This book was released on 2016-10-15 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first book about nurse/patient relationships "To Nurse Means to Nurture: The Need for Nurses to Comfort Their Patients" I wanted to prove by research that it is in fact the responsibility of the nurse to comfort their patients and that includes being willing to touch their patients and show them affection. In this book, I am showing how the nurse is the "mother surrogate" but that the team of nurses is the "pseudo family" of the patient and all of them are supposed to comfort their patients and show them affection. I also wanted to show how nurses are supposed to allow the patient to regress and act childlike and be able to ask childlike requests for their childlike needs. And, if at any point the patient should say or do anything to offend the nurse, they are to try to figure out the cause of the behavior that offends them based on the patients own individuality and not what they may falsely assume they mean. If they are offended they need to blow it over and be willing to forgive the patient for saying or doing things that offend them or make them feel weird or uncomfortable without showing condemnation toward them. They are supposed to forgive the patient of any mishaps and continue to treat the patient with the same friendly compassionate comfort and care they always have before they even got offended. In the case of people with autism, some may say some really strange things or make really unusual requests that may seem mischievous in nature from the perspective of what a normal person would mean if they said the same thing, yet what they say that appears mischievous in nature is really an innocent request. It is very easy to misinterpret what an autistic patient wants or is saying. The emotions of what they want and what they feel may be totally different from what a normal person would mean by the same thing and they can be very innocent for asking the question and still bein danger of a scolding harsh lecture by a nurse because the nurse assumed the worst of what they said without first seeing the real reason they were making request. Autistic people have many sensory issues that have to be taken care of and need to be met that may seem strange to you but these sensory problems are very real and can only be relieved by what they are asking you. Nurses need to be very careful not to misinterpret what these people are saying or asking and not prejudge the motives of the autistic individual because unnecessary scolding for bad behavior based on an innocent request will likely be the result. In most instances that nurses do this and figure out later what is really going on, the autistic patient's feelings have already been badly hurt, their needs have gone unmet, and it psychologically hurts their well being. Please make sure to listen to your patients, figure out what is going on before you judge, and be willing to forgive them and go on if you are still offended. With me, I still need your affection and attention and your love and hugs after I mess up and when I don't receive this and get the cold shoulder treatment forever it actually causes me to fall into a deep depression and causes me to lose my will to live. Please be careful what you do and continue to show your loving compassionate care no matter what your patients say think or do to offend you and make you feel weird. Thank you.

This book was released on 2016-04-23 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the need for nurses to comfort their patients and the lack of their willingness to do so. This book shows proof from various resources concerning this issue that states that nurses are in fact required to comfort their patients according to various medical professionals and according to the authors of their nursing books as well as encyclopedias and other materials on the subject of nursing. My hope is that nurses will read this book and see their need to be wiling to comfort their patients and do so after they see how important it is that they do this for their patients. I hope this book can bring about nurse reform and bring back comfort to the care of patients in all doctor's offices and hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. Please read this book and see the enlightening truth about comfort care in nursing.

