In 1958, Ida Jean Orlando started the nursing process that still guides nursing care today. Defined as a systematic approach to care using the fundamental principles of critical thinking, client-centered approaches to treatment, goal-oriented tasks, evidence-based practice (EDP) recommendations, and nursing intuition. Holistic and scientific postulates are integrated to provide the basis for compassionate, quality-based care.[1][2][3]
The nursing process functions as a systematic guide to client-centered care with 5 sequential steps. These are assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
Assessment is the first step and involves critical thinking skills and data collection; subjective and objective. Subjective data involves verbal statements from the patient or caregiver. Objective data is measurable, tangible data such as vital signs, intake and output, and height and weight.
Data may come from the patient directly or from primary caregivers who may or may not be direct relation family members. Friends can play a role in data collection. Electronic health records may populate data in and assist in assessment.
Critical thinking skills are essential to assessment, thus the need for concept-based curriculum changes.
The formulation of a nursing diagnosis by employing clinical judgment assists in the planning and implementation of patient care.
The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) provides nurses with an up to date list of nursing diagnoses. A nursing diagnosis, according to NANDA, is defined as a clinical judgment about responses to actual or potential health problems on the part of the patient, family or community.
A nursing diagnosis encompasses Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and helps to prioritize and plan care based on patient-centered outcomes. In 1943, Abraham Maslow developed a hierarchy based on basic fundamental needs innate for all individuals. Basic physiological needs/goals must be met before higher needs/goals can be achieved such as self-esteem and self-actualization. Physiological and safety needs provide the basis for the implementation of nursing care and nursing interventions. Thus, they are at the base of Maslow's pyramid, laying the foundation for physical and emotional health.[4][5]
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
The planning stage is where goals and outcomes are formulated that directly impact patient care based on EDP guidelines. These patient-specific goals and the attainment of such assist in ensuring a positive outcome. Nursing care plans are essential in this phase of goal setting. Care plans provide a course of direction for personalized care tailored to an individual's unique needs. Overall condition and comorbid conditions play a role in the construction of a care plan. Care plans enhance communication, documentation, reimbursement, and continuity of care across the healthcare continuum.
Goals should be:
Implementation is the step which involves action or doing and the actual carrying out of nursing interventions outlined in the plan of care. This phase requires nursing interventions such as applying a cardiac monitor or oxygen, direct or indirect care, medication administration, standard treatment protocols and EDP standards.
This final step of the nursing process is vital to a positive patient outcome. Whenever a healthcare provider intervenes or implements care, they must reassess or evaluate to ensure the desired outcome has been met. Reassessment may frequently be needed depending upon overall patient condition. The plan of care may be adapted based on new assessment data.
According to a 2011 study conducted in Mekelle Zone hospitals, nurses lack the knowledge to implement the nursing process into practice and factors such as nurse-patient ratios inhibit from doing so. Ninety percent of study participants lacked sufficient experience to apply the nursing process into standard practice. The study also concluded that a shortage of available resources, coupled with increased workloads due to high patient-nurse ratios, contributed to the lack of the nursing process implementation in the delivery of patient care.[6][7][8]
The utilization of the nursing process to guide care is clinically significant going forward in this dynamic, complex world of patient care. Aging populations carry with them a multitude of health problems and inherent risks of missed opportunities to spot a life-altering condition.
As explored by Salmond and Echevarria, healthcare is changing, and the traditional roles of nurses are transforming to meet the demands of this new healthcare environment. Nurses are in a position to promote change and impact patient delivery care models in the future.[9][10]
Critical thinking skills will play a vital role as we develop plans of care for these patient populations with multiple comorbidities and embrace this challenging healthcare arena. Thus, the trend towards concept-based curriculum changes will assist us in the navigation of these uncharted waters.
