183 Words1 Page

Reflecting on Red Yoder’s case, were there any actions you would do differently? If so, what were these actions, and why would you do them differently? My care would focus on Red’s total health care that centers on his social and family situation. This takes mind-set changes by all parties involve and that can be difficult to achieve if one party is not willing or fail to fulfill their commitment. Red’s family must be more physically involve in his live. That can be having him over for dinner on a regular basis and having him back in the operation of the farm. I believe and my parents believe that the inactivity of retirement and the feeling of not being productive destroys the mind and body. How would you apply the knowledge and skills

    Grey I would have done things differently than the social worker from the novel. First I would have wanted to see and speak with Mr. Grey before providing any referrals for medical care. I would have done some research into his background and tried to find out more about what problems he was facing. According to Erickson’s psychosocial stages older adults tend to become more satisfied with their lives and feel more successful in life if their goals are accomplished (Cherry, n.d.). However, studies have shown that an older adult’s satisfaction with their quality of life is also closely related to their health and poor health can cause one to feel they have a poor quality of life and result in dissatisfaction (Xavier, Ferraz, Marc, Escosteguy, & Moriguchi, 2003).

  • Analysis Of The Ill-Fated Experience Of Sue Cheridan

    151 Words  | 1 Pages

    After reviewing the tables from chapter 63 and watching Pheridan’s video, I can safely say that patient safety was of highest concern, which needs more reinforcement. The ill-fated experience of Sue Cheridan is an unfortunate example of ineffective communication among health care professional. Lack of advocacy was another area that I believe was extremely neglected as the health care workers failed many times necessary to advocate or run a bilirubin test on Sue’s son, Carl and to order further testing for her husband’s tumor. As a result, Sheridan loss her husband and her child suffered severe brain damage. After her family misfortune, Sheridan became involved in several organization seeking and advocating for patient safety and better health

Due to this, I advocate for my patient’s daily at work by calling insurances and working out the logistics of getting them the care they need, or helping them find resources if we hit a dead-end. Putting their care first, each and every day, has helped me advocate for patients of all populations.

    His role as an oncologist has profoundly influenced the manner in which I plan to practice medicine in the future: with respect, compassion, and empathy for my patients. It was my observation of his interactions with cancer surviving patients that first inspired me to pursue medicine. These interactions inspired me not only to embark on a profession where I could serve others, but also make a difference in the lives of others. I believe I can make the biggest impact in the lives of my future patients by combining my passion for the clinic and science as a physician-scientist. Though I am early in my medical journey, and am willing to keep an open mind, it is only natural that I yearn to pursue a profession related to oncology.

  • The Importance Of Dementia

    1206 Words  | 5 Pages

    Putting a dementia patient into a strict routine where they get up at the same time every morning and complete the same tasks will help the patient. The routine becomes ingrained and it will help to prolong the patient’s capabilities to complete those functions, such as brushing their teeth or feeding themselves. If a patient falls out of that routine for any reason, such as an illness or injury, they usually never gain it back or recover. This is also why it is important to have a patient complete frequent daily functions for themselves (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 2010).
