Icp Individual Care Plan

Decent Essays
When I read this question I realized this is this part of the environment I am part of everyday. As an advocate for my DD Clients, it is a common occurrence for me to sit in their Individual Care Plan (ICP) Meetings where parents/guardians must deal and decide on ethical concerns in planning for best care for their adult children or Adult wards. After doing some research and reading the great post of my class mates I decided to follow up my research by talking with some of our Client Team Leaders and our in House Therapists to get a feel on how they felt about this, since many of them sit in in with me and our part of the ICP Teams. Below is a Basic Ethical Concerns List we felt many parents or guardians face when planning for that initial

    This short case study has a significant range of legal and ethical principles which contribute to the outcome of the outcome if Marion will continue or abandon treatment. The team who is treating Marion must refer to the Advance Care Directive and ensure they follow this carefully to ensure Marion’s best wishes. This is because an Advance Care Directive is a legal form for adults over the age of 18, in scenarios in which a person has impaired decision-making capacity, the Advance Care Directive will have instructions, vales and wishes for future health care.

    Promoting and respecting informed decision-making is an essential value and responsibility outlined in The Canadian Nurses Association’s Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses. The CNA Code of Ethics defines promoting and respecting informed decision-making as, “nurses recognize, respect and promote a person ’s right to be informed and make decisions” (2008, p. 11). More specifically, Registered Nurses are ethically responsible for advocating on behalf of a client if they believe their health is in jeopardy due to circumstances outside of their control (CNA, 2008, p. 11). For example, in 1994 at the Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre, nurses voiced concerns repeatedly about the quality of client care experienced by children undergoing cardiac surgery…

    This week, I started to see patients on my own at the Health Department. I saw more infants compare to when I was at the Vine Clinic. I noticed there is a high prevalence of Hispanic patient population in this office, which explained why there were three Spanish interpreters at the site. The preceptor who I am with also can speak some Spanish. I do see the benefit of having a bilingual provider when serving a population like this.…

    I have not had any experiences with the Comprehensive Plan of Care. My understanding is that the Comprehensive Plan of Care is an individualized plan that addresses the child’s needs in an explicit fashion and is based on standardized and culturally appropriate assessments. It is inclusive by involving the child, the child's parent(s), caregiver, extended family and aboriginal community, if the child is aboriginal, to the fullest extent possible in assessment and decision making for the child. I think the benefit of this type of case planning tool is that it can be critically reviewed and revised in assuring that the plan is relevant and meaningful and has the support for the child. This approach gives empowerment to children and their families;…

    Ultimately the case may go to the hospital ethical committee. In other words, being a nurse the author has no right to push the author’s belief or ideas to the patient or their parents. Whoever holds the power of attorney has to full right, in case if the author feels that, the kid’s health is in danger then immediately needs to report it to the chain of command. Then the chain of command will report it to the hospital ethical committee. Ultimately the hospital ethical committee will take the final decision about the case.…

    A potential ethical dilemma that I could face in my chosen advanced nurse practice role as a family nurse practitioner is a large family that disagrees amongst themselves over whether to continue their mothers care. The situation is this: A mother of five children, divorced for over fifteen years, enters the hospital after suffering a massive stroke, was found unresponsive yet breathing in her yard by a neighbor. EMS was called and she was brought into the hospital and placed on advanced life support. The primary ICU physician and neurosurgeon are in agreement that the patient will not regain a significant amount of brain function. It has been a catastrophic injury without hope of recovery.…

    It is a nurse practitioners responsibility to practice using proper judgment based on training and knowledge. Services that are not appropriate or recommended should be avoided. Nurse practitioners should be cognizant of the services that will be reimbursed in their state, those that require supervision, and awareness of patients that would be more financially beneficial to be cared for by a physician. Nurse practitioners continuing to provide high-quality care will be of utmost importance in aiding the reform of the current laws that deter autonomy and full reimbursement of nurse practitioners. Nurse practitioners need to be aware of the changes that their peers are attempting to make and support them in their efforts.…

    The nursing code of ethics have been established by nurses to provide guidance for ethical relationships, responsibilities, behaviours and decision-making (Canadian Nurses Association, 2008). Within the code, there are seven primary values that outline the responsibilities central to nursing practice (Canadian Nurses Association, 2008). In regards to the described case, four values have been compromised: promoting health and well-being, promoting and respecting informed decision-making, preserving dignity, and promoting justice. Promoting health and well-being. This Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) value refers to advocating for your patient to ensure that their health is the priority concern (Canadian Nurses Association, 2008).…

    At some point in your career you have or will encounter a pediatric/adolescent patient with a progressive, slow deteriorating disease with no treatment options, or a severe central nervous systems disability, that predisposes them to an unpredictable death. Regardless of the reason, death for pediatric/adolescent patients should be uncomplicated and pleasant. The problems often seen are the inability of health care facilities and health care provider’s to understand and comply with the wishes of these dying patients. Denying those wishes tend to complicates the death experience and imprints a negative experience on the family. According to Donnelly, “there is evidence that dying in a hospital is not always a good experience” (Donnelly & Dickson, 2013, p.732).…

    Families should carefully choose a proper assisted facility that is well-equipped and has the best resources to care for their residents. Because it is unethical to place aging parents in a facility knowing the facility and services are of poor quality and the staff are poorly trained. This can put loved ones in an unsafe environment; therefore, the proper research and visitations should be performed prior to making…

    Ethical principles are not laws, but guiding principles about what is good and what is bad, that should direct doctors and other health care professionals in their work and decision making. Issues arising over end-of-life care involving decisions that affect the nature and timing of an individual's death raise difficult ethical conflicts for all concerned and can be a source of discord between health professionals within a team, health professionals and family members, or between different family members. Ethical dilemmas arise when there is a perceived conflicting duty to the patient, such as a conflict between a duty to preserve life and a duty to act in a patient's best interests, or when an ethical principle such as respect for autonomy conflicts with a duty not to…

    The interests of the nurse in this case should involve both the child and the family. The nurse can not only bank on the child’s decision lest he or she lands in trouble with the law. The parents should be informed if they are not present. If the nurse had ignored the oncology patient wishes, Health, Portability and accountability act would have been violated. Nurses should be keenly decisive in this modern world as lots of agencies govern healthcare today.…

    The Decision Maker Would you be able to “pull the plug” on a loved one? No one should be alone when making such a massive decision like this as well as when experiencing a death. When we think of children, we do not usually think about death. The article “When Living Is a Fate Worse than Death” by Christine Mitchell argues that doctor’s should have the control over deciding life or death for a patient. The author’s argument is ineffective because the text lacks in facts, is one-sided, and gives a negative tone.…
