The LPN said out loud that the residents #272, 342, 383 and 478 needed a staff member to sit with them because they had feeders. Therefore, the interview with the LPN on 1/14/15 at 1:21 disclosed each of the residents was fed last because they were feeds. However, there was an interview on 1/21/15 at 10:30 am with a registered nurse (RN) Resident Care Coordinator (RCC), which disclosed that staff should not describe residents as feeders.

    The role and responsibilities of an RN especially with regards to medication administration, hold great significance as they coincide with legislations and codes. According to the discussed documents, Jo’s lack of competence was evident as demonstrated through her medication error, she had an inability to keep to her scope of practice and also to the medication management system created in the residential aged facility. Jo did not practice ethical nursing as the ethical issues that arose in this scenario were not dealt with correctly; she did not ask for help when she needed it, nor did she show respect to her colleague’s (the prescribers) role when she took on the role of the prescriber herself. Neither did she demonstrate the important values…

    After one week break, week eight, we had to return to the clinical placement, Shalom Manor. Before the break I was on the fourth floor for seven weeks, it took me a couple of weeks to get used to the residents what their likes and dislikes; especially with their seating arrangement in the dining room. Every resident has specific sites that they sit every time they enter the dining room. The reason they sit in the same seat, I believe there would not be confusion with their meal. For example, some table has regular texture diet and another table has a modification in their diet due to different types of health problems.…

    I can definitely see how the issues in the case study can affect the afternoon staff and the overall function of the unit. These interruptions can make things not go as smoothly as one would like. For one, if the residents are not happy with the food they have to eat they may not eat at all. This could be dangerous to them if they are not eating. This issue could also make the residents uncompliant with other aspects of their care like taking their medications and participating with their scheduled therapies.…

    There is a discrepancy when a room cannot be used in the way it was designed. The Fireside room, for example, is meant for community gathering, but, when it is occupied by interlopers, that purpose is unattainable. Based on extended observation of this space, vagabond Spring Arbor couples are the prime culprits of this defilement with their displays of affection whilst in the area. In particular, there is a couch within the room that attracts said couples and causes the whole room to be unavailable to any platonic company. The intent of this space is utterly disregarded and is exploited as a “public bedroom” instead of a “public lounge.”…

    According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), one of the key recommendations for structural change in the health care profession is “Nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression (The Future of, 2010). In my opinion this should be one of the highest priorities for Registered Nurses (RN). As nursing continuously evolves the practice of nursing continues to change as well. During these times we are faced with more critically ill patients as well as a faster growing population of ill patients. The elderly are living longer than they did 20 years ago and their comorbidities make their care challenging.…
