follow all directions   Matthew Matthew is a single 40-year-old African American male. He was admitted to the Hart City Rehabilitation Facility (HCRF) following a brain injury. His complex medical history includes alcohol and cocaine abuse, lung disease, and other problems. He has a criminal record for theft, experienced chronic unemployment, and lived alone in a home owned by a relative who occasionally provided him with a meal. Matthew lacks financial resources, such as a bank account or social service benefits. He cannot verbalize any long-term goals or plans for himself. Upon admission to the HCRF, Matthew requested that an advanced human services professional practitioner assist him with applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. He also reported that there had been a fire at his relative’s house and that he was eligible for $7,500 in insurance claims for the loss of his personal belongings in the fire. He did not want the relative contacted and, instead, requested that the advanced human services professional practitioner contact the insurance company, file the claim, and collect the benefits. Matthew is clearly vulnerable, and he needs assistance. However, given Matthew’s history and recent brain injury, there is a very strong possibility that Matthew’s claim is not valid, as it does not look like Matthew had $7,500 in personal possessions. The advanced human services professional practitioner may participate in fraud if they help file Matthew’s claim. image1.jpeg

RESPOND TO THIS TWO PEERS CITE APA FORMAT RESOURCES {2019-2024) chinoyere Understanding and exploiting my strengths as a nurse is critical for providing excellent patient care and effectively contributing to the healthcare team. Upon completing the StrengthsFinder assessment, my top five Clifton strengths are maximizer, connectedness, achiever, belief, and empathy (Gallup, 2024). The strengths I possess significantly influence my method of nursing practice, from how I engage with patients to my collaboration with team members, and the manner I overcome obstacles. Results from the StrengthsFinder Assessment Maximizer: As someone who always strives for excellence, my motivation lies in refining and advancing the current methods and results within the nursing field. This particular trait encourages me to promote teamwork and excellence as a nurse. I want to foster teamwork by recognizing and using each team member’s unique abilities, skills, and experiences. I encourage cooperation, mutual support, and individual growth via mentoring, training, and shared learning. I want to improve patient care, results, and our collective healthcare excellence by stressing a strengths-based approach. Connectedness: In my nursing work, I believe in the interconnection of all things. I believe life has few coincidences and that most events have meaning. I see everything as part of a wider tapestry, including patient-family relationships, medical results, and healthcare team dynamics. This viewpoint governs my behaviors and judgments, driving me to seek greater knowledge and connection in every scenario. Recognizing the importance of each moment, I provide comprehensive and compassionate treatment that recognizes the complex web of connections and experiences that make up the healthcare journey. Achiever: With a strong achiever theme, I am inspired to establish and achieve goals via devotion and tenacity. This motivates me to explore professional development opportunities, advocate for patient needs, and help improve healthcare outcomes in nursing. Belief: My nursing profession is based on strong ideas and values, and I stress honesty, compassion, and ethical behavior. This belief informs my relationships with patients, families, and coworkers, ensuring that care is provided with decency, respect, and empathy. Empathy: In my role as a nurse, empathy plays a pivotal role, allowing me to grasp and cater to the emotional requirements of patients and their families. My goal is to foster authentic relationships, offer solace, and assist patients as they navigate through their medical treatments and recovery.   Core values, strengths, and characteristics I would like to strengthen. I aim to strengthen the core values of resilience and integrity. Resilience is a positive idea that enables nurses to endure difficult events and adapt constructively, thereby maintaining their psychological well-being and mental health (Kim, E.Y., & Chang, S.O., 2022). By enhancing resilience, I will be better equipped to handle challenges, obstacles, and demanding circumstances within the healthcare field, ensuring my well-being remains intact and enabling me to consistently deliver exemplary care to those who require it with unwavering commitment and persistence. Additionally, reinforcing integrity ensures that I adhere to ethical norms and professional benchmarks, embodying honesty, openness, and reliability in every facet of my professional practice. Giving precedence to these core principles will allow me to contribute significantly towards positive outcomes for patients, establish trust-based relationships with my peers, and safeguard the esteem of the nursing field. Two Strengths The two strengths I would like to strengthen are communication and adaptability.  As a nurse, strengthening effective communication skills involves the ability to convey information, compassionately, and accurately to patients, their families, and other healthcare team members. Effective communication also involves providing information promptly, addressing questions and concerns, and collaborating with interdisciplinary team members to ensure coordinated and patient-centered care (Sharkiya S.H., 2023). I will continue to improve my communication skills. Furthermore, adaptability is an essential skill for nurses, particularly in the dynamic and fast-paced healthcare setting. I work with a wide range of patients in ever-changing healthcare settings. I want to quickly respond to changing patient demands and unexpected problems like treatment protocol modifications or emergencies. Adaptable nurses can readily adjust to changes in patient conditions, organizational policies, and healthcare protocols.  