#Acute Nursing Assignment Help

[andhumanslovedstories]

The critical care unit is where the sickest people in the hospital go. Those patients need a nurse completely dedicated to them, and the unit needs to keep "code beds" open in case a patient in a different part of the hospital urgently needs a higher level of care. That means critical care is always under pressure to decompress (i.e. to turf their less sick patients somewhere else so they can take even sicker patients.)

In the last weeks before we went on strike, I was floated repeatedly to the critical care unit to take care of boarders. That's what we call medsurg patients who have graduated from critical care but don't yet have a bed on a medsurg floor. Personally, I hate floating to critical care. On the floor, you would (ideally) never get a patient assignment of three patients who were critical care status an hour ago. That's going to be a very heavy assignment. But that's how many I can take when I'm helping out in critical care. And it's dangerous. It's SO dangerous. The scariest shifts I've had have been with patients who should be in critical care but aren't. People with massive strokes, or GI bleeds, or respiratory failure, that are technically able to be downgraded because if you say they're less acute, you can give more of them to the same nurse.

Last June, Oregon passed a law mandating certain nurse to patient ratios on units. While critical care is ideally a one to one ratio, medsurg (where I work, which is the general hospital population that isn't maternity, emergency, maternity, or behavioral health--so, almost everyone) has more patients per nurse. This is good and makes sense! Most people in the hospital do not need dedicated one-on-one care with someone outside their door. As a night-time medsurg nurse, I expect to take four patients a night.

And by the way? There are a lot of medsurg nurses in America who would KILL for four patients a night. I know some nurses reading this are like "four??? are you kidding me?????" Night shift nurses in states with less protections can average seven or eight patients a night. I've seen some go as high as twelve. When I have five patients, I feel like I'm running like crazy. I truly cannot understand how I could possibly give good care to more people than that.

What this means in an understaffed hospital is that patients who should be critical care get classified as medsurg instead, so instead of needing another nurse to treat another ICU patient, you can give that patient to a medsurg nurse instead. This is so common. I'm in float pool which means I work in almost twenty different units in the hospital. I have seen this happen on every single unit. Critical care patients become medsurg patients. Medsurg patients become observation class. Whatever it takes to maintain the legally mandated ratios without actually increasing staffing.

One of the major things ONA (the Oregon Nursing Association) is striking for protection against decisions like this that put patients and their caregivers at increased risk so that the hospital can save money. Even when laws are put in place protecting workers and patients, companies will work as hard as they can to circumvent those requirements. It's not enough to get legislation passed. We need the power to enforce that legislation. And baby, there is power in a union.

Emergency Department, Seoul Medical University Hospital

Time: 3:17 AM

The stretcher slammed through the ER’s double doors with a clang, the wheels shrieking under the weight of urgency. A sharp scent of antiseptic mixed with blood and sterile gauze clung to the cold air. Nurses barked out vitals while a young intern tripped over the IV line, earning a scowl from the charge nurse. You were barely conscious—ashen skin, lips tinged blue, your breath ragged like shattered glass. Your medical ID necklace glinted weakly under the fluorescent lights.

“Twenty-four-year-old female, history of MDS—high-risk subtype. She collapsed at home. Complaints of severe bone pain, fever, and tachycardia. Suspected sepsis.”

“BP’s 80 over 48 and falling. SpO2 at 86% on room air.”

“Push one liter NS, wide open. Get a CBC, BMP, blood cultures, lactic acid, and coags STAT—”

“Where’s Dr. Lee?!”

That name—quiet but commanding—cut through the chaos like a scalpel.

Dr. Lee Minho arrived moments later, stethoscope already around his neck, white coat billowing like a silent storm cloud. His hair was slightly tousled, evidence he’d been asleep moments before but there was no hesitation in his movements.

“Move,” he said calmly.

He leaned over your body as the team parted. His fingers found your radial pulse, thready. He noted the fever in your skin, the petechiae blooming across your limbs, the raw wince when he palpated your abdomen. “Leukemic transformation,” he muttered under his breath. “Possibly febrile neutropenia with septic shock. She's neutropenic. Start piperacillin-tazobactam and vancomycin. Isolate her. I want a central line and a STAT oncology consult.”

His voice was clinical, sharp, but his eyes? They lingered. Just for a second. On your face. You blinked up at him, barely registering the surgical mask, the depth in his gaze.

“Don’t let me die,” you rasped.

He stilled. And then, softer—softer than anyone had ever heard from him—he whispered, “Not tonight.”

Over the next few hours, your body fought a battle you didn’t witness. Lab values crashed. Your blood cultures lit up like a Christmas tree. A transfusion was ordered, then another. Your oxygen saturation dipped, then slowly climbed under high-flow nasal cannula.

And Dr. Lee stayed.

He charted. Adjusted your IV. Read every previous record like it was a prophecy written in your marrow. The next morning, when the sun breached through sterile blinds, he sat at your bedside in fresh scrubs, his white coat folded neatly over a chair. He wasn't your attending, not officially. But when you woke up with a sore throat and burning muscles, he was there.