Concept-Based Curriculum
Baron further explores this need for a concept-based curriculum as opposed to the traditional educational model and the challenges faced with its implementation. A direct impact on quality patient care and positive outcomes. Nursing practice and educational environments form a bond with clinical knowledge and expertise, and that bond facilitates the transition into the current workforce as an indispensable team player and leader in this new wave of healthcare.
Learning should be the focus and the integration into current practice. Learning is a dynamic process, propelled by a force that must coexist within the same learning milieu between educator and student, preceptor and novice, mentor, and trainee.
IN the future, nurses must be able to problem solve in a multitude of situations and conditions to meet these new adversities: challenging nurse-patient ratios, multifaceted approaches to prioritization of care, fewer resources, navigation of the electronic health record as well as functionality within the team dynamic and leadership style.

A dog is more than a cute bundle of energy that needs food and petting. Make sure that you give your dog a lot of love. Where can you find out knowledge of how best to interact with your dog? The following article contains helpful advice you can use when owning a dog.
Keep in mind that dogs are expensive. Good quality dog food and medical care can cost between $700-1000 a year. Also, should an emergency arise, this can cost thousands so you might consider pet health insurance.
Make your home doggie-proof. Don't take a dog into your home without being sure that it is safe from top to bottom. Make sure anything toxic is put up. Many common household plants are poisonous, so keep them away from your dog or get rid of them.
If you have medication for you or a family member, be certain your dog cannot reach it. Dogs can have very negative side effects from even small amounts of medications intended for humans. If this does happen, call your vet immediately.
Anti-flea products are dangerous. Many contain ingredients that are dangerous to children. Talk to your vet about safer options, especially when there are kids around.
Do not fall prey to the temptation to feed table scraps to your dog. If you feed from the table, he'll become a beggar and stop eating his own food. Overfeeding him will lead to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, too. Keep the dog away from your table when you eat to avoid any temptation on both parts.
When training a dog, practice in the yard or your home. You should avoid training in heavily populated areas. This will make it more difficult for your dog to pay attention.
Always have your dog on a leash when he's off your property. Dogs are easily distracted by other animals, cars, and kids, so always make sure to keep your dog on a leash for his own safety. You are solely responsible for the dog's actions and for the dog's safety as well.
If you have an outdoor pet, build a shelter for him or buy one that is ready to use. If his feet are wet during very cold weather, it will stress him and lead to health problems. Protect them from precipitation and wind by providing them a dry and spacious shelter.
Do not overlook your dog's bad behavior. If you ignore it, it will be hard to contain it later. Bad behaviors that are left uncontrolled can result in human injuries to you, your child, your friend or your neighbor. This is why it's important to nip them in the bud immediately!
If you're going to adopt a new dog from an animal shelter, you need to get a vet appointment scheduled as soon as possible. Shelter dogs may have come into contact with viruses or may be ill already. You need to ensure your dog gets their shots.
Make sure that you're giving your dog enough exercise. Dogs need consistent physical activity to ensure they are physically and mentally fit. No matter what, whether throwing their ball or taking a long walk, you'll both benefit from it. It will help you form a much stronger relationship.
You can always choose to foster a dog for a few weeks if you're not sure about making the full commitment of dog ownership. Shelters for abused or homeless dogs are often looking for temporary homes, called foster homes, where dogs can live until they are adopted out to a permanent home. Fostering will help you become adapted to the life of a pet owner, and you will be making a difference in the life of a dog at the same time!
You will become a much better dog owner if you take the time to learn more about him. As a result, you will achieve an excellent friend for years to come. Wouldn't you want a good and knowledgeable owner if you were a dog?

G.R.L. Head to Jail in New Video 'Ugly Heart'
Lock 'em up! The girls of G.R.L. are taken away in handcuffs in their new music video for 'Ugly Heart.'
The multinational girl band released the video for their new single today (July 1), and it's a bad one — bad as in the girls must have acted out pretty badly to be taken in by the police. They're dressed in wild outfits that certainly suggest something crazy happened the night before.