I need to be flexible to stay calm, address problems swiftly, and assure continuity of service, improving patient outcomes and hospital culture. Two Characteristics to Strengthen I am committed to enhancing my abilities in critical thinking and task delegation. Improving my critical thinking skills will allow me to dissect complex issues, reach informed conclusions, and deliver superior care to a wide range of patients more effectively. Furthermore, according to the American Nurses Association. (2023), “Effective delegation involves ongoing collaboration, communication, and trust”. Honing my delegation skills will enable me to assign responsibilities more effectively to the right members of our team, thereby increasing efficiency and ensuring that all patient care needs are met in a detailed manner. My goal, by concentrating on these skills, is to improve my overall performance as a nurse, foster beneficial outcomes for patients, and make a significant contribution to the effectiveness of our healthcare team. In conclusion, the StrengthsFinder assessment has provided valuable insights into my strengths and areas for growth as a nurse. By aligning my actions with core values, leveraging strengths such as communication and adaptability, and striving to strengthen characteristics like delegation and critical thinking, I’m dedicated to offering kind, excellent care and developing as a healthcare practitioner all the time. Through ongoing reflection and development, I aim to maximize my potential and make a positive impact on the well-being of patients and their families.   Voong Tu Brief Description of Results This week’s exercise was really insightful, and it made me consider my behaviors and principles in a way that has allowed me to take some time for reflection. To effectively contribute to the healthcare team and provide good patient care, it is imperative that I recognize and leverage my talents as a nurse. My top five Clifton strengths, as determined by the StrengthsFinder testing, are futuristic, consistency, communication, discipline, and significance (Gallup, 2024).    Two Core Values   Two core values highlighted by the assessment are Authenticity and Excellence. They are fundamental core values that shape character and guide behavior in various aspects of life. Authenticity involves the consistent alignment of actions with one’s true beliefs, values, and emotions. It emphasizes genuine self-expression and fosters trust and rapport in relationships. Brene Brown, a renowned researcher and author, extensively discusses the importance of authenticity in building meaningful connections with others, highlighting its role in cultivating resilience and empathy (Rivera et. al, 2019).    Excellence, on the other hand, revolves around the relentless pursuit of mastery and the constant striving for the highest standards of performance. Drawing from Aristotle’s philosophy, excellence is viewed not merely as an isolated act but as a habit cultivated through persistent effort and dedication (Virtues are excellences, 2022). It encompasses a commitment to continuous learning and improvement, driving individuals to push beyond their limits to achieve greatness. By embracing authenticity and excellence as core values, individuals uphold integrity in their actions and inspire others to pursue their aspirations with unwavering dedication and integrity.   Two Strengths Consistency and discipline are indispensable strengths that contribute significantly to personal and professional success. Consistency plays a vital role in nursing, where it ensures the delivery of high-quality care and fosters trust among patients (Gotze et. al, 2022). In my nursing experience, I recall a situation where a patient with chronic health issues required regular monitoring and medication administration. Despite the demanding workload and occasional disruptions, maintaining consistency in my approach was paramount. By adhering to established protocols and routines, I could effectively manage the patient’s condition and provide reassurance to both the patient and their family members. Consistent communication with the healthcare team ensured seamless coordination of care, leading to positive outcomes and improved patient satisfaction. This experience highlighted the importance of consistency in nursing practice, highlighting its ability to enhance patient outcomes and foster a sense of reliability and trust in the healthcare setting. Discipline, on the other hand, involves the self-control and commitment to follow through on tasks and responsibilities, even in the face of challenges or distractions.Discipline in nursing is essential for ensuring patient safety, adhering to protocols, and maintaining professional standards. In my nursing experience, I encountered a challenging situation where a critically ill patient required meticulous care and attention to detail. Despite the high-pressure environment and long hours, discipline was crucial in staying focused and executing tasks with precision. Through disciplined time management and prioritization, I could effectively balance the patient’s complex needs while collaborating with the healthcare team to provide comprehensive care. Upholding discipline in adhering to medication schedules, documentation requirements, and infection control protocols ensured optimal patient outcomes and minimized the risk of errors. This experience reinforced the importance of discipline in nursing practice, highlighting its role in upholding standards of excellence and promoting patient well-being amidst demanding circumstances. Embracing these strengths allows me to navigate through complex situations with resilience and achieve desired outcomes with perseverance and determination.   Two Characteristics to Strengthen To strengthen my weaknesses in risk-taking and delegation, I can employ various strategies aimed at building confidence and effectiveness in these areas. Regarding risk-taking, I can reframe failure as a learning opportunity rather than a setback, fostering a growth mindset. Embracing calculated risks and starting with smaller, manageable steps can gradually increase my comfort levels with uncertainty. Seeking mentorship or guidance from experienced individuals who have successfully navigated risks can also provide valuable insights and support. Additionally, setting clear goals and evaluating potential risks and rewards can help me make informed decisions.    When it comes to delegation, honing my communication skills is crucial to effectively convey expectations, responsibilities, and timelines to team members. Developing trust in the capabilities of others and relinquishing control over minor tasks can free up my time and mental energy for higher-level strategic planning (Crevacore, Jacob, Coventry, & Duffield, 2023).  Practicing active listening and providing constructive feedback can facilitate smoother delegation processes and empower team members to take ownership of their roles. Ultimately, consistent practice, self-reflection, and a willingness to step outside my comfort zone are key to strengthening these weaknesses and becoming more proficient in risk-taking and delegation.

