Case Study Computerized Health Information

/in /by

I’m studying for my Health & Medical class and need an explanation.

 

Floribama Hospital just learned that their current EHR will no longer be supported by the IS vendor starting in two years. In the hospital’s rush to select an IS, it decided to take some short cuts. These short cuts included:

• Creating a committee of only three people to select the system

• Not going on a site visit

• Not performing systems analysis

• Deferring planning until after the contract is signed

This was the recommendation of the chief executive officer of the healthcare facility. The logic behind his recommendation to defer planning was that there will be some time after the contract is signed but before the software is available, so the planning can fill in this time period. The contact was signed yesterday so the planning is ready to commence

1.Case Study

The hospice nurse sat with Ann’s husband, Ben. Ann was resting quietly as the increased dosage of IV pain medication gradually reached its therapeutic level. Ben turned his head and slowly turned, looking out the room’s only window. As he glanced up, a small flicker of light caught his breath. It was a shooting star. A tear fell from the corner of his eye and he turned to Ann. The nurse sensed that something significant to Ann and Ben was unfolding. Shuffling to Ann’s bedside, he took her small fragile hand in his. These hands had rocked cradles, burped babies, and groomed the horses she loved to ride. Gently holding her hand, he turned to the nurse. “She would ride like the wind was chasing her.” Looking back to Ann his voice broke; choking back tears “Ann, Ann I saw Jessie…Jessie is calling.” Ben turned “Jessie was our daughter. She died having a baby that was too big. When she died it was a pitch-black night. Cold, so cold, the baby died too, a little boy, named him Abe, Jr. after Jessie’s husband. I took Ann outside so she could cry to God above and there in this dark sky we saw two falling stars…together…just falling. We knew it had to be Jessie and Abe…two angels to light up the night.” Ben turned back as a deep sign escaped from Ann’s lips. A soft smile remained as she joined Jessie and Abe.

Based on this case study how would the nurse actualize Parse’s theory of Human Becoming?

What are characteristics of a humanbecoming nurse? What are strengths and weaknesses to this theory of nursing?

What challenges exist for healthcare institutions to switch to this nursing approach?

How might Parse’s understanding of transcendence guide the nurse, as Ann’s death became a reality to Ben?

From the nursing theories we have discussed, what theory would you apply to this case study? Develop a plan of care to include both nursing theories (be specific and provide reasons)

The APA formatted paper should include 2 outside references and your book. The essay should be between 1250 and 1500 words in length.

I’m trying to learn for my Health & Medical class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

 

 

Topic: Respiratory Issues Complicated by Economic Disadvantage

A mother brings her 8-year-old child to the clinic, stating the child “just isn’t breathing right, doesn’t want to play, just lies on the couch — this happens all the time.”

The appearance of both mother and child is disheveled. The child’s wheezing can be heard across the room. When asked if the child is better at any certain time of the day, the mother responds, “It’s like this all the time and has been for the past year — we saw a doctor last year who diagnosed asthma but we don’t have any money for drugs or to come back to the clinic.”

Directions:

 

  • Identify the resources currently available in your state (Florida) to support this family in the care of this child, including assistance programs for costs of health care follow-up and pharmaceutical treatment agents.
  • Create a communication plan for mother and child for both prescriptive and non-prescriptive drug therapies.

Parenting Styles (ECE205) Introduction to Child Development

/in /by

According to clinical assistant professor, Anita Gurian, there are four types of parenting styles: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved. Parenting styles include the behaviors, actions, and spoken words of our primary caregivers. The different parenting styles impact and influence child development in a number of positive and negative ways. Parenting styles also impact how we view ourselves and the world around us, which in turn impacts our temperament (Gurian, n.d.). The relationship between child and parent is often impacted by the match or mismatch between parenting style and the temperament of the child (often referred to as “Goodness of Fit”) (Thomas & Chess, 1977).

Initial Post â€“ Read the article Parenting styles/children’s temperaments: The match by Anita Gurian. Then, answer the following questions by writing at least one paragraph for each response.
 

  • Explain the specific impact parenting styles have on two issues related to child development. Examples include: obesity, resiliency, social-deviance, self-esteem, school performance, cognitive flexibility, and emotional intelligence. Provide examples from at least one outside scholarly resource in addition to your textbook.
  • Discuss the match or mismatch between parenting styles and their child’s temperament. 
  • How can we as professionals help close this gap? What can you do in your professional role to mediate the conflict?

MATERIALS

Discussion of any fitness tests, methods of evaluation, and data collection used to assess and evaluate the clientÕs needs

/in /by

I’m studying and need help with a Health & Medical question to help me learn.

 

Case Study 1

Calculations: Calculate the client’s target heart rate using the Karvonen formula.

Training Program: Design a 12-week periodized training program for the client described in the Client Profile. Be very specific as you design the training program. This is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your full comprehension of the information and concepts discussed throughout the course. List the types of exercise, duration, sets, reps, rest intervals, and so on.

Include the following in your case study submission:

  • A description of your professional responsibilities as discussed in the stages of the drawing-in process (Unit 12)
  • Discussion of any fitness tests, methods of evaluation, and data collection used to assess and evaluate the clientÕs needs
  • Specific conditions that you have identified in the client profile
  • A detailed 12-week comprehensive and periodized training program including specific exercises, sets, repetitions, suggested rest times, etc. Use an integrated approach in your program recommendations.
  • Specific and detailed nutritional strategies and an explanation as to how the strategies will assist the client in meeting energy needs
  • Explanation for your chosen assessment, programming, and nutritional recommendations. (Be sure to reference course concepts when discussing rationale for your recommendations.

Keep in mind that a client should be able to take your program and put it into practice without having to contact you to clarify what you intended by your recommendations or to explain parts of your program.

Don’t forget your explanation for WHY you listed and recommended what you did. Reference the concepts and theories covered in the course. Be sure to address why the program and exercises recommended are appropriate for the specific client given the clientÕs history, current abilities, and intended goal(s). For example: if you are developing a program for a beginner client without any resistance training experience, explain how your program addresses the lack of experience, initial need for foundational development, process by which you would safely progress the client, etc. Tying your program to course concepts is a critical component of your case study.

Review the Client Profile below.

Client Profile: Jamie Summers

Age: 53

Gender: Female

Resting Heart Rate: 90 bpm

Height: 5’5″

Weight: 165 lb

She was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure, which is likely caused by her high-stress corporate job and physical inactivity. She also has an affinity for processed and sugary foods. Jamie was recently told by her doctor that she needs to start exercising, eating better, and just simply taking better care of herself or else she is on her way to additional health problems. Jamie will be attending her oldest daughterÕs high school graduation in three months and wants to use the event as a goal date in which to make significant progress in her health.
