. Describe the growth and developmental tasks that were displayed by the child you interacted with in this setting (Erikson, Piaget and Freud). Were these tasks age appropriate? Did you assess any developmental challenges in the client that you interacted with? How were they dealt with (by you and by the health care team)?
Answer: the child is 14-year -old. According to Erickson stage, she is in the stage of identity Vs role confusion. She displayed sense of personal identity with a strong sense of self and a feeling of independence and control. For example, she diagnosed with type I diabetes. When the nurse teached her about the disease, how to control the blood sugar and administered the insulin properly. The nurse told her mom to supervise

Primary prevention is to prevent disease or injury before it ever occurs. In this facility, the staff provides this prevention by preventing exposures to hazards that cause disease or injury, altering unhealthy or unsafe behaviors that can lead to disease or injury. The facility is also required immunization to prevent infectious diseases.
The CMS facility did address secondary prevention by detecting and treat a disease early on. For example, there was a kid she is 8 year old she came for hypothyroidism. She also had some symptoms of diabetes. The nurse screened her for diabetes by doing urine test, Accu check, and A1C. The result was positive diabetes type II.
The CMS facility also did address the tertiary prevention by reducing the damage and disability caused by symptomatic disease. It also maximizes the remaining capabilities and functions of an already disabled patient. Goals of tertiary prevention include: reduce the impact of an ongoing illness or injury that has lasting effects. This is done by helping parents and children manage long-term, often-complex health problems and injuries (e.g. diabetes, rehabilitation). 4. Describe the members of the health care team in this setting. Define their roles and interactions that were

Identify two basic ethical principles applicable to this clinical setting. Explain why you chose these particular principles. Describe each ethical principle and how it was evident.
Answer: Privacy and Confidentiality and Fidelity. The nurse must maintain privacy and confidentiality involves only sharing patient information on a need-to-know basis. Actions in healthcare delivery are structured and governed by HIPPA law. The nurse must act to prevent breaches of confidentiality. For example, the supervisor did not agree to allow two students in the room with the doctor in other to ensure privacy and confidentiality.
Fidelity: Fidelity is referred to integrity, which is done by loyalty, fairness, truthfulness, advocacy, and dedication that is motivated by an underlying principle of care. The nurse practices fidelity by remaining committed and keeping promises. For example, when the patient was in the room with the nurse she said that the doctor is very busy right now I will be back to check on you before she is coming. Five minutes after she goes back and talk to the patient while she is talking the doctor comes
During this developmental interview, I chose to conduct an observation/interview study with my one of my cousin’s child. This child is a 4 year old girl and will be identified as “child K” in relation to her first name. Her parents had no problem letting me interview her, but I had them stay in the same room as us. The purpose of this interview was to observe the child’s physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development. I observed her behavior and gave her several tests to show how well she has progressed.
According to the Commission on Chronic Health Model (1957), Mr. Berns would encounter all three indicated levels of prevention. This includes primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. Primary prevention occurs before the situation even occurs, secondary prevention deals with the circumstance after the impact has already happened, and tertiary prevention assists in helping the population continuously cope with something that will be ongoing. Orchard Hill exercises primary prevention methods by educating students on a variety of social and emotional hazards. One initiative that is practiced throughout kindergarten through sixth grade is the 7 Habits.
Nurses must follow beneficence which means to do good. Nurses do not want to harm a patient in any way. They must provide confidentiality and privacy when going thru the process with their patient. Patient’s have the right to autonomy which is the freedom to make choices about issues that affect one’s life, free from lies, restraint, or coercion. Nurse’s must provide care that is patient centered even when the nurse might not agree with the patient, he or she still has their rights.
Prevention is the reduction or avoiding the risks of diseases and ill health primarily through medical intervention. So, preventative measures are a variety of interventions that can be undertaken to prevent or delay the occurrence of diseases and can reduce further transmission or exposure to disease. According to Tannahil’s model there are three tiers of prevention; primary, secondary and tertiary as also mentioned in ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬better detail in AO3.
Ethics Assignment Introduction Confidentiality is an ethical value that remains deeply rooted in the nursing profession and has always been the cornerstone of the nurse-patient relationship. Since the days as nursing students, we were constantly reminded of the significance in maintaining patient’s confidentiality. The Oxford dictionary defines confidentiality as intended to be kept secret while the Cambridge dictionary defines it as the state of being secret.
