The Concept of Personhood

The concept of personhood is at the core of the nursing as caring theory. This theory was developed by Jean Watson in the 1970s and has since gained widespread recognition in the nursing profession. Watson’s theory emphasizes the importance of treating each patient as a unique individual with their own experiences, emotions, and needs. It is based on the premise that caring can promote healing and enhance the overall well-being of patients. Central to the nursing as caring theory is the idea that the nurse-patient relationship is a partnership built on mutual respect, trust, and empathy (Eklund et al., 2019). As nurses strive to provide high-quality care to their patients, understanding and embracing the concept of personhood is critical to delivering care that is both compassionate and effective.

The nursing as caring theory is an approach to nursing that places an emphasis on relationships and the inter connectivity of all beings. One key concept in this theory is personhood, which refers to the unique qualities and characteristics that make each individual who they are. Personhood is integral to the nursing as caring theory because it emphasizes the importance of treating each patient as a whole person, rather than just a set of symptoms or conditions. This view acknowledges the complexity of human beings and the many factors that contribute to overall health and wellbeing.

One aspect of personhood that is particularly important in the nursing as caring theory is the idea of connectedness. A central tenet of this theory is that all living things are connected and interdependent, and that human beings are part of a larger ecosystem. Thus, healthcare providers must take into account the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of patients in order to provide the most effective care (Langberg et al., 2019). Consequently, nurses can help patients to understand the impact that their lifestyle choices have on their health, and provide guidance on ways to make positive changes.

The caring theory addresses the concept of personhood through the idea of presence. Presence refers to the ability of the healthcare provider to be fully engaged with the patient both physically and emotionally. This means being fully present in the moment, attentive to the patient’s needs and concerns, and willing to listen and respond to their questions and feedback. This deep level of engagement is essential in building trust and rapport with patients, and can have a positive impact on their overall wellbeing.

The element of spirituality in healthcare cannot be underestimated. This can include religious beliefs and practices, as well as other forms of spiritual expression. By taking a holistic approach to healthcare, nurses can help patients to explore their spirituality and use this as a means of coping with illness and other challenges (Wei et al., 2019). The approach can help patients to find meaning and purpose in their lives, which can be an important factor in overall health and wellbeing. Healthcare providers must take a proactive approach to learning about the needs and preferences of individual patients. This can involve asking open-ended questions, actively listening to feedback, and working collaboratively with patients to develop treatment plans that take into account their unique needs and circumstances.

In conclusion, the nursing as caring theory places a strong emphasis on the concept of personhood, recognizing the unique qualities and characteristics that make each individual who they are. By taking a holistic approach to healthcare and recognizing the interconnectedness of all living things, nurses can provide more effective care and help patients to achieve better health outcomes. To effectively incorporate the concept of personhood into their nursing practice, healthcare providers must take a proactive approach to learning about and understanding the needs and preferences of individual patients, and work collaboratively with them to develop treatment plans that address their unique needs and circumstances.

Prescribing for older adult and pregnant women

Choose one of the two following specific populations: either pregnant women or older adults. Then, select a specific disorder from the DSM-5-TR to use.

Use the Walden Library to research evidence-based treatments for your selected disorder in your selected population (either older adults or pregnant women). You will need to recommend one FDA-approved drug, one non-FDA-approved “off-label” drug, and one non pharmacological intervention for treating the disorder in that population.

Recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one non pharmacological intervention for treating your chosen disorder in older adults or pregnant women. (Depression in pregnancy)

Explain the risk assessment you would use to inform your treatment decision making. What are the risks and benefits of the FDA-approved medicine? What are the risks and benefits of the off-label drug?

Explain whether clinical practice guidelines exist for this disorder, and if so, use them to justify your recommendations. If not, explain what information you would need to take into consideration.

Support your reasoning with at least three current, credible scholarly resources, one each on the FDA-approved drug, the off-label, and a non pharmacological intervention for the disorder.

Cookie Business Final Project

Now that your cookie business is well underway, you are going to use the knowledge that you have gained in this course to evaluate the financial information for the company. You will be creating a series of reports and analyzing the results using the templates provided to guide you through the project.

The learning objectives of this project are as follows:

  1. Apply accounting concepts and standards to the creation of accounting information and reports.
  2. Analyze accounting information used to make strategic business decisions.

Introduction

Part 1: Based on the data presented in the Unit VII Spreadsheet Template in Excel (CM Breakeven tab):

  • Calculate the contribution margin (CM) for each of the three products sold at the cookie business.
  • Calculate the weighted average CM.
  • Calculate the breakeven point.

Complete your calculations by filling in the highlighted cells, and embed a copy of the completed spreadsheet into this report. Discuss the results based on your calculations as far as which type of cookie you think is the most profitable, which has the highest CM, etc.
