Discuss, on the basis of Mrs. Brown’s comment and the fact she is Appalachian, what view of human nature is she likely to have?

/in /by

Martha Brown is a 27 year-old-woman who lives in the hills of northern Kentucky in a small log cabin that has no indoor plumbing. She lives with her husband and 6 small children. The public health nurse makes a home visit after three of the children have been diagnosed by the school nurse as having lice. While the nurse is explaining the use of Rid (lice treatment) to the mother she notes, that Mrs. Brown has a persistent cough that she has had for two years. The nurse notes the cough is productive, that Mrs. Brown looks emaciated, and her color is extremely ashen. She tires easily. Although health insurance is a benefit of her husband’s job in a nearby mine, Mrs. Brown’s children were born at home, and she has never had a complete physical. When asked the reason she has not gone to a nearby free clinic Mrs. Brown replies “Sickness is God’s will, and he will cure me if he wants to. Anyway my family comes first and I don’t have the time. Besides, doctors can’t be trusted. My Aunt Jane went once, and she died the next week.”

The next 5 questions related to the case study.

Based on the fact that Mrs. Brown is Appalachian and taking into consideration the fact that every individual is unique, discuss whether Mrs. Brown is more likely to “being” orientated or “doing” orientated in regard to activity orientation.
Discuss what the relational orientation is for Mrs. Brown based on her reply to the public health nurse about the reason she has not sought treatment.
Based on Mrs. Brown’s reply to the public health and the fact she is Appalachian, what people-to-nature orientation is she likely to have?
Discuss, on the basis of Mrs. Brown’s comment and the fact she is Appalachian, what view of human nature is she likely to have?
Articulate at least three reasons why Mrs. Brown may be apprehensive about seeking medical help.

/in /by

Instructions
In this project, you will develop a detailed comparative analysis of cloud vendors and their services. A comparative analysis provides an item-by-item comparison of two or more alternatives, processes, products, or systems. In this case, you will compare the pros/cons of the cloud service providers in terms of security, ease of use, service models, services/tools they provide, pricing, technical support, cloud service providers’ infrastructure, and architecture model.

You will present your findings to the owner of the company in a narrated PowerPoint presentation with 10 to 20 slides. Use the Cloud Presentation Template.

This resource can help you prepare and record your presentation: Presentation Resources.

Presentation Guidelines

Your presentation should be comprised of the following:

One to two slides on the company profile.
One to two slides on what the company is struggling with.
One to two slides on current infrastructure.
Three to six slides on the top three cloud services providers. Include their service models (i.e., SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), services/tools/solutions (i.e., compute, storage, database, developer tools, analytics tools, networking and content delivery, customer engagement), pricing, accessibility, technical support for companies, global infrastructure.
One to two slides on a recommended cloud service provider based on the comparative analysis and the cloud vendor’s abilities to meet the service needs of the company.
One slide on the conclusion.

Discuss at least two things in relation to the perception of time and culture that may be contributing factors in Susie Jones tardiness for appointments.

/in /by

Ms Susie Jones, a 37 year-old-black American client who has been coming to the hospital’s out-patient clinic because she has brittle diabetes. Ms. Jones’s diabetes was diagnosed 6 months previously; however, the diabetes remains uncontrolled by insulin. The client was placed on a regimen of 40 units of lente insulin with 5 units of regular insulin at 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM. When Ms. Jones comes to the clinic today, she has an episode of “blacking out,” or an insulin reaction because she forgot to eat after taking her morning insulin. This morning, as frequently in the past, Ms. Jones is at least one hour late for her scheduled appointment. The following 5 questions relate to variable time and its significance in relation to Susie Jones.

Discuss at least two things in relation to the perception of time and culture that may be contributing factors in Susie Jones tardiness for appointments.
Articulate at least two things the nurse could suggest to Susie Jones that would assist her in being on time for future clinic appointments.
Describe two factors about time that contributes to Susie Jones’s nonadherence to the medical regimen.
Identify ways the nurse could assist Susie Jones in developing an understanding about time and its relationship to important mediations such as insulin.
Discuss a contributing factor to insulin reaction that was described to the nurse by Susie Jones.

Regulatory Environment

Explain how healthcare exchanges change the concept of outpatient treatment.  Many clinical information systems now embed practice guidelines and clinical pathways into their electronic medical record systems.  Discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of this.  Describe demand management and how it can increase consumer involvement in care.  Compare and contrast disease management and case management.

Reading and Resources

Create an intervention plan to address his or her concerns.

Community Intervention

Based on your group’s discussions, you have arranged for a community meeting to discuss the violence in the community. The following people come to the first meeting:

  • A teacher from the high school whose concern is that her students aren’t performing as well in school as they had been. When she has addressed this with them, they verbalize that increased violence makes it more difficult for them to get their work done.
    • A minister who is very involved with his community. Several of his congregants have lost family members and/or friends to recent violence.
  • A social worker from a community-based organization 10 miles away. He provides clinical outpatient services and has recently heard an increased concern about violence from his clients.
    • A teen who works in the local afterschool program who has become aware of the children attending the program feeling frightened to leave the program at the end of the day.
  • An ER doctor from the local hospital who has treated an increased number of patients who are victims of violence crimes.
    • The manager from a large department store who has seen an increase in thefts in his store.
  • A police officer who is very concerned about the increased violence in the community that he is witnessing firsthand.
    • A senior who resides in the assisted living community who is concerned for his safety.

Choose one of the meeting attendees and create an intervention plan to address his or her concerns. This plan can be very specific to address the potential solution that will help this meeting attendee and the community as well. (Referring to your macro practice book for this assignment will be helpful.)

  1. Set a goal for the intervention.
    2. Write objectives for the intervention.
    3. Establish a time frame for the intervention
  2. Specify a result or outcome.

 

 

 

Describe the roles and functions of the nurse case manager in (1) acute care, (2) home care, and (3) primary care settings.

Describe the roles and functions of the nurse case manager in (1) acute care, (2) home care, and (3) primary care settings.

Often the case manager is a social worker rather than a nurse.  What skills would a nurse need to have to better prepare to do a community health plan for a patient? Why are these skills important?

What are some of the approaches case managers use to promote the highest quality of care with careful use of resources?  Think globally…how can palliative care and hospice services assist this strategy.
