Part B: In her early attempts at building community, Vitale Aussem tried to involve residents in her decision making by asking for input on a problem she was facing. She would gather their thoughts, make the decision, and report back to them. While this may be a good first step, Vitale Aussem realized that it wasn’t enough. Input is not the same as influence. Having influence is having the power to make your own decisions. Vitale Aussem admits to having been so stuck in her service provider mentality that she had to fight the urge to own every problem. One day, however, the need to change became crystal clear. Here’s the scenario…. Imagine what you would do.

As director of a senior living residence you begin hearing a lot of complaints about the fairly large population of dogs living at the residence. When one of the residents come to you to complain about her neighbor’s barking dog, you tell the resident that you will handle the problem. You invite the offending dog’s owner to come to your office to talk about the issue. The dog owner walks in, head hanging, and says she feels like she has been called to the principal’s office. You suddenly realize that in your community (as in most communities), your residents have been relegated to a subservient/submissive position relative to the often much younger director who runs the community.

  1. How would you handle a complaint voiced by one or more of your residents? How could you promote the residents taking ownership of the problem and have influence over actions to be taken?

Mr. Will, a 67-year-old patient, is postoperative day 2 after a coronary artery bypass graft operation to revascularize his coronary arteries that were significantly blocked. He has a midline incision of his chest and a 7-inch incision on the inner aspect of his right thigh where a saphenous vein graft was harvested and used to vascularize the blocked coronary artery. The surgeon ordered Oxycodone 5 mg every 4 hours PRN for moderate pain and Oxycodone 10 mg every 4 hours PRN for severe pain. Considering the patient’s age, what medication administration considerations should the nurse incorporate into the pain management plan and why?
