One of the key elements to organizational design is the establishment of an organization chart. Consequently, the organizational chart establishes the chain of command. Why is the chain of command so important in healthcare?

Nursing faculty is responsible for creating an environment that is conducive to learning and accommodates the multiple learning styles and abilities of students. As a nurse educator, how might you design learning experiences for class and clinical environments to promote positive and effective learning for all students? Do you think students should use their preferred learning styles and perhaps risk becoming rigid and unable to learn in different ways (should a situation demand a different learning style)? Or should educators encourage students to be open to different methods of learning, moving them away from their comfort zones?

Question 4 Jerry is the area co-ordinator for a State-wide community services program. Jerry has been in the job for five years now and knows the ins and outs of the program well. His job requires him to travel to each of the service delivery centres throughout the State to provide training and support to staff. Because of his experience in the program he is often called to provide advice of how to deal with various crisis situations. He is always busy and frequently stressed. There never seems to be enough time to get things done. He has paperwork everywhere – usually before each trip he throws all the relevant files in the back of the car but frequently gets to his location finding he has the wrong files. He does his paperwork in the evenings in his hotel room – there isn’t time during the day – he is too busy talking with staff, doing training, sorting out issues and dealing with phone calls. Sometimes he is so tired he doesn’t get his notes written up in the evenings – then he has to do it when he gets home several days later – sometimes he can’t even remember then what the issues are. Once he even turned up at the wrong centre! He was meant to be in Heathcote but he ended up in Northcote! His job seems to be out of control – he used to love it and he knows that he is well respected for his knowledge and experience – but he is not sure how long he will be able to keep this up.
a)What are some time management and other organisational strategiesthat Jerry could use to manage his work time better?(Suggest at least five)
Question 4 b
One of the disadvantages of life “on the road” is that Jerry does
not tend to get much exercise (he is seldom home so he let his gym
membership expire) and he eats a lot of takeaway food. He knows
this isn’t very good for him but he is far too busy to exercise and
cook for himself!
b)What impact could this lifestyle have on Jerry’s physical health?
(List at least five health impacts).
Question 4c
Jerry doesn’t have a very good work/life balance. He is either
travelling around the State or if he is at home he is bored and
lonely. His marriage split up a year ago (because his wife said he
was never home) and his daughter doesn’t seem to want to see him
(she is a teenager now and seems to have a life of her own).
c)What could Jerry do to improve his work/life balance (Suggest
five things).

Mr. Aburu, 81, with a history of cerebral vascular accidents, was hospitalized as an outpatient for a surgical procedure to incise and drain a skin lesion on his chest. After the procedure, he returned to the long term care facility with sterile packing in the partially sutured incision site. The packing was to remain for 3 days, then removed, and the wound covered with a dry dressing. The risk of complications for this type of surgery was considered quite low, and both the nursing home administrator and the attending surgeon saw no reason why the patient could not be adequately cared for in the nursing home immediately after surgery.
Approximately 5 hours after Mr. Aburu returned to the nursing home, blood was observed at the incision site. He was transferred back to the acute care hospital, where he died the following day. Evidence at the trial showed that for the 5 hours that Mr. Aburu was at the nursing home, several licensed and unlicensed personnel attended to him. At lunch time, two aides escorted Mr. Aburu to the dining room; lunch was about 3 hours after his return to the nursing home. None of the personnel examined his dressing until an aide noticed that he was bleeding through his bed sheets. Shortly after discovering the bleeding, the patient was transferred by ambulance to the hospital. His family has filed a lawsuit for the wrongful death of their father, alleging that the care given to the patient after surgery fell below the acceptable standards of care.
What should the standards of care be for such patient?
Even though the nursing care plan did not specify that the wound should be checked hourly, how should the prudent nurse have acted?
Should the lawsuit center primarily on the surgeon for allowing this patient to be sent back to the nursing home for post-operative care rather than insisting he be kept for 24 hours in an acute care facility post-operatively?
How would you decide this case?
