Exam 2

Immediately after we are born, we start picking up sounds; the sound of our mother’s voice, the music playing in the elevator on the way to the car, and the happy cheers from a small child seeing their new sibling for the first time. We are always listening–picking up on conversations not meant for our ears, eavesdropping on the gossip of the adult world, and finding the meaning in the portentous silence. From all these auditory stimuli, we piece together the world around us to better understand what is happening to us, around us, and the secret happenings that were not for us to know. Great writers are the ones who listen and say nothing–who take it all in and save their classified information for a day when all the right words flow and form one epic story of the wondrous world we live in.

Healthcare in the United States is changing which has given rise to new hurdles that must be overcome. One of the issues that we are currently facing in many tertiary facilities is the need for set criteria involving intensive care unit admissions and discharges. Throughout the country the total number of intensive care unit (ICU) beds are on the rise, but the current supply still outnumbers the demand (Cognet & Coyer, 2014). The cost of staying in an ICU is continuing to increase with technology, and there are limitations that insurance companies and the government have set forth to the number of days a patient can reside there dependent upon his diagnosis and condition. Intensive care units will continue to undergo strain due to high census, and decisions to discharge patients will be effected (Wagner, Gabler, Ratcliffe, Brown, Strom, & Halpern, 2013). Typically, the decision to have a patient occupy an ICU bed is based upon whether or not they are sick enough to be there or if they are well enough to be discharged to a progressive care unit (PCU) or medical surgical unit (Meyer, 2003). A progressive care unit is a step down from an ICU, but has stricter criteria for admission than a medical surgical unit based upon the patients medical status. Not all facilities offer a PCU, but the need for this level of care is continuing to rise with the number of ICU admissions increasing. Standardized guidelines for patient placement in