The five girls ride along in cop cars to the police station, where they dance on tables singing about a pretty boy with an ugly heart. They serve serious attitude as they drag the boy in the song's catchy chorus.
In an exclusive interview with PopCrush, member Paula had some info to share on what inspired their latest single: "All of our songs are very empowering to women. Obviously, the story is about breaking up with a guy who you thought was so beautiful on the outside and then really getting to know him and seeing an ugly side to him, hence 'Ugly Heart.' What inspired it was giving that message of strength and confidence and being a good person, inside and out. Not just having the exterior surface be all that you are."
At the end of the video, G.R.L. reveal what they did to get back at the ugly-hearted guy and earn themselves their time in handcuffs, but we'll leave that as surprise. Check out the video for 'Ugly Heart' up above to find out!

Diabetes, also referred to as Diabetes Mellitus (DM), affects a pet's ability to properly use or produce insulin; their body stops producing insulin altogether or cannot produce the quantity necessary. With diabetes, a pet's body also inhibits organs and muscles from converting sugars into energy, creating a condition known as hyperglycemia – an excess of glucose in the bloodstream.
Female, obese, and elderly canines run a much higher risk of obtaining diabetes, whereas male felines have twice the risk as female cats. While the cause of each individual pet's case is difficult to determine, genetics and obesity are believed to be the top two risk factors.
Symptoms that may indicate diabetes:
Treatment for diabetes
If we suspect that a patient may have diabetes, we usually perform a blood count, chemical profile, and urinalysis as standard tests to diagnose diabetes. Once a positive diagnosis is made, our veterinarian will discuss a custom treatment plan with you. Disease management differs for every pet depending upon their current health status and activity level. Most every pet can benefit from exercise, especially a diabetic animal. Daily exercise lowers insulin demand and is usually included in a treatment plan.
Nutrition is also an important aspect of care. We commonly enforce a strict nutritional diet alongside owner-administered insulin. You will receive proper instruction about correct dosages and timing prior to administering the insulin on your own. Keeping the amount of calories your pet eats consistent is critical, because insulin dosages are calculated upon that determinant. Diabetic pets perform best with regularly scheduled meals, and insulin dosages should be given at the same time every day. Diabetes is incurable, but the sooner a pet is examined and diagnosed, the sooner the disease can be managed; and the better the pet's outlook is.
Please contact our veterinary office if you suspect that your pet might be suffering from diabetes.
Here's a vet that still cares.
Just wanted to say I love Dr. Petcu's staff and his compassionate , caring way of taking care of my dogs.The staff is not only friendly and professional ,they know who you are when you arrive ,and they actually love animals. Is the first Animal Hospital that my dogs are at ease and feel comfortable.The place is very clean and the reception area very elegant and inviting. Exquisite services and Dr. Petcu always take his time to explain the disease and options and still finds time to play with my dogs. He's always treated both his animal and human patients with compassion and dignity,and would never recommend procedures unless he truly feels your pet will benefit from it. One of the vets that cares for your pet. The prices are reasonable and the services exceed all expectations. I Highly recommend Dr.Petcu and his hospital.
Reba S
hands down -THE BEST ANIMAL HOSPITAL.
Western Animal Hospital AMAZING! Western Animal Hospital is the best place in the valley .The staff is professional, friendly, caring and accommodating. The hospital is very clean and upscale. The customer service and the provided services are outstanding.Dr. Petcu is one of the most professional veterinarians that i have ever met in my 25 years of pet parenting. I drive across the valley just to see him( i live in Anthem) .He really cares about his animal patients and it shows in every visits . He is very knowledgeable , compassionate, friendly and always takes the time to answer any question i have and explaining in detail any situation we are dealing with. I had my share of visits to many animal hospitals in the valley but none of them had the last technology as Western - digital X-ray ( they send you home with a cd for you x-ray records ) every room has a computer monitor where the x-ray shows and Dr. Petcu can review with me every detail of it. Also they have the laser surgery and digital dental x-ray. Dr. petcu is one of the most
courteous and pleasant Vets I have ever met. The prices are more than reasonable and also they try to accommodate everybody. I cannot recommend them enough. You can rest easy knowing your pets are in their care.I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS HOSPITAL - THEY HAVE A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE IN ME! very good !