Seoul Medical University Hospital – Hematology & Palliative Care Wing

The fluorescent lights hummed softly above you as you lay in the private palliative room—Room 417. A gentle breeze brushed in from the cracked window, stirring the sterile scent with the lavender diffuser Dr. Lee insisted on replacing every week. He said it helped his patients sleep. But you knew it was because it helped you dream. Lee Know—Dr. Lee Minho—wasn't the type of physician who lingered unless there was a reason. Stern, efficient, and precise, like the incisions he made during his early trauma residency days. But for you, there was something different. The way his eyes softened when reviewing your lab reports, the slight delay in his steps as he left your room, or the way he’d stand at your door a second longer than needed, fingers flexing as if resisting the urge to turn back.

Your diagnosis: Myelodysplastic Syndrome with progression into acute myeloid leukemia. Your prognosis: Poor. Limited response to induction chemo. You had refused further aggressive treatments. Instead, they assigned you a permanent physician for end-stage palliative care.

Lee Know.

“Your white cell count dropped again,” he murmured, tapping at the tablet in his palm as he sat beside you. His stethoscope—cold, always cold—rested at the hollow of your clavicle, but you barely flinched anymore. “Respiratory rate’s steady. Heart’s holding. You’re stable… for now.”

His voice was gentle, devoid of pity but full of that quiet warmth that had become your only comfort. His dark hair fell slightly over his eyes, and he hadn't noticed until you reached a trembling hand to brush it aside.

“You need sleep, Doctor.”

He smiled, brief and broken.

“So do you.”

Over weeks, your body weakened. Episodes of febrile neutropenia left you gasping between nights. You could feel the silent fear in Lee Know every time he checked your oxygen saturation, his gloved hands hesitating at the pulse oximeter, his eyes betraying a flicker of dread when the numbers dipped.

And yet, he stayed. He brought you coffee-scented candles. He learned how you liked your IV tubes taped—horizontal, not looped. He never wore the white coat inside your room anymore. “It makes you nervous,” he had once said simply, hanging it on the door hook like a promise to be more than your physician, your friend.

Sometimes, he’d sit at the edge of your bed, pulling out your charts, reading labs, but eventually drifting into quiet stories. He told you about how he once missed a suturing exam because he was too busy watching a stray cat give birth behind the med school. You told him about the dreams you had, of running in forests, of dancing with the moonlight in your lungs, free from beeping monitors and blood transfusions.

“Do you think,” you asked one evening, voice barely above a whisper, “if we met somewhere else—if I wasn’t dying—would you have liked me?”

He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he took your frail hand, carefully adjusting the pulse oximeter before speaking. “I already like you. That’s the problem.” He never said the words. But you saw it in the tension of his jaw when you vomited from pain meds, in how he wiped your mouth himself when the nurse was slow to arrive. You saw it in the way he charted your decline each day with surgical sorrow—as though every entry carved deeper into his ribs.

He wasn't supposed to fall. But love, like illness, had its own pathology. Quiet, invasive. Irreversible.

Oncology Department – Doctors’ Lounge, Seoul Medical University Hospital

Time: 6:42 PM

The sterile hum of the oncology wing was dimmed in the late evening. Harsh fluorescent lighting overhead had been traded for a warmer amber in the doctors' lounge—a temporary illusion of comfort in a place ruled by cold facts and clinical decisions. Dr. Minho stood by the glass window, arms folded, stethoscope looped lazily around his neck. Outside, the sun dipped low behind the city skyline. Inside, silence hovered, until a voice broke through.

“Lee,” Dr. Chan’s voice was casual, but firm—the kind of tone reserved for both praise and warning. “You’ve been taking a lot of time with Patient Y/N.” Minho didn’t turn. “She needs it.”

Chan stepped inside, sliding the door shut with a soft click. In his hands: your file. Bulky, already stained with color-coded stickers, urgent consults, infectious disease reports, oncology charts, and now… palliative care briefs. “Her numbers are deteriorating,” Chan said. “Hemoglobin’s down again. Platelets are almost transfusion-dependent. And the last marrow biopsy?” He sighed. “Blasts are over thirty percent.”

Minho finally turned. “I know.”

“Do you?” Chan's brow lifted. “You’ve been her doctor for—what—three weeks now? That’s a long time to stay attached for someone not even in your primary caseload.”

Minho stepped forward, expression unreadable. “She’s lucid. Cognitively sharp. No signs of neurological decline. Yes, she’s declining systemically—but she’s still fighting. She deserves someone consistent.”

“And she has someone consistent,” Chan replied gently. “But I need to know if that someone is still you as a doctor—or you as something else.” That made Minho pause.

Silence stretched between them. He didn’t deny it. Not exactly. Not in the way he usually would.

“…She reminds me why I do this,” he said, voice low. “She jokes with the nurses even after chemo wipes her out. She thanks the interns who can’t look her in the eye. She smiles when she’s vomiting. And she knows she’s dying.”

Chan softened slightly. “And that’s why you need to be careful.”

“I’m not crossing any boundaries.”

“Yet.” Minho turned again, staring back out at the window. The reflection of your chart glimmered faintly in the glass, as if your story lived in both worlds, the real and the mirrored.

