Nurses are often portrayed in films and television. From Nurse Ratched in One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, to Julia Baker in Julia, and Gaylord “Greg” Focker in Meet the Parents, nurses have been portrayed showing various traits. Some are positive, while others are less than caring. For each, the five elements of emotional intelligence, 1) self-awareness, 2) self-regulation, 3) motivation, 4) empathy, and 5) social skills, are expressed at different levels. Select a nurse archetype portrayed in films or on television and consider the following.

1- What features of emotional intelligence does your selected nurse portray? What features are they lacking? Provide an example to support your rationale.

2- If you were the nurse’s leader, how would use your change agent characteristics to support that individual’s growth? Provide specific examples using scenarios from the setting from which the nurse is portrayed.

3- How does complexity theory or chaos theory influence the organization in which the nurse is portrayed? Provide specific examples to support your rationale.

 

The American Nurses Association (ANA) is responsible for the contract between society and the nursing profession, including the nursing scope and standards of practice. In 2015, and the American Nurses Association is a workgroup that produced Nursing Scope and Standards of Practice and this association, This Practice, describing nursing care that is in agreement with the preferred values, beliefs, worldview, and practices of the healthcare consumer, honesty, respect, empathy, and sympathy are all traits nurses need to have in order to expand their scope of practices. Furthermore, the (ANA) is an authoritative association that provides information, rules, regulation, a guideline for nurses of the duties that all registered nurses, regardless of role, population, or specialty, are expected to competently perform. ANA is responsible for articulating the social contract between the profession, community, and society(Marion, L., Douglas, M. Marty), Yes I totally agree with this statement lack of knowledge and excellent education can indeed put the patients life’s at risk but not knowing the right way to give treatments, provide cares that can elimination sentient events that can put the patient life at risk for instant medications errors, not knowing side effects of  medications, disease, microorganism spread. The failure to educate clients is not the nurses’ fault if it’s not in their scope of practices, patients have the right to educate themselves about certain illnesses, or diseases as well. When a nurse fails to address the patients concern about their medications, side effect, and poor patient teaching it’s the nurse fault because it’s in their scope of practices (Marion, L., Douglas, M. Marty)

Yes the nurse level of educations matter because nursing is a growing field so as a nurse it’s extremely important to keep educating ourself about certain mediations, illness, and other important (ADLs) to be confident and knowledgeable when the patient is confused (Marion, L., Douglas, M. Marty)

The foundation of pediatric healthcare visits, both sick and well, starts with a thorough health history; from the data collected, an accurate physical examination and diagnosis can be made. Primary care healthcare visits are an integral part of ensuring the health and well-being of the child. In children that participate in sports, a preparticipation physical examination (PPE) is required and may be the only contact the healthy child has with their healthcare provider.

Case:

Shelby is a 5-year-old female, brought to the clinic by her parents and will be starting kindergarten in the fall. The parents state that she needs her physical and shot record to register her for school. The parents state that she has been healthy and voice no concerns although Shelby is “scared” about the exam and vaccines.

Answer:

How would you address Shelby’s fear of the exam and vaccines?

Comment 1

The role of health care reform in shifting the focus from a disease-orientated health care system toward one of wellness and prevention is to avert disease in the public. One of the ideal choices is to promote and encourage good health within groups of people across ages, gender, ethnicity, race, and social economic status. Health care reform, in this context, can strive to help people change the social behavior. Help care reform can enhance people’s ability to care for their health. They can lessen health disparities within the population. In the meantime, help care reform targets non-help care policy that impact people good health. That is, decisions related to social, economic, housing, nutrition, and environment might have a direct effect on wellness and prevention.

 In terms of prevention, health care reform can converge health care practitioners’ attentions and the public’s focus on screenings, immunizations, counseling, and disease management to avert complications. This will encourage health care professional to always encourage patients and their loved ones to take preventive measures and steps to avert unhealthy circumstances in their lives.

                       The profession of nursing has the obligation to educate nursing students and current nursing practitioners to understand the benefits of wellness and prevention in the practice of nursing. Nurse spend most of their working times with patients than any other health care professional. They are the first who witness patients’ calamities. This makes them more apt to embrace this shift because integrating prevention in their practices can avert acute and chronic diseases, and other non-desirable health conditions. Nurse can participate in consumer education or awareness campaigns for the good of society.

n 2010, the Affordable Care Act became law, and the law aims to improve the health care system of the U.S. by widening the health coverage to more Americans and by protecting existing health insurance policyholders (Nordqvist, 2016). Cherry & Jacob (2016) state that the ACA is expected to provide insurance coverage for 32 million previously uninsured Americans. America faces the increased medical expenditures which can be the burden of the American economy.  Moreover, the shortage of health care providers and facilities, as well as the rise in health awareness also alter the care from the treatment of disease to health promotion and disease prevention. As a result, health care reform plays an important role to lead the way in determining the type of providers needed to care for patients (Cherry & Jacob, 2016).

The shift from disease-oriented healthcare towards wellness and prevention provides a health resource to assist in creating a balance to promote health and cure disease. “Health care is a human right and that all persons are entitled to ready access affordable, high-quality health care service” (ANA, 2008). Restructuring the health care system will reinforce and ensure universal access to health care. The primary focus points are affordability, availability, acceptability, and quality of care. Access to care alone is not enough if the quality of care and safety is not satisfactory. A restructured health care system must provide dependable, high-quality care across the country.

There are six specific aims described to raise the quality of care that includes: Safe health care, Effective health care, Patient-Centered Health Care, Timely Health Care, Efficient Health Care, and Equitable Health Care. These aims of health care are essential to the nursing staff because many outcomes are associated with the care provided by the nursing staff. It is our job as nurses to positively embrace the change in health care reform and implement the changes with the highest standards. The agenda for the shift in health care reform can be considered a new step in health care and requires all associated with health care to participate.

Two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese. Americans get less exercise, spending work and leisure time in from of screens. Diabetes and other chronic diseases are on the rise, a leading driver of escalating medical care costs. More and better medical care will not fix this countries declining health status or slow the rising costs of health care. History and science show that a multifaceted public health effort, including delivery of clinical preventative services, to protect the nations health. America must invest in the policies, programs, community environments and preventative care that are known to protect and restore health. By doing so, this can lower the disease and disability resulting in a decrease in the cost of expensive medical treatment in the future.

Three major reforms re required to make prevention and wellness the cornerstone of national policy.

1. Provide consistent policy leadership that advocates for and funds mutifaceted approaches to prevention and wellness.

2. Strengthen the ability of the public health system to facilitate and provide community-based prevention, health promotion, and early detection of disease.

3. Assure that all Americans have access to recommended clinical preventitive serices.

Nurses are on the frontline for providing valuable education to patients, the public and communities relating to nutrition, exercise and disease prevention. Health promotion should be done everywhere, at every level of our health care system. Nurses are innovative and know how to expand car and improve quality at a lower cost. Emphasizing the use of master-prepared nurses to oversee care from the hospital to within the home reduces hospitalizations.
