Reflection On Clinical Experience

Reflection of clinical experience The FCC core concepts were applied throughout my day, I was open and honest with the mother and father regarding any information I provided to her about the infant or herself. I encouraged participation with care of the infant, only if they felt comfortable. No judgements were placed on the knowledge they already had, as I respected the skills they had and built on those skills in hopes the parents would feel more confident in their parenting approach. I felt like a lack of FCC concept of respect and dignity was lost from the primary care nurse, which assumed and judged immediately. The father showed an enthusiasm to learn how to care for his infant. This was a helpful promotor, during bath time. I first …show more content…

She expresses a concern for hurting her baby, while holding or picking him up. I took the opportunity to teach proper technique for protecting the neck in newborns. I assured her that she was not going to hurt the baby and as long as you protect the neck the baby would be safe in her arms. The mother portrayed a lack of self-esteem, when asked if she wanted to hold baby skin to skin, which it understandable, she is sixteen and most women would be uncomfortable baring their breasts to a stranger while they put their naked baby on them. I took this opportunity to teach the parents about the benefit of skin to skin, which I suggested before the bath because of a lower temperature reading with the infant. After hearing of the benefits the mother agreed to try skin to skin, when I came back to check the temperature of the infant the mother was smiling and enjoying her baby. This was the first time I saw the mother with a smile. She did not want me to take the baby for a bath. I told her I would come back in a while to check in. The best part of my day with this family is when they thanked me for my help and for taking the time to show them how to care for their baby. The father expressed gratitude as they both did not encounter good experiences with nurses during their stay. I felt really sad when I heard this, because I could have been someone who did not give them the time and information

The nurse approached Nao Kao about the situation, but he/she explained in the charting that it was “…difficult due to communication barrier” (p. 43). Because of this miscommunication, Lia fell out of her crib, and the father’s trust was impaired. Also, the nurses acted on Lia’s fall by secluding her in her crib with a net. This occurrence could have been handled much differently if the nurse responded to the family’s needs by getting a translator involved. The translator could have given the family a bigger perspective on why they were isolating Lia to her crib.

According to Erickson’s psychosocial theory of development, Eloise enters the play stage, in which she is able to gain initiative and independence (Shaffer, 2012,p.42). On the contrary, if her initiatives are ineffective through denunciation, Eloise is capable of experiencing a sense of guilt (Engler, 2013,p.145; Jennifer et al, 2014, p.57). While on the other hand, Franklin enters the final stage of adulthood and reflects back at life with either a sense of integrity or despair over unfulfilled ambitions (Shaffer, 2012, p.42). Thus, the nursing staff must consider the patient’s age and developmental factors when delivering nursing care. Maintaining skin integrity for Eloise and Franklin is crucial to prevent skin tears, pressure ulcers,

How come my mother had been able to successfully soothe the baby, while I had tried my best and he had continued crying? Was the baby rejecting me? My mother may have sensed what was going on in my mind, and she began telling me stories of how I was a stubborn baby, and it seemed I cried for no reason (Hahn, 2016). She assured me that it was going to get better with time, that I was going to get the hang of it eventually and I would remember days such as these and laugh them off because of how I had gotten so worked up over what I can term as being essentially

The husband thought abortion would be a better choice; however, the young women strongly opposed it as she believed that no abortion should be applied in any circumstances. My supervisor explicated the outcome for both procedures and emphasized the potential burden for the family to raise a baby with anencephaly with short projected lifespan, and the young women insisted to keep the baby. Though knowing all the difficulties medically and emotionally, my supervisor gave the best care he could to the young women, and she had a successful delivery. I started to realize that professionalism was not only about what might be “the best” choice clinically but also about what might be the most respectful way for the patient. Studying medicine may be a challenging process for everyone, and maintaining professionalism throughout the practice would not be easy; however, I believe, with the influence of great role model, training and practicing in clinical professionalism would for sure assist me in facing further challenges in my future medical

With all the new developments in both technology and society, one could argue that we are on the cusp of another renaissance. The first Renaissance was a series of changes that occurred because of changing views of religion and the world. Some of these changes included the ability to gain information more easily than before, a changing set of societal views, and styles of art changing. Similar to the first Renaissance, it is now the case that people are able to access information quickly without any special privilege. Another example of this is how society has changed dramatically since the first Renaissance.

The arrival of a new baby, especially the first always marks a new beginning for a mother. It comes with a lot of challenges more so if the mother is less knowledgeable about baby care. Take such as cleaning the baby for the first time, or feeding, it is not easy. The baby is still fragile and slippery and needs a special care.