“She asked me today if I thought heaven had hospitals,” he murmured.

“…And what did you say?”

“I said heaven’s wherever she doesn’t need one.”

Chan exhaled, slow. He walked to the table, placed your file down, and rested a hand on it.

“Just remember—when she lets go, you can’t fall with her.”

Scene: Oncology Wing, Room 417

Time: 11:34 AM

The clink of metal cutlery against porcelain was gentle, hesitant. Like the tremble of her hand didn’t want to disturb the quiet peace of the room. A tray sat on the rolling table in front of Y/N, barely touched. Watery porridge, a half-opened yogurt cup, and a slice of apple that looked more like a challenge than a fruit. Lee Know sat beside her bed—not on the visitor’s chair, but on the side of the mattress itself, white coat wrinkled at the hem, stethoscope tucked into his pocket. He had been doing that more lately—sitting with her, not over her. No longer just her doctor. Something else. Something heavier.

“You don’t have to force it,” he said quietly, watching her struggle to lift the spoon to her lips.

“I’m not,” she smiled. “I’m just... negotiating with it.”

He gave a small huff of amusement. “How’s the negotiation going?”

“Not well,” she muttered, then blinked at the spoonful of porridge. “I offered it friendship. It responded with betrayal.”

Minho let out a quiet laugh, but it was laced with something fragile. This was how it had been since she arrived. At first, their exchanges had been clinical. Precise. Symptoms, meds, charts. But then—between the rounds, after the lumbar punctures, during late nights when her pain spiked—something shifted. She saw through him. Saw past the doctor title and straight to the person.

And somehow, he’d let her in. “Do you ever eat with your patients?” she asked, resting the spoon back in the bowl. “Or am I just the favorite?”

He glanced at her tray. “Only when they’re winning battles.”

“I’m trying to,” she whispered. That whisper—quiet and honest—echoed too loudly in the room. And just as she turned back to try another bite, it happened.

Her stomach clenched. Her face went pale, eyes watering as the nausea hit hard. She dropped the spoon, clutched at her abdomen, and gagged. Minho was on his feet instantly, reaching for the basin, supporting her frail frame as she threw up into it. Her body convulsed against his hands, trembling violently. The food—what little there was—splashed into the basin with a horrible sound. He held her hair back, one hand on her back, rubbing gently in circles.

“It’s okay, it’s okay…” he muttered, voice cracking as he steadied her.

She coughed, then collapsed against his chest, weak and clammy. And despite himself—despite years of training to never get attached—he blinked hard to fight back the tears. He had watched tumors shrink and grow, watched hearts stop and restart. But nothing prepared him for the devastation of watching her suffer.

Still, she chuckled. Breathless. Whispery. But a chuckle nonetheless.

“You know... you look like you're about to cry,” she teased. He swallowed hard. “I’m fine.”

“Liar.”

He helped her lie back down, gently adjusting her IV line. Her breathing was shallow but even now, calm. She stared up at him, cheeks pale, lips dry—but eyes bright with something peaceful. Accepting. Not fighting anymore. Just… being. “Lee Know,” she murmured, using his name without the title. She always did that when it was just them. “Can I ask you something?”

He nodded.

“If it were you in this bed… would you want someone to stay? Or would you rather be left alone so it hurts less when they’re gone?”

He looked at her for a long moment, silence weighing between them.

“…I think I’d want someone to stay,” he finally answered. “Even if it hurt.”

She smiled. A soft, serene thing. “Then don’t leave me yet.”

Minho froze. She didn’t say it with desperation. She wasn’t begging. She was just… reminding him that his presence, his stubborn daily visits, his quiet company—it all mattered. Even as her body failed, her heart still reached for him.

“I’ll tell the nurses to come check on you,” he said suddenly, standing, voice tight.

“Minho,” she said, this time more softly. “It’s okay to care, you know. Just don’t let it drown you.”

He paused at the door. His hand clenched the edge of his white coat.

Without turning back, he said, “You always say things like you’re already gone.”

And with that, he walked out, expression unreadable, throat burning, heart heavy.

Outside, the hallway smelled like antiseptic and ghosted hope. But inside Room 417, you were smiling, your frail hand resting calmly on your chest, as if you’d just whispered a secret the universe would have to hold for him now.

Hospital Hallway, Oncology Department

Time: 9:47 PM

The hum of overhead lights was dull, almost weary—like even the hospital itself was tired. Most of the nurses had clocked out. A few interns lingered at their desks. The corridor to Room 417 was dimmer now, the once-bustling ward quieting down as the night shift settled in. Minho stood alone at the end of the hall, back pressed against the cold wall near the nurse's station, arms folded. He hadn’t moved in a while. His coat was still on, but his badge had been unclipped, tucked into his pocket, like he didn’t want to carry the weight of the title anymore. A clipboard rested beside him. Unused. Blank.

Chan, who had just finished his rounds and was headed toward the elevators, slowed when he caught sight of him. The head doctor’s footsteps softened as he approached, reading the tension like it was printed on the walls.

“You still here?” Chan asked, brows lifting.

Minho didn’t answer immediately. Chan looked him up and down. “Have you eaten?”

