BEFORE BEGINNING PLEASE REFER BACK TO MODULE 1 CASE IN REGARDS TO HEALTH HOME AGENCY, AS SARA’S SUPERVISOR

Discussion: Recognizing a Problem

There is a tendency among managers to quickly resolve problems even though they may not full understand or appreciate the many causal factors contributing to the problem. As a result, these managers function like firefighters, putting quick fixes to problems in hopes that they will be resolved. In reality, some problems are resolved whereas, in many cases, the perceived solution is short lived and non-effective.   On the other hand, there are managers who suffer from a phenomenon known as “analysis paralysis”. They become so obsessed with identifying and analyzing “all” of the casual factors associated with a problem that the manager may never get around to implementing a solution.

Keeping in mind the case of the home health agency that we have discussed since Module 1. As Sara’s supervisor, how would you approach her case to ensure timely solution is implemented in regards to the concern of disease outbreak? What are the limitations of your approach?

Substance Use

e. The increased access to health care information from the Internet and the growing number of books, audio recordings, and video recordings published on health maintenance, alternative medicine, herbs, vitamins, minerals, and over-the-counter medications and preparations

f. Spiraling health care costs; use of health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations (PPO), or internal plan provider lists; lack of health insurance; increased reliance on self-diagnosis, treatment, and care; and increased availability of diagnostic kits for home-based self-diagnostic testing

 What is the prevalence of pain in older adults? How will you, as a nurse, be more aware of

pain issues related to older adults and what will the nurse incorporate into practice to alleviate these

issues?

The issue of the elderly has been presented as the most relevant emerging issue in recent times, especially if it is considered that this population has experienced a notable growth, in response to numerous factors, which have been combined to support a greater hope of lifetime. Social support is a determining factor for the development of the patient care process and has also been analyzed from the field in which it occurs, the affective, cognitive and behavioral level; where the dimensions or sources of emotional, material and informative support are distinguished. The affective plane corresponds to the dimension of emotional support; the behavioral level includes the dimension of tangible, material, or instrumental support, and the cognitive level includes the dimension of informational or strategic support (Health & Medicine, 2016).

The different practice strategies that can be implemented to alleviate any problem is to show the older adult that someone is available, through physical presence to show affection, affection, belonging, through hugs, invitations to walk, to walking around, sending cards, flowers, company in prayers, listening attentively; Other alternative ways of offering support are added such as the use of the internet, telephone calls, which try to alleviate uncertainty, anxiety, isolation and depression; depending on the contextual circumstances, verbal exchanges and physical contact are not always accepted, as there are people who are reluctant to openly express their thoughts and emotions (Rashedi, et. Al, 2017).
