They found that these patients needed to continuous monitoring, and they emphasized the need to continuously teach and inform patients about their health situations, infection prevention, medication therapies, drug interactions, proper nutrition (diet), exercises, and scheduled routine physician follow up.

RE: Through the Lens (Blondie and Traveler) The first off of the helicopter was the reporter, Tiara Simmons. No one had to second guess that she was the reporter because even in another country she was in a fitted white blouse, navy pencil skirt, and a matching jacket with her makeup perfectly done. She clearly wasn’t worried about the rest of the crew either because she had her bag, which packed to the brim, and was headed for a vehicle before the actual crew appeared. An independant journalist and the crew of two sent from National Geographic climbed out following Tiara and then came the rest of the reporting crew, Octavia Wellman and Tristan Alderman. Tristan climbed out fist carrying the boom mic along with the sound recording system that went with it.

University of California, Santa Barbara upon first glance exclusively represents the term university, meaning that UCSB is widely and solely represented as a place of education. This can be noted, as well as supported, in the universities’ statement of their mission, which focuses on the fact that “Teaching and research go hand-in-hand at UC Santa Barbara” and the students are on “educational journey.” However, once UCSB is holistically analyzed it is shown to reflect more than a University, but rather an organization that follows not only the bureaucratic but also organizational definition. UCSB’s connection to a bureaucratic organization, however, is further supported through its connection to formalization, the division of labor, and hierarchy. In conclusion, UCSB has duality in its existence as not only a university but also an organization.

One of the themes of “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” is the price of selfishness. In her story Le Guin displays that if one’s happiness depends upon hurting another, one will never be at peace with themselves or truly happy. The narrator works hard to portray Omelas as a joyous community by describing the Festival of Summer with music, dancing, singing, smiles, excitement, and peace. The narrator explains that the price of this is joy built upon suffering through an innocent scapegoat. This scape goat is an innocent, negated, and abused child known by everyone as the sacrifice for their wrong doings so that they may continue to enjoy their joyous lives.

An experience I had involving ethics in relation to an interprofessional collaboration was in my present nursing case. Prior to me starting my patient a 13-year-old girl had a severe asthma attack and went into cardiac arrest, died and was brought back to life this past February. Although the EMTs were able to bring her back, she has been in a coma ever since. What makes this case an ethical dilemma is that several months ago the doctors wanted to diagnose her as brain dead and remove her from life support. Through the use of medical terminology, lack of understanding about her daughter’s condition and unempathetic doctors they managed to convince the mother that her child had no hope of survival.

The Mechanical Model is the idea that the body is a machine or factory and looks at illness as a mechanical breakdown. This also relies on reductionist treatment, which is thinking about each body part as a whole more like the auto mechanics do. This similarly to emotional detachment teaches students to look at patients as if they are not people, which can cause a plethora of issues. This can cause doctors to not think holistically about the health of the patients, so on top of that, the doctors more likely than not, may not understanding the racial, gender based or socioeconomic difference that affect the life of the patient and therefore not know to explore those other areas of their health or wellbeing to improve health outcomes (Weitz, 1996). For example, if a patient has type two diabetes, just treating it with insulin and not considering the other

Congestive Heart Failure Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, occurs when the heart no longer pumps blood as it should. With heart failure, the blood moves through the heart and the body at a slower rate. When this happens, the heart's pressure increases, and the heart could no longer pump oxygen and nutrients that the body needs. To avoid further damage, heart failure must be treated immediately. In line with this assertion, this paper will discuss the objective data, current treatments, diagnosis, social history, medical history, diagnostic studies, care plan, and client teaching of congestive heart failure.