“Yeah,” Minho lied. His voice was quiet. Distant. “I’m fine.” Chan didn’t believe him, but he nodded anyway, giving him room.

“What are you doing here this late?” Chan asked gently, glancing toward Room 417. “She asleep?” Minho nodded slowly. “Yeah. She vomited earlier. I stayed to monitor her vitals. Just in case.” Chan sighed softly. “Minho… you’ve been here longer than anyone. Every night. You know her numbers as well as her chart does.”

Silence.

“Go home,” Chan said carefully. “You need rest. You’ve done more than enough.”

Something shifted in Minho’s face. Not big, not loud, but enough for Chan to feel it. His jaw clenched, shoulders tightened, and his voice shook.

“No,” Minho said, harshly. “I haven’t.”

Chan blinked. “Minho…”

“I haven’t done enough. If I had—she wouldn’t be like this. She wouldn’t be so damn calm about dying. She wouldn’t be making peace with it while I’m just—just standing there acting like I know how to save her when I can’t.”

His voice broke. It startled Chan—Minho never let himself break.

Minho turned away slightly, breathing hard, hands curling into fists at his sides. “You know what the worst part is? She’s the one comforting me. I hold the chart, I deliver the news, I monitor her stats—and she just smiles at me like that’s supposed to make it okay. She’s dying, hyung. She’s dying, and she’s still trying to protect me.”

Chan’s lips parted, stunned into silence. Minho let out a sharp breath, and suddenly, it was there.

Tears.

Not loud. Not dramatic. Just quiet, stinging tears that sat in the corners of his eyes and refused to fall. Like he was still trying to keep it together, still trying to be the strong one. And then Chan saw it like an echo surfacing from deep memory:

Minho stood in the hallway outside Room 206, white coat brand new, face too young for the grief etched into it. Inside, a little girl lay still. Leukemia. He’d tried everything. She'd written him a thank-you note the day before she passed. He hadn’t cried then. Just stood there while Chan told him, “Some patients you lose... and it never stops hurting.” And Minho had said, “If this is how it starts, I don’t know if I can keep going.”

Now, years later, Minho was still standing in the same place, different room, same ache.

Chan stepped forward slowly, rested a hand on Minho’s shoulder. His voice was softer this time. “She’s not asking you to save her, Minho. She just wants you to be there.”

Minho didn’t respond but his shoulders shook once. Just once. “You’ve done more than enough,” Chan said again, firmer now. “Let yourself rest. Let yourself feel.” Minho finally looked at him, eyes rimmed red, jaw trembling. But he didn’t argue.

Chan gave his shoulder one last squeeze, then slowly pulled away.

“I’ll see you in the morning,” he said quietly. And then he left, footsteps echoing down the quiet hall.

Minho stood there for a moment longer, staring at the linoleum floor like it might offer him answers. Then, without a word, he turned and walked down the opposite corridor. Past the breakroom. Past the surgical prep wing. Into his small, dimly lit office.

He locked the door behind him, dropped onto the couch, and didn’t even bother turning off the lights. He didn’t cry again. He just sat there.

Awake. Listening to the silence and pretending that somewhere in it, maybe she was still smiling.

2:17 AM. Y/N’s Room. Room 417. Desk Lamp On.

The hospital room was quiet, save for the distant hum of a monitor and the soft scribble of pen on paper. Y/N sat propped up on a pillow, shoulders trembling under a thin blanket, her oxygen line carefully tucked beneath her nose. Her hands shook as she wrote not from nerves, but from the toll her body had taken. Every breath was a fight, every movement a surrender.

But her eyes were calm.

She paused occasionally, her gaze drifting toward the window where the moonlight bled through the curtains, then back to the letter in her lap. Her words came slowly but purposefully.

To Dr. Lee Minho (but mostly, just Minho),

If you're reading this… then the day has come. And I’m sorry. Not because I’m gone—but because I know you’re hurting. You always thought you had to carry everything on your own. You wore your silence like armor. You thought if you cared too much, it would ruin you. I saw that… even when you didn’t say a word.

But you cared anyway. For me. You were never just my doctor. You were my first real friend in all of this. My anchor. You made this place feel less like a countdown and more like a home. I know you’ll want to blame yourself. You’ll think maybe there was something more you could’ve done. But please… don’t let this become another ghost you carry.

You gave me so many more days than I ever thought I’d have. You gave me your time, your kindness, your silence when I needed it and your voice when I couldn’t find mine. You made me laugh. You listened to all my weird dreams and terrible jokes and watched me cry without trying to fix it. You didn’t run from me, even when I was slipping away. I feel like after I write this things may not go the way we want, and maybe this is selfish… but I need you to promise me you’ll keep going.

I want you to eat real meals, sleep in your bed—not your office. I want you to keep caring for people… even if it hurts. Because you’re good, Minho. So good. And if one day someone asks what happened to your patient in Room 417, you can say, “She lived.” Not for long, maybe—but she lived. Because you gave her reasons to.

I hope you find joy again. I hope someone loves you the way you deserve. And if you ever miss me… just look up. I’ll be in the stars, whispering terrible jokes at you.

Thank you for staying.

