1. What errors did you see in protecting the patient’s privacy? There were several errors done on protecting patient’s privacy. Firstly, when Mildred soaked her bed, nurse shouted loudly asking for the clean bed sheet saying that the patient had soaked herself which is extremely embarrassing to her. Secondly, nurses were not taking any kind of permission from patient before changing her clothes. They were not showing any kind of respect to the patient and acted like as if she was taken for granted. While changing her clothes, the doctor in charge unveiled the curtain abruptly without caring for the patient’s privacy. 2. Other than errors in communication, several safety concerns were presented. Give examples of some of those safety concerns. …show more content…
I would maintain the patient’s privacy. I would instruct the cleaning worker to keep the floor dry every time. I would make sure that every examination and reviews were done prior to surgery. I would check the patient’s record carefully before administering drug. I would confirm patient’s sensitiveness to any kind of allergic reaction and consult with doctors if needed. 4. After watching this video, what do you need to change about the way you will approach patient care? In the video, nurses were not interacting properly with patients. When nurses first approach the patient, they must not be in hurry and take enough time in interacting with patient and recording their medical history and issues. I would console patients that they will be fine and our clinical team will take better care of them. Before performing any procedure, I would explain what I am going to do and ask for their permission every time. 5. If you were planning the care of this patient write one priority nursing diagnosis, with a patient goal, and interventions, that would address the safety needs of
d) Setting out procedures When setting out for procedure its done in two stages in our practice. First is initial setting of the instruments and materials before patient enter room. All (chair, spittoon, work tops...) is wipe down with disinfectant wipes and then set up instrument tray with some cotton wool rolls, articulation paper and 3 in 1 tip on little table on the side the chair handy for clinician. This table is moveable and can be set in desirable position. Hand pieces and local anaesthetic syringe with needle are place on the stationary table in the reach of clinical in the case she may need them.
Theses steps are imperative to maintaining the patient’s privacy. When disclosing
Secondly, I used safety during medication administration. My preceptor and I would pull up one patient at a time when taking out medications. I also
LP 7 Assignment: Patient Confidentiality I would be sure to tell Ms. Morry that I understand her concern about having her problems made public, but would also assure her that all calls and information are kept extremely confidential. I would explain that it is important to have information about these problems, and any subsequent treatment, recorded in her chart and why. It is crucial to the continuity of care, and coordination among providers. If a physician at my clinic prescribed a sleeping medication, and then she went to another clinic, it is important that she not be prescribed something that reacts with the previous medication. It is also vital to have information about her drug and alcohol problems document, as treatment can
Hospital National Patient Safety Goals include: a) identify patients correctly, b) improve staff communication, c) use medicines safely, d) use alarms safely, e) prevent infection, d) identify patient safety risks, and, e) prevent mistakes in surgery (National Patient Safety Goals, 2016). Preventing and reducing the risk of healthcare-associated infection is one of the major concern in an in-patient setting. Patients
Part D: Training needs identification research Explore the range of opportunities there are for providing the training to staff e.g. in house training, coaching and mentoring, external training, etc. You should explore at least one external opportunity and construct an email that you might send to an external training provider seeking information about the training. Your email must be written clearly and respectfully. Include a copy of the email as an appendix to the one page report as indicated below. (Students please provide detailed explanation for the following options) • Cross-training: training in 2 fields at the same time to improve proficiency levels in areas such as being a supervisor in the production process and cross checking any
the why we approach patients in a certain way. Look forward to broadening my knowledge base, learning theory behind nursing and approaching patients in a different way. When caring out orders and discharging patients today I'm thinking of the learning style and
As nurses we establish a bond with our patients and we want to help them as much as we can, so obtaining consent from a patient and making sure
Aspects that participated in the violation of ethical and legal rights that were associated with the occurrence were addressed. The circumstances concerning Nurse X serve as an illustration of the infringement on ethical and legal standards in the field of nursing in Australia (Nursing Standards, 2017). The initial point to be addressed pertains to the violation of ethical standards, specifically the principle of non-maleficence, in the present scenario (Dowie, 2017). This concept urges nurses to abstain from causing their patients any harm and to take all precautions required to prevent patients from experiencing any adverse effects.
The parents were justifiably distraught and requested a meeting with the CEO of the hospital. The CEO was deeply upset and stopped dress down day. He did not want to chance another encounter like that could happen again. Patients rely heavily on their healthcare providers to guide them through the medical process. Professional dress will help to establish trust between the patient and the health care provider.
3.2 Outline the procedures to be followed if an accident or sudden illness should occur. The procedure to follow in the event of an accident would be that I would record all of the details about the incident & report/relay them to the ward manager who will then go on to notify other people. In the event of someone having a cardiac arrest, if I was the first person on the scene I would activate my alarm to make sure there are more staff available to help. 3.3 Explain why it is important for emergency first aid tasks only to be carried out by qualified first aiders.
These mistakes include the nurse’s public announcement of the issue, Sue’s access of the chart to discover information about the patient’s diagnosis,

During my first clinical shifts in this rotation, I noticed that one of my weakness when communicating with patients is knowing how to use therapeutic skills. I believe that sometimes I get anxious that I will say the wrong thing, but I know that as a nurse that it will definitely happen because everyone makes mistakes. I know that throughout time and the more I engage with patients that I will learn how to use therapeutic skills to empathize with patients. This is key because it helps me build a connection with patients by focusing on the patient’s point of view. In
The circulating nurse also initiated the time-out. During the time-out, the circulating nurse said the patient’s name, the surgery that the patient was getting, and the limb in which the surgery was being performed on. The other health care professionals agreed that it was the right patient, right site, and right procedure. Throughout the surgery the circulating nurse continued to ensure the safety of the patient by watching the surgical staff and making sure that the sterile field was not contaminated. This nurse’s role also included gathering materials for the surgeon, throwing away trash, and keeping the environment comfortable for the staff.
