He was born on August 27, 1906 and died on July 26, 1984. He was born in La Crosse, Wisconsin. He lived with his dad, his mom, and his older brother named Henry. His dad was an alcoholic while his mother was very religious whom he was super devoted to. His parents only stayed together due to their religious beliefs about divorce.

It has come to the attention of many law enforcement, doctors, and citizens that the drug Xanax is being often used illegally among teenagers as a source of entertainment, and later addiction. Xanax, sometimes called Alprazolam, is an anti-anxiety drug that has the effect of making whoever takes it feel light and care-free. In the United States, Xanax is commonly prescribed to help with anxiety, and in the United Kingdoms is can be doctor prescribed. Unfortunately, some people get their hands on it through illegal means, and can hurt them self and others because they don’t know how to use it properly. A previous Xanax addiction can have negative effects on one's mental health by causing them paranoia, memory loss, and by extreme stomach pains

This past summer, while employed at Perelman School of Medicine, I worked in a very diverse environment. Both my lab, the students in my program, as well as the other labs around of us had diverse ethnic backgrounds such as international students and people of Asian, African, Indian, and Arabic descent. While being in the minority was a new experience for me, I really enjoyed working and living in a multicultural environment. It is a humbling experience to truly understand how limited my individual scope of the world is and it made me much more receptive and considerate to the ideas of others.

This paper will explain the seven principles of patient-clinician communication. It will then apply three of those principles to my interactions with my patients. Next, it will describe three methods being used in my area of practice to improved communication between the patients and clinicians. It will ultimately choose one of those principles that applies best to my practice and clearly describe how I use it. It will describe ethical principles that can be applied to issues with patient-clinician communication. Finally, it will explain the importance of ethics in communication and how patient safety is influenced by good or bad team communication.

According to Julia Wood (2004), “communication is a systemic process in which individuals interact with and through symbols to create and interpret meanings. However, Sheppard (1993) suggests that, in the nurse–patient relationship, communication involves more than the transmission of information; it also involves transmitting feelings, recognizing these feelings and letting the patient know that their feelings have been recognized (M, 1993)”. It is a two way process. The patient conveys their fears and concerns to their nurse and helps them make a correct nursing diagnosis. An excellent communication skill between nurses and patients is essential for the successful outcome of individualized nursing care of each patient. The ability to communicate

No matter how hard we may try, the importance of interprofessional collaboration in the healthcare system cannot be stressed enough. Of course, interprofessional care has a wide range of advantages in the smooth operating of a team. What is also to be taken into account, however, is the unbounded benefits from the patient’s perspective. As we all know – unfortunately many from our own experiences – the road to recovery requires not only the carefully calibrated skills and expertise of the individual but also the cooperation and constant communication of a vast team of healthcare providers. Through this complex operation come the many advantages to the patient’s treatment and overall health.

I’ve spent the past two years volunteering with the Hamilton District school board working in the classroom children. Last year I worked with grade one class and this year I have worked with the grade 6 students. My role each year has been to work with the students need extra help an extra time to complete their work. When I have found is that although these students can’t keep up in the regular classroom with their peers, when given the extra time and support their thought process and ideas bloom in their ideas and the successful side of them shows through. I don’t particularly enjoy classroom work; I certainly do enjoy seeing the look of pride and success on a child’s face when they understand something that they previously didn’t. I also enjoy the opportunity to give these children individual one-on-one attention knowing that for some this might be the most one-on-one attention again all day. I do my best to carry this lesson into my clinical practice where I try not to get caught up in the rush of my day, but rather to slow it down and give each patient the individual care and focus that they require so that they’re not only well

Through my clinical experiences, I learned the importance of connecting with patients on a emotional level. One of my patients was recovering from bladder cancer and demonstrated very high levels of anxiety which presented itself through his tendency to constantly page the nurses. It became apparent that he was concerned about his bladder control issues and was fearful about not being able to get help. Instead merely responding to his pages I began actively visiting his room during specific intervals in order to reinforce the idea the help was always nearby. Over a short period of time the constant paging seize as he became more confident that there was always someone checking up on him. I have worked with many patients who taught me the importance

Before heading to the Behavior Crisis Center, I was anxious about not knowing what to expect. I was unsure how the patients were going to act and what we were going to do for the day. After arriving and talking about what to anticipate and how to interact with the patients, I was put at ease.

Hyperparathyroidism occurs when there is an excess of parathyroid hormone being produced by one or more of the body’s four parathyroid glands located on the posterior region of the thyroid gland. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) helps maintain an appropriate amount of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D in the bloodstream. These vitamins and electrolytes are crucial for maintaining the body’s homeostatic state. Hyperparathyroidism can be subdivided into 3 types: Primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary hyperparathyroidism is the most common of these three variants. It is defined as unregulated overproduction of PTH resulting in abnormal calcium homeostasis. Primary hyperthyroidism affects 1 in 500 women and 1 in

The patient is the center of the health care system. Without the patient the system would not exist at all. The Picker Institute came up with the “The term ’patient-centered care’ to call attention to the need for clinicians, staff, and health care systems to shift their focus away from diseases and back to the patient and family” (Barry, et al, 2015,p.780). Patient stays are becoming shorter because of technological advances and health insurance policies. While adjusting to these shifts in healthcare delivery and maintaining a focus on patient centered care there should be an emphasis on patient and family teaching by the health care team.

Throughout the generations of human history, the medical field has learnt to leave behind certain ill practices and to take up the cause of other worthy medical applications. All in the attempt to better the care of patients, and processes that healthcare practitioners follow. One such practice is that of clinical empathy. Empathy in itself can be found in all areas of life and to the layperson it most often means ‘the ability to walk in someone’s else’s shoes’. To medical scholars it is something with a much deeper meaning. And in recent years it has been a topic that has been pulled apart and dissected by intellectuals, with the goal to discover its true meaning and the varied implications it may have within the health workforce.

Health Literacy and Health Literacy Tools in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes: A Mixed Method Study

For my postgraduate application paper, I have chosen three concepts that apply to my plans for after graduation in four years. The first two concepts are from chapter one which is the discipline of psychology. Functionalism and behaviorism come from chapter one, within the first couple pages of the chapter. The last concept comes from chapter thirteen which is social psychology. Cognitive dissonance is the concept I chose from chapter thirteen. All three concepts I have chosen relate to the field I plan to go into after graduation. Before coming to Ashland, I was struggling with picking between psychology and social work as my major and I settled on psychology in a last minute decision. After realizing that psychology is not quite the field
