Learning Style

 

Learning styles represent the different approaches to learning based on preferences, weaknesses, and strengths. For learners to best achieve the desired educational outcome, learning styles must be considered when creating a plan. Complete “The VARK Questionnaire,” located on the VARK website, and then complete the following:

  1. Click “OK” to receive your questionnaire scores.
  2. Once you have determined your preferred learning style, review the corresponding link to view your learning preference.
  3. Review the other learning styles: visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic, and multimodal (listed on the VARK Questionnaire Results page).
  4. Compare your current preferred learning strategies to the identified strategies for your preferred learning style.
  5. Examine how awareness of learning styles has influenced your perceptions of teaching and learning.

In a paper (900-950 words), summarize your analysis of this exercise and discuss the overall value of learning styles. Include the following:

  1. Provide a summary of your learning style(i.e Multimodal) according the VARK questionnaire.
  2. Describe your preferred learning strategies. Compare your current preferred learning strategies to the identified strategies for your preferred learning style.
  3. Describe how individual learning styles affect the degree to which a learner can understand or perform educational activities. Discuss the importance of an educator identifying individual learning styles and preferences when working with learners.
  4. Discuss why understanding the learning styles of individuals participating in health promotion is important to achieving the desired outcome. How do learning styles ultimately affect the possibility for a behavioral change? How would different learning styles be accommodated in health promotion?

Judy, age 20, was admitted to an inpatient psychiatric facility for acute depression and suicidal ideation. She had gone to the local police station the previous afternoon, stating that she was suicidal. The police transported her to the emergency center, and Judy was admitted on a 24-hour emergency mental health hold. O n admission, Judy was obviously depressed and stated that she was still tormented with thoughts about killing herself. Later that evening, the nurses heard a crash from Judy’s room and, upon investigation, found her sitting on the bed with an overturned chair next to the bed. She had torn her robe, tied the pieces together as a rope, and fell from the chair as she was attempting to tie the homemade rope to the ceiling. Judy was immediately placed on a 15-minute observation protocol. The following morning, the patient was still on observation every 15 minutes. The nurse at that point determined that Judy was more coherent and noted that Judy was disturbed by her appearance as she had not bathed in some days. The nurse unlocked the bathroom door so that Judy could shower. S oon after the bathroom door was unlocked, Judy’s psychiatrist came to speak with her. She remained with Judy for about 45 minutes, left the room, and entered a charting area next 

to the nurses’ station. The nurse caring for Judy did not see the psychiatrist leave Judy’s room, nor did the psychiatrist inform the nurse that Judy was now alone in her room. The nurse checked on Judy approximately 15 minutes later. She found Judy hanging by the belt of her bathrobe from the shower rod. Judy was in full cardiac and respiratory arrest, a code was called, and Judy now has severe and permanent anoxic brain injury. Her parents have brought this lawsuit alleging breach of the standard of nursing care.

Was the nurse negligent for unlocking the bath-room door and allowing Judy to shower by herself?

Was it below the standard of care for the nurse to leave the bathroom door unlocked when the psychiatrist came to see Judy?

How significant are the hospital policy and procedures in this instance?

How would you decide this case?

Gonzales was admitted to a surgical center for a routine colonoscopy during which three polyps were removed. The procedure began at 11:00 a.m. and he was released at 12:30 p.m. The patient began experiencing abdominal pain the following day. He tried to phone the attending physician at 2:00 p.m. and later called the physician’s nurse at 5:00 p.m. Mr. Gonzales told the nurse he was experiencing severe abdominal pain and that he was flushed and felt he had a fever. The nurse told Mr. Gonzales that everyone had gone home for the day, and she advised him to take aspirin for the fever and call back in the morning. Mrs. Gonzales drove her husband to the hospital the following morning at 10:00 a.m. He was placed on antibiotics, which did not resolve the problem, and he had surgery on the fifth day following the original colonoscopy. At that time, it was determined that the patient’s intestine was perforated at the time of the 

polyp removal, and Mr. Gonzales now has a permanent colostomy. The patient has now filed a lawsuit against the nurse and physician for malpractice.

