The above named resident was spoken to as it relates to her grievance filed reporting that Mr. Guilbeaux (Post-D Youth Supervisor) stated to her that she “is always talking, shut up and do your work”. Additionally, the youth expressed that in the past Mr. Guilbeaux has directed curse words at her (e.g. telling youth to “shut the fuck up”) and “put her down” verbally. Upon my investigation, the allegation of a verbal misconduct by Mr. Guilbeaux towards the youth was found to be unsubstantiated. Mr. Guilbeaux stated that in the classroom area, he never told the youth to shut up, but did redirect her to discontinue talking. The educational staff present in the classroom reported that she did hear Mr. Guilbeaux redirect the youth for talking, however could not recall the exact words used. During the investigation, Mr. Guilbeaux denied that at any time has he ever directed profanity directed towards the youth. Mr. Guilbeaux did admit to this writer, of cursing out of frustration during a separate situation when redirecting Kiah’s behavior, however expressed that the curse word was not directed towards the youth. Mr. Guilbeaux provided the example where Kiah was having issues following the directions given to her by unit and educational staff and after multiple redirections; out of frustration he stated the word, “Damn” to himself. …show more content…
Guilbeaux also included corrective measures to be initiated when dealing with all youth under his direct supervision here at Chesterfield Juvenile Detention. The following were discussed: 1. At no time should profanity or curse words be used while in the presence of any resident of CJDH. 2. Due to safety and security in a secure facility, always remove yourself from the situation if the youth’s behavior has arisen to the level which you cannot handle in accordance to the CJDH policy. 3. Proper role modeling 4. The treatment of residents as well as staff is expected to be done professionally and

Meeting requirements meaning maintaining a sanitary, orderly, and comfortable interior with clean bed and bath linens that are in good condition. The facility will be equipped and maintained to protect the health and safety of residents, personnel, and the public. However, meeting resident’s wishes would be something that allows the resident to have maximum control over future medical decisions by expressing his or her wishes about medical care and the resident requests that a friend or family member remain present during the conversation, the ombudsman representative should honor that wish.

There are also personnel like orderlies, therapists, physicians, and lab attendants who work alongside the facility but may not have direct contact with the patients daily, but instead are only scheduled to visit once or twice weekly. A substantial issue within the staffing of these organizations is that they’re usually constantly understaffed, offering jobs to those who have no work experience in taking care of others. This can lead to the abuse of patients by them not receiving adequate care.
As health care workers we are under a legal obligation to protect an individual from any kind of abuse, whether it is physical, financial, emotional, sexual or psychological .Legislation, policies and procedures exist to promote a safer working environment and reduce the potential for risks occurring.

According to the National Ethics Committee of the Veterans Health Administration (2003), “Professionals are required to make a fiduciary commitment to place their clients’ interests ahead of their own.

According to Lewis, 2016, a resident from Leamington nursing home died to due nurses’ failure to appropriately care and treat his pressure wounds which resulted into gangrene. When the resident’s family member realised his situation, they requested the nursing home to rush him to hospital but their request was ignored. The staff stated that they were able to manage wounds. His family organised their own assistance and he was taken to hospital. However, the wounds had been badly infected that he eventually died. The Aged Care Complains Commissioner noted that, the resident’s death resulted from poor care and management to his wounds. There was little evidence of appropriate documentation concerning wound care and updates to the resident’s doctor of his status. Upon reading this incident, I felt so disappointed with Leamington nursing home because their poor performance contributed to the resident’s death. In addition, I expected the nursing home to have set standards and guidelines that had to be followed. There was poor communication amongst all the staff members. The incident resulted in positive and negative impacts. Negatively, the resident died which was devastating for the family for their loss. The unprofessional actions of nurses created a bad reputation for the entire facility for elderly abuse and neglect. Positively, there was change in the weak management, staff and systems as shown by Lewis, 2016. Staff attended mandatory trainings for wound care and improved communication skills were also emphasized. Therefore, nurses should always work according to their professional standards of practice and
For the most part, hospitals are places where one comes for healing and it is place where our clients should feel safe and away from harm. Nurses have an important role as a patient advocate and are to provide all clients with safe, compassionate, and quality care at all times. Nonetheless, the hospital can also be a dangerous place for inpatients. It is a foreign environment to clients and there may be alterations in their medical condition in regards to their physical and/or mental status. With this said, there is a need to improve upon how we care for our clients, especially those who are at most risk for various incidents.
Their main focus is to ensure a high standard and quality of life for the employees and their families who are contracted to the facility. A careful checks and balances system of governing will be put in place so that no single individual would be able to supersede another.
Nurses and nursing staff should treat everyone in their care with dignity and humanity and should understand individual needs, show compassion and sensitivity, and provide care in a
