1. Mr. Smith, a 57-year-old patient, presents at a health fair asking questions about the age-appropriate health maintenance and promotion considerations he should be concerned about. He stated that he only goes to his physician when he is sick and the last time he saw his physician was 2 years ago when he had a sinus infection. 

  1. What further assessment does the nurse need to make before designing a teaching plan?
  2. What topics does the nurse need to include for Mr. Smith based on current medical recommendations?
  3. Design a teaching plan that covers the topics.

2. The community health nurse is planning a health promotion workshop for a high school PTSO (Parent-Teacher-Student Organization). The choice of topics was suggested by the high school’s registered nurse who has observed a gradual increase in student obesity. The two nurses have collaborated to develop this workshop to provide parents, students, and teachers with information about the importance of health promotion. 

  1. Describe the importance of a focus on health promotion.
  2. According to the health promotion model developed by Becker (1993), what four variables influence the selection and use of health promotion behaviors?
  3. Describe four components of health promotion.

As the text states, having a newborn enter the household can be a trying time, to say the least! Here is an activity/discussion that will help you gain greater insight into both the pressures of the addition of a newborn, as well as effective techniques for dealing with this pressure. This week you will:

  1. Interview at least two parents (they could be your own) concerning the issues that they faced upon the birth of their child(ren). This interview should focus on both the problems encountered and effective solutions that the parents employed to deal with the problems.  Regardless of who you choose to interview, be sure to do each interview individually and privately. Some students do the interview through Facetime or Zoom.
  2. Find an interesting website that deals with a circumstance discussed in one of your interviews and provide the web address.
  3. Share results from these informal interviews by summarizing in the discussion board.
  4. Share the results from your research and tell us what you learned.  Be sure to include the websites you used.  Note:  To add a web page to a discussion thread type the title of the webpage, highlight and click on the paper clip above the text box, and copy the web address in the URL box and click insert link.  
  5. Read your fellow students’ posts and respond to at least 2 students in the class in a meaningful way. For confidentially reasons please never discuss the actual name(s) of the people you interview.   I look forward to reading about your experience!

CLINICAL CASE: # 3

Carrie Williams has been admitted to the Psychiatric Unit at Bayshores Treatment Facility. She is eight-and-one-half months pregnant and in a manic state. She has not slept for three days, is hyperactive and hypervoluble. When you come on duty, she is running all over the Day Room, jumping from chairs and standing on tables saying to everyone: “I am Cicely Tyson and I will perform for you. My agent wants you to listen to me and come to see my movies. I’m going to Hollywood and if you treat me right I will take you along.”

Along with several other nurses, you decide the patient must be placed in seclusion for her protection and the safety of the fetus. Also, she is disrupting the Unit and upsetting the other patients. Tension in the Day Room is very high as Mrs. Williams climbs over the back of a sofa and almost falls over a table.

After being placed in seclusion, the patient rolls on the floor and bounces herself off the walls with her protruding stomach. The psychiatrist is notified and orders that liquid Haldol (an appropriate dosage for the patient) be injected into the patient’s sealed juice containers and that she be encouraged to drink the juice. As the nurse working with this patient what would you do? 

 Select one of the following actions and write a 200 – 300 word answer to explain your actions.  Refer to your textbook and the syllabus to obtain information on psychiatric patient rights.  This is not an opinion paper, your answer should be backed up with information you have obtained from your textbook ( USE OUTSIDE SOURCE ).

QUESTIONS:

CHOOSE ONE, WHICH EVER YOU CHOOSE

  1. Inject the Haldol into the patient’s juice and encourage her to drink it.
  2. Tell the physician if he wants the medication injected into the patient’s juice without her knowledge – he can do it.

Compare and contrast each of the three questions related to Managed Care Organizations, Medicare, and Medicaid with one another and explain how they were similar and different from each other.

  • Managed care organizations emphasize physicians’ responsibilities to control patient access to expensive hospitalization and specialty care, a principle dubbed “gatekeeping.” Some argue that “gatekeeping” is unethical because it introduces financial factors into treatment decisions. Others say it improves quality by promoting the use of the most appropriate levels of care.
  • Medicare is an area that often gets overlooked and is seen as a burden financially. Discuss alternatives to ease the drain on Medicare resources.
  • Medicaid is shouldering an ever-increasing burden of cost for long-term care for the elderly, with enormous impacts on state budgets throughout the nation. Discuss alternatives to ease this drain on Medicaid resources.