Love,

Y/N.

4:36 AM. Lee Know’s Office. Monitor Beep. Incoming Call.

Lee Know startled awake, head jerking from the desk, his heart already racing.

“Code Blue – Room 417.”

“No.”

The word was immediate. Guttural. Terrified.

No. No. No. No. No.

His coat was halfway on before he even realized it. The hallway blurred past him—white walls, overhead lights, a nurse calling out his name—and then he reached her door.

Chaos. Inside, nurses worked frantically, pressing paddles to her chest. A senior physician barked vitals. A respiratory therapist adjusted the ventilator. The monitor screamed.

Flatline. Minho’s legs felt heavy. His chest constricted. It was happening again.

“BP still crashing—come on, push epi!”

He couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe. Then he saw it.

The letter. Folded neatly. Propped against the metal table near the foot of her bed. His name scrawled across the front. His trembling hands reached for it as the chaos unfolded behind him.

He opened it. Each line etched into his brain like a slow, deliberate wound.

She knew.

She knew. The longer he read, the harder it got to see the page, tears spilling, lips parting in silent disbelief. He pressed a hand to his mouth as her words sank deeper and deeper, breaking him open in a place he'd spent years barricading.

A sob broke from his throat. And just as his eyes reached the final line—

Thank you for staying.

—The monitor gave its final, single beep.

And then—

Silence. Stillness. No more rhythm. No more fight. No more noise. Lee Know’s fingers slipped from the letter. It floated down to the cold tile floor like the last petal of something once blooming.

He didn’t speak. He didn’t move. He just stood there, eyes locked on her still form, breathing in the heartbreak that would live with him forever.

“Time of death,” Dr. Yoon murmured, glancing at the monitor before lowering her head.

A nurse gently confirmed, “5:03 A.M.” For a moment, no one moved. The air in the room was heavier than usual. The kind of heavy that crawled into the lungs and sat there, refusing to let go.

Lee Know stood frozen, letter limp in his hand, the final words still echoing in his ears as her body lay motionless before him. Her eyes were closed. Her lips slightly parted like she might still be whispering something into the veil between this world and the next.

“Let’s give Dr. Lee a moment,” Dr. Yoon said softly, ushering the staff toward the door. One by one, they left. Machines powered down. Monitors silenced. The room, once frantic with life-saving attempts, fell into a hush so still it screamed.

Then the door clicked shut. And Minho broke. He staggered forward, fingers gripping the foot of her bed as the sobs came in waves, unfiltered and raw.

“Why… why did it have to be you?!” he whispered, voice crumbling under the weight of grief. “You weren’t supposed to be next…”

His shoulders shook violently as he collapsed into the chair beside her bed, head bowed, hand reaching—slow, trembling—until it found hers. Cold. Too cold.

He held it anyway. The letter trembled in his lap, her words now carved into the softest, most shattered parts of him.

“I wasn’t ready,” he choked. “I wasn’t ready to let you go. I didn’t want to say goodbye yet. I still had more to tell you…”

Tears spilled endlessly onto his hands, her sheets, her skin.

“You were so brave,” he whispered, voice nearly gone. “You never gave up. Even when you were in pain. Even when you knew this was coming…” He squeezed her hand like it might bring her back. Like maybe this time, if he held on tightly enough, the outcome would be different.

But it wasn’t. The silence stayed. So, he wept freely, brokenly, like the man behind the coat and stethoscope was nothing more than a boy who had just lost someone irreplaceable.

And for the first time in years…

He let himself grieve.

---

On-call Room, Three Weeks Later

The room was quiet except for the soft hum of the vending machine and the occasional footsteps of nurses beyond the door. Lee Know sat slouched on the small couch, a half-empty coffee cup in one hand, Y/N’s medical journal in the other. It was worn from her fingers, the pages slightly curled at the corners. Her handwriting danced across every page—sometimes shaky, sometimes strong—but always hers. Her voice in ink.

He’d read the first few pages a dozen times already, but tonight… tonight he couldn’t stop.

April 4th, 2:03 AM

"Dr. Lee said my blood pressure’s better today. I think he’s just trying to be nice. But he also brought me a banana (I hate bananas), and I ate the whole thing because he looked proud. I think… I’m starting to care too much. That’s dangerous."

He exhaled a quiet laugh, eyes misting. “You always hated bananas.” He flipped to another page.

May 17th

"I dreamt last night I was healthy again. I was running and Dr. Lee was yelling at me to slow down. I told him, ‘Catch me if you can!’ He didn’t. He just stood there smiling. I wish dreams could keep you alive."

Lee Know’s jaw clenched. He turned to the very last entry.

June 1st

"He sat with me for an hour today. Said nothing. I didn’t either. I think we both knew I was slipping. But the silence didn’t feel empty—it felt full. I think that’s how you know you love someone. When silence speaks more than words."

A tear landed on the page. And another.

He gently closed the journal, pressing it to his chest as he leaned back against the couch, eyes shut tight, trying to breathe through the pain. The quiet around him was vast, endless until the door creaked open.

“Minho?”

