C1 Caregivers Case Study
I chose C1 as my second choice because the health of caregivers is an important part of keeping patients and staff satisfied. Understanding the effects of a patient’s health on caregivers is important. It would be interesting to see how a child’s health can impact the caregiver’s health and what toll it takes on them. We too often only think about one side of the equation, that being how caregivers impact patients, but we very seldom look at how a patient’s health can impact a caregiver. With that knowledge in mind, we can mitigate adverse effects on caregivers and increase the quality of care the patient receives.
I would be honored to participate in any of the two project above and have the opportunity to learn from and work with the mentors

    Finances is as important as cure. Investment in advance will help. If the family has planned their medical insurance, then it should be communicated. The primary caregiver should get familiarized with all the terms and conditions and legal issues as quickly as possible. Staying connected with the doctor and the hospital in terms of tentative period of stay and its cost can help. Insurance coverage is usually for intensive care but not for rehabilitation. Negotiating with the insurance agency should not be ruled out. It is to be noted that the caregiver is an equal customer and the agency should do their best for their customer.…

    Literature on the topic has grown over the past 15 years, but much of it has focused on the effect on hospital staff rather than family. Many studies were limited by small enrollment, use of convenience samples, low rates of participation, and the use of inconsistent and retrospective survey instruments. (Am J Crit Care 2005;14[6]:494.) That made it difficult to draw general conclusions about its benefits or disadvantages.…

    Reflecting back, it was interesting day. All of the people were very nice that I had an encounter with, but I had to deal with a constant smell of smoke. Even if they weren’t smoking in the building, there were so many employees that did smoke you could smell it in there. This was also constant in the houses we were visiting so I ended up leaving with a headache unfortunately. I think that’s where my golden nugget comes into play though. Even though, you might not agree with how they live their lives, it’s still your duty as their nurse to take care of them.…

    Bringing home a new baby can be an exciting time for many parents but it can also be a time of stress and anxiety. Parents naturally want to do the best for their newborns and endeavour to care for them safely through infancy , childhood and beyond. Unfortunately, around 80 infants die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in Australia each year, this equates to approximately 0.4 deaths per 1000 births (SIDSandkids 2012" ABS 2008). SIDS and Kids Australia define SIDS as 'the sudden death of an infant or young child which is unexpected by history and in which a thorough post-mortem examination fails to demonstrate an adequate cause of death ' (sidsinfopaper, 2003).Fleming (2007, p.721) writes that…

    Gordon’s eleven functional health patterns are a tool used by nurses to conduct a thorough family assessment and history, and obtain information on the areas of need for health promotion and illnesses. The systems theory as explained by Edelman and Mandle, (2006), states that a change in any person in the family will affect the entire family as a unit. (Ch. 7p. ?) The importance of a complete family assessment can be surmised by this statement: ”Families are the most central and enduring influence in children’s lives… the health and well being of children are inextricably linked to their parent’s physical and emotional and social health, social circumstances and childrearing practices”.(Edelman & Mandle, 2010, p. 174).…

    Nurses utilize multiple theories daily to care for patients and their families, though these theories range from grand, to situation-specific, to mid-range the nurse tends to focuses on which theory will provide the best care to his/her patient. Perhaps in my opinion mid-range theories with their growing frequency of use are best suited for nursing in the 21st century. Mid-range theories are said to be middle rather than ordinary but they are specific enough to evaluate observed situations (McCurry, Revell, &Roy, 2009). There are multiple reasons why mid-range theories offer some of the most up to date information when it comes to the care of our patients and families, but let’s just break it down to three; interpersonal relations, family, and health promotion. The middle range theories of these three examples will provide a set of assumptions and/or predictions from specific situations confirmed by research (Nolan & Grant, 1991).…
