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.

| case study of nursing: Unfolding Health Assessment Case Studies for the Student Nurse, Second Edition Kristi Maynard, Andrea Adimando, 2024-04-10 “This is an extraordinary and contemporary learning resource for all nursing students and faculty.” –Jeffery Ramirez, PhD, PMHNP-BC, CNE, FNAP, FAANP, FAAN Director of Graduate Nursing Programs and Professor Gonzaga University, School of Health Sciences “The ease of reading the 16 chapters cannot be overemphasized. This notable book will amplify essential ‘knowing’ for the newest to enter our profession. Quite simply, this little gem delivers!” –Linda Honan, PhD, CNS-BC, FAAN, ANEF Professor Emerita, Yale University School of Nursing Critical thinking can be the difference between keeping patients safe and putting them in harm’s way. But as a student nurse, you may find that mastering these skills is challenging, and you may lack confidence in assessing a patient’s health. Case studies are a common, beneficial learning approach. Traditionally, they present information upfront, with the patient’s status predetermined. But that isn’t realistic, as a patient’s health can often take an unexpected turn. Unfolding case studies provide new information over time, teaching you to think critically and apply what you’ve learned in nursing school to real-life situations you’ll face on the job. Authors Kristi Maynard and Andrea Adimando created Unfolding Health Assessment Case Studies for the Student Nurse for pre-licensure students who needs to review what they’ve learned earlier and practicing nurses who can apply these concepts to more complex scenarios. This book will: · Enhance students knowledge and skills in basic health assessment · Increase readers comfort level in analyzing patient scenarios · Provide opportunities to practice and apply what students learned in health assessment courses · Develop confidence in answering NCLEX questions TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1: Introduction to the Unfolding Case Study Chapter 2: Introduction to the Nursing Process Chapter 3: Answering NCLEX-Style Questions Chapter 4: An Introduction to Approaching the Patient Interview Chapter 5: Vital Sign Assessment Chapter 6: Assessing Mental Status Chapter 7: Assessment Considerations for the Geriatric Patient Chapter 8: Assessment Considerations for the Pediatric Patient Chapter 9: Neurological Anomalies Chapter 10: Cardiovascular and Vascular Anomalies Chapter 11: Respiratory Anomalies Chapter 12: Gastroenterological Anomalies Chapter 13: Genitourinary and Sexual Health Chapter 14: Dermatological Anomalies Chapter 15: Head and Neck Anomalies Chapter 16: Assessment of the Transgender Patient Appendix A: Practice Test Appendix B: NextGen Questions |
| case study of nursing: THINK Like a Nurse! Keith A. Rischer, 2013-09-03 About: To prepare you for real world practice, this book will highlight content areas most relevant to the bedside and why they must be mastered and understood. To help visualize the professional development that is needed as you transition to the responsibilities of the professional nurse, I use the metaphor of building a house; not a static structure, but a unique, vibrant living house that is a reflection of how you choose to build and add to it over time. Nursing is a living and vibrant practice that requires your personal involvement and engagement to promote the well-being of those you care for. The components of this living home include: Foundation: A house must have a firm and stable foundation. The ethical comportment or the art of nursing is this foundation for every nurse. Caring behaviors, nurse engagement, and professionalism in practice must be present or your nursing practice could be on shaky ground before it even begins! Walls: The applied sciences of nursing: pharmacology, fluid and electrolytes, and anatomy and physiology. I contextualize these sciences to the bedside so the relevance of mastering this content becomes apparent. Roof: Critical thinking and clinical reasoning, which is the thinking that is required by the nurse that completes the house and ties everything together. Skeletons in the closet: Every house has closets and some have a few skeletons in them! Incivility and men in nursing will be explored in detail! |

| case study of nursing: Millions Saved Amanda Glassman, Miriam Temin, 2016-05-24 Over the past fifteen years, people in low- and middle-income countries have experienced a health revolution—one that has created new opportunities and brought new challenges. It is a revolution that keeps mothers and babies alive, helps children grow, and enables adults to thrive. Millions Saved: New Cases of Proven Success in Global Health chronicles the global health revolution from the ground up, showcasing twenty-two local, national, and regional health programs that have been part of this global change. The book profiles eighteen remarkable cases in which large-scale efforts to improve health in low- and middle-income countries succeeded, and four examples of promising interventions that fell short of their health targets when scaled-up in real world conditions. Each case demonstrates how much effort—and sometimes luck—is required to fight illness and sustain good health. The cases are grouped into four main categories, reflecting the diversity of strategies to improve population health in low-and middle-income countries: rolling out medicines and technologies; expanding access to health services; targeting cash transfers to improve health; and promoting population-wide behavior change to decrease risk. The programs covered also come from various regions around the world: seven from sub-Saharan Africa, six from Latin America and the Caribbean, five from East and Southeast Asia, and four from South Asia. |
