If I understand your question correctly, I would say the following psychosocial family issues would affect nursing care:\n\n1. Child/Spouse abuse\n2. Pregnancy in an underage, unemancipated teen\n3. Eating disorder in an underage, unemancipated teen\n4. Alzheimer's disease or senile dementia\n5. Any chronic psychological condition, i.e., schizophrenia, etc.\n6. Any terminal illness

First of all, God bless you for realizing that probably one of the things that your sister needs the most right now is someone who is going to treat her as if she were "normal" again and not baby her. But with that said, you wont forget that she has this disease. What you can do, is let her lead the way. Give her your time and let her decide what to do with it. God bless both of you.

It's good you recognize a problem.  Call your local health department and see if you can get a referral for a parenting class.  A parenting class can teach you stress reduction techniques and give you better tools for managing yourself and your child.  If your job offers health benefits, you might get a referral through your health care provider.  Make that phone call first thing tomorrow morning, okay?

I have tried to list some common problems assosiated with this illness.  Perhaps you can work off that?  I also thought your actual question was excellently phrased and very understandable.  Use that also.\n\n\n•Intense control battles, very bossy and argumentative; defiance and anger\n•Resists affection on parental terms\n•Lack of eye contact, especially with parents - will look into your eyes when lying\n•Manipulative - superficially charming and engaging\n•Indiscriminately affectionate with strangers\n•Poor peer relationships\n•Steals\n•Lies about the obvious\n•Lack of conscience - shows no remorse\n•Destructive to property, self and/or others\n•Lack of impulse control\n•Hypervigilant/Hyperactive\n•Learning lags/delays\n•Speech and language problems\n•Incessant chatter and/or questions\n•Inappropriately demanding and/or clingy\n•Food issues - hordes, gorges, refuses to eat, eats strange things,  hides food\n•Fascinated with fire, blood, gore, weapons, evil\n•Very concerned about tiny hurts but brushes off big hurts....\n\nAttachment is the deep and enduring connection established between a child and caregiver in the first several years of life. It profoundly influences every component of the human condition - mind, body, emotions, relationships and values. Attachment is not something that parents do to their children; rather, it is something that children and parents create together, in an ongoing reciprocal relationship. Attachment to a protective and loving caregiver who provides guidance and support is a basic human need, rooted in millions of years of evolution. There is an instinct to attach: babies instinctively reach out for the safety and security of the "secure base" with caregivers; parents instinctively protect and nurture their offspring. Attachment is a physiological, emotional, cognitive and social phenomenon. Instinctual attachment behaviors in the baby are activated by cues or signals from the caregiver (social releasers). Thus, the attachment process is defined as a "mutual regulatory system" - the baby and the caregiver influencing one another over time. \n\nBeyond the basic function of secure attachment - providing safety and protection for the vulnerable young via closeness to a caregiver - there are several other important functions for children: \nLearn basic trust and reciprocity, which serves as a template for all future emotional relationships. \nExplore the environment with feelings of safety and security ("secure base"), which leads to healthy cognitive and social development. \nDevelop the ability to self-regulate, which results in effective management of impulses and emotions. \nCreate a foundation for the formation of identity, which includes a sense of competency, self-worth, and a balance between dependence and autonomy. \nEstablish a prosocial moral framework, which involves empathy, compassion and conscience. \nGenerate the core belief system, which comprises cognitive appraisals of self, caregivers, others, and life in general. \nProvide a defense against stress and trauma, which incorporates resourcefulness and resilience. \nChildren who begin their lives with the essential foundation of secure attachment fare better in all aspects of functioning as development unfolds. Numerous longitudinal studies have demonstrated that securely attached infants and toddlers do better over time in the following areas: \nSelf-esteem \nIndependence and autonomy \nResilience in the face of adversity \nAbility to manage impulses and feelings \nLong-term friendships \nRelationships with parents, caregivers, and other authority figures \nProsocial coping skills \nTrust, intimacy and affection \nPositive and hopeful belief systems about self, family and society \nEmpathy, compassion and conscience \nBehavioral performance and academic success in school \nPromote secure attachment in their own children when they become adults.\n\nGood Luck

Typical Social Biology problem. I guess the answer would be kids first (always). Between parents and wife probably not as relevant from a social biology point of view and might depend on how much you evaluate the chance of a successful rescue of each (there is no point trying to rescue someone in detriment of someone else if that person has little or no chance of living).

