In relation to caring for this patient I displayed strengths in implementing appropriate nursing actions, adapting to change and communicating effectively with the patient to provide patient centered care; however, I discovered weakness such as, a lack of confidence and patient teachings. I believe that the nursing actions I created for my patient this week were well thought out and my ability to adapt to my patient’s changes and mood to implement my actions greatly improved my patient’s overall health. Comparatively, this patient was my first patient I administered medications to and it was evident that I was nervous when explaining the medication’s purpose and actions. However, since then, with practice and my cheat sheet I feel more confident …show more content…
Smith includes patience, empathy, accountability and positivity. When I initially interacted with my patient he seemed rather grumpy and upset, rather than responding in a similar manner, I took a step back and told myself that, his anger was not directed towards me. By being patient and listening to his concerns I was able to better understand his frustrations and the cause of his unease. Before administering medications to my patient, I researched and looked up their purpose and course of action, when I was unsure I would ask a nurse or my instructor. I also believe that positivity in the presence of a patient is very important because, the hospital is not a place anybody wants to be, especially in Mr. Smith’s situation where he has had to stay for almost a month. It can become depressing and lonely so by being positive it might influence my patient to become more optimistic as well.
Conclusion
In conclusion, getting to know my patient helped me to understand what his current health perception, role relationship and goals were. From the knowledge gained I created my patient-centered provision of care. Furthermore, by learning my patient’s goals and the personal reasons for wanting to achieve those goals I helped motivate him in times of need. This experience has help demonstrated to me the importance and effectiveness of patient-centered care versus the biomedical model of

Motivational interviewing offers an approach to this that is compatible with patient-centred care (Mason, 2008). Nurses use the processes of motivational interviewing in the healthcare setting to ensure the development of a collaborative partnership with the patient and to elicit a behaviour change. Motivational interviewing strengthens personal motivation for change, rather than instructing or warning the patient (Miller et al.,
Each morning patients came in for assessment and the treatment team developed or altered existing treatment protocols. I longed to be part of this team, working to stabilize each patient so they could return home to pursue their goals. The nurses stood out to me as the team members at ground zero in the unit, working directly with patients, and advocating for them in meetings. As a Nurse Practitioner, I will provide this same standard of holistic care to my patients, taking into consideration their biological, social, psychological and cultural needs while developing and implementing treatment decisions.

Working with patient’s that are aggressive can be challenging and even overwhelming at times, making it important of the nurse to self-reflect upon the encountered situation to gain insight and understanding. Being self-aware to one’s own feelings while working with patients and reflecting upon those feelings can benefit a nurse’s practice and care that is provided. As I stood outside the clinic room, I had a lot of nervous energy going because I had no idea what to expect walking into the room and what would happen. I felt hesitant to enter the room which seemed to be a similar response to everyone else as well that was waiting outside their respective doors. As we entered the room I was quite throw off by having the patient sitting on the
Introduction Patient-centered care and cultural competence stem from different platforms, however used together ensures that patients receive the best medical care possible. Beach, Saha and Cooper (2006) noted, “health care that is patient-centered is likely also to be culturally competent, and culturally competent care is likely to be patient-centered” (p.4). Patient-centered care was implemented in US in the 1960s with the goal of changing the way physicians and nurses deal with patients on an individual basis. Comparison between Patient-Centered Care and Cultural Competence Patient-centered care involves “understanding the patient as a unique person, exploring the patient’s experience of illness, finding common ground regarding treatment through

She also talked about how to ensure that resident has taken their medication because it is important to know their health. Through her speech, she constantly talked about the patient has the right to refuse treatment and service. Mrs. Irene tone was precise and fairly formal. She made everyone, especially I get to know the basic rule of administering medication. Furthermore, she emphasized that a nurse can not give a whole medication to a patient without a doctor's Order.
What I learned from this movie that will impact my practice as a nurse is to never assume that a client who holds the same profession, smart, or a scholar is able to comprehend their own diagnosis or treatment plan so quickly. Regardless of anyone’s position, we should inform the client about their health conditions and treatment plan with great sensitivity and respect. I felt that the client was not given enough time to think about her decision regarding the chemotherapy treatment involved. Dr. Kelekian and his team are respected well in their work and research. However, they seem to focus more on their research and often times failed to treat Vivian with respect and sensitivity.
She gave full attention to him and kept his mind away from the pain and got to know him personally. Thus this indepth communications and care is a great facilitator. Key barriers for Mr. Taylor’s health care
Introduction This essay is a reflective piece of writing about the critical indecent of a medication error that occurred during my placement. It is a very concise piece of writing due to limited word count of 1500 words. Duke and Appleton (2000) did a literature review and devised a framework of critical reflection, which illustrates eight stages as compare to Gibbs’s (1998) reflective model that consist of six stages. I chose Gibbs reflective model not only it is easy to comprehend but also to illustrate a critical incident.