Was the nurse negligent in the advice she gave Mr. Gonzales concerning his condition?

Did the nurse exceed her scope of practice in the advice she gave the patient?

Should the nurse have instructed Mr. Gonzales to go immediately to the local emergency center?

How would you decide this case? Who, if anyone, is liable in this case?

Aburu, 81, with a history of cerebral vascular accidents, was hospitalized as an outpatient for a surgical procedure to incise and drain a skin lesion on his chest. After the procedure, he returned to the long-term care facility with sterile packing in the partially sutured incision site. The packing was to remain for 3 days, then be removed, and the wound covered with a dry dressing. The risk of complications for this type of surgery was considered quite low, and both the nursing home administrator and the attending surgeon saw no reason why the patient could not be adequately cared for in the nursing home immediately after surgery. A pproximately 5 hours after Mr. Aburu returned to the nursing home, blood was observed at the incision site. He was transferred back to the acute care hospital, where he died the following day. E vidence at trial showed that for the 5 hours that Mr. Aburu was at the nursing home, several licensed and unlicensed personnel attended to him. At lunchtime, two aides escorted Mr. Aburu to the dining room; lunch was about 3 hours after his return to the 

nursing home. None of the personnel examined his dressing until an aide noticed that he was bleeding though his bed sheets. Shortly after discovering the bleeding, the patient was transferred by ambulance to the hospital. His family has filed a lawsuit for the wrongful death of their father, alleging that the care given to the patient after surgery fell below the acceptable standards of care.

What should the standards of care be for such a patient?

Even though the nursing care plan did not specify that the wound should be checked hourly, how should the prudent nurse have acted?

Should the lawsuit center primarily on the surgeon for allowing this patient to be sent back to the nursing home for post- operative care rather than insisting he be kept for 24 hours in an acute care facility post-operatively?

How would you decide this case?

Legal And Ethical Considerations For Group And Family Therapy 19324563

  

Legal and Ethical Considerations for Group and Family Therapy

Considering the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA), the idea of discussing confidential information with a patient in front of an audience is probably quite foreign to you. However, in group and family therapy, this is precisely what the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner does. In your role, learning how to provide this type of therapy within the limits of confidentiality is essential. For this Discussion, consider how limited confidentiality and other legal and ethical considerations might impact therapeutic approaches for clients in group and family therapy.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

· Compare legal and ethical considerations for group and family therapy to legal and ethical considerations for individual therapy

· Analyze the impact of legal and ethical considerations on therapeutic approaches for clients in group and family therapy

· Recommend strategies to address legal and ethical considerations for group and family therapy

To prepare:

· Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide on group and family therapy.

Ø Write: 

Ø An explanation of how legal and ethical considerations for group and family therapy differ from those for individual therapy. 

Ø Then, explain how these differences might impact your therapeutic approaches for clients in group and family therapy. 

Ø Support your rationale with evidence-based literature.

  • Read the case study presented at the end of Chapter 11 (Guido, p. 222) 
  •  A nurse had been working in a critical care unit for more than 25 years, gaining respect for her competence and dedication before suspicions began to gather that she was diverting narcotics for her 
  • own use. The acute care hospital had recently installed a “computerized medicine cabinet” for enhanced distribution and better monitoring of narcotics. The cabinet recorded the nurse’s per

  • nurses testified that they often deviated from the physician’s order for an IM injection, electing to give the medication by an IV route. Finally, there was testimony that the hospital had no formal policy for which nurse was to document narcotics in the paper record when two nurses, such as a preceptor and a mentee, both had responsibility for the patient. The nurse who was suspended testified that she, too, frequently entered data into the paper record long after she had administered the medication and, in some rare instances, entered the data on the following day.

D   id the facility have sufficient evidence to suspend the nurse from their employee?      2.    How should the testimony of the other nurses in the unit affect the outcome of this case?      3.    What additional questions should the institution address before the court rules in this case?      4.    How would you have ruled in this case?

