A. Clinical Strengths & Needs
• Strengths: Today, I began that start to feel like I am perfect certain skills as well as gaining more confidence. It’s amazing how much I have learned and have grown as a future nurse. I’m also beginning to realize how attached I am to my resident; I am constantly assessing to ensure my resident’s health. Objectives I met today were demonstrating professional values of caring and holism; implementing strategies to promote, maintain and restore health; and demonstrating effective clinical decision-making and safety in practice. An example of objective 1 was during a depend change, I noticed my resident had a redness on his right bottom. Since, he had redness on his bottom, I placed a pillow under his right side …show more content…

Even though, my resident has a history of reoccurring redness on his bottom; I reported this observation to the CNA, charge, and wound nurse to make sure they are aware of this occurrence. Like I have mentioned before, I am becoming attached to my resident; it’s my job to ensure he gets the best care. An example of objective 4 was, right as I greeted my resident’s I noticed his oxygen tubes were pressing against his face and his upper lip and that the tubing was starting to leave imprints in his skin. I was concerned that a pressure sore could develop, therefore, I advocated for my resident, and asked the charge nurse for something to relieve the pressure. I was given foam pads to place on the tubes that go behind my resident’s ear. This significantly relieved the pressure off of his skin; which was extremely rewarding. I enjoy advocating for my resident; I believe everyone deserve the best care. Advocating for a resident is an important factor that results in the resident receiving the best care. Lastly, an example of objective 5, was when transferring my resident to the dining hall, I told him to lift his feet while moving his wheel chair. During this this process my resident started to drag his feet; leaned forward and

  • Strengths-Based Care Analysis

    From the words of Robin Williams, playing the character Patch Adams “You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you'll win, no matter what the outcome” (Farrell & Shadyac, 1998). This quote encompasses the concept of strengths-based care, as Adams recognizes that one cannot holistically aid an individual when focusing on their deficits. While this concept has only been accepted recently, Myra Bennett, a renowned nurse, had been implementing segments of strengths-based care over 90 years ago. After examining and explaining the theoretical approach of strengths-based care, I will illustrate how the unique stories of Myra Bennett influenced the notion of care that I hold.

A nurse’s ability to give quality care to their patient is an important aspect to a patient’s life both now and in the future.
