...Transplant and Medication Compliance: Patient-Centered Nursing Interventions will Facilitate Better Patient Compliance of Medications in Post-Renal Transplant Recipient Yonica Jamieson Jersey College Abstract Patient in compliance with prescribed medications or treatments is warrant, in any medical condition. This research paper, focused and took a look at the effects of non-compliance with immunosuppressant medications in post-renal transplant recipients, such as graft rejection. Identified some barriers to compliance and discussed how patient-centered nursing interventions should be used to alleviate these barriers and bring about compliance with immunosuppressant medications, at the same time decreasing graft rejection in renal transplant recipients. Renal Transplant and Medication Compliance: Patient-centered Nursing Interventions will Facilitate Better Patient Compliance of Medications in Post-Renal Transplant Recipients In medicine, the term non-compliance is commonly used in regard to a patient who does not take a prescribed medication or follow prescribed course treatments (MedicineNet, 2012). This is one of the major issues with post-renal transplantation recipients. Renal transplant is a surgery done to implant a healthy kidney into a person with end-stage renal disease. End-stage renal disease is when the kidney stops function all together, that makes the person unable to live without dialysis or transplant...

Different Stages of Career Development Process Or, Cycles of Career Development Process VI. Career Development I. Career: Meaning & Elements Definition of Career Career is a sequence of attitudes and behaviors associated with the series of job and work-related activities over a person's lifetime. Yet in another way, it may be defined as a succession of related jobs, arranged in hierarchical order, through which a person moves in an organization. As the literal definition of career focuses on an individually perceived sequence, to be more accurate, career may be either individual centered or organization-centered. Therefore, career is often defined separately as external career and internal career. External career refers to the objective categories used by society and organizations to describe the progression of steps through a given occupation, while internal career refers to the set of steps or stages which make up the individual's own concept of career progression within an occupation. For such two different approaches, in organizational context, career can be identified as an integrated pace of vertical and lateral movement in an occupation of an individual over his employment span. Important Elements of Career Analyzing the definitional context, it...

...Personal Model of Helping University of Phoenix BSHS/ 312 Models of Effective Helping Personal Model of Helping All theories have different views on ways of helping and different goals to imply. By using the person-centered approach ones view of human nature comes from one’s helping style. One would require a style that would make the client believe he or she is safe and understood. By the client knowing his or her therapist or counselor does understand him or her then he or she will believe he or she is safe and accept the help offer by the therapist or counselor. One could possibly set his or her on goals for change or except those of the therapist or counselor. “Person-centered therapy holds an optimistic view of human personality and focuses on present rather than past experience. Focusing on the inner experience of persons rather than on observable behavior, it holds that behavioral change evolves from within the person rather than through the manipulation of the environment” (Parrott III, 2003). View on Helping Developing a personal theory for the way one would want to understand human nature and provide him or her with the help he or she needs takes careful consideration. From what I have learned from this model of effective helping course is that the human service profession is a complex and overwhelming process, and one has to understand the methods one uses. My view on professional...

...participation. Some adults such as those who are disabled or who are older are usually discouraged from taking risks with their budgeting, planning, employment and their daily living skills usually because people fear for their limitations or that they might hurt themselves or others. Everyone has the right to take risks and make decisions about their own lives, a balance should be found between service users participation in everyday activities and the carers duty of care. Social care and health policies are encouraging residents to increase their independence by being involved in the wider society such as leisure and work. It should be noted that it is impossible to eliminate risk completely, however minimising and being prepared for risk by preventative action. Supporting people to live independently by taking part of their lives means accepting that there are risks that cant be avoided but can be prepared for. Explain why individuals may have been discouraged or prevented from taking risks, For some services, approaches to risk have been a problem because they have been concerned with avoiding potentially harmful situations for the service user and staff. People need to take risk to achieve things on their own merit, but there are people who should support them but will discourage them from taking risks because of perceived perceptions of the persons limitations. Risk taking can have benefits for the individual as it will enable them to do things most...

...Organizational Leadership & Inter-Professional Team Development Betty Cochrane Western Governors University June 5, 2014 Organizational Leadership & Inter-professional Team Development I. Introduction Patient and Family Centered care evolved a relationship that involved the patient and the family in the treatment, decisions and potential outcomes in their medical plans and care. The patient is encouraged to take part in every aspect of their treatment and is empirically empowered through education and understanding to make the best decisions possible in their care and management of their disease process. This evolution has moved the health professional into an open, honest, communicative relationship with the patient and empowered them with a tool that had, until recently, been devoid; they have been given choices. The patient-centered care model addresses the patient's concerns by providing resources and communication concerning the options available to them, and to evaluate their understanding of their diagnosis and how to utilize these resources and understanding to meet their needs. II. Self-Assessment Tool III. Setting Description The present setting where I am employed is a 300 bed academic Level One Trauma Center residing in the heart of the city. We provide many specialties of care which include trauma, stroke--being in the minority as a comprehensive stroke center--high risk obstetric and a...

