Question

Joseph Schmidt is a registered nurse who works for the public health system. Once a week he is assigned to a charity clinic operated by the Catholic Church. The clinic is staffed by a volunteer physician from the local medical center, a dental provider, and a registered nurse. In addition, volunteers consist of physical therapists, nursing students, pre-medicine students, and interpreters. The clinic provides free medical and dental services to the poor and homeless of the community. The only qualification to obtain care is that the patient does not have medical insurance and does not qualify for public assistance. Mr. Schmidt is treating a 52-year-old man for a possible eye infection. While the patient is at the clinic, Mr. Schmidt also requests a dental evaluation and educates the patient about diet and exercise, smoking and alcohol cessation counseling, and the importance of follow-up for influenza immunization at a future clinic.

Answer 1

1.Mr. Schmidt approach the patient in a systematic way that was person-centred approach he met the needs of the patient and he suggest dental evaluation too. Not only he cared him but also he advised exercise and smoking cessation for his better health. Person centre approach is always much better than any other approach because it focus on person's needs, desires, and goals so it will become central to the care and nursing process.

2.for every procedure nurse should explain to the patient what will go to do and what is the outcome. So culturally and linguistic explanation needed the patient. In partnering with the vulnerable clients

Create a partnership with the cliebtthrough careful assessment is better for better care.

While home visiting whose home is not clean and while he offer food to me I'll said no thanks and say will stand. And definitely I'll advice him about healthy lifestyle and importance of cleaning.