He should check with the state liscense boards for nursing. My state requires approval from the board of nursing for such problems. He also has an advisor with the nursing school he attends, and they will be able to help him find this information.

I doubt very much it has to do with someone else's smoking habits.  You really should get that checked out by a doctor.  A couple of possibilites could be Fibromyalgia or Lupus.  Your mom would probably know if there is a history of these disorders in your family. But definatley have it checked out....Feel better girl.

http://www.mcsurvivors.com My mother has the condition. She is very into all that eastern and alternative medicene, so, she's slowly getting out of it, but it's very much real, despite what is said. There are certain other diseases I don't believe in, but MCS is very real, and can be devastating (and deadly).

Cancer & Cancer\n\nBoth of you are very sensitive, sympathetic and emotional, with moods that shift and change like the tides. Though you may hide behind a shall of equanimity or indifference, you are really very easily hurt and take almost everything personally. You both have deep feelings for, and sentimental attachments to, the past, your home and family, or anything or anyone you once had a close affiliation with (school, home town, friends, etc.). If your backgrounds are very different, this may be more of a problem for you both than it would be to other people, because your identification with your origins is so strong.\n\nBoth of you need to be needed, and desire a very close, secure, loving and protective relationship. Family or domesticity is extremely important to you. Because of your empathy for one another, and your similar temperaments, you blend quite well together.\n\nA sympathetic rapport exists between you which enables you to understand one another's feelings, needs, insecurities, and inner life very well.\n\nBoth of you have a deep need for nurturing relationships, for a sense of family and belonging, and a strong home base. You become very dependent on loved ones for a sense of security and you often smother the people you care about. you have a strong desire to mother or be mothered by your mate.\n\nBecause you are so sensitive, moody, and easily hurt, some people find you difficult to live with, but you find one another quite understanding.\n\nA few problems may arise however. One is that you may reinforce one another's dependencies and weaknesses by babying one another too much, or by clinging to one another when one or both of you really needs to branch out in order to grow. Also, what happens when both of you are feeling vulnerable and needy and want to be babied at the same time? Who will do the parenting? At such times you may both act very childish, like "spoiled brats" in fact!\n\nAlthough you both strive to be responsible, respectful, and dedicated to each other, there is a strong tendency for this relationship to focus TOO MUCH on responsibilities and commitments. Cancer is likely to feel unjustly criticised, frustrated by Cancer's moral and ethical attitudes, and eventually resent the limitations and responsibilities imposed by this relationship. Emotional distance, coolness, indifference to feelings, and a sense of loneliness or oppression can develop between you. To make this relationship work, you both must avoid the tendency to let your sense of responsibility and concern for the other person cause you to try to control your partner's life.\n\nThis relationship is not an easy one! There is a sense of responsibility towards each other that may incline you to marry or form some kind of long-lasting commitment to each other. But although the union is likely to be long-lasting, it is also likely to have more than its fair share of frustrations and difficulties. At times you both feel emotionally constrained and inhibited by being together, and this relationship may feel like a form of imprisonment! or need to dominate Cancer's life. Cancer's emotional needs and feelings are ignored and neglected at times, leaving Cancer feeling alone in this relationship. Most likely there is too much emphasis on responsibilities and obligations and not enough attention given to the needs for acceptance and tenderness. The serious tone of the relationship also stifles play and light-hearted fun-loving activities. This relationship may endure even when your feelings towards one another have cooled because there is a great deal of security in it, even if there is little satisfaction over time.\n\nThe passionate, deliciously amorous feelings you arouse in one another initially are destined always to be an important "glue" in your relationship. This powerful drive you feel toward one another will be hard to ignore, and it is unlikely the two of you will ever be "just