For specific details and criteria, refer to the discussion rubric in the Menu (⋮) or in the Course Overview Weekly Discussion Guidelines.  1 st peer response  Kiersten BarkerMar 25, 2024 at 10:27 AM   The characteristics that I find important for a healthy work envrionment include inclusivity, positivity from management, and open communication. Inclusivity makes everyone feel part of a team and heard by the administration. According to Best Practices in Human Resources for Inclusive Employment: An In-depth Review, “Inclusive employment goes beyond compliance with anti-discrimination laws; it embraces a proactive approach to create environments where individuals of all backgrounds, abilities, and identities feel valued and included” (Ezeafulukwe et. al. p.1 para. 1, 2024). Positivity from management makes people’s overall mood better while at work. It also influences others to be positive and can improve overall floor morale. Open communication makes the staff feel included in floor decisions and that their opinions matter while keeping them informed.    As a leader, I try to remind myself to foster these things every day, even if that isn’t easy. I do this by checking in with my staff at the beginning of the shift. I ask how they feel about their assignment, if is there anything I can do for them or get for them, and try to give them a silver lining to any issue. This reminds them that I care about them and their wellbeing which helps build trust and facilitates open communication. Some unhealthy situations I have had to handle as a nurse leader would include staff excluding other staff and spreading rumors. In this situation, the staff came to me and told me that two nurses on the night shift seemed to ignore everyone else and had heard them speaking ill of other staff. The strategies that I used for this situation were inclusivity and open communication. After being told this, I pulled the individuals aside, brought the exclusion to their attention, and discussed how important inclusivity was. When this didn’t work, I brought them into a meeting with my director to openly discuss it and let them know that I was taking it up the chain of command. This strategy seemed to work but I told my staff that if they noticed any further exclusion to bring it to my attention so I could let my director know.  References Ezeafulukwe, C., Onyekwelu, S.

International Journal of Science and Research Archive. 2nd peer response  Madison Snell Mar 25, 2024 at 3:28 PM A healthy work environment is imperative to success in the workplace. A healthy work environment can consist of positive attitudes, adequate staffing, and supportive management. That is what a healthy work environment looks like to me, as a nurse and future nurse leader. As a nurse leader I would have an “open-door” policy. I would encourage staff to come to me with any issues that they may have, and if it involved another coworker, I would uphold 100% confidence in their words. I would try my best to rectify the situation that is causing any negativity in the work environment. Adequate staffing is something I would fight for on my unit. I do not want my nurses to feel unsupported by management because we are not supporting the needs of the unit. Supportive management is also crucial to a healthy work environment. When staff feel like they can express things to management a rapport is formed. Managers who are willing to work with employees when they need it, this helps maintain a healthy work environment.  In my experience, I have left the workplace due to unhealthy work environments. The unhealthy work environment was due to negative attitudes and snide remarks made by floor nurses and the charge nurse. Instead of teaching others when something could have been done something differently or more efficiently, the nurse would be talked about or ridiculed by the nurse leader. This shows poor leadership. When the issue was taken to management, the nurse being ridiculed was told “That’s just her, she doesn’t mean anything by it”. This made the nurse feel like she could not trust her management. I could not work in that kind of environment where I felt like others were constantly judging or talking when you do things differently than they would have. When nurses are working in unhealthy environments, it can lead to decreased productivity by nurses (Sökmen, 2018).  References Er, F., & Sökmen, S. (2018).

