So, you've established a duty of care is owed, now we need to know if that person has breached the duty of care, meaning if you owe someone a duty of care and you've not met the standards required, this is generally displayed through the ‘reasonable man test’, which is a test to show how someone else would of reacted in that situation, someone in your department, so if you had a surgeon you'd ask another surgeon their opinion(a child is not expected to reach the standard levels of care the same as an adult) The case of Blyth V Birmingham waterworks helped refine the reasonable man test, the case developed it further. In applying the reasonable man test you have to cover four of the risk factors-1- The likelihood…

Key Message # 1: “Nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training. (Institute of Medicine, 2010, p. 85) The goal is to have a more patient centered care system. To do this the nurses’ role must be transformed for the goal to be achieved. The legislations goal is to transform the career beyond, acute and specialty cares do to the changes that are occurring in our population and todays nursing. The changes will affect all members of the heath care team. It is important for changes to occur to lower the safety risks that we have in health care today. Nursing is so broad in its career field, that there are many pathways one could take, whether it is nursing research to direct patient care. Since, Florence Nightingale founded…
Most everything a CNA does is resident-centered care. CNAs are there to assist the residents and comfort them. It may be hard for the residents to depend on others for basic needs, so letting them make decisions on their own is a crucial part of resident-centered care. One example of resident-centered care would be to give the residents some independence. For example, if a patient wanted to brush their teeth without assistance, I would respect that and let them guide themselves.…
Started early in the 2000th century, continuum of care was introduced as a notion to establish a more organized healthcare delivery system in an effort to use limited resources more efficiently and effectively. Continuum of Care services is a concept involving a more integrated system of care that helps guide and keep better track of patients over a prolonged time period, ultimately through a complete comprehensive display of health care services of which span all levels of intensity of care providing a representation of a structured daily guide for making decisions regarding the patient’s healthcare delivery. The guide is meant to ensure overall managed health care to patients; this includes assistance with basic care such as arranging doctors’ appointments or prescriptions to more extensive or advanced care such as hospital or critical care.…
The Nurse is defined by the University of North Carolina as "the leader in providing compassionate, quality care, focusing on the unique needs of patients and their families." It goes on to define the Nurse as someone who "collaborates with patients families and other health team members to plan and provide Nursing care that will achieve an optimal level of health and wellness, or when this is not possible, support the experience of loss and death." I completely agree with these statements. Deciding to take on the role of a Nurse shows the selflessness of the person. It is making the decision to put someone else before one’s self. It is the act of transforming from whatever type of person they are on the outside of the work place, and becoming someone who is non-judgmental, optimistic, positive, caring, empathetic and has the understanding ability to be able to provide care while respecting the patient’s wishes and beliefs. I feel as if certain characteristics of the Nurse are not taught. These are personality traits that we are born with and whether or not we utilize them, is up to us. Other Characteristics of the Nursing role, I feel are obtained by training and education. For example, inserting a Foley catheter, or any sterile procedure for this matter, training has to take place for the Nurse to properly insert the catheter. We have to be trained how to properly open the package, how to move so that sterility isn't broken and know proper techniques to insert the catheter. The Nurse must be trained on how to do this skill but unless she is educated, then the skill is useless. The Nurse is educate on rationales to each step, i.e.: Why am I doing this?, What am I looking for? What do I do If this happens? How will this affect the patient? Nursing is an incredibly interesting field with many doors of opportunity. It is a field that interests me…

There are instances where an acute condition can become a chronic condition an example of this would be a skin tear on the foot of a diabetic patient. Due to a patient’s co-morbidity of diabetes and the associated issues, healing time is lengthened, therefore it becomes a chronic condition that can involve treating a possible infection, and complex wound management, diabetic management, and review of nutrition…
