Topic: Respiratory Issues Complicated by Economic Disadvantage

A mother brings her 8-year-old child to the clinic, stating the child “just isn’t breathing right, doesn’t want to play, just lies on the couch — this happens all the time.”

The appearance of both mother and child is disheveled. The child’s wheezing can be heard across the room. When asked if the child is better at any certain time of the day, the mother responds, “It’s like this all the time and has been for the past year — we saw a doctor last year who diagnosed asthma but we don’t have any money for drugs or to come back to the clinic.”

CLINICAL CASE: # 3

Carrie Williams has been admitted to the Psychiatric Unit at Bayshores Treatment Facility. She is eight-and-one-half months pregnant and in a manic state. She has not slept for three days, is hyperactive and hypervoluble. When you come on duty, she is running all over the Day Room, jumping from chairs and standing on tables saying to everyone: “I am Cicely Tyson and I will perform for you. My agent wants you to listen to me and come to see my movies. I’m going to Hollywood and if you treat me right I will take you along.”

Along with several other nurses, you decide the patient must be placed in seclusion for her protection and the safety of the fetus. Also, she is disrupting the Unit and upsetting the other patients. Tension in the Day Room is very high as Mrs. Williams climbs over the back of a sofa and almost falls over a table.

After being placed in seclusion, the patient rolls on the floor and bounces herself off the walls with her protruding stomach. The psychiatrist is notified and orders that liquid Haldol (an appropriate dosage for the patient) be injected into the patient’s sealed juice containers and that she be encouraged to drink the juice. As the nurse working with this patient what would you do? 

 Select one of the following actions and write a 200 – 300 word answer to explain your actions.  Refer to your textbook and the syllabus to obtain information on psychiatric patient rights.  This is not an opinion paper, your answer should be backed up with information you have obtained from your textbook ( USE OUTSIDE SOURCE ).

Assignment: Academic Success and Professional Development Plan
Part 1: Developing an Academic and Professional Network

When was the last time you read Meditation XVII of John Donne’s Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions?

Unless you are a student of seventeeth-century poetry, you may not be all that familiar with this piece. However, you may be much more familiar with one of its well-known phrases: “No man is an island…”.

As you begin your journey toward achieving your academic and professional goals, you have a great opportunity to network with academics and professionals who can help ensure you do not travel alone. This network can help to clarify your own vision for success and can help guide you now and in the future. To paraphrase Donne, no one is an island.

Begin creating an academic and professional network by identifying which academic and professional connections and resources with which you need to collaborate to succeed in your MSN program and as a practicing nurse.

To Prepare:

• Consider individuals, departments, teams, and/or resources within Walden University and within your profession that you believe can support your academic and professional success.
• Identify at least two academic and at least two professional individuals, colleagues, or teams that might help you succeed in your MSN program and as a practicing nurse.
• Download the Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Template.

The Assignment:

Academic and Professional Network

Complete Part 1 of your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Template. Be sure to address the following:

• Identify at least two academic and at least two professional individuals or teams to collaborate with to be successful in your MSN program and as a practicing nurse.
