Nvq Level 3 Unit 3 Health And Social Care

629 Words3 Pages

Project 3 As a health care professional, you will be with people at the beginning of their life, when they are born, and with them at the end of their life, when they pass away. You will see people as they are born and as they pass away. Because you will be exposed to these areas of life and the individuals themselves you must be comfortable and able to remain professional during these circumstances. While speaking to someone who you know is passing away would be difficult and sad I am comfortable doing it. Truthfully I would not want to be the one to tell a patient they are dying. If it is part of my responsibility I will do it the best of my ability. I believe I would tell the patient in a gentle voice and stay with them as they process the news. If the patient is upset, I would offer them any knowledge I have and sit with them until they have calmed down. As …show more content…

Death is a part of life and while my patients are alive I would like to be a friend to them that way while they are alive they are as happy as they can be and I will know that I did everything I can to help them while they were alive. I think that not becoming attached to patients is a cowardly thing to do and selfish because they may need someone to talk to or ask questions to and if you are not there for them then you are not doing your job to the best of your abilities. While it would be sad being around a dying person it would not be uncomfortable. At that point I do not think my comfort matters. All my efforts should be turned towards that individual. I would hope that I would put my own wishes aside and my comfort and focus on the patient at hand. During this time, I do believe that I would reflect on the fact that one day I too will die but it would not cause me to be sad. It is a fact that we are all born and we will all die. It is nothing to

  • Analysis Of Final Gifts By Maggie Callahan And Patricia Kelley

    999 Words  | 4 Pages

    This summer I was assigned Final Gifts by Maggie Callahan and Patricia Kelley. Both authors worked as hospice nurses and were able to share their thirty-three years of first- hand experiences and knowledge with us to help better our understanding of the special awareness’s, needs, and communications of the dying. The book focuses profoundly on the physical, metaphysical, and psychological traits the dying encounter weeks or days before death. Both Kelley and Callahan are experts at observing every little behavior of the sick and being able to pinpoint specific signs that mean death is approaching. Not only does this book concentrate on the sick and their needs, but it also fits in the families and their duties in such hard times.

    Now I am old enough to know that death is not the end, but it is the beginning of a new life. We have to submit our lives to God and ask him for the strength to move forward. Worldview about life after death will largely determine how the patient and families welcome death. Now, as a Christian nurse, I can see death in the light of the resurrection of Jesus Christ (GCU, 2015). If I can help the family members to go through this traumatic experience and the grieving process, my Christian calling as nurse will be

    Death, facing it can paralyze people with so much fear, anxiety, and/or regret that they lose sight of the life still left ahead of them. Death is something that everyone has to face, and sometimes we forget to look at the needs of others, or even our own needs, when death is near. Introduction to Health Communication showed me the amazing work that San Diego Hospice does for people, and has given me a new path to follow in life so I can one day work in a hospice to bring peace to those that may feel that they are at their lowest. Working at a hospice will have its own challenges that I am willing to face because compassion and caring is what we need more of in the world today. I will first explain how uncertainty affects patients at a hospice, then I will examine the problems the caregivers and the patients

  • Family's Presence During Resuscitation

    325 Words  | 2 Pages

    In regards to the family, seeing their loved one be resuscitated may be a traumatic experience. In the event that the family member was to faint during the occurrence nurses would have to divert their attention away from the current patient and also provide care to the family member. This could mean the difference in the patient surviving or not, and therefore would negatively affect the patient. The family member also would be at risk for PTSD in the event that they witnessed their loved one die traumatically. As for the nurse, having the family present increases stress on the nurse which could also affect the patient’s outcome.

    Quiet time for prayer, reading material, tapes/CDs, church bulletins, newspapers, and visits from parishioners and clergy provide a sense of connectedness. It is important to recognize the patient, even those who suffer from terminal illness, as living, not merely dying. Providing the patient and family members with updates regarding the patient’s Plan of Care provides the patient and family members with a sense of empowerment, control, and inclusion in the treatment process. Do a life review with the patient and encourage family members to reminisce with the patient. Reflection on the meaning and values can widen a patient’s perspective of life, death, and outcome of present circumstances.

    Morals and common sense also have a play in whether to use palliative sedation. I think the fear of legal action from the family stops many medical doctors from using sedation. My personal back story of when my Aunt had a disease where she couldn’t fend for herself anymore; she couldn’t wash herself, she couldn’t feed herself nor do anything that a normal person could do. She eventually was hospitalized for months and was always in pain. I killed me and my family to know that there wasn’t anything for us to do about how she was feeling.

I say no. I firmly believe that this is wrong and you are only prolonging their suffering. Euthanasia is what I believe is the right thing to do in these cases if the sick person would rather go that route.

  • How To Stay On The Freeway

    Honestly, this is a situation that I would love to avoid because there is nothing but crying and sadness. In my culture, when someone is dying, others are in state of denial which is the reason why they don 't pull the plug on the person dying until the doctor says there is nothing he can do anymore. When my grandma was dying, one of my uncles refused to accept the fact that she was dying and my aunt (his sister) wanted to pull the plug on her which frightened my uncle heavily. So he stayed with grandma the entire time because he feared that when he wasn 't there, my aunt was going to tell the doctor to pull the plug on my grandma. When my grandma succumbed, my family was full of grief and regret which made the healing process much slower.