Not that I've ever heard of. That is very uncommon and very wrong. This woman needs some intense therapy and so does her brother. The problems do most likely stem from the abuse they observed and/or suffered as children. Think about it--when you see something going on as a kid, you don't know it's wrong; it just is what it is. You think that's the way it should be. Sounds like this woman and her brother are maybe stuck in that thought pattern, although one would think that by now they would see it thru adult eyes and realize it's not normal. But for whatever reason, they don't see it that way. They need some serious counseling to dig thru the mountain of misconceptions, guilt, and sexual and emotional dysfunctions. I hope they can get this soon.

It is her job....as a retired RN, I can tell you, nurses get very stressed by extremely demanding/noncompliant patients [which your dad apparently is]...the one thing you could do, if it's financially feasible, is to hire a sitter, so he won't be on the nurses' backs so much, but if you can't, it is, after all their jobs....If he had been a parent that wasn't so difficult earlier in life, I'd say you owe him one, but by the sounds of things, you really have gone beyond the call....do not buy into any of the guilt trips people try to send your way....in my eyes, blood is NOT thicker than water!  Take care of your own self, honey...people like your dad can drain every bit life out of you & you do NOT owe him...

My Aunts have this--they are all in their 50's.  None of them were diagnosed with it until they were in their late 40's & early 50's.  They are all 3 coping diferently with it as it has affected them each differently.  They all still lead very active lives and don't let it slow them down.  It's a matter of mind over matter--they each make sure they get plenty of rest before and after things that they know will wear them out, are careful about their diets, and have sought the most agressive treatments they can get.  They are all happy in their lives and haven't let the disease control their lives.  They treat it like everything else they've had to deal with in thier lives--it's just another challenge!

It is tough to have a close family member suffering from an illness and it can be uniquely difficult in the case of mental illness.  My father has had bipolar disorder for much of his life and for a very long time he was not diagnosed.  So, your sister is lucky to be on the road to managing her illness and you should be thankful for that, at least.  Although it will probably take quite a while before she finds a treatment system that works for her (medication, counselling, etc.), you should know that you can still have a close and happy relationship with her.  You should also know that you do not need to worry for her.  You should be concerned for her well-being, of course, but if you feel overly worried or overwhelmed, you should perhaps see a doctor.  Personally, I thought for years that it was normal to worry constantly, but it isn't.  If anxiety is regularly interfering with your life, you should seek some medical guidance of your own.

Ahhh...nature versus nurture!  Even the experts cannot say with certainty whether nature and your genetic makeup or your nurturing is what makes up the person. There have been studies done with twins who were raised apart, and found that the twins had MANY things that they did just alike, from little things such as which hand they used to open a letter to bigger things such as they body-type and coloring of the people they fell in love with!  There have also been many studies done as to how poverty, violence, drug/alcohol abuse, sexual/physical abuse and parental abandonment affects children, especially in the birth to age 4 range, and how this shows up in their later life as violence in men and self-abuse in women. So having said all this, I personally feel that it is a combination of both, and sometimes it is neither. There are always the stories of the family who did everything right and still wound up with a drug addicted child or a murderer or rapist on their hands. But if you take a 'normal' family and have them raise a child (by normal I mean average, honest, working, functioning people)you will by and large see differences in that child as compared to a child raised by a disfunctional, abusive, out of control, self-serving family.   Did this answer your question at all?

Yes, you should be worried.  I would talk to your mother, see if she had any flings with a canine, or maybe a bigfoot.  There is a good chance that your sister isn't 100% human.  You should immediately shove her into a cage before her animal instincts kick in and she eats your throat.
