For the Technical Communications Rhetorical Analysis assignment, I have reviewed two instructional documents. The first document is an instructional document for patientsreceiving steroid pulse therapy for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and the effect of instruction on patient knowledge by Yu-Chu Pai who works for BioMed Central Ltd. The second document is also a letter about blood transfusion errors by American Society of Registered Nurses. The purpose of this memo is to outline the similarities and differences that I have discovered during my rhetorical analysis of these two pieces. I will provide an audience analysis and a situational analysis, along with a discussion of the conventions and appeals of the two project proposal documents.Audience
The purpose of this assignment is to explore the patients lived experience of the altered health status prior to their admission to hospital, I will also discuss the role of the professional nurse in meeting some of the needs of the patient and examine the care give whilst hospitalised. An altered health status can interrupt the patient in numerous ways, and lives can be influenced in social, emotional, physical, spiritual, financial and other ways. It is crucial that a full and accurate assessment is carried out as soon after admission as possible to establish the patient’s previous routines, levels of independence, and health needs, both actual and potential, related to each activity of daily living (Roper et al 2000). It is necessary to consider all these factors to ensure that the patient receives holistic care and is not just treated from a medical point of view. For the purpose of this assignment I will refer to the patient as Mary who’s care I was involved with whilst on placement on a medical ward.
In this paper, I will discuss about patient teaching that I have done as a student nurse at Antelope Valley Hospital on the Medsurg Unit. Some of the teaching are how to promote a productive cough with deep coughing technique, how to use an incentive spirometer, explanation of Thoracentesis procedure, the importance of HbA1C in diabetic management and lastly, teaching of noninvasive technique to help with urinary retention and the use of straight catheterization. Patient teaching is one of the many important elements in nursing care. Nurses provide and teach basic health information pertaining to the patient’s condition and demonstrate important self-care techniques to the patient so that they can independently perform to take care of themselves. With this knowledge, the patient can self-promote their wellbeing.
