Patient Interaction

That made a difference. As mentioned by Gorman (2008), nurse responds accurately and with empathy to patient. Therefore, all nursing activities such as medication administration, wound dressing changes went smoothly. Therefore, this Patient was satisfied, became less anxious and more

All members must be educated on the different roles and functions of all positions. Tensions, misunderstandings, and conflicts caused by differences of opinions and interests can interfere with effective interdisciplinary communications (Lancaster et al., 2015). While this study was performed in a hospital setting, I wonder if the results would be the same in a clinic? It is not unusual for a physician or an APRN in a clinic to only have a UAP working with them. As patient loads are increasing and providers have less time to interact with the patient, it is essential to include all feedback from the UAP.

What will the doctors tell the family members of the patient? Something like, “We didn’t try to save his or her life because a machine said he or she wouldn’t make it”? That would be absolutely unheard of and completely unethical and many hospitals would have an insane amount of issues from the family members of those patients. Some may say that it allows a more effective use of limited medical resources, due to the fact that the patient would have to go under expensive procedures even though they most likely will not live. Although, every patient should be treated equally no matter their condition because one may never know that they may actually save a life against all odds, it has happened before.

He was flexible, able to work autonomously and alongside the physicians and nurses. I told myself, this is how I would achieve that yearning to do

When you’re working in the operating room, you need to expect a day full of action. That’s just one of the many reasons why surgical techs love their jobs! From the time they clocked in till they leave the hospital, they always carry a sense of purpose in what they are doing. However just like in any other work settings, you cannot avoid circumstances wherein you bump into something you don’t really like. Check out this list about the things surgical technologists

With that being said though, there is also that risk when you are taking out a cancerous tumor out of someone 's brain, so does that mean any brain surgery is unethical? The book says that it is clearly effective in treating unipolar depression, so I think that if the person has full knowledge of all the risks that may occur and still want to do it, let them. We have no idea how awful it is to live like they do. If losing a few memories is the price I have to pay to live a better life and to make better memories, I probably would do

Stage 1. Description Under the heavy workload of nursing care, accidents are easily to cause. It is avoidable for nurse to reduce the accidents by enhancing the quality of care and be awareness on patient safety. During my practicum, there are some incidents that have not fully aware of patient safety on the nursing practice.

As a medical assistant, it is important to act professional, when you are working in medical field. We should always think carefully before you talk about incontinence with patients. Tell the patient not to be embarrassed and be honest, so that we can help them. We need to ensure our patients feel comfortable and confident with themselves. Also as a medical assistant, it is our job to educate the patient by giving them some resources to look up and read.

I want to be a surgical technologist, meaning I will assist with surgery. The patient sees me for a short amount of time, however, in that time I can show love and make that patient feel at ease in their frightened state of mind. Going along with this, I will reverence the unique dignity of each patient. Surgery caters to the patient not the procedure; each patient is different for instanced: one may be overweight, malnourished, or have allergies. All of these are obstacles and are approached with careful consideration of how to keep each unique patient safe.

Three important tools can be recognized; guidelines, protocols and checklists. These tools are aimed to assist the health practitioners to minimize the potential risks and errors that may take place in the practice. However, to apply these tools appropriately, the team should function in a synchronization. For example, in the surgical department, nurses, anesthetist, surgeons, and even medical students can be involved in any operation. Hence, each of them has to know his role very well and also know the right protocol for the current procedure.

In James F. Childress and Mark Siegler’s article, “Metaphors and Models of Doctor-Patient Relationships: Their Implications for Autonomy,” they discuss the types of relationships in healthcare and how those relationships allow the physician and patient to interact to make negotiations. Childress and Siegler say that relationships are either between intimates or between strangers and that when it is between strangers there is a lack of trust because of the way physicians are viewed most days. Because of the way society has turned to rules and regulations and the pluralistic nature of our society, physicians are often viewed as technicians and contractors rather than as parents or friends. Often times people refuse to visit the doctor’s office because there is a lack of trust towards the idea of a physician rather than the physician herself. Health care has become dictated by economics and politics, which are fields people consider to be cold and calculating.