The nurses were also required to document the narcotic usage by handwriting the patient’s name, medication, time, route, and dosage on a more traditional paper medication administration record (MAR). D iscrepancies were noted between this nurse’s patients’ electronic data for narcotic administration and the handwritten notations made on the paper record. The nurse was first questioned by her supervisors and then she was suspended, as they did not find her explanations credible. Her grievance was upheld by the arbitrator assigned to the case and the hospital appealed. A t trial, other nurses from the same unit testified that they frequently completed their paper record documentation during their breaks or at the end of the shift, often when they could not remember exactly what medications or dosages they had administered to patients. There was additional information that the nurses would electronically sign for narcotics, prepare IV drip bags in advance of when they were needed, and then discard these same IV bags when they were no longer required or the physicians had changed the medication orders. Additionally, these 
    • Did the facility have sufficient evidence to suspend the nurse?
    • How should the testimony of the other nurses in the unit affect the outcome of this case?
    • What additional questions should the institution address before the court rules in this case?
    • How would you have ruled in this case?

  •   preschool teacher called child protective services about a child who appeared to have a vaginal infection and the child protective services worker instructed the mother to take her child to the emergency center at the local acute care facility. In the emergency center, the child was examined by an ANP who found a vaginal tear, which the ANP felt could have been caused by digital penetration. The child would not talk about the injury with the ANP. T he ANP then discussed the child’s case with the child protective services worker, and the child was admitted to the facility. The parents were subsequently questioned regarding potential abuse of the child. Charges of child abuse were filed against the father, who is now a registered sex offender in the state. The parents filed suit against the preschool teacher, the case worker and the ANP. A t trial, evidence was presented that the ANP did not share her findings or impressions of possible child abuse with the mother, the child’s primary pediatrician, or other emergency center physicians. She also did not recommend that the mother contact the 
  • child’s pediatrician for an evaluation and a second opinion. The ANP also admitted that it was possible that the child had scratched herself as a result of the infection and that the child herself had caused the vaginal tear. 
  •   
    • Did the ANP have a duty to consult with the child’s physician or another emergency center physician regarding the possibility of child abuse before she reported her findings to the case worker?
    • What questions would you anticipate might be asked regarding the injury itself and the possibility that the child had caused her own injury?
    • Did the ANP have a duty to report the injury, even though the diagnosis was not absolutely conclusive at the point that the child was initially examined?
    • How would you determine liability in this case, assuming that the trial court found liability against any of the three defendants?
  • Read the case study presented at the end of Chapter 16 (Guido, p. 329) 
  •   licensed practical nurse (LPN) employed by a nursing personnel agency worked one evening shift at the Veterans Administration Hospital in a major city. She cared for a patient who had recently undergone hip replacement surgery. Since his surgery, the patient had consistently spiked significant temperatures, and his temperature generally responded well to oral Tylenol, 500 mg, 2 tablets, every 4 hours as needed. The change nurse explained to the LPN that the patient was to continue on vital signs every 4 hours, including temperatures, and that he was to be medicated if his fever increased, even if only at low-grade levels.  During the evening that she worked, the LPN obtained the patient’s temperature at 4 p.m. and again at 8 p.m. He had a lowgrade fever at the 4 p.m. hour and his temperature had risen to 102 degrees orally at 8 p.m. At both intervals, the LPN administered Tylenol as ordered. The charge nurse did not assess the patient during the evening, nor did she inquire about the patient’s condition. The nurse caring for the patient at midnight noted that his temperature was still elevated (102.4 orally). When notified, the attending physician ordered blood cultures, additional treatment for his ever-increasing fever, and a change in antibiotic therapy. 
  • D espite this aggressive therapy, the patient developed a fatal septicemia and the patient’s family sued for wrongful death. At trial, the court determined that the charge nurse had been derelict in her duty to supervise this patient and assessed partial liability against the LPN and the charge nurse
    • Did the nurse manager have a responsibility to supervise the care of the patient?
    • Was the care of this patient appropriately assigned to the LPN by the charge nurse, or could the charge nurse have delegated this patient’s care more appropriately?
    • If the charge nurse assigned the care of the patient to the LPN, did she retain any supervisory responsibility that would result in her liability in this case?
    • How do the principles associated with delegation and supervision figure into this case?
    • How would you decide this case?
