Article Summary: Improper Verification In Nursing

The medical advances are meaningless unless early detection is practiced diligently by those in health care. As such, health care providers are not to be protected from liability where there is expert testimony showing that he or she reduced the patient’s chances of survival. As such, the courts reversed the judgment of the court of appeals and remand the matter to the trial

Prevention of medication errors is an ongoing initiative in the field of nursing. Medication errors jeopardize a patient’s safety, which results in vast costs to correct the effects of the error and it could potentially prevent the reimbursement from insurance companies to the hospital. Often times the nurse is the only person to catch an error with a written prescription or the incorrect dose sent to the nursing unit from the pharmacy. As a result, it is usually the nurse’s responsibility to speak up when an error is identified rather than administering a medication due to the mere fact that an order was written by the physician. While there are many medication errors which occur in the hospital setting, most of those errors, however occur after a patient has been discharged to home (“Severe Harm and Death,” 2016).

Shortly after another infant had also died from an increased amount of digoxin. The hospital heavily regulated the drug called Digoxin and gave a select few access to the drug in response to the infants unfortunate deaths. Susan Nelles was a nurse working in the hospital at the time of every infant’s death. Most of the infants who died, due to the high amounts of digoxin, were in Nelles’ care. Nelles was also one of the few who had common access to the drug in charge of regulating the rhythmic pattern of the heart.

As it was tied loose blood kept dripping little bit for long time until my grandma noticed and scolded nurses and doctor who helped my mother give birth. That was my first encounter to death. My family was expecting a boy but as I was first baby they accepted me. However, my mother had to go through 9 abortions in between after my birth, spared my sister in between, then my brother who is 9 and ½ year younger than me was born. So, it’s Average

I am glad that the doctor did this first instead of accusing Mr. B. of seeking drugs or becoming an addicted to his pain killers. The sad part about this case is that the abuser did not realize the danger, pain and suffered that her uncle was going through. I believe her actions to switch the drugs were intentional, but I do not believe her motive was not to harm him because the medication was switched with over-the-counter pills. It was her drug habit that caused her to lose control of what was more important. I knew that this case was going to call for restoration of health for Mr. B. and planning an intervention for the caregiver.

Things were getting so bad that doctors told me I might needed to get a surgery. I panicked and say no. I was not going to let them do that to me. They decided to try one more medicine called Depakote and it worked! It controlled both seizures, so I didn’t need to go under surgery no more.

October 2003, my family was stuck with tragedy. Chloe my little sister started to become ill, she started out with acute symptoms such as pyrexia, rash, hemiplegia, and arthralgia. After two trips to her Primary Care Physician they just continued to claim she had the flu. After a month of her symptoms developing and becoming worse a trip to Miner Medical Center was the only answer. Only being there for about an hour she was transported via life flight to Children’s Hospital in Pittsburg.

The United States is trying to create a worldwide immunity against diseases that are easily preventable by making it required. It protects children from getting sick. Many misleading accusations were said like how vaccinations are dangerous and can cause autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), diabetes, etc.. That is not true. They have no relationship towards vaccines. A child got autism and his mother assumed it was because of the vaccination he recently got, but it was not true.

The work in the pediatric field is essential for the future, because if we just dropped it there would be no medical benefits for children around the world. We would have to create a whole new structure in the medical field just to help give them to annual checkups, shots, or vaccines so they don’t get sick. We would need to keep the pediatric field in the future, because if we stopped the millions of kids around the world relying on it may die because, they wouldn’t know if they had a sickness or if they did they wouldn’t be able to treat it for the most part without harming themselves more in the

There are four common criticisms against physician assisted suicide. First, critics say physician assisted suicide endangers the weak and marginalized in society. In some countries which allow assisted suicide, like Netherlands, there have been many cases where doctors gave lethal drugs without a request from patients and failed to report this to authorities. Critics of assisted suicide believe that safeguards against wrongdoing may not be enough. Second, physician assisted suicide may change the culture in which medicine is practiced.

• The physician has suggested the wrong size of medication to the patient or the prescribed amount of medicine may be right but the nurse has given a wrong one. • The physician may have provided a high amount of sleeping drug to the patient without realizing his/her medical record or have not tell the patient about safety tips that can be considered. • The physician has employed substandard equipment or equipment during surgical operation. • All the way through surgery, the physician has treated the wrong side or could not take certain instruments out of the body. If a patient or suffered person experience medical negligence, the reason of bringing a compensation claim is not to safe him/her for what they are obliged rather the objective is to recover what a person gets damages in the shape of unemployment or loss of business that can contribute to loss of income according to the extent of the injuries and negligence that he/ she has dealt with.

But not all tumors are life-threatening. Experts say doctors can’t tell which breast tumors are harmless; so many mammograms produce a “false positive”. These false results can cause women to have surgery, radiation and other unnecessary treatments. Despite the new changes, the American Cancer Society says it’s still important for a woman to talk with her doctor about her risk, and decide what’s best for her health. If she decides to get a mammogram between the ages of 40-44, can still get one, and women older than 55 can still get one every year.

I asked my Grandmother, when you finally went for your scan and the results came out positive what was your first reaction? She answered in tears and said i immediately fell to the ground in shock, “I suffered through the treatment and ended up in breast conserving surgery were i got my left side breast removed, over a 2 months of healing after being in hospital for 1 week after my surgery, after a couple of months after my surgery i went for my weekly check up and the Doctor then informed me that i had to get a mastectomy done on my right breast because the cancer cells had spread too and also a bit just by armpit , i am now 77 and finally recovered from the removal of both my breast and now i am proud to say i am Cancer free but in saying that i will never again hesitate getting a check up to insure I’m well. Because my grandmother was a victim to this disease me and my 5 sisters have a great chance of also getting breast cancer. My grandmother asked me to research some of the symptoms that could possible indicate that i may have breast

An estimated 12% of nurses leave nursing annually because of back injuries and more than half complain of chronic back pain. As a future nurse, this is startling and makes me apprehensive to work in a hospital environment with patient care, breaking my back was not part of my job description (www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ osh2_11082012.htm.) According to the American Nurse Association thirty-five years of research show that training alone is not effective. There is also little evidence that gait belts are effective. It is also a complete myth that just because a nurse is physically fit, they are less

Having the fear of being mistreated and used for experimentation made the Lacks’ even more upset about Henrietta’s death. They were not educated so when the doctor would say something scientific they would trust every word while not even understanding what he was saying. This part of informed consent was stressed throughout the book because in today’s society most people have enough education to have a general idea what is going on when they are at the hospital about to have a procedure done, making it seem
