Working with people with learning or cognitive impairments

0408444@ucol.ac.nz — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0100

I think that it is important to find out what it is that the client can and can't do, and to let them do as much as they can, and to then encourage them to learn new ways to do what they are at the time unable to do.

Reflection ofBN506

0408444@ucol.ac.nz — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0100

I have learnt a fair bit from BN506 in the last two weeks, I have been introduced to new theorists, such as Erik Erikson, and his theory on psychosocial development, and the 8 stages. I have also been introduced to a new word "meta-communication", which involves all aspects of communication, I have alss learnt alot about emotional intelligence, and therapeutic communication and how we need to understand these concepts to communicate efficiently as a nurse to be.

cognitive impairments

alisha.dalby@yahoo.com — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0100

When working with indivduals with cognitive impairments, i think it is important to consider the extent of their limitations. I feel its important that we dont make assumptions about their limitations as this could result in making them feel inferior.Once this information has been established we can then decide on approriate communication techniques.

Relections from week 1 and 2

buzzybee_1@hotmail.com — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0100

Well the first week back at ucol has been a good start. Enjoyed learning more about Eriksons theories, i have studied these before but a long time ago so it was a nice refresher for me. I have enjoyed watching people since going thru this again to see what stage they are in and if they "act" in the right stages.

Also i have enjoyed learning a bit more about non verbal communication, i am not a big talker so again like to observe. Recently i have been watching [...]

BN506 Reflection

alisha.dalby@yahoo.com — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0100

In BN506 i have broadened my knowledge on Erik Eriksons theory and learnt about the different ways to communicate through the different life stages, which i had not put much thought into before. I have also discovered emotional intelligence and find this very interesting in relation to communicating with others .

Male hair loss

matikvaldez@zibiz.me — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0100

Male hair loss, also known as alopecia or pattern baldness, is the most common among men and it is caused by heightened sensitivity to male sex hormones in given scalp areas. Most hair loss patterns are inherited. Once perceived as an undesirable situation to find yourself in, men suffering from male hair loss have learned to accept and embrace their condition.
Hair loss is first and foremost a personal issue.
Treatments for male hair loss include a variety of processes and procedures [...]

When the patient and physician don't speak the same language

kenb@p-h.com — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0100

by Fran London, RN, MS

Most health care providers agree that when the patient and the physician speak different languages (officially called “patient-physician language discordance”), a language interpreter is needed to diagnose and treat with informed consent.

We also know exercise, diet, and smoking play a large role in health outcomes. Lifestyle is important for both preventing and treating many chronic conditions. Lifestyle counseling [...]

Nurses are extremely in demand (the United States Health Resources and Services Administration projects a shortage of 213,000 nurses as early as next year, 2010) and the challenge and satisfaction nurses receive in their profession also is high.