Download or read book Touch written by Brian Gene Evans and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a shorter version of my first "To Nurse Means to Nurture" that I have written to put special emphasis on "touch" and how it applies to nurses. First, I ran into nurses that said, "It's not in my job description to comfort my patients" in the past 3 years. When I proved them wrong, they said, "Yes, but that does not include physical contact. No hugging and no touching. It's not in our job description." I wrote this book to show you that the direct opposite is true. You will see references to "touch" and "touch therapy" and "comfort" used several times over in various college textbooks of nursing, especially Fundamentals of Nursing 7th Edition, Potter and Perry, Mosby Elsevier, 2009 and my notes on nurse education videos I have seen with my own eyes that actually show female nurses in action "touching" both male and female middle aged patients who are not dying but just having procedures done by "rubbing their heads", "holding their hands", "patting their shoulders", and "rubbing their shoulders" to comfort them through needle sticks and procedures. St. Jude's Hospital Commercials also show their female nurses doing all of these same things for both their male and female kid patients as well as "hugging" them and "putting their arm around them" in addition to the hand holds, head rubs, and shoulder pats. They do it all. The Health Care Career Vision DVD from 2008 says, "Nurses need to be comfortable "touching" their patients if they are to work with them. Fundamentals of Nursing 7th Edition, Potter and Perry, Mosby Elsevier 2009 says this very same thing. It continually encourages touch and touch therapy and says that the "patient's needs take priority over the nurses' needs and the patient's needs are to be met above that of the nurses." It constantly tells them to comfort them and touch them as well as does 'Basic Psychophysiologic Nursing from 1979 and a few other sources. So, does the AARP magazine in an article about Dr. Meir trying to change the face of the medical community to make them more of a palliative care team and comfort their patients rather than treat them like objects, and the article from "The Power of Touch" from December 2015-January 2016s edition. I already had dictionary and encyclopedia references to nurses comforting their patients, and "to nurse means to nurture" in the dictionary. Because these nurses insist that comfort "does not" include physical contact, I have included dozens of comments on "Touch" and "Touch Therapy" from these sources and others. Other videos also showed nurses hugging patients and rubbing their heads and holding their hands. There are even a slew of pictures on the internet of Nursing Hugging their Patients when you type that in or comforting their patients if you type that in. It's not anything new. They've always done it, and what makes them think they haven't I don't know. You're not a bunch of professionals from a firm taking care of robots, you are nurses and you are the caretakers of those in your care and you are the "mother surrogates" of the patients in your care and you are to show them the same affection and attention as their own mother would as stated by Lisa Newton who defends the traditional role of the nurse. I hope this solves this dilemma of this "no touch" nursing philosophy everybody has and makes them see the light to the true meaning of nursing. Please read my book and be enlightened as to what the profession of nursing really entails. Thanks. Your friend, Brian Gene Evans

Download or read book To Nurse Means to Nurture Part Three written by Brian Evans and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-22 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a book I am using as an educational tool to get nurses to see how to deal with patients who have anxiety problems and autism. Anxiety patients with needle phobia need calmed as quickly as possible and comforted in a way that comforts them. They need reassured they will get the nurses they are comfortable with and they will meet all their needs. Sometimes these anxiety patients, especially ones with Autism may also fear what another nurse may think badly of something they said or asked or did that seemed odd to them in nature. They may not even be for sure whether they really offended their nurse or not but they fear they may have. When this happens reassure the patient as promptly as you possibly can as soon as you sense they are feeling this way or tell you they are feeling this way that everything is okay and you are not offended with them. if they really did offend you, try to remember the individuality of the patient before you misjudge them based on what other people would have thought if they said, asked, or did the same thing. In the case of an autistic individual what may seem mischevious in nature to you based on how the normal individual thinks may be innocent in nature coming from them. They mean absolutely no harm by this. If they did offend you it is usually completely unintentional because they probably didn't mean it the way you took it. Nurses need to remember, some autistic individuals, especially ones like myself are liable to say or ask or do things that are more typical of the behaviors of a child than an adult. This may not always be the case, but in many instances, if something sounds odd to you, especially coming from me as an autistic individual myself, the very thing I said might as well have come from a kid because I think just like a kid in a lot of ways. Chances are I probably said or asked something for the exact same reason a child would have said or asked the same thing. Nurses need to be willing to forgive their patients in this area and remember the patient's individuality and overlook these kinds of things. Patients need to be able to regress in childlike ways and have their childlike needs met and not looked down upon when they say or do something odd. There may be other autistics the same way, and when they feel like they've blown it with you they are going to fear punishment and rejection from you until you convince them otherwise and reassure them that everything is okay and you're not offended and everything will be the same as it always was and will always meet their needs for comfort in the same way you always have. You do this, and it will tremendously decrease their anxiety and help them to relax. When they do it will greatly improve their well being and you and them will both be happy. Please remember this when working with people that have anxiety problems associated with autism. Thank you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurturing Our Humanity offers a new perspective on our personal and social options in today's world, showing how we can build societies that support our great human capacities for consciousness, caring, and creativity. It brings together findings--largely overlooked--from the natural and social sciences debunking the popular idea that we are hard-wired for selfishness, war, rape, and greed. Its groundbreaking new approach reveals connections between disturbing trends like climate change denial and regressions to strongman rule. Moving past right vs. left, religious vs. secular, Eastern vs. Western, and other familiar categories that do not include our formative parent-child and gender relations, it looks at where societies fall on the partnership-domination scale. On one end is the domination system that ranks man over man, man over woman, race over race, and man over nature. On the other end is the more peaceful, egalitarian, gender-balanced, and sustainable partnership system. Nurturing Our Humanity explores how behaviors, values, and socio-economic institutions develop differently in these two environments, documents how this impacts nothing less than how our brains develop, examines cultures from this new perspective (including societies that for millennia oriented toward partnership), and proposes actions supporting the contemporary movement in this more life-sustaining and enhancing direction. It shows how through today's ever more fearful, frenzied, and greed-driven technologies of destruction and exploitation, the domination system may lead us to an evolutionary dead end. A more equitable and sustainable way of life is biologically possible and culturally attainable: we can change our course.

