Nursing Case Study On Hi Khadejah
Hi Khadejah, I decided to answer your question because I’m quite familiar with this issue and feel strongly about it. I think it’s important to keep in mind that the patient is the one experiencing the health issue not the doctor. If a patient truly believes something is wrong with them then they should pursue this concern and find someone who will listen. I know several people who have had to press further and found out they had a serious illness but their doctors originally said it was nothing. Last year an acquaintance of mine was experiencing pain that put her in the ER. The doctor said it was a gas bubble and sent her home. She pushed further and got a second opinion from someone willing to run tests. It turns out she had a cancerous

    EMTALA And HIPAA Case Study

    With that said, he could request a transfer to a different institution, or refuse examination, treatment, or the combination of both. If he does refuse treatment, the physician must inform him or the person on his behalf of the risks and benefits associated with the accessible examination or treatment. The physician must then describe the examination or treatment that was declined in the medical record, secure the rejection in writing, and have the patient sign the document confirming he has chosen to refuse services despite being informed of the risks and benefits involved (FAQS). If our patient does not reject an examination or treatment, yet fails to receive the emergency care he needs, one may argue it is that patient’s duty to report the hospital that refused to provide the care in order to prevent future…

    Tort Law Case Study

    I felt this case was of negligence and malpractice, how can someone complain about their discomfort, provide relevant medical history and not get the proper diagnosis. They could have provided a more I depth diagnosis or allowed for a longer observation period. Hospitals often struggle to find a balance between profit and patient care. If the profit margin was not the first priority, then maybe we can avoid similar cases like this. It seems that the struggle for tort reform in finding a good balance between protecting healthcare institutions and at the same time allow for patients the opportunity to pursue compensation when malpractice does occur is…

    Coms 327 thought essay

    An example of this was when a doctor told me that my horse would not survive after having suffered from a severe injury. It is common sense to trust doctors and most people expect that everything that they say will be the ultimate truth. However according to Lyotard, communication is best conceived as a ‘’language game’’ and I believe that this is true when discussing the trustworthiness of doctors. In most cases, people will listen to what their doctor is saying without a question and you are therefore following the rules in the language game. Immediately, when…

    Clinician Ethical Dilemmas

    In the case presented for discussion described above, it was imminent that Dr. Yarnell had a justifiable medical history that supported his symptoms. Nonetheless, it can be argued the way PA Brian decided to evaluate and treat Dr. Yarnell was biased or based on personal interests. PA Brian’s medical judgment was compromised. Mutual personal motivations existed between Dr. Yarnell and PA Brian. However, as a clinician PA Brian should have impartially evaluated Dr. Yarnell by properly and examining and documenting his findings or properly redirecting Dr.Yarnell to a different clinician. If the patient (Dr. Yarnell) was never appropriately examined, how can PA Brian as a health care provider substantiate that the medication prescribed was adequate and beneficial for the…

    Should Doctors Tell The Truth By Joseph Collins

    As I read, Should Doctors Tell the Truth by Joseph Collins I began to agree with Collins argument. Collin’s argues that doctors must frequently withhold the truth from their patients, which is equivalent to lying to them and should cultivate lying as a fine art. At the same time, no doctor has the right to tell a patient point blank that they have a major disease like epilepsy, dementia praecox etc. only after observation for a long period. In this piece Collins has 4 premises. Collins premises are the four types of patients who ask for the truth.…

    Professional Honesty In Nursing

    Professional honesty is about the physician knowing the limits of his or her own competence and when to refer to someone else for help. There is nothing shameful about not knowing the solution to a medical problem. It is dangerous to fake competence or pretend to know things. A statement by the Medical Council, Disclosure of harm, acknowledges that all medical treatment carries risk and encourages physicians to disclose where a patient has been harmed as the result of their medical care. The Council quotes research that indicates a patient is more likely to complain if a physician fails to disclose harm to the patient, or if the disclosure is not done in an open and honest manner (Corkill,…

    Health Insurance Portability Act

    A provider should have a special relationship with patient’s and owe a duty of care to the patients that should not be breached. If the provider fails to provide responsibility to the patient, he or she could be liable for damages. If the provider knows their patient has an abnormal test result, their duty to the patient is to let the patient know and treat any treatable illnesses. If provider misconduct is shown, it is required that it be reported to a practice administrator, office manager or even another provider. Office staff misconduct is an improper and illegal act. A medical professional’s duty is to its patients. If a medical professional notices provider misconduct, they are required to report the incident. After all, the well being of the patient come first.

    Misdiagnosis In Health Care

    Misdiagnosis In Health Care

    Institute of Medicine has noted several factors that play in misdiagnosis and they are as follows. Rushed visits, time constraints are always a factor in almost all lines of work especially so with health care. According to Rice (2015) time or resources are limited, all people, including physicians rely on mental shortcuts or heuristics, an abbreviated way of thinking. That can lead physicians to make quick assumptions and introduce cognitive bias. This not only increases the likelihood of missing disease warning signs, but leads to poorer quality decisions. Unclear communication with patients, communication is vital, it is easier to make a sound diagnosis with a complete history of a patient. Misread or misplaced x-rays, I have prior experience working in a Radiology Department and I can attest to the sheer volume of cases or they have to see. The Radiologist at a busy hospital reads hundreds of plates a day, eventually, mistakes are bound to happen. Most of these missed findings do not lead to any adverse outcome, however, if one does legal action is almost always a guarantee. Doctors’ unrecognized bias, each doctor has their own mental inclination that sways their decision when making a diagnosis. The issue lies here when doctors unknowingly oppose evidence in favor of their initial disposition. Lastly, is record keeping, this has always been an issue in every healthcare setting. It has evidently gotten better since the usage of electronic records, however mishaps still do happen. Omitted findings from records or missing records itself delays if not changes the…
