  • PurposeThis assignment will help prepare the student for conversations with clie

    PurposeThis assignment will help prepare the student for conversations with clients with a mental health condition.
    Communication: Displaying capability in writing, reading, and oral communication; understanding of non-verbal language.
    This is a “role play exercise,” in which one student is the student nurse, and the other will role play as a client. In this assignment, the nursing student will be demonstrating the therapeutic nurse-client relationship and analyzing the therapeutic and nontherapeutic techniques used. You will take turns in the roles.
    This is not about always having therapeutic responses. It is about learning from practice and review. It is expected that you will think of other ways to respond or interact with the client that may be more therapeutic after the interaction is terminated. After the conversation is over, you will complete in IPR form.
    The client roles are:Mr. Jones is a 69-year-old retired engineer. He was admitted to the in-patient psychiatric unit the previous day. His daughter had called the police when he locked himself in his bathroom and refused to come out. She thought he was suicidal. He was brought to the hospital by the police and was admitted on involuntary status. He has been reticent since admission but told his daughter he had no reason to live since his wife died.
    Diagnosis: Major Depressive Disorder
    Nursing Diagnosis: Risk for suicide.
    Mrs. Alvarez is a 34-year-old female who has lived in this country for the past 10 yrs. She is a stay at home mom with three small children. Her husband works two jobs to support the family. Lately, she has been extremely anxious and fears that her children will become ill or injured. This seems to be an unrealistic concern, but she has been unable to sleep well and has lost 15 lbs. in the past month. She is a voluntary admission and states she knows she needs help.
    Diagnosis: Generalized Anxiety Disorder
    Nursing Diagnosis: Ineffective coping
    You will select the role you wish as a client and take turns switching roles. After the conversation, you will document the interactions using the form provided and following the guidelines instructions for each column. Attached is the IPR form.

  • Comparative Performance Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read chapter

    Comparative Performance
    Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read chapters 3 and 4 from the course text.
    For this discussion, you are tasked with comparing two hospitals, one that is considered a safety-net hospital (public hospitals who care for a large segment of the population who are uninsured or underinsured) and one hospital from a more affluent area in the state where you live.
    Visit The Joint Commission: Quality Check Links to an external site.(https://www.qualitycheck.org/).
    Take the following steps to find two hospitals:
    Enter a city and state(Tampa Florida), and then select Locate.
    A list of hospitals for that city and state will populate on the page. Select View Report.
    Select View Accreditation History. Next, select the most recent Quality Report, which will open as a PDF document. Scroll down to the pages that list the National Patient Safety Goals and then the National Quality Improvement Goals. Choose one from either list.
    If you choose a National Patient Safety Goal,
    State the goal and the procedure(s) indicated in the Organization Should
    Discuss the implications to the patient, staff (physicians, nurses, medical assistance, pharmacists, etc.) and hospital if the health care professional fails to follow the procedure indicated.
    If you choose a Quality Improvement Goal,
    State the measure and explanation of that goal.
    Discuss how the hospital can improve their performance to meet the target.
    Repeat the above steps for a second hospital. Reminder, one hospital should be a safety-net hospital and one should serve an affluent community.
    Next, compare and contrast the differences between the two facilities. After review of the two hospitals, discuss your opinion about the reasons these hospitals could have disparities.
    Your initial post should utilize at least one scholarly source.

  • You are preparing to discharge a 43-year-old male patient who has received treat

    You are preparing to discharge a 43-year-old male patient who has received treatment for a fracture of the right tibia. You provide the patient with a prescription for a narcotic analgesic to be used as needed for pain, along with information about the medication. The patient states, “I don’t need the prescription. My cousin just had surgery and didn’t take all of his pain medicine. I can just use his. That will be cheaper for me, anyway, since I don’t have insurance.” (Learning Objectives 3, 4, and 5)
    1. a. Discuss the legal and therapeutic implications related to the patient taking narcotic analgesics that have been prescribed for another person.
    b. With these implications in mind, how should you respond to the patient?
    2. How should you respond to the patient’s concern about the cost of his medication?
