How relationship-centered care can improve both patient adherence and compliance. Defines the term and its evolvement in recent years. Discusses various theories of interaction within a health care situation.
From the Paper
"This research examines the relevance and importance of relationship-centered care to the work of nurse practitioners. The research will set forth a working definition of the term, in the context of emerging health-care-delivery praxis, and then discuss ways in which relationship-centered care can be used as the primary blueprint and guide for fostering improved patient adherence/compliance.
The term relationship-centered care has evolved in recent years to describe a modality of health-care-delivery protocols that focus on the psychological and social as well as medical needs, wants, concerns, and priorities of patients and their families rather than structuring health-care delivery around the priorities of the physician in charge of a case. Also called patient-centered care, in recent years the term of preference for the ..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces the family centered patient care model and describes its impact on health care delivery today. The writer notes that the Institute of Family-Centered Care, a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to research, education, policy change, and program development defined the model that is used currently. The writer points out that the family centered patient care approach is based on several principles such as seeing the patient as a whole, instead of just a disease or possible disease. The writer maintains that viewing a patient in a holistic manner allows a health care provider to observe a patient's external support group, such as their family and community environments.
Outline:
Introduction to Family Centered Patient Care
Historical Developments of Family Centered Patient Care
Case Study of Family Centered Care
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Through researching this paper, a case study was discovered that truly mirrored the concept of Family Centered Patient Care. A mother of a son with multiple complex problems; such as Down's Syndrome, autism, pulmonary hypertension, frequent pneumonias, avascular necrosis of the left femoral head, and multiple other conditions. This was the patient's first time to this particular facility and was presenting with an infected central line. The facility had incorporated the Family Centered Patient Care model to their healthcare delivery and added a personnel resource, a pediatric nurse practitioner that followed the child's case from beginning to end. The nurse began the relationship with the mother and included her in every decision that was made. When the mother and the nurse collaborated on antibiotic therapy, was discovered that the mother had not had relief from being the main care giver in three years. The treatment options considered were a home antibiotic therapy or the child could stay in the hospital until the end of the antibiotic therapy. The nurse practitioner was able to get authorization from the insurance company to allow the child to remain inpatient for the antibiotic therapy and the mother was able to take a much need vacation without worrying about her child. By working with the mother, the nurse was able to abstract information regarding the outcomes of previous treatment plans and discovered that the child had a failed home treatment course of antibiotics and was able to justify the respite care."

From the Paper
The purpose of this research report is to identify family centered care practice and principles with special emphasis upon nursing interventions in the surgical perioperative care setting in a large urban medical surgical unit. According to Wright and Leahey, a significant part of nursing history is that the involvement of families has always been integrally to nursing practice; but, in recent years, nursing has begun to focus upon identifying via empirically grounded research the basic systems that should be used in caring ..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the question over who should care for children is once again being debated throughout North America, with many advocating that very young children be raised with either their mothers or a close member of the family instead of attending child care centers. The writer discusses research indicating that the poor quality of care given in existing centers throughout the United States is the reason for problems within the classroom, as children who attend these care centers are believed to have both development and social problems. The writer concludes that the important point of the debate over child care should be how to ensure quality care for children whose parents have to work, or have chosen to work, through understanding and enabling effective and positive child development and growth within center-based childcare.

Introduction
An Overview of Child Care in the United States
Contemporary Childcare in the United States
Towards an Effective Child Care System
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The changes in society over the past few decades have completely transformed the contemporary world, mainly through the consequences of warfare and the recent advancements in technology, which has also changed the lives of women. Accounting for almost half of the nation's workforce, a vast majority of them either are already mothers or will be, which means that something needs to be done about the childcare situation in America. Although center-based childcare is not, perhaps, the ideal situation for mothers and their children, most parents have little choice."