Working in the healthcare setting, a nurse will be faced with kinds of predicament. In the healthcare setting, nurses are faced with cultural and personal belief from families and patients. These beliefs and values sometimes affect the way nurses care for and educate patients. Nurse must be able to address concern that will benefit the client in their teaching. In the case with Angie and Mark from the neighborhood assignment, I will educate them the benefit of immunization and the risk of not immunizing.
Privacy was a main focus for my patient, she seemed uncomfortable at times during procedures, so I assisted as much as possible to maintain her privacy when appropriate. Her support system included dad, big sister, and grandmother present at the bedside throughout the entire birthing process. Each were extremely hands on, offering comfort, support, and praise to mom. Prior to delivery, my nurse and I provided mom with instructions on peri care after delivery, immunization information for Baby S, and also lactation information, as mom had expressed the desire for exclusive breastfeeding. Throughout the laboring process, frequent contact with her Physician, and anesthesiologist was made to keep the team updated on her current
The focal point of this research is to distinguish the significance of confidentiality in the clinical settings and the potential impacts when the breach of confidentiality occurred. This research will discuss the potential harm of the Confidentiality in the clinical settings. This will discuss the basic laws and guiding principles that would help the readers to gain ideas on how to keep the high standard of safeguarding the information. In addition to that, we will discuss a few scenarios of confidentiality issue in terms of Ethics, Legal and social perspective. At the end of the research, there is a sample form of what must appear in the Confidentiality form to clearly view the basic information
Introduction Formulated in ancient Greece over 2500 years ago, the Hippocratic Oath has long been used as a pledge for medical practitioners to uphold the highest ethical standards in the course of their practice (North, 2002; Eva, 2013). During the course of modern medical history, many modern adaptations continue to be used as a symbolic rite of passage for new doctors (Holmboe & Bernabeo, 2013; Kantarjian & Steensma, 2014). One of the cornerstones of medical ethics highlighted in the original text, which remains relevant even in the present day is the concept of patient confidentiality. Patient confidentiality is the state of keeping private and secure the information of a patient-doctor encounter.
• Surrounding the 5 tenets is ring stressing coordination between policies, processes, and practices. • The outermost ring reflects the need for improved coordination between health and education as described by components of the original CHS approach, including: (a) health education, (b) nutrition environment and services, (c) employee wellness, (d) social and emotional school climate, (e) physical environment, (f) health services, (g) counseling, psychological, and social services, (h) community involvement, (i) family engagement, and (j) physical education and physical activity. Of particular importance to our study, the sections involving health education, nutrition environment and services, and physical education and physical activity are most
Everything in the realm of medicine deals with the topic of confidentiality. The medical definition of confidentiality is, “The right of
For a period of 5 weeks I explained in detail about the policies and procedures to be carried out daily. I clearly told her in each individual session the way to do the hand overs, allocating the residents to the care staff, administration of medication including the injections, doing doctors rounds and carry out the orders. I clearly defined her role and responsibilities on her unit. I gave specific instructions to her in doing assessments and care plans. I supervised her performance while administering medications especially giving injections.
The nurse listened to the students and began educating them about things out their control and making the right decision to practice safe
This is one of the most important principle in the practice of medicine whereby the patient 's personal health information is to be protected from being disclosed to others without consent or permission. It fosters trust, respect and willingness to seek continuity of care. When health care providers share of sensitive details particularly when conditions such as psychiatric and sexual health concerns , they face ethical and legal responsibilities violating the patient 's right to confidentiality. Although, there are exceptional situations to patient confidentiality such as concern for safety and if the state legally requires to report a particular condition like educating the public for a communicable disease.
In addition, as a resource person, the nurse must provide particular required data that will aid in the understanding of a problem or new circumstance. However, when taking the role of a teacher, the nurse may convey knowledge in reference to the patient’s needs. As a leader, one must help the patient to assume maximum responsibility for meeting treatment objectives in a commonly fulfilling way (Theory of Interpersonal Relations, 2012). In a counselling role, he or she may resolve issues that are meddling with the patient’s capacity to live effectively (Belcher and Fish, 1985). Lastly, when a nurse takes the role of a surrogate he or she needs to elucidate domains of dependence, interdependence and independence.
