Mrs. Snyder was on chemotherapy which negatively affected her health as she felt physical pain (Khanlarkhani et al., 2021). Due to all these issues, she is under so much stress and depression. She is also a housewife and always cares for her family and does not want to burden the family. As Mrs. Snyder has strong cultural and religious beliefs, she wants to move to another institution that respects cultural differences and gives her the freedom to practice her beliefs.
Inter-professional Care Team
Slide 7: Every medical procedure involves excellent coordination and communication with which the audience’s needs can be evaluated and controlled easily. The inter-professional team that will treat Mrs. Snyder is made up of thyroid doctors, heart specialists, cancer specialists, and nurses because she has several medical issues. With this, it will be ensured that all treatment guidelines are followed precisely and correctly. The nurse’s duty in Mrs. Snyder’s case analysis involved referring patients to other healthcare sectors for discussion and treatment from specialists. Nurses can assist the patient by modifying her vital signs’ therapy and medication doses. For example, the medical expert advised Mrs. Snyder to transfer to a health institution rather than stay in her home because she would receive greater care and treatment there (Ansa et al., 2020).
Factors Affecting Patient Outcomes
Slide 8: Patient care can be affected by various factors, including economic, bad lifestyle, poor social circle, and surroundings (Chung et al., 2020).
Assumption
The underlying assumption is that Mrs. Snyder practices Judaism and thus needs kosher food, so it is essential to consider her dietary restrictions while treating her. Additionally, her family condition is not stable. Her family is facing economic stress, and her son is an addict. Therefore, it is essential to ensure the patient does not feel insecure and overstressed in the limited facilities. This can be achieved by monitoring the patient frequently and encouraging her relatives to visit often.
Slide 9: (cont.)
Areas of Uncertainties
There will always be some degree of ambiguity and so, nurses should have all the necessary training to assist a patient in Mrs. Snyder’s situation who is critically sick (Chung et al., 2020).
Determination of Required Resources
Slide 10: Several resources will be required to care for Mrs. Snyder effectively (Howell et al., 2020). The following are some of the resources:
Moreover, to provide the best quality of care to Mrs. Snyder, the organization must have all the equipment needed for the treatment (Howell et al., 2020).
Conclusion
Slide 11: Mrs. Snyder suffers from various health issues like cancer, diabetes, and stress. To overcome these issues, she needs to be transferred from one healthcare center to another where she gets satisfied. A transitional care plan is necessary to transfer patients from one organization to another (Daliri et al., 2019). It is also important to provide the best quality treatment to the patients by respecting their religious and cultural beliefs. With strategic initiatives, patient quality of care can be enhanced, and the mortality rate will be reduced. As I mentioned in my presentation, every patient needs transitional care and the associated initiatives. Thus, as healthcare providers, we must see that our patients’ requirements are addressed.
