Medication Administration and the Importance of Reducing Errors in the Nursing Practice Macey Schreiber Baker University School of Nursing Medication Administration and the Importance of Reducing Errors in the Nursing Practice Florence Nightingale stated in her book Notes on Hospitals, published in 1859, “the very first requirement in a hospital is that it should do the sick no harm” (Chilton, 2008). Nightingale’s 150-year old expectation continues to hold firm in healthcare…

Designer babies are genetically modified embryos, usually to resolve any inherited genetic disorders as well as to amplify desired qualities. With that being said, designer babies are being created due to the fact this can save many lives. This then can extend the life of the offspring, which can pass down the better genes to generation to generation. Designer babies are being created with many techniques and is in the progress of finding the better, more efficient technique of them all. However…

Sallie Mae Fisher Case Study Many elderly patients do not have the proper support for their personal needs and medical diagnosis. If an elderly patient is provided with a thorough education on their diagnosis it can lead to positive health outcomes. In like matter with the proper support of nurses provided at home for the patient, medical errors can also be prevented. The purpose of this paper is to discuss Sallie Mae Fishers home visit with four problems identified based on substantiate…

One of the medical conditions of the foot that affect an individual 's function is Morton 's neuroma (MN). MN initially identified by Queen Victoria 's surgeon ( Lewis Dulacher) in the year 1845. Dulacher (1845) recognized that MN is the formation of inflammation of the nerve affecting the distal plantar nerves (Dulacher,1945). Thomas Morton first described the clinical manifestation of MN in 1874 (Shishir & Wang, 2009). The signs and symptoms of MN are the pain in the proximal region of the…

perfection began to grow in 1978, when the first successful application of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in humans occurred. This occurrence led to the term ‘designer babies’. According to Oxford English Dictionary, designer babies refers to children whose genetics have been artificially selected or manipulated at the embryonic stage to exclude or produce certain traits…

collected and established by the NANDA. According to NANDA, this organization was established in 1982 through the process of research to standardize the nomenclature; taxonomy and diagnosis to provide quality care for the patient and their environment. These standards that create the care plan are: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation of care. First, we…

This paper goes in depth about the topic of confusion. It first starts off by defining what chronic confusion is. It also explains the differences between acute and chronic confusion.

negative side of the prenatal testing, there are many positives for potential mothers. The argument then swings to who decides if a pregnant person should do the testing. Who decides what a pregnant person does with the results of the test? Should genetic counselors be more direct in their recommendations after positive tests, despite the limitation of doing so because of their professional value which prevents them from not being direct? In the end, who truly decides the fate of the…

Planning/Outcomes The two nursing diagnosis I will continue to focus on are ineffective airway clearance and ineffective family coping. Ineffective airway clearance is the first step in managing Bud's respiratory problems. Focusing on airway, we can enable Bud to breath with more ease and address his nagging cough. Ineffective family coping will address one of the other main functions of hospice. Hospices goal is not only to alleviate any pain and suffering for the patient, but also provide…

understanding the causes of genetic diseases ushered in the need to diagnose and treat these diseases in order to benefit the population affected. In order to identify these genetic predispositions, genetic tests have to be done through laboratory methods. There are currently seven methods of genetic testing: diagnostic testing, predictive and pre-symptomatic genetic tests, carrier testing, prenatal testing, newborn screening, pharmacogenomic testing, and research genetic testing. Diagnostic…