This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncovers the art and science of nursing grounded in caring for all nursing situations Grounded in the belief that caring is the central domain of nursing, this innovative book presents a new approach to "nursing situations." These are case studies depicting shared lived experiences between the nurse and patient that are studied from various theoretical perspectives. They are designed to foster a nursing student's ability to care effectively for a patient, family, or group. Each case study features a compelling scenario that engages the reader to feel and fully participate in the caring experience. The book presents a variety of situations that new and experienced nurses are likely to encounter, many of which present scenarios that require caring for a patient under difficult or complex circumstances. The book addresses the need, as defined by leading health care and nursing education organizations, for the study of nursing from a contextual, story-oriented perspective. It is based on the Barry, Gordon & King Teaching/Learning Nursing Framework, developed as a guide to uncover the art and science of nursing grounded in caring in all nursing situations. Following a description of the framework's foundational concepts, the text describes how to use nursing situations to facilitate learning. The scenarios offer detailed, practical strategies for analyzing nursing situations in ways that bring to life the simple and complex practice of nursing grounded in caring. These real-life stories also help students understand the impact of health conditions on individuals and families, thereby fostering empathy. Case studies address nursing situations across a variety of populations, health concerns, and practice settings. Using multiple ways of knowing and understanding, each scenario concludes with direct and reflective questions that help students develop nursing knowledge and skills. The book serves as a core resource for nurse educators and students at all levels seeking to study the art and science of nursing grounded in caring. Additionally, the book is a resource for in-service educators in health care systems that specifically address caring as an essential value for practice. KEY FEATURES: Delivers a new approach to nursing education focusing on the context of caring between nurse and patient Presents a collection of real-life nursing scenarios designed to foster caring knowledge and skills under all circumstances Offers detailed, practical strategies for analyzing nursing situations to aid in learning the practice of nursing grounded in caring Helps students to understand the impact of health conditions on individuals and families

Download or read book Nurturing the Whole Student written by Clifford Mayes and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurturing the Whole Student: Five Dimensions of Teaching and Learning begins with the assumption that education is at its best—healthiest, most engaging, and most effective—when it is holistic. By holistic , the authors mean that the various dimensions of the teacher and student are honored and nurtured throughout the education process. These dimensions are organic, psychodynamic, cultural, academic, and existential. Nurturing the Whole Student contends that any truly humane educational theory or practice must celebrate and cultivate these facets of the student-teacher relationship. In readily-accessible theoretical terms—as well as in practical suggestions for classroom application—the authors demonstrate how holistic education is an antidote to the standardized approaches to education that breed failure, alienation, and discouragement in the classroom. Systematically broken down into five thematic chapters, this teacher's guide will help any educator foster the five dimensions of teaching and learning.
