Clinical Institute Withdrawal Case Study

While withdrawal symptoms are at their highest, individuals may feel a strong desire to begin using drugs again. Reaching out to drugs and alcohol for relief is a common occurrence during withdrawals. If the patient is at a Louisville alcohol rehab center, the withdrawal process is supervised so that they cannot access any drugs. This heightens the chances that you will be able to obtain and maintain a sober lifestyle. What to Look for in a Rehab Center Every person is different, so you need a rehab center that offers personalized programs that are tailored to your needs.

As a student, one of my competency to achieved to become a professional nurse is medication administration. Since medication error can kill, there is the need to be vigilant at all time in dispensing under supervision. I have managed to disperse quite a few times but occasionally get muddled with the whole process by doing little errors and the pace at which I administer needs to be faster due to factor of time and the amount of patient lined up for medication. I have noticed some errors that needs to back up all the time. I have discussed with my mentor {and all areas of weakness have been recognized as a great opportunity for improving my experience in medication administration.

As the number of medication errors continues to rise daily, I believe the need for continuous advocacy at government level for safer medication administration policies and systems are in desperate need. And who better than nurses to advocate for these needs. Since nurses are in an ideal position to influence and demand change, I would collaborate with other fellow nurses to call, set up meetings or writing letters to government officials addressing the prevalence and effects of medication errors. I would also request for safer medication administration system or software that are user friendly. Lastly I would reach out to the Board of Nursing about nurse’s license revocation after an error is committed and request for lesser punishment instead

Introduction During nursing practice, a nurse faces several clinical issues. This paper aims at selecting and reviewing a clinical issue for further study to be made in the final year project along with the significance of selection. It also provides guideline to resolve this problem. Clinical Issue Analysis Nursing requires a proper and suitable approach for effective and influential practices. However, in hospitals of US, nurses have been facing different clinical issues (Sharifcorresponding & Masoumi, 2005).

The Rex Nursing Professional Practice Model were discussed. At the center of the model is excellent patient outcomes. Nurses support the organization and are the foundation of the model. Next meeting nursing strategic plan will be discussed. Helene discussed with me “appreciative inquiry.” Helene explained that while she is aware that there are things in the organization that are not running smoothly, she decided to start the meeting using “appreciative inquiry” by using the positive principle and looking at strengths of different

Throughout clinical practice this semester I have been able to address difference in nursing care, work alongside other heath care workers. During one of my shifts there were many times during the day where the RN on my team challenged my skills. For example, I was hanging an IV line for a client and had labeled the tubing to ensure that it was changed every 24 hrs. The RN went on to challenge this as she felt it was unnecessary and I should have labeled it to be changed every 72 hrs. I explained that I had done it because the IV wasn’t being run all day.

Now, it could have been an issue with dysmotility in the small bowel, but there are no good tests for that, so the team ordered a capsule-endoscopy to check the entire length of her alimentary canal and measure the time it took from mouth-to-anus, which would clue us in on motility issues. I got to discuss my ideas and hear theirs on the patient and I really enjoyed the team aspect of internal medicine. Unfortunately, my time ended with the service and I didn’t get to figure out if my suggestions proved if her diarrhea was factitious, or know the results of the capsule-endoscopy or colonoscopy, but I still appreciate the openness of the team to my ideas and that these ideas turned into action. One of the residents even chimed that this would be a great case report, so I should probably follow-up with them soon! In contemplating my experience, I recall stating my fear of things becoming too routine in my potential career in internal medicine or surgery,

For the clinical evaluation; I believe that I demonstrates clinical judgment, integrates the nursing process with my patient whom had really bad lab valves and what to give first.. I have integrated safety standards with medication. I believe I also integrated caring behaviors into the communication process by listening to my patients and providing pain med’s in a timely manner. I also modifies therapeutic communication strategies and communicates health care information by talking to the nurse, talking to the patient though her wound care and my team leader. Teaching was provided to each of my patient by modifying how they learn and evaluates the teaching provide to the patients.

Knowledge and assessment skills are required to improve the patient safety (4, 17-19). Clinical pharmacist can play an important role in nurse training as an effective method to reduce food-drug interactions in hospitals (18). However, we found that patients who instructed by nurses were also at high risk for potential food-drug interactions. It means that they do not pay enough attention to nurse recommendation. But they should know that communicating with physicians and pharmaceutical consultants seems to be an effective ways to preventing food-drug interaction interactions (19).

The nursing task may not only separate the drug to patient but also the daily care for patient, for instance, to feed patient and give wound dressing. To face on the multiple-task problem of nurse, there must enhance the awareness and reduce workload for nurse so that the quality of care can improved. Stage 5. Conclusion In this practicum, I observed a lot of nursing practice from nurse staff. Although they are careless to handle the preparation of medication, there should be alert to patient safety and to improve the quality of nursing care which is professional.
