Foci, Prioritization:
What priorities drove your ability to facilitate care this week?
This week I was only in the PACU for one day and that day I was assigned the team lead role. My priorities while in that role included floating around where I was needed, providing care for not only the patient assigned to myself and my coassign, but also giving a helping hand to my fellow classmates when it was appropriate. I felt appreciated and I felt equally appreciative towards my classmates as I was able to see my role as the student in a different light. I found myself taking mental notes of how my classmates implemented care and interacted with their patients. This gave me ideas of how to improve my own care. I feel that being in a smaller group and in an open room where we were all able to see each other going through the same experience gave us all a boost in confidence. In previous CPR entries I have talked about my own problems with confidence and I feel that being in the PACU assigned as the team lead facilitated in addressing my personal priority of becoming more assertive.

What information (assessment data, policies, EBP) did you need in order to individualize care for your client this week? …show more content…

I knew after I saw the first signs of blood seeping through the dressing that I needed to assess the abdomen by palpating lightly for distention, and by marking the drainage. I was assessing the dressing every 5 minutes and marking the drainage. I was also keeping a watchful eye on the VS. By this time I had discovered the distention and notified the charge nurse who then contacted the HCP. Since I marked the dressing and put a time on it each time, I was able to provide the HCP with an accurate timeline of events. Without the focused abdominal assessment, the situation could have gone a different way. I feel proud of my

So now that he was unable to get IV access, he had to obtain an intraosseous infusion (IO). Upon insertion of the IO, you could hear the drill perforate through the tibia. Through the access, Narcan was administered. The advance support provider then took over to establish an advanced airway.

I also think that I promoted social justice by treating every patient the same regardless of background. Another outcome was to demonstrate competency in critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and clinical judgment. I believe this learning outcome was crucial in the senior sophomore experience as well since it was most of the 1st semester students’ first time ever caring for a patient. When assisting the students with ambulating some of their patients, I used critical thinking and clinical judgment to determine if we had all of the

Ask the client there likes and dislikes and there goals for their future this will become the start of your care plan. 1.6 Describe the key features of different styles of person-centred planning and the contexts in which they are most useful?

This learning actively greatly assisted in building my confidence, which I required in order to be successful in the new graduate RN role. Good collaborative working relationships are based on clear communication and collaboration with the patient and all members of the healthcare team. (Kieft, et al. 2014 ) This semester I had no issues with regards to speaking with physicians and other members of the healthcare team, and I continued to actively participated and contributed to daily rounds on all 3 critical care units.

Patient centred care is a vital aspect in the care of the older adult. The World Health Organization states that 65 years is the definition of the older person (WHO 2009). “Over the past decades, there has been a steady increase in life expectancy, mainly due to improvements in sanitation and infectious disease control through vaccination and antibiotics” (An Bord Altranais, 2009) – The older generation are growing older. As the older population is increasing every year, it is therefore important to ensure that the older adult is being cared for rightfully and to the highest possible standards with a focus on patient centred care. “People centred care is focused and organized around the health needs and expectations of people and communities

As I progress in my career, I feel that it is important to develop a personal style and technique that clients can relate to. I am also interested in learning more about assessments and evaluations as they drive the rehabilitation plan. While I have assessed hundreds of clients, I realize that there is more to learn. For instance, the trend over the next five years will be an increase in applicants who receive state-plan home and community based services. The Final Rule issued by The Center for Medicare and Medicaid will require that individuals receive services in the most integrated settings.

The last three clinical weeks at the Long Term Care Facility have provided me with real life situations to enforce the SILC clinical skills and improve my therapeutic communication. This experience has helped shaped me as a professional by allowing me to develop essential skills that contribute to the holistic care of nursing. A significant improvement that I developed following this experience included my assessment skills during every resident interaction. During these resident encounters, I began to address the resident’s overall well-being and comfort rather than just the current problem. I started incorporating questions about pain, how the resident slept at night, their current mood, and many other questions addressing the resident’s status as a whole.

I was able to create better therapeutic communication skills, pick up on the patient’s ticks, learn how to assess for triggers, etc. I will use this in the future because I will come in contact with patients who suffer from a mental illness on any floor I work on. They may not as serious as some of the patients I worked with on this clinical rotation, however, it is still important, as a nurse, to recognize and address mental health issues with patients. I also learned just how important self-care for nurses is. It doesn’t take long for nurses to begin to feel burnt out and lose passion in what they do.

Through this initial assessment, the nurse can obtain information that is crucial in providing the client with effective holistic care. Nursing assessment framework tools are used to help the nurse obtain accurate information about the patient’s wants and needs. This initial assessment based on subjective and objective data, helps to determine the patient’s actual problems and potential problems (Weber & Kelley, 2013). An assessment is carried out to obtain objective data and a physical baseline of the patient on admission.

Today, I am glad I choose nursing because I have overcome my social fears, learn to be a team player, learn how to prioritize and most importantly learned to manage stress. Lastly, I grew as a nurse with each semester because I learned how to respect and treat each patient as a unique individual. I have also learned to put my patient safety as my priority and provide presence because I realized through my clinical experience that, sometimes that all the patients need. Below is the breakdown of how I have developed each semester in nursing school. FALL 2013 • Foundations of Nursing: NUR 2310
