The founder of modern nursing has rightly quoted that ‘nursing is the care which puts the person in the best possible condition for nature to either restore or preserve health or to prevent or cure injury’. Nursing has its own entity and ethics which makes it a profession. In response to the rising health needs, the need for independent nursing is the demand of the hour. This concept are formulated and implemented in develop countries. This has helped in meeting the consumers’ demand for health benefits. In the early years of the nursing profession, it generally believed that nurses served and cared for their patients by assisting physicians. However, now days role of nursing a more expending, not only bring title as register nurses but also as nurses practitioner, advanced nurses practitioner and clinical specialty. Those nurses require undergoing specialized post basic training and most of them are quiet senior staffs. Furthermore , some of the specialty of nursing such as wound care nurse, stoma nurse, diabetic nurse and so on and some of them also been as referred from the doctor for furthered management.

...almost impossible to count how many times we hear a child scream or cry when left with a care giver, at school, or even when a stranger looks at them in the supermarket. And although we notice these things, we don't usually connect them with being unnatural or unnecessary. But in fact, we should. There is hardly a need to experience such things, and that goes for the child as well as the parent. It is a given that a child will cry, it is also given that the child will be reluctant to leave the parent. However, this anxiety can be eased by applying a principle that is very simple. Socialization, it's a concept that many people aren't consciously aware of, yet it is experienced every day in many different aspects of life. Ones manners, people skills, and the like are all a result of one’s socialization. Even pets are now socialized in order to better prepare them to interact with other animals when walking in the city or the park. So why then is socialization such a strange and foreign concept to parents? To put it simply, children should being socialization at a young age to prepare them to interact with other children and adults as they grow. Socialization alone can move a child from having a dramatic experience when being left with a care giver to a more pleasant one. Not only does the child benefit from this, but the parents do as well. Often parents feel that since their child does not react well to other that they are confined to home without a night out or a play date with...

...vitally important to maintain professional boundaries between other staff members and individuals in your care, taking care to maintain a strong sense of mural respect and understanding of the beliefs of others, regardless of your opinion of them. Essentially, a personal relationship is one that is created through personal choice with a person who you share similar interests and personal values with. Concepts such as boundaries are more fluid and are not governed by set rules of procedures. 1.2 Describe different working relationships in social care settings There are many different types of relationships within health and social care and each will require a different type of working relationship with varying degrees of formality. For instance, the relationship you would have between a service user and a social worker, or other professional body would be much different, having to employ a more formal approach with a member of a professional body. Essentially the different types of working relationships are: Between colleagues Between supervisors and managers Professional bodies Clients and family members/representatives of clients 2.1 Describe why it is important to adhere to the agreed scope of the job role It is your legal responsibility to adhere to the role as defined in your job description.

...change clients’ behaviors can also improve clinicians’ professional conduct. Human services managers, supervisors, and staff members who build a high level of trust, respect, and positivity with the rest of their staff is provided the necessary tools to improve staff behaviors (Murphy & Dillon, 2011). Because of the wide variety of responsibilities, work habits, and necessary behavioral changes in the human services field, however; no single technique can be successful in all cases. Rather, managers should work with employers to establish strategies to improve staff behavior on a case-by-case basis. These strategies are most effective when they combine several techniques to form a comprehensive plan of action. This plan can include goal setting, staff development, and training with incentives-based motivation. This type of approach successfully creates behavior changes in staff by creating a positive work environment, highlighting, and increasing efficiency, and building meaningful relationships between staff members and clients. Therefore, applying techniques to a hypothetical situation can better show how a manager would use the facts of a particular case to combine several techniques, creating a cohesive strategy to change a staff member’s conduct.

The Practice of Clinical Psychology Worksheet Answer the following questions. Your response to each question must be at least 150 words in length. 1. What are at least two legal issues associated with clinical psychology? Provide an example of a situation that could be legal but unethical. Explain your response. There are many legal issues that exist in clinical psychology. Two of these legal issues are maintaining confidentiality and getting written consent to treat. A clinical psychologist is required by law to obtain the patients written consent before treating them or before any experiment takes place. A patient can opt out or withdraw consent whenever they deem it appropriate during treatment. If consent is withdrawn the treatment or experiment that involves the patient must stop (Plante, 2011). A psychologist must maintain confidentiality, this means that they are not allowed to disclose personal records and treatment with anyone but the patient unless child abuse is suspected, the patient may harm themselves or another, or there is a court order (Plante, 2011). An example of something that is legal but not ethical would be if there is an order from a judge to provide the records of the patient but the patient is unaware or refuses to consent. The therapist must turn over the patients file, however...

