This book was released on 2017 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this dissertation was to determine if nurses' attitudes towards older people influence their decisions to activate or not activate rapid response teams and to explore how nurses describe care of the elderly patient. In Chapter I, a review of the literature indicated that the majority of patients in acute care hospitals are over age 65, and rapid response team activation rates are lower than desired leading to higher cardiac arrest rates and poor outcomes. Research suggests ageist attitudes are pervasive in healthcare settings resulting in substandard care for the elderly. No research to date has explored if ageist attitudes could be a factor in activation of rapid response teams. Questions not addressed in the literature include: How do nurses describe their experiences in caring for elderly patients?; How do nurses describe the impact of attitudes toward the elderly on decisions to activate or not activate RRT? To address these questions, a narrative analysis was conducted to better describe nurses' experiences in caring for elderly patients. Chapter II describes the common themes that emerged from nurses' experiences with older patients and rapid response teams. A primary theme of Older Patients: A Narrative of Social Interaction was evident in the narrative as nurses described how they favor older patients who can tell stories from the past. A hesitancy to act and call rapid response team for a declining patient is discussed under the theme, A Second Set of Eyes. Clinical judgment and how nurses' describe their own and peer's decisions to activate or not activate rapid response team is delineated by the theme, Clinical Judgement and Novice Nurses . The narratives illustrate new knowledge about activating RRT for older patients and reinforces some known barriers. Chapter III describes how the Synergy Model can be used as a systematic framework for analyzing individual clinical scenarios and describe the patient in a continuum from highly stable to minimally stable.
Download or read book Beyond Elder Law written by Israel Doron and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-28 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All over the world, there is a growing interest in the relationship between law and aging: How does the law influence the lives of older people? Can rights, advocacy and representation advance the social position of the aged and combat ageism? What are the new and cutting-edge frontiers in the field of elder law? Should there be a new international human rights convention in this field? These are only a few of the many questions that arise. This book attempts to answer some of these questions and to set the agenda for the future development of elder law across the globe. Taking into account existing research and knowledge, leading scholars from different continents (North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia) present in this book original and novel ideas regarding the future development of elder law. These ideas touch upon key topics such as elder guardianship, citizenship, mental capacity, elder abuse, human rights and international law, family relationships, age discrimination, and the right to die. This book can thus serve as an important reference work for all those interested in understanding where law and aging are headed, and for those concerned about the future legal rights of older persons.

Book excerpt: Acute Care for Elders (ACE) is a model of care designed to improve functional outcomes and to improve the processes for the care of older patients. This model includes: an environment of care designed to promote improved function for older patients; an interdisciplinary team that works together to identify/address the vulnerabilities of the older patients; nursing care plans for prevention of disability; early planning to help prepare the patient to return home and a review of medical care to prevent iatrogenic illness. Acute Care for Elders: A Model for Interdisciplinary Care is an essential new resource aimed at assisting providers in developing and sustaining an ACE program. The interdisciplinary approach provides an introduction to the key vulnerabilities of older adults and defines the lessons learned from the Acute Care for Elders model. Expertly written chapters describe critical aspects of ACE: the interdisciplinary approach and the focus on function. The fundamental principles of ACE described in this book will further assist hospital leaders to develop, implement, sustain and disseminate the Acute Care for Elders model of care. Acute Care for Elders: A Model for Interdisciplinary Care is of great value to geriatricians, hospitalists, advance practice nurses, social workers and all others who provide high quality care to older patients.
