Mrs. Smith was a 73-year-old widow who lived alone with no significant social support. She had been suffering from emphysema for several years and had had frequent hospitalizations for respiratory problems. On the last hospital admission, her pneumonia quickly progressed to organ failure. Death appeared to be imminent, and she went in and out of consciousness, alone in her hospital room. The medical-surgical nursing staff and the nurse manager focused on making Mrs. Smith’s end-of-life period as comfortable as possible. Upon consultation with the vice president for nursing, the nurse manager and the unit staff nurses decided against moving Mrs. Smith to the palliative care unit, although considered more economical, because of the need to protect and nurture her because she was already experiencing signs and symptoms of the dying process. Nurses were prompted by an article they read on human caring as the “language of nursing practice” (Turkel, Ray, & Kornblatt, 2012) in their weekly caring practice meetings.

The nurse manager reorganized patient assignments. She felt that the newly assigned clinical nurse leader who was working between both the medical and surgical units could provide direct nurse caring and coordination at the point of care (Sherman, 2012). Over the next few hours, the clinical nurse leader and a staff member who had volunteered her assistance provided personal care for Mrs. Smith. The clinical nurse leader asked the nurse manager whether there was a possibility that Mrs. Smith had any close friends who could “be there” for her in her final moments. One friend was discovered and came to say goodbye to Mrs. Smith. With help from her team, the clinical nurse leader turned, bathed, and suctioned Mrs. Smith. She spoke quietly, prayed, and sang hymns softly in Mrs. Smith’s room, creating a peaceful environment that expressed compassion and a deep sense of caring for her. The nurse manager and nursing unit staff were calmed and their “hearts awakened” by the personal caring that the clinical nurse leader and the volunteer nurse provided. Mrs. Smith died with caring persons at her bedside, and all members of the unit staff felt comforted that she had not died alone.

Davidson, Ray, and Turkel (2011) note that caring is complex, and caring science includes the art of practice, “an aesthetic which illuminates the beauty of the dynamic nurse-patient relationship, that makes possible authentic spiritual-ethical choices for transformation—healing, health, well-being, and a peaceful death” (p. xxiv). As the clinical nurse leader and the nursing staff in this situation engaged in caring practice that focused on the well-being of the patient, they simultaneously created a caring-healing environment that contributed to the well-being of the whole—the emotional atmosphere of the unit, the ability of the clinical nurse leader and staff nurses to practice caringly and competently, and the quality of care the staff were able to provide to other patients. The bureaucratic nature of the hospital included leadership and management systems that conferred power, authority, and control to the nurse manager, the clinical nurse leader, and the nursing staff in partnership with the vice president for nursing. The actions of the nursing administration, clinical nurse leader, and staff reflected values and beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors about the nursing care they would provide, how they would use technology, and how they would deal with human relationships. The ethical and spiritual choice making of the whole staff and the way they communicated their values both reflected and created a caring community in the workplace culture of the hospital unit.

Critical thinking activities

Based on this case study, consider the following questions.

1. What caring behaviors prompted the nurse manager to assign the clinical nurse leader to engage in direct caring for Mrs. Smith? Describe the clinical nurse leader role established by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing in 2004.
2. What issues (ethical, spiritual, legal, social-cultural, economic, and physical) from the structure of the theory of bureaucratic caring influenced this situation? Discuss end-of-life issues in relation to the theory.
3. How did the nurse manager balance these issues? What considerations went into her decision making? Discuss the role and the value of the clinical nurse leader on nursing units. What is the difference between the nurse manager and the clinical nurse leader in terms of caring practice in complex hospital care settings? How does a clinical nurse leader fit into the theory of bureaucratic caring for implementation of a caring practice?
4. What interrelationships are evident between persons in this environment—that is, how were the vice president for nursing, nurse manager, clinical nurse leader, staff, and patient connected in this situation? Compare and contrast the traditional nursing process with Turkel, Ray, and Kornblatt’s (2012) language of caring practice within the theory of bureaucratic caring

Answer the 5 questions in word doc:

1. Briefly describe the 6 steps in the survey process.

2. Explain validity of a survey and provide 3 examples.

3. Explain reliability of a survey and provide 3 examples.

4. Write APPROPRIATE (consider the rules for designing research surveys) questionsandresponses for a questionnaire as follows:

A. You want to know how frequently someone takes multi-vitamins/minerals.

B. You want to find out how much someone sleeps most nights.

C. You want to learn how much someone does weight/resistance training.

5. You are doing a survey of students at your university, and you are ready to send your sample an advance email about the study. Your study examines student perceptions of the availability of healthy foods on campus. Write an “email” (paste it in the answer) that will help keep your response rate high.

If a physician develops a history of disruptive behavior, belittling staff, cursing at coworkers, and being rude and curt to patients, what are the responsibilities of the medical staff, the hospital, and the other professionals involved? Why do you believe that so many staff may be reluctant to report a poorly behaving physician?

I’m working on a nursing multi-part question and need an explanation to help me learn.

POST #1

The Constitution of the World Health Organization(2005), defined health “as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.” The writers of the Constitution were clearly aware of the tendency of seeing health as a state dependent on the presence or absence of diseases: so they added to that definition that an individual, if he is to be considered healthy, should not suffer from any disease (….“and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”).

Other definitions mark health as emotionally, mentally, physically stable. Even with disease, if managed you are still “healthy”

Eating well, exercising adds on to health value. It is different for different people. Different cultures involve different healthy habits and traditional requirements. Health is subjective to personal beliefs. What is morally and healthy correct for some, may be inadequate to others according to their preferences.

In all addition, we have to stick to what is physiologically required to sustain life in adequate conditions.

Post #2

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) definition of health is by far the best known and most widely used, “a state of “complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” (International Health Conference, 1946, p. 1) But it is not a practical definition, and especially does not co-inside with the value based care era we are in. Medical professionals would be the only one to declare someone healthy, and truly who is there that is ever absent of any disease?

I worked in the ER and would take my turn triaging, I would begin by asking if they had any medical problems, so many 65> would tell me, “no I’m in great health I have no medical problems.” Then proceed to rattle off 10 medications they take for HTN, GERD, depression, gout etc. Or I would take their blood pressure and it would be 220/110 and the Blood sugar was 390, in AFIB, they too would say they were in perfect health but when pressed about when they saw their DR, “Oh I don’t see him, I’m not sick, I’m as healthy as a horse.

There are individuals who have high blood pressure but don’t know it because they don’t notice the symptoms, there are some who hear voices or have anxiety and depression but it doesn’t interfere with their normal life so they go about their day living and contributing in their communities, others who feel sick, worn out, in pain but with all the medical testing cannot find anything that shows why they feel like they do. Culture can change the definition of health as well, how they live with disease, seek medical attention, except treatment and how it influences their lives.

Rather than hunting down a population that is “absent of disease”, we need to find one that fits more segments of our population both in our communities, state, nation and not to mention globally.

Managing multiple diseases, maximizing function, optimizing medication regimens, prioritizing different health risks and outcomes, and preparing for end-of-life considerations are some of the areas that deserve to be included in basic definitions of health. (White 1975)
