What is your opinion on the importance of family involvement in the transition and vocation planning process for students with disabilities? My opinion on the importance of family involvement in the transition and vocation planning process for students with disabilities is that it is of utmost importance. Parents are the most important contributing factor to the planning process, because they are the ones who will be involved in their child’s life forever. While planning, parents need to have a say in future plans and encourage their child to pursue continued education, training, or employment that will not only make the child feel fulfilled, but also make the parents feel proud of their child.…

She was up to date on evidenced based practice care and very informative about the all the rational for the care she was providing.…
When a young child is going through a transition like bereavement of a primary care giver it is important that the child is prepared for what is going to happen, and also that people like a key worker is put in place for the chid. The theorist that links into this is Bowlby and his theory on attachment 1907-1990. He stated that children will have more than one person that they get attached to. This could be a keyworker or someone in the setting. If the child is having support from key worker or a practitioner it’s important that they have a strong bond with one another.…

Safe Sleep At Home Support of Teaching Topics Healthy People 2020 identify the objective as reducing the rate of all infants’ deaths within one year. Currently the United States is at 6.7 infant deaths per 1,000 live births and the target for 2020 is to decrease the number to 6.0 infants (Healthy People 2020, 2016).

SIDS is associated with three key factors that Wedgewood describes as the “three hit model” include intrinsic infant vulnerability (birth weight, premature birth, prenatal smoke exposure), death during sleep, and being introduced to an external stressor, like temperature changes (Ball & Russell, 2014).…
The Transitions Theory, a middle range theory, will be used as a guide throughout the DNP project. The Transitions Theory, as cited in McEwen and Wills (2014), began with the recognition of the “experiences that humans face as they deal with changes relating to health, well-being, and their ability to care for themselves.” McEwen and Wills (2014) continued to emphasize the interaction between the nurse and patients in this process and the role of the nurse in developing health promotion and therapeutic interventions to assist in the experiences. Just as in young adults transitioning from pediatric to adult primary care, the providers will assist in the transitional process to initiate and guide the process. The theory recognizes three main…
