Down’s syndrome

/in /by

Mrs. Giovanni is a 92-year-old widowed immigrant from Italy. She is the caregiver of her youngest child, Antonio, who is 47 years old and has Down’s syndrome and lives with her in her home.

Mrs. Giovanni has support once weekly to support her with bathing. Mrs. Giovanni greets you at the door. She is not as bright or cheerful as she usually is. I can see the frown on her face. I look over to find the kitchen looking messy which is unusual for her. She tells you ‘ I haven’t been getting much sleep lately because Antonio has been up all night playing games on that machine and making lots of noise when he is snacking in the kitchen at night”. She continues in a worried voice that “I don’t know what to do with him, he won’t go to the day program because he sleeps all day. I am exhausted, I don’t know how much longer I can go on like this.

As you walk into the bathroom, you ask your usual questions about her garden and her plans for cooking that day. Her answer surprises you when she says, “I just don’t have the energy to do anything, all i can think about is what I am going to do with my boy Antonio.” While she is sitting on the side of the tub removing her stockings you notice Mrs. Giovanni becoming teary.

 

Provide a report to the supervisor using the SBAR tool.

List 3 members of the interprofessional team(not including the support workers) that would support the client. Describe the relations for including each team member directly related to the client’s care.

Give me an answer in detail.

Use of immunizations to prevent disease

/in /by

Who should pay the cost of healthcare for preventable illnesses? This is a hot topic of debate in healthcare today. Preventable illnesses include the following:

  • Smoking cigarettes and its link to cancer
  • Obesity and its Association with Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes
  • Use of immunizations to prevent disease or reduce the likelihood of serious infection or hospitalization

There have been increases in vaccine-preventable illnesses in recent years. These illnesses include measles, chickenpox, HPV, influenza, and now COVID-19.

Insurance companies did not charge patients for out-of-pocket costs for COVID-19 during the early days of the pandemic. It is estimated that “some 88% of people with insurance coverage would have paid nothing if hospitalized” (Hart, 2021). That may change. Vaccines are now available, free, and proven effective at preventing serious illness and hospitalization. Many insurance companies are shifting the cost of COVID-19 treatment back to the patient (Hart, 2021).

Review the health and economic costs of chronic diseases in this article.

Watch this short video on the cost of being unvaccinated for COVID patients, and take a stance in the debate.

Consider the following in your response:

  • Who do you think should pay for the cost of treatment associated with a preventable disease?
  • What specific examples support your choice?
