For the purpose of this assignment two audio-visuals have been watched regarding the care of Joe (NMC Videos., 2010a; NMC Videos., 2010b). For the first part of the assignment the problem solving approach, A.P.I.E (Assess, Plan, Implement and Evaluate) will be used to discuss behaviours regarding Joes care. The main behaviours will then be identified and examined using material learnt during the programme, and explanations will be offered to try and understand the behaviours displayed. The second part of the assignment will be a reflection regarding my development as a result of analysing Joe’s experience.
In the video we see Joe talking about the time he first arrived at the setting. He mentions how he filled in a form stating that he liked

During an assessment potential problems are identified allowing the staff to be able to plan so that these will not become actual problems (Barrett, Wilson and Woollands, 2012). In Joe’s case, although an assessment was made when he first arrived this was not continuous as it should have been (Barrett et al., 2012). Had this been done correctly it could have been highlighted that the actual problem was that Joe was not eating his breakfast, resulting in the potential problem that Joe was at risk of becoming malnourished. Effective assessment would also have allowed the carers to be able to set goals for Joe during the planning stage and implement the care to ensure he was receiving food that he enjoyed, resulting in Joe receiving the nutrients that his body needed. (Barrett et al., …show more content…
Glucose and Protein along with other nutrients play a key part in the wound healing process. Protein is advantageous to the wound healing process and a deficiency can prolong the inflammatory process and the collagen synthesis process (Breslow and Bergstorm, 1994). High exudate from wounds can result in 100g of protein being lost per day, therefore good nutritional intake is vital especially if Joe was to fall which resulted in such injury (Russell, 2001). As Joes care in regards to his food preferences was poorly implemented he may not have been receiving the diet that he needed and was at risk of malnutrition. If a continuous assessment had taken place and a plan set by the staff, it could have been implemented that Joe was able to have the breakfast he enjoyed reducing the risk of malnutrition. This would have been simple to implement and would also allowed Joe to be able to make decisions about his breakfast enabling him
Several organisations have been set up to assist or care for children who are primarily vulnerable; the trustees are responsible for ensuring that those benefitting from, or working with, are not abused in any way through contacts with it; they have a legal duty to act cautiously and this means that they must take all realistic steps within their power to ensure that this does not happen. It is particularly important where recipients are vulnerable children in the community; trustees are expected to find out what the relevant law is, how it applies to their organisation, and to comply with it where applicable, they should also adopt best practice as far as possible. In addition the main purpose of this module is to be accountable for the
The following is a case study focusing on the assessment and examination of a female patient presenting with symptoms of abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding during pregnancy to an emergency gynaecology and pregnancy assessment clinic. Names have been changed to maintain anonymity in line with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (2015). The Calgary-Cambridge model of assessment (Kurtz and Silverman 1996) was used to guide the practitioner through the health assessment process. The guide provides an easy-to-use structure that complements nursing 's traditional holistic assessment approach.

Case study of Mrs. A thought her admission to a acute ward, demonstrated the skills that are needed to care for her. 21312829 This assignment is a case study looking at a patient who has been admitted to an acute hospital following a fall. It will look at why the patient has been admitted and what skills are needed to deliver appropriate care.
Dr. Jean Watson’s theory of care addressed the nurse to patient ration, according to the method “nursing is positioned with caring of the sick, prevention of sickness, restoration of health and promotion of health. This process includes the process of assessment, plan, intervention, and evaluation. On the review, the nurse observes, identifies, review problem(s) and forms a care plan that will be used in appropriate nursing care. When the nurse to patient ratio is low, the nurse will not be able to perform this assessment. This will result in a reduction of patients’ outcomes, medical errors, frequent re-admissions, patient deaths.

As assessment is integral to the nursing process it is also incorporated into nursing models. Assessment is necessary during all nursing activities e.g. assisting an individual with their hygiene needs, taking observations or during repositioning/manual handling techniques. Orem’s model is a particularly effective tool in carrying out assessment as it has a practical approach in identifying patients’ needs by encompassing their universal, developmental and health deviation self-care deficits. ‘’Having a conceptual nursing model to practice may enable nurses to gather a detailed database that identifies actual and potential healthcare problems’’ (Capers, 1986). The grid, checklist format is a simple, fast and straightforward assessment guide and can be very useful in practice.

A recent study by Griffiths (2008) showed the fundamentals of patient care may have been lost and patient focus was diminished. He explained that nursing had become too technical due to the healthcare environmental crisis and the focus was taken away from the fundamentals of patient care. Although the ward on clinical placement was evidently over stretched, the fundamentals of patient care was still upheld due to the regiment implementation of the RLT model of nursing. Initial assessment allowed nurses to plan and implement measures from early admission which inevitably made all aspects nursing care
This model was chosen for its strengths in providing the nursing practitioner with a wide range of areas to engage families with. This is because the model acts as a template for both clinical and generalist practice and it allows nurses to expand their assessment questions within the different categories provided as they increase their skills in the practice of family care. It also allows the practitioner to choose which category is the most relevant to the particular client family resulting in advanced practice. Advanced practice is marked by the ability of the user to apply the model confidently as well as competently. However, on the downside, the model can become overwhelming when the nursing practitioner is beginning to use the model as they have to keep
The concepts of this theory include function of professional nursing, presenting behavior of the patient, immediate reaction, nursing process discipline as well as improvement (Petiprin, 2016). One of the roles of a nurse is to meet the immediate needs of the patient. Patients typically present to a facility with a requirement that should be identified and met by the nurse. The nurse should be able to identify the problematic situation from the patient to be able to address the need for help. The patient develops their perception of events and circumstances based on their automatic feelings and thoughts which causes the patient to have an immediate response.
HS 1021- Development of Relationship Centred Practice INTRODUCTION: In this essay I will consider how I would use a nursing concept, respect whilst undertaking elimination needs. I will give clear definition of the concept (respect) and a nursing skill of my choice which is elimination needs. I will also, identify how the concept and skill is relevant in nursing. The main part of the assignment is to outline how respect would influence how elimination needs is undertaken in placement.
1.Introduction In this assignment, I will reflect on my two practical days in the ward. We were assigned to experience certain wards and had to complete a set of objectives. It was important to work hand in hand with the nursing students and qualified nurses in order to understand what the processes are regarding the patients outside of the Radiography department. I will explain how these patients’ needs will be met when they arrive in the Radiography department.
Dealing with elimination care, their balance between activities and rest, how they balance solitude and social interactions, the prevention of hazards and the promotion of functioning. (Self-Care Deficit, 2016) The idea of this nursing theory can be applied to solve problems and issues within nursing practice due to nursing theories being the framework and the building blocks of nursing. For the specific theory of Orem’s Self-Care Deficit, the idea of the theory is to be able to assess the patient’s condition, identify the needs and be able to demonstrate communication and interaction with others.
