This allowed her to center within her feelings and see that we cared to notice how she is doing and how we are interested in how we can help. The second theme that I used to help de-escalate was differing interventions using non-verbal communication. I maintained eye contact without going over board which is a great technique to use when dealing with an agitated person (Price & Baker, 2012, p. 314). Similarly, I maintained a close enough distance to the patient in order to seem open and wanting to be present to listen, but far enough away to ensure my own safety. Lastly, I used personal control of my own feeling to remain calm with the patient as they escalated further from calm.

One in four people is a pretty large ratio. These people could be your family or friends, and the fact that many of them are not able to receive the proper treatment that they require should be alarming. Mental illness affects more lives than one would expect and this epidemic could be easily solved if mental healthcare were to be more accessible. Currently, The United States spends as little $113 billion on mental health treatment. That works out to about 5.6 percent of the national health-care spending, according to a 2011

Zutshi 1 ENC 1101 20 September 2014 Universal Healthcare: America's Savior? A long debated hot topic, the implementation of Universal Healthcare within the United States is growing in importance as the currently administered health care system is one of the worst out of all developed, and even some under-developed countries. Many countries ensure healthcare to their citizens as a basic right, while in the United States there are approximately 45 million uninsured, and many more under-insured.

In the book Anthem by Ayn Rand, the main character, Equality 7-2521 stated that in this society most people only live to be around 45. I have some theories as to why this is. They are, the government is trying to control population, Once you stop working you are mistreated and malnourished and, the technology and medicine that we have now and before the new society was erected, are no longer present and have not been rediscovered. My first theory as to why Equality 7-2521 stated that people rarely live to be 45 is because; the government is trying to control population. I think that the government is trying to control population because n the in this society everything runs on someone playing a part in making everything work.

Diminished personal accomplishment is to evaluate oneself negatively because of failure a result it occurs when the individual’s external demands become higher than their coping ability.(Maslach, Schaufeli, leiter., 2001) . Many studies revealed that there is a high prevalence of burnout among nurses worldwide, it can affect approximately 45% of medical and nursing staff .(Abdo, El-Sallamy, El-Sherbiny, & Kabbash., 2015) . Bases upon several studies 25% to 33% of critical care nurses have a symptom of sever burnout syndrome.(Moss, Good, Gozal, Kleinpell, & Sessler., 2016). BURNOUT AMONG NURSES AND QUALITY OF CARE

Triggers, warning signs, and crisis planning are the components of the process, and require interdisciplinary work from the patient, nurse, doctor, counselor and other support staff. As with every human being, stress is a normal part of life. How we cope with those stressors is the difference between mental illness and mental wellness. With patients with substance-abuse issues, their coping mechanism is their substance of choice. So it is important to identify those stressors early on, identify early warning signs, look for inevitable situations where the patient feels like everything is falling apart, and most of all, prevent them from using.

Specific prolonged illnesses, such as diabetes, stroke, and mental conditions, Alzheimer’s diseases are determining factors of placement in a nursing home. Elderly persons who live alone with the inability to accomplish daily functions are another reason for placement. Finally, mild cognitive impairment which is considerably underdiagnosed is reason for placement in nursing homes. Understanding these issues, not all nursing home facilities have services that will provide residents with the necessary help needed. Since these residents must be placed into a facility, and nursing staff remains understaffed, short-handed, and overworked, consequently, abuse, neglect and mistreatment rise to the surface where residents reap this unethical behavior.

The nursing faculty shortage has compounded the nursing shortage since there are not faculty to teach the students. According to Nardi and Gyurko (2013), over 75,000 applicants to nursing programs are denied acceptance due to lack of nursing faculty, clinical sites, and budget constraints. Factors that influenced the faculty shortage included: aging faculty, reduced qualified members in the hiring pool, poor salaries, lack of funding for full-time positions and job dissatisfaction. According to Allen (2008), the nursing shortage will continue to increase healthcare cost, increase the potential risk of harm or injury to patients and decrease access to

The Medical Mistreatment of African Americans throughout History Throughout history, African Americans have been exploited not only through hard labor, but in research facilities and hospitals. African Americans have been tested on, abused, and researched without their consent, knowledge, nor full-understanding. Many times they were given false information to rationalize what was happening to them. African Americans were also not administered anesthetics while undergoing surgeries and other painful procedures.

A patient’s decision-making capacity is variable as their medications or underlying disease processes ebb and flow. You should do what you can to catch a patient in a lucid state - even lightening up on the medications if necessary and safe - in order to include her in the decision making process. Delirious patients have waxing and waning abilities to understand information. However, if a careful assessment is done and documented at each contact, and during lucid periods the patient consistently and persistently makes the same decision over time, this may constitute adequate decisional capacity for the question at

Another role of the FMHN is to promote recovery. Care that promotes recovery enables the patient to integrate into the community and also balances power and priorities between the nurse and the patient (Dorkins and Adshead 2011). This can be difficult and very challenging especially in forensic settings due to the offending behaviour of the patient (Dorkins and Adshead 2011). In a situation where patients are on their way to recovery, are given therapeutic leave to attend groups and to the community. This can help with their recovery and also give the patient autonomy.

The scandal caused the deaths of the people that the program was there to protect. The mismanagement was not only in the waiting lists but also with the money. Four VA construction projects in Las Vegas, Orlando, Denver, and New Orleans an extra cost of $1.5 billion because poor scheduling and unnecessary luxuries.
