Pastoral care

days. When we got there the nurse gave us a tour of the facility and talked about basic information of care. Throughout the day, we were able to talk to the “participants” and staff to obtain more information. There were plenty of differences between the role of the medical-surgical nurse and the adult daycare center, but not many similar roles. The role of a medical-surgical nurse is to take care of a certain number of patient for a particular reason in a hospital setting. At the adult…

“parents should have done something for the child but failed to do so,” such as denying medical care or not feeding them) or abuse (GRTEP defines this as “Abuse means that you did something to hurt your child,” such as molesting them or hitting them hard enough to break bones) are going unreported or uninvestigated, children are living in miserable conditions (even after DCS intervention or when in foster care), and are not given a smooth transition into adulthood. Perhaps a more family centered…

Adoption is a complicated thing, it can take months, weeks, years to be able to start your family. Many people adopt because they can not have a child of their own, some people adopt because they feel like those children that don’t have a family should have a family before another human being is brought into the world, then there is also the gay community but that goes with the can’t have a baby of their own category and some of the other. I wanna throw some facts down about adoption, and how…

services are paid for once rendered. For the U.S., the financing breakdown consists of “health care expenditures were paid by households 28%, private businesses 21%, state and local governments 16%, and federal government 27%.” ("HealthPAC » Health Care Statistics in the United States," n.d.) Americans spend more money on health care than any other of the industrialized countries, and the cost of health care continues to rise. The reasons for the rise in medical cost in the U.S. are due to the…

The American Health Care Dilemma “Affordable universal health care for every single American must not be a question of whether, it must be a question of how” (Obama 1). As Barack Obama neared the end of his first presidential campaign, he spoke about the need for universal health care in America. While he did implement Obamacare, this policy has left many people angry and disappointed. The end product was nowhere near what the public hoped for, so as a nation we were back to square one. This…

In What We Talk About When We Talk About Love by Raymond Carver we are shown a range of different themes, one being young love vs. old love. In these short stories, Carver illustrates his inner beliefs and possibly his own experiences of young and old love. Young love is immature, selfish and unable to communicate in a way that results in the couple separating while old love is unselfish, supportive and committed to someone who they see as the center of their universe and nothing less. In…

suicide, euthanasia, and withdrawal of life support are the topics of a controversial discussion in the medical field. Many physicians do not believe in PAS because it is against their morals. The patient’s family may also advocate for end of life care, but that is ultimately the patient’s decision. There are now five states that participate in the Death with Dignity act within the United States. Physician assisted suicide is a highly controversial topic since it was first made legal 1997. To…

health care. To turn a blind eye to those in need is a typical reaction of the government to poor mental health in China. This kind of response is reflected in Chinese healthcare and psychiatric resources, if any, provided by the Chinese government: “Only 1 in 12 Chinese needing psychiatric care ever sees a professional, according to a study last year in The Lancet, a British medical journal. China has no national mental health law, little insurance coverage for psychiatric care, almost no care…

The existing mental health system in the United States is fairly new with less structure on standards of care such as with empirically validated treatments or primary prevention models (Behbehani et al., 155). The 2008 Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) and the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), were designed to extend insurance for individuals with mental illnesses who were unable to before (Health Insurance, n.d.).