Looking for others with this rare cancer or have been through the treatment. I was diagnosed on Feb 12 2009 with Burkitts, a few days before that I was treated with R-Chop which really blasted the tumors (which were many). I had the R-CHOP basically to save my life as we couldn't wait on MAYO any longer. I am now half way through round 2 of 4 of the magrath protocol. Would like to know a good diet to be on and lots of other things. Can share ideas and support.
Apr 14, 2009 - 3:54 pm
I saw your posting while looking for Burkett's Lymphoma. My BIL was recently diagnosed with this as well.
He has a blog over here. It's a lot of his poetry. He is just in his first round of chemo right now.
wishing you well.
Christy W.
May 12, 2009 - 12:58 pm
I just saw these discussion boards yesterday and joined today. I am a Burkitts survivor. Dx in May 2007. Seven treatments of R-Hyper CVAD (What a trip those were). Remission after treatment 3 in October 2007. Took additional 4 treatments. Quarterly PET scans still clean.
I found that a high bulk diet with lots of rice and broth and soluble fiber helped with the gut issues. I spent most of my time on a low bacteria diet (sucks). After each week of treatment, my appetite came back to the point most allowable foods were good. I had strong desires to eat lots of seasonings (I think my tastebuds were stressed). Beyond the high bulk stuff, I found my diet to be not that remarkable.
Hope this helps.
Jun 04, 2009 - 8:59 pm
hey, i was diagnosed with burkitts on feb 14, almost the same day you weere! ha
ill be on the 4 of 4 treatments next week, and I pretty much everything i could... while my WBCs were low im put on neutropenic diet (im sure u are too)
How is everything going with your treatments? I hope your treatments are going well. Your almost done! Its been hard for me but its not as bad as i thought it would be. Good luck!
Jan 20, 2010 - 2:35 pm
Hi it's been awhile since I was on this board, I have since moved on from chemo and radiation to trying to regain my life back, in this process I and some other burkitts patients have started a website www.burkittslymphoma.org check it out if you have time.
Jan 22, 2010 - 8:26 am
I hope all is well for you. Can I ask, with no disrespect intended, what couldn't wait on Mayo any longer means? I was diagnosed with non Hodgkin's lymphoma. I called for an appointment on a Thursday evening, was scheduled for the following Tuesday(I can't even get an appt. with my primary that quickly) and have been being cared for there for almost a year and a half. I have had no problems whatsoever with waiting for anything and am extremely impressed with all aspects of my care and their vast and cutting edge knowledge of this disease. I am so sorry to hear there was a problem for you and wish you all the best. If there was a problem I know they would want to be informed of it as their primary focus is on the patient and they don't take kindly to any screw ups.
Jan 30, 2010 - 12:12 am
What waiting on mayo means is my biopsy samples were sent there but my burkitts was doubling in size every 16 hours mayo takes up to 10 days to get accurate results. I would have died by then, they had to treat me with RCHOP to save my life and three days later we got the results from mayo and then had to swap to CODOX M IVAC R right away to treat the Burkitt's because RCHOP is not adequate enough for Burkitt's. They thought I had diffuse large b cell lymphoma but were wrong. We were waiting on results from mayo to determine what I actually had.
Jan 30, 2010 - 9:16 am
What a scary thing for you to go through. I hope you are doing OK now. I don't know as much about Burkitt's as I do about Follicular NHL. I do remember my MD mentioning this type and saying the patients can literally sit in the waiting room waiting for their results and when they come back into him its bigger. It sounds like it all worked out in the end but feel bad for the stress you had. Thanks for your reply as I was worried about it and am glad you have found good care.