All sources used in discussion post (s) include properly formatted APA in-text citation(s) and full reference (s). 1st peer post: McKenzie LedbetterMar 25, 2024 at 10:37 PM Culture, beliefs, and societal values significantly impact health outcomes by shaping individuals’ behaviors, understanding of health and illness, and interactions with healthcare systems. Access to healthcare further influences outcomes because it determines the availability and quality of care received. Cultural beliefs influence perceptions of health and illness, affecting how symptoms are recognized, when medical help is sought, and the types of treatments considered acceptable (National Institutes of Health, 2021). Access to healthcare determines the timeliness and quality of care, which are critical for positive health outcomes. Barriers to access can worsen health disparities (National Institutes of Health, 2021). To ensure that a client’s culture, beliefs, values, and access to care are respected and integrated into their care, healthcare providers can implement several interventions: 1. Cultural Competence Training: Educate staff on cultural diversity and sensitivity to better understand and respect patients’ cultural backgrounds. 2. Patient-Centered Communication: Engage in open dialogue with patients about their beliefs and preferences regarding treatment options. 3. Inclusive Decision-Making: Involve patients and their families in the care process, respecting their cultural practices and decision-making structures. 4. Language Services: Offer translation and interpretation services to overcome language barriers and ensure clear communication. 5. Collaboration with Community Leaders: Work with community figures to build trust and understand community-specific health needs. By implementing these interventions, healthcare providers can create a more inclusive environment that acknowledges and incorporates diverse cultural perspectives, leading to improved health outcomes and patient satisfaction (Health Policy Institute, 2018).

(2021, July 7). Cultural respect. National Institutes of Health (NIH).   2nd peer post: Darrell Williams Mar 27, 2024 at 7:13 PM · Discuss the impact of culture, beliefs regarding health and illness, societal values and access to health care have on health outcomes. Something that I was horrified to take note of was the Vulnerability and Disease presentation. The slide on “Minorities & Health” showed, “In the US, infants born to African-American women are 1.5 to 3 times more likely to die than infants born to women of other races/ethnicity” (Poverty, vulnerability, & disease, n.d., slide 6). I believe that this is related to access to healthcare. The fact that this is noted in today’s society is horrifying. Communities have healthcare, and while not close, somewhere in the town or city, there are hospitals that can provide care. The broken system prevents a baby from receiving the healthcare that should be afforded to save life. Culture, beliefs, and values all contribute to health outcomes. The way that a family views healthcare can prevent anyone from that family from ever seeking out preventive care or care needed during a healthcare crisis. Societal values also dictate when or if people seek out healthcare. Societal values include the entire spectrum of individual and community behaviors, access, available funding, etc. Societal values encompass the whole picture of a person: how they act, live, where they live, eating habits, access to healthy foods, access to medical care, ability, and willingness to exercise. It is the big-picture view of all of the elements that contribute to the health outcomes of every individual. · What are some interventions you can implement in the clinical setting to ensure that a client’s culture, beliefs, values, and access to care are incorporated into their care as much as possible?  This is a topic that should be considered for every patient that we care for. Values, beliefs, and income are all components that must be viewed before prescribing medications, for example. While this is not something that nurses have to be concerned with, we can still ask physicians to prescribe generic drugs to assist the patient in being able to afford the medication. For follow-up appointments, for example, nursing can speak with the patient to see what time of day may allow the patient to return for a follow-up if living a distance from the facility and taking public transportation. Being scheduled later in the day will allow the patient sufficient time to get to the appointment. Asking questions when working with patients will enable nurses to help set the patient up for success, given the patient’s circumstances and willingness to do whatever may be required. · Use this week as an opportunity to apply this content in practice to achieve the outcome of providing patient-centered care. Find an opportunity to assess a client’s culture, beliefs, values, and access to care (or, if you are not currently practicing in direct patient care, you can determine these with a co-worker or someone in your community). You can also reflect on a previous experience in practice (particularly in your replies to peers). I questioned an inmate who was being released from jail. A medical provider was seeing him in jail, and the medications prescribed by that provider were released to him. I asked him what barriers he may experience in the continuation of the medications that he had been prescribed, particularly his psych medications. He answered that he would like to continue to take them. With that said, he was released with more than two weeks of his medications, and he agreed that if I called in those prescriptions to the pharmacy near his house, he would pick up a free month of medications. I called in those prescriptions, and the county pays for them to help bridge the gap from release to re-entry into the community. The patient has significant psychiatric problems. I asked the patient if he felt that he was doing better while taking the medications. He answered that he feels much different than when he came to jail. I talked to him about his ability to pay for the medicines and asked if he would have work after release. The patient said that he had reached out to his previous employer, and the employer agreed to take him back upon release. The patient worked in construction, which offers decent pay. Still, before the release, I contacted the case manager to see if he could get a Medicaid application done before leaving to ensure he would have the means to pay for the medications. The Medicaid application was accepted, and he was enrolled as a recent release from jail. The patient commented that the psych provider helped him immensely and that he wanted to continue working with a provider. I made a call to a psych provider in a clinic approximately half a mile from his home, sent over his records, and set up an appointment for him to have his first visit with the provider. I was able to find out a great deal about his limitations, thoughts regarding treatment, ability to eat, etc, and the patient was thankful for the extra effort that was placed on a successful release.
