerability and exhaustion that all new parents experience, but may also be nervous or fearful for their child. As OT professionals we should provide as much relevant medical information as possible in a professional and empathetic manner. At times we may have to reassure the parent that we and any associated healthcare team will do all we can to help. A health literacy assessment can be given to the parent so we can provide instructions in ways they will understand and be able to implement proper care for their child. Repeating important information at the beginning and end of therapy sessions will help to ensure that the caregiver understands. When providing parents with essential information we should practice the “teach back technique”, as we learned in class, to confirm their understanding. We should do our best to be available to answer any questions that the parent or care giver may have. Because infants learn through play, pamphlets that provide information about a diagnosis, or play activities designed to help encourage an infant’s growth may be very helpful. Parents of infants with specific diagnoses may benefit from individual or group therapy. Providing positive emotional resources to the parent of an infant will help them to fulfill their child’s