He looked up. Chan stood there, lab coat half-buttoned, eyes lined with fatigue—but soft with concern. Lee Know quickly wiped his face with the back of his sleeve. “Hey.”

Chan stepped in, closing the door behind him. “You’ve been here since the funeral.”

Lee Know gave a small nod. Chan eyed the journal. “Her handwriting?”

“She wrote every day,” Minho whispered, voice cracking. “Even when she couldn’t speak. Even when the pain was so bad her fingers locked up. She… didn’t want to be forgotten.”

Chan sat beside him slowly. “She won’t be.”

Minho shook his head, his fingers curling around the book. “I lost her, hyung. Just like the first one. Just like that kid three years ago… Remember? The one in PICU? I swore I’d never feel that helpless again.”

Chan let out a breath. “I remember. That broke you.”

“This…” Minho looked down. “This shattered me.”

Chan placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. “And yet—you’re still here.”

Minho closed his eyes. “You're still reading her words. Still mourning her right,” Chan continued. “That means she mattered. And it means you did your job—with everything you had.”

“I don’t know if I can do this again,” Minho whispered. “Not if every goodbye hurts like this.”

Chan smiled gently. “But you will. Because this isn’t about not hurting. It’s about choosing to keep going, knowing it hurts. That’s what makes you the doctor patients remember—even after they’re gone.”

Lee Know looked at him, eyes glassy. Chan leaned forward, squeezing his shoulder. “You loved her, Minho. That doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human.” Just then—an overhead voice pierced the stillness.

“Code Yellow. Cardiac arrest. ER, Room 12.”

Minho froze. Chan looked up, then back to him.

“Come on,” he said softly. “Let’s go save someone else.” Minho stared at the journal one last time… then carefully set it on the table, kissed his fingers, and brushed them against the cover.

“For her.”

And he rose.

They both did—coats flying behind them, stethoscopes swinging—two doctors stepping back into the fire. Because the world hadn’t stopped. And neither would they.

¶ … Tapentadol IR for Acute Pain Is Associated With Improved Gastrointestinal Tolerability Compared to Oxycodone IR. Medical News Today. 11 May 2008. Retrieved Feb 1, 2009 at http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/107002.php Nurses treating patients for acute pain need to be aware of contraindications, patient allergies, and the differences between pharmaceutical pain interventions. The Food and Drug Administration recently approved a new pharmaceutical called Tapentadol. Tapentadol is administered orally and has been proven to induce fewer side effects in patients than comparable pain medications while providing the same quality of relief. The drug is especially effective in treating lower back pain and osteoarthritis, two conditions nurses will commonly encounter. Nurses should be aware of the potential for Tapentadol to help alleviate acute (from moderate to severe) pain in patients who also suffer from gastrointestinal distress as well. Tapentadol is currently manufactured in immediate release (IR) and extended release (ER) tablets. Recent research compared the effects of Tapentadol with oxycodone IR and found that the former caused significantly fewer gastrointestinal side effects including nausea, vomiting, constipation, or a combination thereof. Moreover, the drug was tolerated well after several weeks of administration. As a new generation of pain relief medications, Tapentadol should be added to any nurse's lexicon of pharmaceuticals. The drug will also be available in extended relief formulas for patients with more chronic pain concerns. Initially developed by German pharmaceutical company Grunenthal, Tapentadol is distributed and manufactured in the United States by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development (J&JPRD), L.L.C. Both Grunenthal and J&JPRD supported the phase 3 clinical research. The study was double blind and randomized, using a large population sample. Therefore, the research offers reliable data supporting the emerging medication. The sample included 878 patients with low back pain or pain from osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. Patients were randomly assigned to Tapentadol or control drug oxycodone and took their medications for 90 days Doses for Tapentadol were flexible with either 50 or 100 mg offered every 4 to 6 hours, up to a maximum of 600 mg/day. Instances of nausea, vomiting, and constipation were significantly lower in the Tapentadol group vs. The oxycodone group. Doses were flexible and mimicked real life administrations of the medications. However, the control group was given 10 mg or 15 mg of oxycodone IR every four to six hours. The lack of standardization of doses and the flexible administration of the drugs compromise the reliability and validity of the study. Nurses should also take note that rates of other side-effects such as drowsiness and dizziness did not differ between the two groups. Tapentadol is especially effective for patients experiencing chronic pain but who cannot tolerate the gastrointestinal side-effects of oxycodone or other pain relief medications. No other side effects were investigated in the current research. Nurses need to keep abreast of new pharmaceutical interventions that can help improve patient well-being. Tapentadol is one promising new addition to the pain relief medicine cabinet. Back pain, osteoarthritis, and other causes of both chronic and acute pain are not isolated conditions. Many patients also react strongly to pain medications with gastrointestinal symptoms ranging from nausea to constipation. Tapentadol promises to offer strong and immediate pain relief with a minimum number and minimal severity of side effects. https://www.paperdue.com/customer/paper/tapentadol-ir-for-acute-pain-25128#:~:text=Logout-,TapentadolIRforAcutePain,-Length2pages   Read the full article

Home Care Services in Michigan: An Overview

Michigan's aging population and healthcare landscape have created an increasing demand for quality Michigan home care services. These services allow individuals to receive necessary care while maintaining independence in their own homes, often proving to be both cost-effective and emotionally beneficial compared to institutional alternatives.

