Discussion Question 2

Identify at least two modes of communication you have used for the elderly in your clinical practice. State what modes of communication were effective and which modes were challenging. Explain why.

Modes of Communication Used for The Elderly Clinical Practice

Two of the communication methods I use for older people in my clinical practice are listening and attending as well as non-verbal communication. Unequivocally, some people do not consider ” listening’” as a “communication.” For them, it seems strange that part of communication includes tranquility. However, listening is essential for excellent communication and is particularly crucial for one as a health care worker. I work closely with more elderly patients and often reveal vital things to me. In fact, some may prefer to use me instead of staff writing about what they feel or things that stress them because they need to know and trust me.

In addition, nonverbal communication is regularly represented by “body language’. Body language speaks volumes about the benefits and commitment of people in their communication. Despite the fact that people say the right things, the message can be lost if the body language suggests thinking of something completely different. The nonverbal communication of individuals speaks volumes about their benefit and commitment to the communication they have. It is essential that their posture, facial expression, outward appearance, and touch match the words they say (Standring, 2015).

Both methods were effective communication modes for me. This is because when listening and attending to the patients, I was able to understand the patients and treat them as per their needs. When it comes to body language as a non-verbal communication mode, I used different aspects such as body posture, eye contact, facial expression as well as touch. With a proper body posture and eye contact, the elderly people will feel conformable and trust the clinical officer so that they can get treated. Approaching them with a smile, a body language that shows that as a clinical officer, one is ready to help them, they will communicate their problem clearly, and that will help in treating them well (Ganasegeran et al., 2017).

Professor question to my assignment:

 Please elaborate on what exactly you mean by “listening and attending”. 

Nursing – Clinical Reasoning Cycle – Medical-Surgical Nursing – Case Study Assignment Help

Case :

Melody King, 36, Peritonitis following ruptured appendix:

Ms. Melody King presented to the Emergency department with 2-3 days of severe Right Lower Quadrant abdominal pain, which required emergency laparoscopic surgery for removal of a ruptured appendix. She has a past medical history of asthma and depression, with her current prescribed and compliant medications list which includes Ventolin, Seretide, Sertraline.

Melody’s observations were as follows:

BP 95/45mmHg

HR 120

Temp 38.3°Celcius

RR 22/min and shallow

SpO2 95% on room air

She complained of increasing nausea and centralised abdominal pain 7-8 on a scale of 0 to10. Physical assessment showed a distended abdomen and generalised abdominal guarding. To investigate her condition further, pathology results reveal a raised white blood cell (WBC) count and CRP. You are the RN caring for Melody post-operatively on the surgical ward.

Task :

Task, will take the form of a case study, in the field of medical-surgical nursing, which discusses the provision of ethical, legal, evidence-based, holistic person-centred care including the establishment of realistic and relevant goals through the theoretical examination of a particular nursing specialty case study using the Clinical Reasoning Cycle (Levett-Jones, 2013).

Utilise the Clinical Reasoning Cycle (Levett-Jones, 2013) (a clinical decision making framework) to plan and evaluate person-centred care:

Considering the person’s situation, collect, process and present related health information;

Identify and prioritise at least three (3) nursing problems/issues based on the health assessment data that you have identified for the person at the centre of care;

Establish goals for priority of nursing care as related to the nursing problem/issues identified;

Discuss the nursing care of the person, link it to assessment data and history;

Evaluate your nursing care strategies to justify the nursing care provided;

Reflect on the person’s outcomes.

“The complexity of financing in health care is one of the primary characteristics of medical care delivery in the United States” (Shi & Singh, 2012, p. 129). There are numerous reimbursement methods (e.g., capitation, fee-for-service, package pricing, etc.) that are used by health care organizations and providers to get paid for the health care services that they provide. Building upon your Individual Project from Phase 1, write a 3-5 page paper not including a title page and reference page that contains the following:

  • Summarize 3 different reimbursement methods that are used by health care providers and organizations.
  • Choose which method(s) will work best for the health care facility that you have proposed to be developed, and explain why you chose that method(s).
  • Discuss the pros and cons of the reimbursement method(s) that you chose.
  • Discuss the impact that the method(s) may have on the financial operations of the facility that you chose.

How are women depicted in popular culture today? The expression “sex sells” can readily be validated by looking in virtually any magazine, those geared for either men or women.

  1. Look in five different types of magazines to find five images of how a woman is depicted. What is the purpose of the image/ad? How is the woman being depicted? What are the intentions of the figure? And how do you, the viewer, feel towards this woman and/or the intentions of the image/ad? 100-300 words
  2. Then as an extension of this project, choose one image of particular interest. Copy or scan to create a black and white image. Incorporate a contrasting or provocative statement in red, similar to Barbara Kruger’s work Untitled (Your body is a battleground).

Risk Management and Business Continuity

Complete the readings this week as well as reviewing the IT Strategic Plan, Part 2 assignment and the “IHS Risk Management Guide” (from Week 3) before completing this week’s discussion.

This discussion is to help prepare you for the ITSP, Part 2 assignment. The concepts being discussed here relate to risk management and business continuity planning from the business perspective. In your ITSP Part 2 assignment you will discuss these topics from an IT perspective.  Provide a response to one of the following:

  1. Referring to the ITSP, Part 2 assignment #4 and the GGFRT case study, you will identify some risks that the CIO needs to consider.  For this discussion, we will focus on risks that the business should be concerned with.  Apply what you know about the business environment and come up with and explain 3 risks related to the business environment (not IT-related risks).  Explain what impact the risk has on the business, how likely it is to occur, and how it can be prevented or mitigated.
  2. Referring to the ITSP, Part 2 assignment #5 and the GGFRT case study, regarding developing a business continuity plan for GGFRT, the first step is to identify the essential business processes that sustain ongoing operations of GGFRT.  Reviewing the case study, identify 3 essential business processes.  Explain how these processes (not systems) could continue in the event of a disaster that makes their IT systems and their current buildings unavailable.
TOPIC: COMMUNICATION AND MARRIAGE
This paper serves two purposes.
The first purpose is to develop and provide insight on a communication topic.  Make sure your topic is specific enough.  (example: “Managing conflict within a friendship”)
The second purpose is to allow you to apply the communication concept to the “real world”.
For the application part of the paper I would suggest using a skill, case study, situation, examples, etc. to show how the communication concept is applied.
4-6 pages, double spaced, typed or printed, with a minimum of five sources in your bibliography. Good use of spelling, organizing, Plan on using APA  format for your citations