Asthma and Client-Centered Care, 2008.
This paper discusses the relationship of the nurse and the asthmatic patient as required in client-centered care.
1,355 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, from the standpoint of the author who is an asthmatic, the very first nursing action when dealing with someone suffering from an asthma attack should involve empathy for the patient. The author points out that the nurse's goals for asthma management are the prevention or reduction of attacks, patient education, maintaining normal activity levels for the patient and improving quality of life. The paper relates that, because asthma is a chronic illness, self-care, in which the patient decides the degree and quality of participation in her care, is a very important element in asthma management. The author states that nurses tend to error by seeing the individual as a passive patient and by agreeing only to the idea of self-management if it is a matter of collaboration with the nurse. The paper stresses that the most effective form of self-management is self-agency, which often includes activities with which nurses do not agree such as adjusting drug dosage.
From the Paper
"Wilson and Kendall (2006) found from their own study that nurses felt very uncomfortable with the idea of clients as experts for their own lives. The general interpretation by nurses of this concept was that patients think they know better than the nurse. Even though nurses no longer view themselves as expert, many of them feel that patients with asthma are too influenced by the information they receive from the Internet (Wilson & Kendall, 2006). It was mentioned to me that I thought I knew it all. Many nurses are also fearful that if they agree to let the patient be expert, then they will be accountable for the patient's actions and will be liable to lawsuits."

Abstract
This paper presents, as a case study, a dialogue that represents a meaningful interaction between a nurse and a client. Following the presentation of the dialogue, the paper analyzes and critiques the communication flow between the nurse and the client. It also briefly discusses the importance of effective communication between nurses and clients.
Table of Contents:
Dialogue 1
Analysis/Critique of Participation in Dialogue 1
From the Paper
"The dialogue ended with an appropriate compliment about the client's very impressive attitude and approach to life. The final comment from the nurse concerned whether there might be any further issues or concerns to be discussed. That comment, like the beginning of the dialogue, was in the form of an open-ended question. Mrs. B's outlook was remarkable since the basic issue involved the unknown and waiting. As Bournes and Mitchell (2002, p. 59) state, "health is the way people go on and live what is important to them, moment to moment and day to day". By my being present to Mrs. B., I feel that she gained from me; I learned fro her own approach to life."

Licensing and Accreditation: Adventist Care Center, 2006.
A review of the Adventist Care Center in Orange County, Florida.

Abstract
This paper examines the licensing and accreditation of a health care facility, specifically a nursing home, in the state of Florida. In particular the paper looks at Adventist Care Center in Orange County, Florida and explores which local state and federal agencies regulate it and ensure that it is upholding its solemn responsibility to provide top flight healthcare for elderly residents.
From the Paper
"The reason for the choice of Adventist Care Center is that Adventist appears to have a number of nursing homes throughout Florida and therefore it is interesting to see how the state and local counties treat a large and apparently growing nursing home franchise in a part of the country that is aging rapidly and already features a high median age. In any case, the paucity of available information is startling in some respects, but every effort will be made to track down those agencies at the local level which ultimately determine which facilities are appropriate for their vital task - and which ones are not."

" EFFECTS OF DAY CARE CENTERS ON YOUNG CHILDREN
Introduction
What are the effects of day care centers on young children and what variables moderate these effects? The purpose of the review of literature presented here is to provide an answer to this question.
General Effects of Day Care
In a comprehensive review of the literature on the effects of day care on young children, Sale (1998) noted that most of the research conducted on day care centers was relatively negative indicating that, at least for young school age children, the effects were about the same as for self-care conditions. However, it was observed that over the years, day care centers improved greatly, expanding services to include appropriate educational.."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to discuss the effect of day care centers on the social and emotional development of children. The paper will also consider how the influence of day care centers differs for infants up to the age of two and for children between the age of two and five.
The day care center is an important place for the social development of children because it is where children who attend them spend a large part of their day. The day care center is also where the child first interacts with other children and adults who are not immediate members of the family. The social skills learned during day care will have an effect on the child for the rest of his or her life. Many people are aware of the importance of the development of social skills in children beyond the age of two. However, researchers have discovered that social (...)"
