The care planning meeting revolved around an 11 year old named, Katy, who was/is subject to care order. The rules around contact with Katy had been made very explicit to Katy’s mother and her Aunt, at the time of the care order being made. However upon receiving the case I learned that Katy had been having unsupervised contact with both her mother and her Aunt, as a result of a lack of adherence to the care order by Katy’s foster carers. As a result Katy had been moved from her previous foster carers to new residential home. Unfortunately Katy’s move from her foster carers to her new residential home was not perfect and may have been a cause for anxiety for Katy due to the uncertainty of her…
Hegel’s idea that the modern world of civil society is created through selfish ends and a system of complete interdependence is an idea that is shared with many other writers. Specifically, the 18th century writers of Steuart and Smith share Hagel’s point of view. Both Steuart and Smith believe self-interest is essential in explaining the creation of the modern world. They agree that when individuals peruse their selfish interests and in turn, become dependent in one another, and consequently create the modern economy. However, they differ in the nature of how these two principles interplay in economic activity (production and exchange).…

The group I was placed in helped me better understand what health care is and how it impacts various lives today. For example, when dealing with Gerald’s case, I initially chose Plan B, because I was under the impression that plan a revolved around the idea of employment. Kenzie Mclean was a vital part of our group at this point because she pointed out plan B did not involve the coverage of test strips. Kenzie explained that she had a first-hand account of understanding how important test strips are as well as how costly they become Kenzie stated they were “about a dollar each.” For Gerald’s case that would have easily added up being as though he would need to take his blood sugar levels frequently.…
Care Transitions - Part B The transition that Mr. C experienced was complex and multifaceted in its causes and implications. In order to better appreciate Mr. C’s transition, we can examine the relationships between Mr. C, his providers, and the healthcare system as a whole. Complexity science breaks down complex systems into individual parts in order to understand how they function as a whole. Concepts of self-organization, sensemaking, and emergence were evident throughout Mr. C’s transition and provided valuable insight into the most effective approach to his care.…
The care partners’ experiences with collaboration with home care services span a continuum. However, their descriptions of collaboration routines indicate that few or no systematic procedures exist. They receive little information, are rarely included in decision-making processes and seem to lack basic knowledge about legal rights. The care partners expressed the need for information, time for own activities and to remain in their original role, that is, not being forced into a care role. The care partners carry a great responsibility but make no demands until absolutely necessary.…
Explain clearly the different theories which underpin health and social care practice ( U23.1) Empowerment for individuals and the care vale base According to (Pearson, 2016) empowerment allows individuals to make their own decisions and informed choices about their life and care. This therefore can promote independence as it allows service users to take control. For example, allowing service users to choose what they would like to eat for lunch. Empowerment is one many principles which lies at the heart of the care value base. (Base, 2016) states that the care vale base is a set of guidelines that every health and social professional should follow, to ensure all service users and patient receive the best care according to their specific…
Transformational leadership requires close relationship between leaders and their team members, and the leaders should not show their power to colleagues to keep an appropriate distance. The leaders should consider the needs and capabilities of the members individually. Mutual trust and efficient communication is necessary for the leadership (Salanova et al. 2011, p. 2257). A change in a clinical setting should be managed by both leaders’ and member’s opinion. To achieve this, leaders are required four qualities which are “idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration” (Lavoie et al. 2016, p. 583).…
In this section of my assignment, I am going to assess the influence of a recent national policy initiative in relation to the promotion of anti-discriminatory practice. However, the national policy initiative I will be assessing is the Data Protection Act 1998 in relation to nursing care home as a code of practice. Basically, in care settings when promoting anti-discriminatory practice there are certain influences such as advantages and disadvantages that can come alongside it. However, staff and care providers need to be aware of these things in order to accomplish their aim or goals for the service user.…
Often times you hear talk about healthcare; the good parts, the bad parts, and who is providing it. The definition of healthcare, and the ideology of who should be in charge of it vary. The different healthcare systems roughly fall into two camps. One camp is comprised of those who advocate a central role for the federal government. The other camp is comprised of those who advocate a market based approach.…
Autonomy and Ethical Principles of Care Gunnar Kupfer Grand Canyon University HLT-305 October 16th 2016 Ethics in health care could be life or death. Patients have a lot of rights when it comes to health care, yet patients don’t even know what they are. Basic consent forms truly don’t adequately inform patients of their rights. Consent forms are written in high levels and use words most wont understand. The average person simply cannot read a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy consent form.…
According to the World Health Organization, the number of people aged 60 years or older will rise from 900 million to 2 billion between 2015 and 2050. This means that the number of elderly people in the world’s population will move from 12% to 22%. As we age, we gain the privilege of many years of experience and the wisdom that follows it at the cost of time and youth. Often this creates a rise in income and the potential to retire, although aging also comes with several drawbacks. Among these drawbacks include the loss of physical strength, coordination, fluid memory and community status at retirement.…
Currently, over half a million people are homeless in the United States right now. Most of us don 't understand the grind that homeless people go through every day for their daily needs. We tend to take for granted a bed, a soft blanket, a warm, toasty house during the winter. Consequently, this is something homeless people don 't have, but a great program in Fremont, Nebraska has provided these valuable, useful services for homeless people. Care-Corps provides: housing, life skills program, food, hygiene products, medicine, prevention program, counseling, and in addition, provides a profitable plan for a client to get a healthy, happy lifestyle.…
This ensures that people do not have the freedom to do whatever they please and aspects in life would retain meaning and not lose affection behind actions and/or words. There is not a set of rules that everyone in society has to follow saying something is inherently wrong because this views allow people to be actual human beings who have feeling and who make mistakes. There are no punishments because the ethics of care looks at people who show egotistical feelings as morally concerned people. To avoid bias, “the ethics of care rejects the view of the dominant moral theories that the more abstract the reasoning about a moral problem the better.” They reject the theories because the ethics of care recognizes and praises the interpersonal relationships people have with each other. The ethics of care also embodies that the “household is a private sphere beyond politics into which government, based on consent, should not intervene,” and in public life the ethics of care recognizes and “addresses moral issues arising in relations among the unequal and dependent.”…