Types of Home Care Services Available in Michigan

Michigan residents can access several types of home care services based on their unique needs:

Medical Home Care: Licensed healthcare professionals provide skilled nursing care, medication management, wound care, and rehabilitation services. These services are often prescribed following hospitalization or for managing chronic conditions.

Personal Care Assistance: Caregivers assist with activities of daily living (ADLs) like bathing, dressing, toileting, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. This support helps maintain dignity and independence.

Companion Care: Focused on emotional and social support, companion care prevents isolation and provides meaningful interaction through conversation, recreational activities, and transportation to community events.

Specialized Care: Services tailored for specific conditions such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, or post-stroke recovery, provided by caregivers with specialized training.

Funding and Insurance Options

Michigan offers various funding pathways for home care services:

Medicare: Covers limited home health services for homebound individuals needing skilled care. Services must be prescribed by a physician and delivered by Medicare-certified agencies.

Medicaid: Michigan's Medicaid program includes Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that provide alternatives to nursing home care for eligible low-income residents.

MI Choice Waiver Program: Designed for Medicaid-eligible adults who require nursing facility level of care but prefer to receive services at home.

Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE): Comprehensive care model combining Medicare and Medicaid funding to provide all needed preventive, primary, acute, and long-term care services.

Long-Term Care Insurance: Private insurance policies that may cover home care services depending on the specific policy terms.

Veterans Benefits: The VA offers home care benefits for eligible veterans through programs like Aid and Attendance or Homemaker/Home Health Aide services.

Selecting a Quality Home Care Provider

When choosing a home care provider in Michigan, consider these factors:

Licensing and Certification: Verify that the agency meets Michigan's regulatory requirements and holds appropriate licenses.

Staff Qualifications: Inquire about caregiver screening, training requirements, supervision protocols, and ongoing education.

Range of Services: Ensure the provider offers services that match current needs while being capable of adapting as needs change.

Continuity of Care: Ask about caregiver assignment practices and backup protocols when regular caregivers are unavailable.

Emergency Procedures: Understand how emergencies are handled and what systems are in place for urgent situations.

Cost Structure: Request detailed information about billing practices, payment options, and assistance with insurance claims.

Client References: Speak with current or former clients about their experiences with the provider.

Michigan-Specific Resources

Several resources help Michigan residents navigate home care options:

Area Agencies on Aging (AAA): Michigan's 16 regional AAAs provide information, referrals, and assistance accessing appropriate care services.

Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS): Offers programs and resources for elderly residents and those with disabilities.

MI Care Link: Online resource connecting Michigan residents with community services and support programs.

Michigan Aging and Adult Services Agency: Provides advocacy, education, and service development for older adults.

Michigan Long Term Care Ombudsman Program: Advocates for residents receiving long-term care services, including those in home care settings.

Challenges and Innovations

Michigan's home care landscape faces challenges including caregiver shortages, rural access limitations, and evolving reimbursement models. However, innovations are emerging:

Telehealth Integration: Remote monitoring and virtual visits extend care reach, particularly beneficial in rural areas.

Self-Directed Care Models: Programs allowing care recipients to hire and manage their own caregivers, including family members in some cases.

Technology Adoption: Smart home devices, medication management systems, and fall detection technology enhancing safety and independence.

Value-Based Care: Shifting payment models rewarding quality outcomes rather than service volume.

Conclusion

Home care services represent a vital component of Michigan's healthcare continuum, allowing residents to age in place with dignity and appropriate support. By understanding available options, funding sources, and quality indicators, Michigan families can make informed decisions about care that meets their unique needs while promoting independence and quality of life.

The importance of assessing pain is also crucial to effective pain relief which was discussed by these authors as a necessary part of the patient’s care. Nursing interventions relating to pain management must also focus on independent nursing interventions which the nurse can apply even without consulting with specialists. Training and improved knowledge and awareness in pain management was also highlighted by these authors. Pain is one of the common medical issues and symptoms were patients encounter. This pain may be acute or chronic; they may also be mild, moderate or severe. Regardless of duration or intensity, pain often affects patients physically, mentally, and emotionally (Maclellan, 2004). Managing such pain can therefore be a significant help to these patients, helping improve the quality of their lives and reducing the stress and anxiety which can arise from the pain experience (Maclellan, 2004). Pain management is primarily carried out with the use of pharmacological remedies, however, non-pharmacological remedies have also been recommended for these patients. The nurses in this case are usually the primary healthcare professionals managing patients because nurses are assigned to patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They carry out doctor’s orders, including pharmacological interventions and remedies, as well as implement independent nursing interventions (Manias, et.al., 2005). These nurses administer due pain medications and sometimes may refer the patients for increased dosage and frequency of pain medications. The observation of these patients before, during, and after the administration of powerful opioids is also incumbent upon the nurses who are obligated to note possible adverse reactions to the medications and possible unstable vital signs before, during, and after the administration of the opioids. The implementation of non-pharmacological nursing interventions is also part of the duties of the nurses.  These interventions may include music therapies, guided imagery, simple massage, and other related interventions.