USIP's Lawrence Woocher on the New Steps to Prevent Genocide
United States Institute of Peace
4 August 2011
(…) USIP's Lawrence Woocher discusses President Barack Obama's major announcement Thursday on new steps to prevent mass atrocities, including the creation of an interagency Atrocities Prevention Board and other initiatives.
What will the interagency Atrocities Prevention Board do? What role will it play in policymaking?
The White House announcement states that the new board will "coordinate a whole-of-government approach to engaging 'early, proactively, and decisively'" in situations at risk of mass atrocities. It remains to be seen how it will operate in practice, but one important role indicated in the White House announcement would be to link risk assessments with the development of interagency preventive strategies. No systematic process currently exists to fill this critical function. As a result, despite the benefits of preventive action, a reactive culture prevails. (…) Therefore, a more systematic and coordinated interagency approach should ensure that a fuller range of options are presented to senior decision-makers before crises become full blown. (…)
What are some implications of President Obama's announcement to bar entry people who "organize or participate in war crimes, crimes against humanity, and serious violations of human rights"?
Most directly, this proclamation will help ensure that the United States cannot be used as a haven for perpetrators of these heinous crimes since suspected perpetrators will be denied entry. (…)
Why is this being announced now? Any significance to the timing?
This initiative has been in the works for some months. Its timing is probably less the result of any specific world events than patient spade work behind the scenes combining with an opening in the president's schedule. (…)
Are we "limited to either sending in the military or standing by and doing nothing" in the face of mass atrocity – or when we are on the brink of mass atrocity? That is, based on USIP research, what other tools exist that are less costly and effective?
Relevant preventive tools begin with risk assessment, early warning and other kinds of analysis; include long-term development initiatives such as support for inclusive governance institutions and the rule of law; diplomatic tools such as fact finding, sanctions and mediation; and military measures short of the use of force, such as peacekeeping, information operations and intensive surveillance. (…)
How does this White House initiative complement the work and findings of the Genocide Prevention Task Force (GPTF)?
(…) President Obama's unambiguous statement that "Preventing mass atrocities and genocide is a core national security interest and a core moral responsibility of the United States of America" is precisely the kind of clarity that the Task Force recommended.
There are several other themes in the presidential directive that echo findings of the GPTF and ongoing work by the Institute, including the need to improve the use of intelligence and early warning assessments to support policy development, to conduct "an inventory of existing tools and authorities across the government that can be drawn upon to prevent atrocities," and to improve training for frontline practitioners of diplomacy, development and defense. (…)
Finally, why is prevention a global responsibility? How can the U.S. engage key regional allies, as the president's directive requests?
The United States is just one of 140 states that has a legal obligation to "undertake to prevent" genocide, based on its ratification of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. Furthermore, at the 2005 World Summit, all member states of the United Nations accepted the "responsibility to protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity"—a concept known as "R2P."

As an Indian viewer, the foremost thing, which comes to mind, when thought about Mowgli serial, is the voice of Nana Patekar as Sharekhan, truly an amazing experience. We are in 2014, but still haven't got a catchy title song as "Jungle Jungle pata chala hai, Chaddi pehen ke phool khila hai".

I am so happy I finally have time to start blogging again after my family vacation. I will blog about the family vacation as well soon (hopefully).
For now please enjoy the result of this family photo shoot done by your Orlando family Photographer.
Victoria is such a beautiful girl and it is hard to believe that she is a Mom of two girls! I had a wonderful time photographing her and her family. We started at the studio, where girls were blown away by the selection of my dresses 🙂 And used some of my interior design as the props for the shoot!
These two beauties came out of the bathroom bringing my bathroom decor in their hands (flowers and crown). I am so glad they did! Look at these images we got now!
After the session on the studio we finished it up at the signature location of your Orlando photographer. I am so in love with this location and all so glad it gets requested by my clients. 🙂
A photograph is the best present for any occasion – it is timeless capture of an existing moment..