...What is Human Services? Nina Brown BSHS 301 Introduction to Human Services September 6, 2011 University of Phoenix Alberto Reynoso What is Human Services? The field of human service has been around for centuries in many forms with the sole intention of helping marginalized populations attain a sense of accomplishment in managing their lives. Human services are necessary to assist people who otherwise have little or no help in navigating their social environment for various reasons. There are segments of the population that aren’t able to acquire the basic human needs of shelter, food, and health care that everyone should have in order to maintain an ordered life. The goal of the human service profession is to help the disenfranchised overcome various obstacles that prevent them from living their lives to the fullest by providing them with support and various intervention strategies. The very early systems of taking care of the underprivileged were shrouded within a feudalistic society that resulted in slavery. Society’s attitudes towards the poor at that time were somewhat positive; there was no shame in being poor as long as you were seen as worthy (Martin, 2007) . The privileged were basically bestowing their graces on the poor with the understanding that it was necessary in society for the underprivileged to exist and for charity to be provided. The principles behind giving charity to the poor were engrained...

...Boundary less Organizations Dalia M. Davidson January 16, 2012 HCS/325 David R. Campbell Boundary less Organizations Many healthcare workplaces are becoming known for being boundary less organizations. Employees are connecting to the outside world with a wide variety of co-workers, consultants, off-site employees, and other resources. Boundary less organization is a contemporary approach in organizational design. It is an organization that is not defined by, or, limited to, the horizontal, vertical, or external boundaries imposed by a predefined structure. Boundary less organization combines the business team and network structures with the addition of temporariness. Many entrepreneurial and start-up businesses are boundary less organizations. When businesses are able to make quick changes to their environments and come up with solutions to an issue makes them boundary less organizations. There are two types of boundary less organizations. Inside of boundary less organizations teamwork and communication replace formal lines of authority. Barriers that once separated organizational members are resolved and team members react spontaneously to problems that may occur. Outside boundary less organizations the needs are met through outsourcing contracts and outside alliances that come together. These relationships are forever changing so they would look different day to day. Technology and the absence of hierarchy have allowed for the acceptance of boundary less...

... ABSTRACT When working a in professional setting and dealing with clients, there should be boundaries that every professional employee should abide by. Shared values are essential in the creating a successful relationship between the client and social worker. Social workers operate within society, not only to assist the individual but to create a more cohesive society. Values and ethics permeate the whole of social work practice and the society within which it practices (Shardlow 1989). Values are afforded a high position within social work, this is highlighted in: “Social work is a professional activity. Implicit in its practice are ethical principles which prescribe the professional responsibility of the social worker” (British Association of Social Workers (BASW) Code of Ethics). However, there is a danger in any created list of values, however well meaning becoming something quote as opposed to a useful tool for practice. Values can be helpful in contemporary practice as they enable the social worker to analyze their practice in relation to the expectations of the law and the needs of the people they work with. Nursing is one of the most trusted professions in the community. This means that nurses are trusted to enter into therapeutic relationships that adhere to the concept of patient care physically, mentally and ethically. The therapeutic relationship that is created is built on the professional knowledge and skills of the nurse and the patient trusting in the...

...“The price of greatness is responsibility” (Winston Churchill). I believe this statement by Winston Churchill adequately describes the art to great success and high quality achievements. Personal responsibility is greatly intertwined with college success. The path to college success starts and ends with holding oneself responsible and accountable. Knowing one's strengths and weakness can assist one in navigating down that path of college success, leading to the achievement of the set out goals. It has been about ten years since I have been in college. Although I could look at this long drought as a disadvantage, after much thoughtfulness I have realized that in these last ten years I have gained much personal experience and a plethora of skills and attitudes that will only aid me in achieving the victory I not only desire but demand of myself. Personal responsibility means that I am solely responsible for establishing my own goals, pinpointing my strengths and weaknesses and holding myself accountable to a set standard and process that will ultimately accomplish those goals. Personal responsibility begins with a set of goals. It is vital that a person has vision and clarity within that vision. One should know clearly what they desire for their future and understand the options in achieving their goals. Establishing both short term and long term goals are essential in achieving success in college. According to the desires I have for my future I've established some short and...

...Human Resources Management Wisnu Danandi Haryanto (1106115001) Question: What do you think is the impact of a more boundary less world to people mobility? Is there such reality of global talent? The world has become a smaller place to live in. The population has increased to 7 billion and advancements in technology have made information and business easier for the people of the world. The internet has revolutionized how the world has become. Knowledge can be found at the tip of your finger and the world has become more accessible. Mobility of the population has increased dramatically in the past several years. The migration of people has become a more common activity. Travel between countries and territories have become the common norm of today’s society. Because the world has become boundary less, people are becoming more aware of various possibilities and opportunities which may be provided to them from around the world. Until several years ago, many global companies were facing a major threat in conducting their business. There was a very high demand for talented employees and a very low supply of such employees. These companies also faced the challenge of needing to reduce the costs of operations by moving operations abroad, paying lower wages and finding competent employees to staff the facilities. Companies were required to aggressively retain their current employees and also develop the talents of these workers. We must be able to recognize that the search for...
