For the first time ever multiple generations are working hand in hand. Of these, two generations are traditionalist and baby boomers. Each generation has its own ideals, conflicting ideals. These differing ideals in turn create a generation gap, causing conflict in families, schools, and in the workplace.…
Nursing homes, however, are designed for persons in need of 24-hour nursing care (Allen, 2011) Even though they provide almost the same residential components of other long-term care options, which includes housing, personal care, protection, supervision, and sometimes therapy, the availability of on-site medical staff is the edge they have over the others. Nursing homes have custodial care, which a person with Alzheimer’s disease will need. The custodial care which includes assistance with all of the activities of daily living like eating, dressing, bathing, walking and medication management. With the above explanation, Don will likely choose a nursing home for the care of his wife, Mary.…
At the end of my clinicals, there was a meeting about not over recommending a skilled nursing facility (SNF) for people who do not truly need a SNF according to the hospital. One of the criteria for not needing a SNF was if the person was functioning at the same baseline they were functioning at before surgery. This became a dilemma for one patient who had a total knee replacement because the patient could barely stand upright and walked with a severe genu valgum. According to the patient, she was not very mobile before surgery and her husband helped take care of her. However, the patient seemed motivated to improve her functional status and wanted to be able to walk normally again.…
Conflict as defined by Floger, Poole, and Stutman is the interaction of interdependent people who perceive incompatible goals and interference from each other in achieving those goals. The word that was reiterated was interdependent. The author states that there cannot be conflict if you do not have interdependent people because the non-interdependent people will give up and walk away. Conflict does not always end in a negative result; there can be productive and positive resolution from conflict as well.…
1. I chose the scenario where I simulate a 78 year old woman in good health returning from a cruise. I wrap my knees with ace bandages and then put on gardening gloves. I fill two grocery bags from my cupboard and carry them to my car and back. I walk up a flight of stairs and then unpack the bags and return them to their place on the shelf.…
Ageing in place is a popular term in current ageing policy, and it is defined as remaining living in the community, with some level of independence, rather than in residential care [7]. This concept is about enabling older people to maintain independence, autonomy, and connection to social support, including friends and family. Having people remaining in their homes and communities for as long as possible also avoids the cost of institutionalization and is therefore favored by policy makers, health providers, and by many older people themselves…
“99 Cent” was an iconic photograph taken by the German photographer, Andreas Gursky in 1999. Gursky takes an ordered, indexical approach to his work. Capturing scenes with enormous amounts of visual information. Gursky has been known to subtly enhance and adjust the structure of his photographs, which enables the viewers to assimilate and consume more feasible with just our eyes alone. 99 Cent is a perfect example of the spectacle surrounding consumerism, as it is composed in an organized and rigorous yet formal fashion. The artist brings in few formal elements, but despite its rigid structure and composition, 99 Cent is a visual assault. First the endless amount of detail, shape and space used in this image, which would not be possible…
Elder abuse can be defined as the infliction of injury by a care giver in an unreasonable manner; may involve intimidation, confinement or punishment that results in mental anguish/mental illness, physical pain/harm. Physical abuse includes striking an elder with objects, slapping him/her, pushing him/her and hitting him/her. Use of physical restraints and chemical restraints on a care giver has also been classified as abuse.? Rape, sexual abuse and non-consensual sexual involvement with an elder in a nursing home setting are regarded as elder abuse. Psychological abuse using insults is also regarded as abuse. The purpose of this…
There are reports of abuse in nursing homes every year. There are many types of abuse reported as well. Even though there are many reports there are also many cases that are not reported. Elderly being abused puts them in an even more vulnerable position that what they were in. They now have to fear for their lives from the people who should be taking care of them. With reported cases and non-reported cases the abuser is rarely punished which makes the situation much worse. Elder abuse in nursing homes has grown at an alarming rate and not being reported and I firmly believe that the punishment should be increased for these abusers such as licenses being pulled and state stepping in more to investigate.…
