...CASE STUDY ANALYSIS UNIT 12 MODULE 64 Case Study Analysis Module 64- Health Care Legislation When government decided to pass the health care reform act, I have always supported this effort. I rank my response as a two within the parameters of “strongly in favor.” For years many people in American have suffered at the mercy of insurance companies using their power and authority to blindside and push the American people into a corner mentally, physically, and financially leaving them desperate and in need health care. I have always felt that it was the government’s duty to step in and regulate this matter in a way that would turn the tables on the negative tactics of the insurance industry and allow the American people to benefit from proper health care coverage for themselves and their families. The government has not only stepped in but has stepped in with aggression, even posing fines on citizens that do not purchase health coverage. Although I support the health care reform act, I am against the portion of the law that poses fines on people for not purchasing health care. I rank my response as a 6 within the parameters of “strongly oppose.” I fully understand the impact that uncovered citizen’s cause on the economy and tax payers. The penalty itself sends a message that speaks volumes and punishes people in ways that are not fair or just. According to povertyusa.gov, more than 46 million Americans live in poverty; American families were having a difficult time making ends...

...NURSING MANAGEMENT OF A STROKE PATIENT INTRODUCTION Stroke is the only largest cause of adult disability which leaves a devastating and lasting effect on people and their families (DoH, 2007a). The government of the United Kingdom had recognized stroke as a health care priority. Several government agencies developed clinical guidelines which are being implemented today in local health care settings (Williams et al, 2010a). This essay will focus on stroke as the cause of impaired mobility and will tackle on the patient-centered rehabilitation care plan along with its evidence-based rationales. Health and social care policies and its effect on the patient’s chosen journey will also be discussed. PATIENT PROFILE This is a case of a 68 year-old, married female who lives in the south of England. Mrs. G was admitted on 12 October 2010 with a presenting complaint of left-sided weakness. Prior to admission, she experienced persistent pain on the back of the head for 2 days, which was unrelieved by Paracetamol intake. On the morning of admission, she collapsed in the bathroom and was found by the husband after 3 hours. She was brought to the hospital via ambulance and upon initial assessment, no shortness of breath, slurred speech, dizziness, palpitation and chest pain were noted. Her vital signs were as follows: blood pressure of 169/59 mmHg, pulse rate of 80 bpm, respiratory rate of 18 breaths per minute, body temperature of 37.5 degrees...

...educations main forum is a community college, where the program is 2 years and more focused on clinical skills. Most community colleges are in close proximity to student’s homes and cost less than a university education. An associate degree lacks theory and science behind nursing as a profession. A baccalaureate degree educations main forum is a university where the program is 4 years. It encompasses the essentials of the associate degree and expands the focus on physical and social sciences, research, theory, public and community health, management and humanities. A BSN education provides more for students and can create the nurses needed in today’s expanding health care system. (Lane and Kohlenberg, 2010) Research is linking nursing education to patient outcomes. Many surveys and researches have verified that higher levels of education impact the quality of care that patients receive to their outcome and whether their nurse possessed an associate or baccalaureate degree. In the October 2012 issue of Medical care, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania found that surgical patients in Magnet hospitals had 14% lower odds of inpatient death within 30 days and 12% lower odds of failure-to-rescue compared with patients cared for in non-Magnet hospitals. The study authors conclude that these better outcomes were attributed in large part to investments in highly qualified and educated nurses, including a higher proportion of baccalaureate prepared nurses.

...lethal injection. Where as the definition of assisted suicide is a physician prescribes a lethal dose of medication and the patient on his or her own will have to perform the act of consuming the medication to cause death. There are many ethical implications that arise from either option. “In the balance are crucial issues: personal autonomy, dignity, compassion, ending suffering, protection of the vulnerable, promotion of good palliative care, and redefinition of the role of the physician in death and dying” (Van Norman, (2012). It is imperative for nurses to be conscious of their obligations professionally, educated on the laws surrounding the issue, who the stakeholders involved are, the impact on social values/morals, and the ethical theories and principals involved. Nursing Obligation According to the American Nurses Association nurses are never allowed to have any part in euthanasia, such actions would be a direct violation of the Nursing Code of Ethics. “Nurses have an obligation to provide humane, comprehensive, and compassionate care that respects the rights of patients but upholds the standards of the profession in the presence of chronic, debilitating illness and at end-of-life” (ANA Position Statement, 2013). The nurse must educate patient and family members, and always advocate the patient’s wishes when end of...

...terms and health care history Woody Johnson HCS/440 June 12, 2013 During history, health care economics has changed considerably. The main reason that stimulus change in health care economic are technology and medical care, however a lot has to do with evolutionary changes that the U.S. endured from the beginning. It is very essential to comprehend health care cash flow system and economic history. Administrators use this data to help organize the future of the corporation. In this paper, I plan to use the terms to elaborate on the history and evolution of health care economics and the timeline of finance. Before the year of 1990, there was not a significant health care in America. American medical association was just starting, individual were using home remedy to treat illnesses, physician was making house call and trade service for good, clinic were just getting started, and there were no such thing as health insurance. However, among the age of 1901 and 1940 health care and treatment made some significant change. Clinic became more necessary Antibiotics were found, improvements were made in cleanliness, and individuals came up with ideas for employment benefit. Also, individuals came up with ideas for health insurance. In the year of 1960 social security has been carried out, Medicare & Medicaid contracted into law, and Health Insurance Company were coming up all over (PBS, 1960). In the year of 1970, HMO came in effect, and the cost of health care started going...
