    Language, an essential foundation for human communication, is believed contain enough power to shape the cognitive make-up of humans.

    Ellen, The American Lung Association (2017) recommends the use of a “My COPD Action Plan” to be completed with patients with COPD and their healthcare providers as a self-management intervention. According to Nici, Bontly, ZuWallack, and Gross (2013) believe that an action plan for exacerbation and enhanced communication between the patient and health care providers makes clinical sense as a method to encourage self-management in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, after five major trials of self-management in COPD, results are shown to be inconsistent. Two trials show reduction in health care utilization and one was discontinued due to increased mortality. It may be a possibility that individuals with COPD may need earlier…

    As a sales representative of ABC Pharmaceuticals Corporation, I was contacted three months ago by CBS pharmacy store which would like to order some nutrition supplements. In the negotiation, CBS specifically required that the shelf life shall be longer than one year. Our manufacturing department and logistic department guaranteed me that the customer’s requirement can be fulfilled. Therefore, I accepted CBS’s order, the contract was signed, and products were shipped last month. However, the procurement manager of ABC contacted me and claimed that the shelf life of received products was only half a year, requiring a return or a compensation.…

    First, the sample size of population in her study was very small, numbering only 26 patients, therefore conclusions cannot be extrapolated to large populations. Additionally, patients in the study were derived solely from North Shore Long Island Jewish Pulmonary Clinics thus creating the possibility of a geographic bias. Furthermore, the patients’ COPD severity was neither specific nor diverse enough, to be meaningful. For instance, by 26 choosing patients with spirometry scores of under 50%, it is unclear if patients tested had equivalent levels of severity. Were patients scores clumped at 49%, or equally spread out down to scores of, for example, 30%? Also, by choosing patients with only “severe” COPD, the sample might be biased due to preexisting high levels of anxiety or previous inclinations of self-denial, which could skew the results.…

    There are many different approaches in developing a relationship with patients, one of which being holistic, patient-centered care. Holistic care is described as “all nursing practice that has healing the whole person as its goal” (American Holistic Nurses’ Association, 1998, Description of Holistic Nursing). A holistic approach allows the nurse to view the patient as a whole, as opposed to focusing in on one small aspect. By viewing the entire person, we are able to provide spiritual, medical, and any other type of care that may be necessary in aiding the recovery of our patients. “Holism involves studying and understanding the interrelationships of the bio-psycho-social-spiritual dimensions of the person, recognizing that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts,” (Dossey, 2010, p.14), which further emphasizes that by using a holistic nursing approach, we are able to take not only a patient’s physical well-being into consideration, but also the emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being of our…

    Considering some of the personal goals that I have discussed on my midterm exam, I believe I have made some progress in the "thinking habits" I identified that I "would like to improve. For instance, I have improved my confidence and creativity a great deal. Unlike before, I was withhold voicing my opinion on a subject because of self-doubt or lack of self-assurance. However, I have used confidence to facilitate the diagnostic reasoning process to demonstrate integrity, advocate and promote patient’s safety. For instance, I had a patient who recently stated that she does not want to be resuscitated if something ever happens.…

    I am coming to understand more and more the difference in care that is required for a client who focus of care is palliative compared to someone who health focus is maintenance of illness or cure of illness or injury. In my practice experience at KBRH I have had the opportunity to care for both palliative and non-palliative clients and not only recognize the shift in care, but the understanding around the different types of care. Particularly in the shift to palliative. For example where pain medications are given in greater dose and longer term without concern for addiction or tolerance, or where family may need more care and teaching than the clients, particularly at the end.…