...they work. In order to accomplish this goal, six competencies were defined. These competencies from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) are patient centered care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, informatics and safety. Over a decade has passed since the Institute of Medicine’s reports on the need to improve the American healthcare system. The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) initiative was developed with the goal of integrating quality and safety competencies into nursing education. All 6 attributes of QSEN are equally important although I believe that everything revolves around patient-centered care. Every individual responds differently to medication and different aspects of healthcare and we must use team work and collaboration to figure out what works best for that specific individual, we must use evidence-based care because like mentioned previously what might work for Mrs. Johnson might not work for Mr. Smith even though they have the same disease, we always have to improve our care and technology to find new ways and it is all for the patient. We must learn new information and how it pertains to the patient and lastly we must be safe in whatever we do not only for ourselves and colleagues but because a patient’s life may depend on it. The QSEN Institute defines patient-centered care as “Recognize the patient or designee as the source of control and full partner in providing compassionate and coordinated care based on...

...Patient-Centered Care: Core Competency Patient centered care is considered the key competency in which the other four competencies function. The other four competencies include: working with an interprofessional team, employing evidence-based practice, ensuring quality improvement, and utilizing informatics. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) describes patient-centered care as being able to identify, respect and care about patients’ differences, their values, preferences, and expressed needs. Patient-centered care also includes being able to relieve pain and suffering, coordinate continuous care including: listening to, clearly informing, communicating with, educating patients, sharing decision-making and management; and continuously advocating disease prevention, wellness, and the promotion of living a healthy lifestyle, including a focus on population health (Finkelman...

...However, the one thing I see being a problem with this is that it is not solely Catholic-centered. The Care Center might adapt for the 73-year-old client by finding a Catholic group of individuals who could meet at their center once a week to participate in all of the above activities. Because the man stated specifically that being Catholic was important to him, I feel a larger effort should be made to adapt to this desire. Additionally, I did not find many activities that appealed to individuals with mobility challenges. Since this gentleman likes baseball, an activity to be organized could be playing indoor baseball, which could be played by those in motorized chairs and those who are still able to walk on their own. Many of the activities already put into place at the care center seemed to be very general. For instance, “Fitness...

...work breakdown structure A WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE (WBS) IS A DECOMPOSITION OF ALL THE WORK NECESSARY TO COMPLETE A PROJECT. A WBS IS ARRANGED IN A HIERARCHY AND CONSTRUCTED TO ALLOW FOR CLEAR AND LOGICAL GROUPINGS, EITHER BY ACTIVITIES OR DELIVERABLES. THE WBS SHOULD REPRESENT THE WORK IDENTIFIED IN THE APPROVED PROJECT SCOPE STATEMENT AND SERVES AS AN EARLY FOUNDATION FOR EFFECTIVE SCHEDULE DEVELOPMENT AND COST ESTIMATING. PROJECT MANAGERS TYPICALLY WILL DEVELOP A WBS AS A PRECURSOR TO A DETAILED PROJECT SCHEDULE. THE WBS SHOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY A WBS DICTIONARY, WHICH LISTS AND DEFINES WBS ELEMENTS. The goals of developing a WBS and WBS Dictionary are 1) for the project team to proactively and logically plan out the project to completion, 2) to collect the information about work that needs to be done for a project, and 3) to organize activities into manageable components that will achieve project objectives. The WBS and WBS Dictionary are not the schedule, but rather the building blocks to it. The progression of WBS and WBS Dictionary development is as follows: [pic] The WBS and WBS Dictionary should not be static documents. WBS construction is subject to project management progressive elaboration, and as new information becomes known, the WBS should be revised to reflect that information. A Project Team that has substantial changes to its WBS should reference the project’s Change Management Plan for guidance on management of changes to project scope. Example...

...Organizational Culture There are two hospitals in St. Charles County, one existed for twenty years and the other is a brand new facility. The corporate strategic plan is to merge the hospitals to allow St. Charles County residents options for great medical care and ultimately gain market share away from the competition. Although the plan has merit, the blending of cultures of the hospitals are reliant on the strategic implementation of the plan lacked the proper operational planning. The SWOT of the two hospitals does not culturally align. The culture of the established hospital is solely based around the affiliation to the reputation of the corporation, while the newer hospital was built for the sole purpose of creating a culture that delivers a brand new patient centered hospital experience. In the operational planning stages it can only be speculated that the original strategic plan was not to merge the hospitals with the knowledge of the major disconnect between the two hospital’s cultures. The established hospital delivers great clinical care because they make their hiring decisions based on the applicants’ experience. There is a brief telephone interview with Human Resources and then with the hiring manager. There are no established interview guides or even standard interview questions posed to the applicants. Recently the hospital leadership team introduces the Studer Model service priorities to the hospital employees. The implementation of the Studer Model...
