Foster Mom Case Study
Foster Mom, Kayla Jennings (15843 FM 1567W Cumby TX 75433) picked Gerimiah up from respite provider, Tammy Etheridge (104 Milligan St. Sulphur Springs TX 75482), today at around 1pm. Tammy voiced concerns for Gerimiah’s breathing and told her it appeared very rapid and unusual. Foster Mom observed Gerimiah’s breathing and felt that, although she had been told that rapid and heavy breathing was normal for a premature baby by the CPS caseworker, since the respite provider had concerns she was insecure about his medical status. Foster Mom, took Gerimiah to the emergency room at the Hunt County Presbyterian Hospital (4215 Joe Ramsey Blvd, Greenville TX). Gerimiah was seen by Dr. Winsteen.

    From the handover received from neonatal registrar, it can be assumed that baby Amira is in respiratory distress. Amira is currently receiving 30% flow-by oxygen at 10 minutes old to maintain oxygen saturation (Sa02) levels of 92%. Although the target Sa02 level at 10 minutes old is between 85-90% (Department of Health and Human Services, 2014) the fact that Amira is still displaying signs of nasal flaring and moderate work of breathing despite receiving flow-by oxygen is concerning. After conducting a brief initial top to toe assessment, weight and length, Amira should be transferred to an incubator for further vital signs, monitoring and observation of her breathing. Amira’s temperature of 35.9°C is also classified as moderately…

    Dr. Bruce D. Perry was invited by the staff of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) to evaluate six year old Justin, who kept on throwing his feces and food at the staff. When Dr. Perry arrived at the PICU, he heard the loud screaming before he found the boy who was obviously malnourished and was wearing a loose diaper while sitting in a cage. The crib looked similar to a dog cage with iron bars and plywood wired to the top. Justin was being treated for severe pneumonia and would fight the staff when they would try to draw blood and he would tire out his IVs. Dr. Perry knew that the more anxious someone is then the harder it is for them to express their true feelings, thoughts, and history. He also knew it is much more difficult to form a positive relationship with a child who is anxious (Perry & Szalavitz, 2009). Instead of rushing in to question Justin, Dr. Perry wants to give him the opportunity to meet him and let him have control.…

    I hate my foster mama, and so does many other people. She is way too violent all the time: “She possessed the unique ability to aggravate almost anyone she ever met” (Zusak 35). She has a temper issue. When she cannot control her temper, she usually beats me with a wooden spoon. Also, she swears too much. I have had no idea that… certain words existed until she would not stop using them. Because of her, I can swear fluently in German and English. Some adults might say, “What’s so bad about swearing?” Sure it is okay for adults to swear, but I am ten. Why is it a good idea to let a ten-year-old girl know how to swear fluently in two languages?

    When taking a look at all of the social issues we face in our society, it is child welfare and the foster care system that engrosses me the most. This issue has been near and dear to my heart for a very long time and is the reason I decided to go into social work. Growing up with an Aunt who raised and adopted foster care children allowed me to see a lot of issues that I would not have otherwise seen. One of the first issues is the number of children that are in the foster care system. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reported that 402,378 children were living in foster care in 2013. Outside of this enormous number the issues that these children face extend a lot deeper. These issues include but are not limited to depression,…

    Foster Care Essay

    Foster care started in the 1500’s because of the overwhelming number of children without parents and, therefore, homes. The biggest reason there were so many children without guardians was because this was a time when many people had to resort to indentured servitude to survive. There were also many more people dying from now-preventable or now-curable diseases, and when parents died, their kids would join the other orphans in the streets. The number of children on the streets was a problem for many reasons, including moral obligations, excessive thieving problems and the vandalization of homes and businesses. The government had to come up with a way to get these kids off the streets, and their solution was foster care.…
