RFP#11292022- Knapp– 22-year-old Male in Newark seeking a Transportation and Nursing provider- PDN Nursing

22-year-old male in Newark is seeking a nursing provider. He enjoys spending time with family, going out into the community (especially the library and Walmart), and loves to listen to country music. It is important for him to be able to get out and interact with the community. It is important for him to remain healthy and active by receiving supports from both his nursing staff and his sister. It is important to him to be given choices on what types of food to eat, but it is important for him to have food cut into bite-sized (quarter-sized) pieces and to be monitored while eating to ensure choking risks are reduced. His health does impact other aspects of his life including his day to day life/personal care and his ability to get around, so this is why it is important for him to eat a well-balanced diet and nutritious meals. His outcomes are to focus on his health and wellness, specifically related to eating a well-balanced diet in order to be healthy enough to venture into the community more often. The best way to communicate with his is through modified sign language, gestures and touch. Specific care will be discussed with the potential nurse during the interview, but some general nursing care needs will include tracheostomy, oxygen administration, nebulizer, pulmonary chest vest, ventilator, and G-tube/Peg tube care, as well as medication administration, and all other day to day care needs (feeding, hygiene, wheelchair transfers). Currently he lives at home with his sister/guardian (she also supports him in every aspect of his life/care needs currently). He also has paid supports through nursing agencies as well. Both his sister and nursing assist him with his nutrition, as he is not able to prepare meals for himself and snacks that he selects have a low nutritional value. When he is eating the right foods to make up a well-balanced diet, he feels better; and when this young man feels good, he is able to get out of the house, be more active, and go places he enjoys. Projected schedule is Mondays from 7am-7pm, Thursdays from 3pm-11pm and Fridays from 3pm-11pm. Funding is through PDN Nursing.
