I communicated with the patient’s, my preceptor, other nurses, the PCT’s, PT, and the kitchen staff. When I was in the patient’s room I was sure to explain what I was doing, and answer any questions the patients had about their plan of care. I worked with my preceptor throughout the shift, asking questions, clarifying orders, clarifying medications, procedures and more. I communicated with other nurses by thoroughly receiving and handing off report. I communicated with the PCT’s that I would perform the vital signs for my patients and worked with the PCT when my patient needed labs to be sent down.
With the use of these examples and many other important aspects, this essential part of nursing will be able to be practiced (Kanchana &
I discovered the importance of empathy and understanding as the patients were very frightened and by listening to them, I found I was able to put their mind at ease and give them a more positive medical experience. I was able to speak to both the surgeon and anaesthetist and learnt the immense commitment involved however being able to improve lives was rewarding. I established that nurses play a soothing role for the patient in their whole journey and found their
CLINICAL ETHICAL DECISION MAKING: THE FOUR TOPICS APPROACH Ethics in itself means the knowledge field which deals with morals and its principles. Hospitals are very necessary for the lives on earth. As hospitals cannot be accessed on every path therefore clinics are made. Our government has really put an effort for the health of its citizens. Clinical ethics means the morals that must be followed by each and every member present there may it be the organization or the patients’ in it.
As each patient case is presented and treated by the physician, he solidifies his personal technique, his reputation and his leadership among
Therefore, to have effective nursing care, I will undertake 4 discharge patients, 1 low care patient and 2 postoperative patient; distribute 1 low care patient and 2 discharge patient to another RN; allocate 3 low care patients and 2 postoperative patients to the EN; and assign 6 postoperative patients to AINs. We do not need to pay much attention on 4 low care patients, because they have either has surgery on a previous day or are about to have surgery on a future day, which means we can concentrate on caring postoperative patient and doing patient discharge plan, as well as EN and AINs can take patient loads with too much
Clinical Decision Rules are a set of guidelines for clinicians to evaluate the need for radiographs avoiding unnecessary radiation exposure and ruling out the possibility of fracture. It is important to mention that before Clinical Decision Rules were established most patients were exposed to radiographs many of them getting negative reports and costing unneeded time and money. In addition of those three important Clinical Decision Rules ‘benefits, we cannot forget the opportunity provided by them for consistency in care. I intend to discuss the Clinical Decision Rules for the knee/ankle/foot applicable to the pediatric population.
Talk about what went well in the scenario. I perform vitals sings and communicated effectively with Mr. Ahmed. I educated the patient in areas such as dehydration, fall risks, intake and ouptup measurements. In addition, I administer oral and intravenous medication to ensure proper drug
Dr. Jean Watson’s theory of care addressed the nurse to patient ration, according to the method “nursing is positioned with caring of the sick, prevention of sickness, restoration of health and promotion of health. This process includes the process of assessment, plan, intervention, and evaluation. On the review, the nurse observes, identifies, review problem(s) and forms a care plan that will be used in appropriate nursing care. When the nurse to patient ratio is low, the nurse will not be able to perform this assessment. This will result in a reduction of patients’ outcomes, medical errors, frequent re-admissions, patient deaths.
There are few leadership strategies that can be used to re-energize the workforce; such as: 1. Participative Theory is an ideal leadership style that takes into consideration the input of its associates. Leaders are encouraged to involve staff and all group members, so they know that their contributions and participations are important, and they have the right to say no to any suggestion. 2. Situational Theories propose that leaders choose the best course of action based upon situational variables.
Each patient represents a specific case who has different background, personality, preference and conditions. Thus, it is important for practitioner to learn from each patient and document it for future reference. Scene
During a clinical shift, I would be responsible for providing care to patients with malignant hematological diseases, completing pertinent assessments and teaching skills, such as how to care for the mouth when experiencing mucositis and how to avoid infections. Self-reflection on Professional Practice All nurses registered in the general and extended classes are required to complete their self-Assessment every year. Self-Assessment is a self-directed, two-part process that results in a learning plan (CNO self assessment 2018). Through the process of self-assessment, you identify your areas of strength and learning needs (CNO
According to Patterson & Krouse (2015), It is important to transfer the message in a good way, for that the communication skills is one of the most important basic skills of nursing leadership. More than that, communication in nursing can make their job efficiently and help them to communicate with a wide range of people, including the patient, patient 's family, and healthcare providers. However, unlike bad communication, which increases nursing staff problem and can lead to worsening the patient health condition, a good communication saves time and reduces the problem of nursing staff in resaving and deliver the right information. Furthermore, communication is not only talking with the patient it’s also listening to what the patient 's family and healthcare providers are saying to collect more information that helps the nurses to save lives. In this paper, I will reflect my communication that goes well with one patient.
“First impressions are powerful and rich sources of information about other people, and studies have demonstrated that they predict performance in numerous domains.” (Ambady & Rosenthal, 1993) I always considered myself to be highly intelligent, conscientious, psychologically well-adjusted, and accurate in my overall judgments; however, I embarrassingly admit, a time when my personality judgment of hiring a candidate for employment based on religious inferences was an epic mistake. Debra (pseudonym) was the target of my judgment and charisma was the trait that I thought I could judge with some degree of accuracy. Many Christian leaders wrestle with whether they should hire Christians in their workplace. In 1 Corinthians 5 Paul wrote, “I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister in Christ but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunk or a swindler.
