In this assignment, you will explore and apply theories of development to your personal experiences.

/in /by

In this assignment, you will explore and apply theories of development to your personal experiences.

Background

Understanding theories of development is key in psychology. All people proceed through specific areas of change and growth in key areas as they go through life. Whatever path we take in life, understanding theories of development will assist us in motivating and guiding others, as well as understanding ourselves.

Instructions

Apply the theories of development to your personal life experience by answering each of the following questions.

  1. Jean Piaget’s Stage Theory of Cognitive Development: At what age do you feel you entered the stage ofFormal Operational Thought? Explain the stage briefly and then focus on providing examples of ways your thinking has shifted to indicate you have developed into this stage of reasoning. (For instance, provide an example of how your views of justice or morality have shifted as you’ve matured.)
  1. Developmental Stage Theory of Erik Erikson: Choose one stage from Erikson’s Developmental Stage Theory and apply it to your own life. Explain the stage, age that it occurs, and how the central challenge of that stage played out in your life. What was the outcome of this stage for you? Did anything happen in your life prior to that stage that affected the outcome? How does the outcome from that stage affect how you are today? Provide specific details that demonstrate your understanding of the stage you choose.
  1. Lawrence Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development: Considering the moral or ethical decisions that you have made in your life, describe one decision you made based on one of the three levels of moral development. Be sure to clearly explain the level of moral development and clearly identify the underlying ethical reasoning behind your decision. (For instance, you may explain a decision you made based on Preconventional morality when you were a child, or you may focus on a decision you made from a higher level of development as an adult.)
  2. Developmental Milestones: Motor Development. The unfolding of biological potential is known as “maturation.” Motor skill development in babies is mostly controlled by the process of maturation. Think about a child that you have known (yourself, your own child, a friend or family member). Describe how the child progressed from rolling over, to sitting, standing, and walking. At what age did each milestone occur? Did the development occur in a “typical” sequence based on what you’ve learned in your text? Is there anything that occurred in the child’s environment that either delayed motor development or facilitated it? What is the difference between “maturation” and “learning,” based on your readings and observation?

Your response should be a 3–4-page Microsoft Word document written in a clear, concise, and organized manner. Be sure to demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA); and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation. For help in citing sources, click on Academic Resources under Course Home.

How does discharge planning affect children diagnosed with chronic respiratory illness, re hospitalization rates in a 60 day period?

/in /by

PICOT question and assignment details below, please read entire document.

Question description

PLEASE READ ENTIRE DOCUMENT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.

Professor and class,

The approved systematic review I decided to go with discharge plans to prevent hospital readmission for acute exacerbation in children with chronic respiratory illness.

Question: How does discharge planning affect children diagnosed with chronic respiratory illness, re hospitalization rates in a 60 day period?

P- Children diagnosed with chronic respiratory illness.

I- Detailed discharge planning upon initial hospitalization period.

C- No discharge teaching during initial hospitalization.

O- Re hospitalization within 60 days period.

T- Time 60 days.

In the past year the home health agency that I’m currently employed was granted permission to start providing services for pediatric patients. Within this population we serve the vast majority suffer from chronic respiratory diseases. The clients diagnosis include tracheostomy, ventilator dependency and oxygen dependency. A trend observed among several patients is re hospitalizations for the same diagnosis within a few months. Even though discharge instructions is provided via paper documentation no formal teaching is completed per parents verbalization during the hospitalization period. My view of the lack of education / teaching is due to the diagnosis being chronic, discharge planners may assume parents are knowledgeable. Tools that I utilize during the teaching period are reinforcement of disease process is certainly required to prevent re hospitalizations of chronic respiratory illness patients. Detail sign and symptoms to monitor on a daily basis along with vital signs parameters as a guide. The importance to report change in condition to MD immediately in order not to delay early intervention preventing hospitalization. Furthermore new and improved treatments can help with managing chronic respiratory diseases at home. Documenting daily activities can assist in assessing when change in condition initially occurred. The RN assessment following hospitalization reveals parents / guardians require detail teaching and reinforcement of caring for children diagnosed with chronic respiratory diseases at home. Adherence to medications, follow up with specialist, infection control methods and precautions are always provided upon my assessment in efforts to prevent re hospitalization.

Research gap is when inadequate data retricts potential to attain a conclusive resolution to proposed evidence based questions. ( Elsevier, 2013). Gap happens between current data and immediate day to day clinical practice.

How can RNs support the patient’s decision when the beliefs of the patient are contrary to their own?

/in /by

Nursing

Scenario:

Mark, a 35-year-old, was brought via ambulance to the emergency department after collapsing on the street. He was diagnosed with appendicitis and the surgical team was alerted to the potential surgery. The physician prepared to obtain informed consent and began discussing the simple effective surgery and the treatment with the patient. The RN was present at the bedside. The patient stated he did not want surgery. Based upon his beliefs as a Christian Scientist, it is against his practices. He requested a Christian Science practitioner. The patient rated his pain as 9 on 0-10 verbal pain scale so the RN prepared the narcotic analgesic to relieve the patient’s pain. The patient declined the medication. The RN believes the patient should accept the pain medication and have the surgery thinking “If it were me I would proceed with the surgery and treatments proposed by the surgeon.” The surgeon can be heard speaking to a fellow surgeon about how to go about changing the patient’s decision.

Initial Discussion Post:

Address the following:

  1. State and discuss the legal and ethical considerations occurring in this scenario. Include supporting citations.
  2. How can RNs support the patient’s decision when the beliefs of the patient are contrary to their own? List three (3) interventions, with supporting rationales, the RN would perform to ensure the delivery of culturally sensitive care.
  3. Identify one (1) additional major religion, in which the same circumstances might also require the RN to advocate for the patient’s refusal of surgery. Describe the beliefs behind why the identified religion could pose a moral conflict for a similar patient.

Base your initial post on your readings and research of this topic. Your initial post must contain a minimum of 250 words. References, citations, and repeating the question do not count towards the 250 word minimum.

What do you think nursing is? What has most influenced how you see nursing? How do you react to shows that have nurses on them? How do you think this can affect the view of nursing that the general public will have? Have you had family or friends question why you would want to become a nurse? Have you had someone tell you to become a doctor instead? What can we as nurses and nursing students do to positively or negatively affect the image of nursing? This is more of a “personal” discussion and I do not expect you to bring in resources, unless you want to. If you have not already done so, please review the rubric for discussion posts-they need to be “substantial”- have depth and your answers need to be substantial and carry forward the conversation.
