ANA (American Nurses Association) uses an a-like deontology example “For example, we have begun not to use restraints on older people for their safety and to think of other measures. We do this because restraining someone against his or her will could not be considered a universal law.” (ANA). In relation, we now us informed consents to allow patients autonomy or the right to make their own decisions, instead of doing it for them because it’s their own will to decide what health care treatment they want and don’t want. In this case Linda didn’t consent to the feeding tube and the right thing to do would be to discontinue as patient
Hi Tekia! • Constructive feedback on the Intervention Plan detailed in the Case Summary: Your decision to use a solution-focus approach with Abby seems appropriate for the behaviors she has displayed.

Sympathy is when a provider shows emotional connection to what the patient is saying. Sympathy is not a recommended form of acknowledgement because it can make the patient feel worse or as if they are being pitied. Servellen also touched upon the importance of active listening. Providers should not only hear to what the patient is saying, but also take time to really listen and understand. He also included the steps that should be taken in order to be empathetic towards a patient which include: identification, incorporation, reverberation and detachment.
Rothman (2013) states that this model “care is envisioned as a sincere concern for the well-being of another: a concern which then creates a context for action on the part of the person who cares toward to person who is the object of care” (p.22). This theory can be applied to this case study because Dot cared about the well-being of Harry and did not like the way that he was being treated by his mother. Her approach to documenting the encounter was inappropriate, but she wanted Harry to be in an environment where he did not have to experience his mother degrading him in such a way. Due to Harry’s behavioral problems and his living conditions Dot was focused on the environment that he was living in which in turn may have contributed to his behavioral problems along with his living conditions that he was experiencing. Because Dot cared about Harry’s well-being she let her values and opinions get involved which led to her speaking negatively about Harry’s mother.
Possible consequences are that the counselor could harm the client by not providing the professional services needed as general counselor in a small community. Option 2 and Consequence: The counselor could accept to seek the client which is a close friend of the counselor, and provide the professional services that the counselor is trained to provide, including explaining the client the benefits of the services, limitations, consent, confidentiality, and responsibilities. The consequence could be if the client still sees the counselor as a friend and not as a professional counselor and they could eventually stop coming for sessions and affect the friendship in the long run. Option 3 and Consequence: The counselor could explain to the client (which is the counselor’s friend) the reason why the counselor could not be beneficial for the client; and that the client should seek counseling with a person that the client doesn’t have a friendship with. The counselor needs to avoid doing harm to the client and promote wellbeing for the client.
It is important that family therapy needs to encourage family relationships to thrive. According to Hardy, it is most important that the therapist needs to help clients in emotional distress. (Hardy, 2001). It is important that the therapist
I would also encourage that they seek out supervision and/or consultation about what is means to be culturally competent counselor and to assess their understanding of microagressions. I can also say that I would be frustrated by the experience, but I would be less likely to hold onto that experience as a representation of who I am as a person versus who they are as a professional
It is also hard for abusers to trust the people that are trying to help them because they feel attacked in a way. At this point the abuser feels like the whole world is against him or
“don 't walk barehead in the hot sun”, I could have taken any other sentences from “Girl” poem, because most of them contain the same meaning. The meaning of how a mother takes care of her children. Yes, in a weird and very rude way. I can assume that author 's mother had a difficult life, or either experienced unstable relationships with her parents that affected her life since then, but she would never tell anyone about them. People have a tendency of making mistakes.
Individuals with developmental or cognitive disabilities may not benefit from MI. This means of therapy requires the cognitive ability to explore barriers and problem solve to achieve change, in individuals who are not able to process complex thoughts, this means of intervention would be impractical. As the field of social work expands, increased awareness is being focused in relation to limitations of practice and how clinicians can best adapt their practice to meet the changing needs of the population. The concept of trauma is taking on a large role within the field in consideration to both, client and practitioner. Individuals with extensive trauma history may be inappropriate for MI, as reliving traumatic experiences can seriously impact the progress of a patient.
The decision of the alcoholic to get treatment and the motivation to go
I believe it is best to keep a distance from Sharon, because it will help avoid future conflicts between me and her. Also, I think that my supervisors will be against me being Sharon’s therapist because it will go against the company’s policy. In other words, it will be hard to draw the line between professional and personal life between the two of us. Furthermore, in the ethical principles of the psychologist, and code of conduct, it is acceptable for the therapist to terminate the therapy with a client that has an intimate relationship with someone that can alter the treatment of the client. Also in the ethical standards for human services field, engaging ourselves in a close relationship with a client is prohibited.
Making sure a person is safe should be everyone 's number one priority. Even though people go to therapists because they want someone to talk to who won 't judge them or divulge their secrets, divulging information about harming another person does not fall under that category. I agree that it can be very difficult for a therapist to decide when a patient actually intends on following through with the death threats or if the patient is just trying to vent. However, if he or she is a good therapist, then he or she should know their patient well enough to decide whether they are being serious.
