Nutritional Principles in Nursing

/in /by

NU117/NUR1172 Section 03 Nutritional Principles in Nursing (11 Weeks) – Online Plus – 2023 Fall Quarter

Module 01 Discussion – Dietary Likes and Dislikes Awareness

Discussion Topic

Activity Time:

2 hours

Directions:

Our nutrition and eating patterns are shaped by our perceptions of food; what we have learned to like and dislike, what we feel is healthful, and it is even formed by our family, cultural, and religious beliefs.

For this discussion, list five foods/liquids you like and five foods/liquids you don't like and/or avoid. For each you like, describe why you like them. For example, you might say I like to eat chocolate chip cookies because they remind me of my grandmother.

For the five you do not like to eat/avoid, explain why. For example, you might say I don't eat lima beans because they taste too mushy in my mouth or I don't drink milk because I am lactose intolerant, or I don't eat beef because of religious beliefs.

In addition to explaining why you don't like the five foods/liquids, also include what it would take (if possible) for you to overcome your dislike of the food/liquid.

Please make an initial post by midweek, and respond to at least two other student's posts with substantial details that demonstrate an understanding of the concepts and critical thinking. Remember that your posts must exhibit appropriate writing mechanics including using proper language, cordiality, and proper grammar and punctuation. If you refer to any outside sources or reference materials, be sure to provide proper attribution and/or citation.

Nursing Assignment

WEEK 5

This paper will have three parts addressing two important pieces of legislation related to the right of individuals to make health care decisions for themselves.

Part I

The Advance Health Care Directive 

Locate a copy of an advanced directive (AD) that complies with the laws of the state in which you work. The organization in which you work should have a copy of an advance directive that is given to patients. If not, download your state's Advance Directives here 

http://www.caringinfo.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3289.Links to an external site.

Complete the advance directive for yourself.  
Do not turn in your AD with your paper. The AD is for your personal use.

In your paper, Part I:

1. Identify where you obtained the AD and explain its compliance with state law.

2. Conduct research (1-2 sources) to learn more about the AD in your state and explain how it works.   

3. Discuss how easy or difficult it was to complete the AD. Your comments should be specific and both objective and
 subjective. For example, when you state your personal feelings, you must relate them to the literature (textbook and research) that discusses this process and the difficulties that many people face when completing an advance directive.

(Cite/ reference any sources you use to explore these questions, including your texts.)

Part II

Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) Form

1. What is a 

Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) formLinks to an external site.
?

POLST: Portable medical orders for seriously ill or frail individuals

2. When should this form be completed?

3. Who can complete the form?

4. Who needs to sign the form to make it a legal document?

(Cite/reference any sources you use to explore these questions, including your texts.)

Part III

Tie the two first sections together by writing a summary and conclusion.

This section should address:

1. the differences between an Advance Health Care Directive and the POLST,

2. the RN's important role in assuring the patient's right to autonomy in choosing the healthcare interventions the patient does or does not want.

____________________________________________

Use current APA Style.

The paper should be between 3-5 pages in length excluding the title and reference page(s). 

Cite and reference the course text and at least two (2) additional appropriate professional sources.

Hello Class,

Within my tenure as a nurse in Colorado's chronic disease unit, I had the privilege of caring for a patient who was facing complications associated with end-stage kidney disease, ultimately progressing toward the final stage of life. The patient's journey commenced with recurrent urinary tract infections that gradually deteriorated over time, resulting in the emergence of pyelonephritis. As the patient's condition worsened, they started to manifest fever, chills, flank pain, and profound fatigue.

Collaborating closely with the medical team, we commenced a proactive course of action by administering potent antibiotics and diligently overseeing the patient's vital signs and laboratory findings. Despite our best efforts, the infection persisted and evolved into sepsis, placing the patient in a critical condition. This unfortunate turn of events has placed the patient in a critical condition, requiring immediate attention and intensive care. The patient and their family were provided with information regarding the gravity of the situation, and conversations transitioned towards prioritising the patient's comfort and preserving their dignity during their final moments.

As the patient's health continued to decline, the family remained a steadfast source of support, offering emotional solace and actively engaging in care-related choices. During the patient's final hours, I had the privilege of observing the remarkable influence of advanced pain management, palliative care, and the comforting presence of the family. The serene passing of the patient emphasized the significance of managing end-stage complications through a collaborative approach involving various healthcare professionals and effective communication.

This experience has further strengthened my dedication to advocating for the desires of our patients, fostering transparent discussions regarding treatment choices, and delivering comprehensive care throughout the terminal phases of life. As a nurse, I acknowledge the honor of providing assistance to patients and their loved ones amidst difficult circumstances, and I hold onto this knowledge as a testament to the significant impact nurses have in the lives of those they attend to during this sensitive period of end-of-life care.