SBAR Nursing Assignments Help

Effective communication is at the heart of excellent patient care and successful nursing practice. For nursing students, mastering the SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) model is a key component of both clinical and academic success. By organizing patient information in a clear and structured manner, SBAR ensures that critical details are conveyed efficiently, leading to improved patient outcomes and better teamwork.

Why SBAR is Essential for Nursing Assignments

Clarity and Precision: SBAR helps nursing students present patient information clearly and precisely, which is crucial for writing comprehensive assignments and case studies. This structured approach minimizes the risk of overlooking important details and helps ensure that all necessary information is included.

Enhanced Analytical Skills: Utilizing SBAR in assignments sharpens your analytical skills by requiring you to assess patient conditions critically and make informed recommendations based on your findings. This process builds your ability to think critically and make sound clinical judgments.

Improved Collaboration: Effective communication with healthcare teams is fundamental in nursing. SBAR fosters better collaboration by providing a standardized method for sharing patient information, which enhances teamwork and coordination in clinical settings.

Academic Excellence: Demonstrating proficiency in SBAR in your assignments can significantly enhance your academic performance. Well-organized SBAR reports and case studies showcase your understanding of clinical communication and your ability to handle complex patient scenarios.

Examples of SBAR in Nursing Assignments

Chronic Disease Management: Use SBAR to communicate a patient’s progress with chronic diseases, including their current condition, relevant background, assessment findings, and recommendations for ongoing care or treatment adjustments.

Acute Medical Conditions: In cases involving acute medical conditions, SBAR helps in quickly conveying the situation, providing essential background, assessing the urgency, and recommending immediate actions or interventions.

Post-Operative Care: Apply SBAR to discuss post-operative patient conditions, including key details about the surgery, the patient’s recovery status, any complications, and recommendations for further care or follow-up.

Patient Safety Issues: When addressing patient safety concerns, SBAR allows you to present the issue clearly, provide background information, assess the potential impact, and recommend actions to mitigate risks and ensure patient safety.

Clinical Updates: Use SBAR for regular clinical updates to provide a concise summary of patient progress, changes in condition, and any new recommendations for care.

¶ … Tapentadol IR for Acute Pain Is Associated With Improved Gastrointestinal Tolerability Compared to Oxycodone IR. Medical News Today. 11 May 2008. Retrieved Feb 1, 2009 at http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/107002.php Nurses treating patients for acute pain need to be aware of contraindications, patient allergies, and the differences between pharmaceutical pain interventions. The Food and Drug Administration recently approved a new pharmaceutical called Tapentadol. Tapentadol is administered orally and has been proven to induce fewer side effects in patients than comparable pain medications while providing the same quality of relief. The drug is especially effective in treating lower back pain and osteoarthritis, two conditions nurses will commonly encounter. Nurses should be aware of the potential for Tapentadol to help alleviate acute (from moderate to severe) pain in patients who also suffer from gastrointestinal distress as well. Tapentadol is currently manufactured in immediate release (IR) and extended release (ER) tablets. Recent research compared the effects of Tapentadol with oxycodone IR and found that the former caused significantly fewer gastrointestinal side effects including nausea, vomiting, constipation, or a combination thereof. Moreover, the drug was tolerated well after several weeks of administration. As a new generation of pain relief medications, Tapentadol should be added to any nurse's lexicon of pharmaceuticals. The drug will also be available in extended relief formulas for patients with more chronic pain concerns. Initially developed by German pharmaceutical company Grunenthal, Tapentadol is distributed and manufactured in the United States by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development (J&JPRD), L.L.C. Both Grunenthal and J&JPRD supported the phase 3 clinical research. The study was double blind and randomized, using a large population sample. Therefore, the research offers reliable data supporting the emerging medication. The sample included 878 patients with low back pain or pain from osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. Patients were randomly assigned to Tapentadol or control drug oxycodone and took their medications for 90 days Doses for Tapentadol were flexible with either 50 or 100 mg offered every 4 to 6 hours, up to a maximum of 600 mg/day. Instances of nausea, vomiting, and constipation were significantly lower in the Tapentadol group vs. The oxycodone group. Doses were flexible and mimicked real life administrations of the medications. However, the control group was given 10 mg or 15 mg of oxycodone IR every four to six hours. The lack of standardization of doses and the flexible administration of the drugs compromise the reliability and validity of the study. Nurses should also take note that rates of other side-effects such as drowsiness and dizziness did not differ between the two groups. Tapentadol is especially effective for patients experiencing chronic pain but who cannot tolerate the gastrointestinal side-effects of oxycodone or other pain relief medications. No other side effects were investigated in the current research. Nurses need to keep abreast of new pharmaceutical interventions that can help improve patient well-being. Tapentadol is one promising new addition to the pain relief medicine cabinet. Back pain, osteoarthritis, and other causes of both chronic and acute pain are not isolated conditions. Many patients also react strongly to pain medications with gastrointestinal symptoms ranging from nausea to constipation. Tapentadol promises to offer strong and immediate pain relief with a minimum number and minimal severity of side effects. Read the full article
