A Interview On Patient Care

Sawbridge and Hewison (2015) believe that compassion is important to the delivery of patient care. However, professionals are working in environments that are increasingly targeted which can take the professionals away from delivering compassionate care (Baverstock and Finley 2016). This assignment aims to discuss how important and how realistic it is for health and social care leaders to balance compassion with effective and efficient service delivery. It aims to do this by exploring what is meant by the term compassion and the influence that it has on patient care. The author will then move on to discuss the impact compassion has on service delivery, considering if professionals need to balance compassion with effective and efficient care delivery including the if compassion is in fact required to deliver effective care.

This essay aims to describe briefly what is meant by patient-centred care. It will also focus and expand on two key aspects of patient dignity - making choices and confidentiality. Patient-centred care (PCC) is an extensively used model in the current healthcare system (Pelzang 2010:12). PCC is interpreted as looking at the whole person and considering their individual values and needs in relation to their healthcare. By implementing a PCC approach it ensures that the person is at the very centre of any plans that are made and has a dynamic role in the decision making process (Pelzang 2010:12).

Throughout the interview, Xavier’s mother answered the majority of the questions and expressed the difficulties she faces daily while taking care of her son. She also talks about the process of receiving the diagnosis of ASD, as well as a previous diagnosis that was incorrect. Xavier’s mother first noticed something different while comparing his development, mainly his speech, to that of her nephew who was around the same age as her son. She claims that he wasn’t talking at all at the age of 1 ½ and that concerned her. Xavier’s doctor said his speech was probably delayed and suggested a speech therapist as early intervention. His mother claims that he didn’t outwardly appear Autistic to her because he wasn’t withdrawn. She also claims that

In this assignment I am going to deliberate the care of a patient that I have looked after when working in placement on a hospital ward .I will use the Chapelhow framework to discuss two of the perspectives in relation to the patients care needs. In the Chapelhow framework there are six perspectives that are used to help reflect and discuss patient care. These six perspectives are assessment, communication, documentation, risk management, professional decision making and managing uncertainty(Chapelhow, 2005).The two perspectives I am going to use in this assignment are assessment and communication.

Hi Sam this is Mary Grace. Thank you for sharing your medical experience of your patient from a different ethnic background. I commend your work and effort of accommodating and modifying your strategic plan of treatment to achieve an excellent quality of care to your patient. In response to your question: How can you improve the accessibility and effectiveness of health care services for people from racial/ethnic minorities?

The 5 questions and their answers I asked in my interviews are as follows; 1). How did the professionals such as the Dr.’s, nurses, PT, OT, etc. treat and/or interact with your father/client? My first woman told me that her father was a Korean war vet and that the majority of his Dr.’s were at the VA in MN. She was not impressed because many times they all seemed as if it was a burden for them to have to see him. She also observed young men and women there in waiting rooms who were treated with respect and they seemed to get right in to their appointment whereas her dad would sometimes wait 1 to 3 hours only to be told that they would have to reschedule. It was very sad. My second woman I interviewed told me that rarely would she ever see Dr.’s

In the physical realm of patient-centered care pain, comfort, sleep, and rest are important aspects of the fourth dimension of patient-centered care. Patient-centered care is the complete focus of the medical team on providing respectful care to meet patient needs, preferences and values guide decisions on each individual patient care. To understand the subjective view of the patient, these four aspects are at the forefront of their needs within the hospital setting to provide the best patient outcome. Nurses provide good patient-centered care by actively partnering with patients to determine care priorities and plans to tailor their level of involvement, according to their preferences, and being flexible by changing the care plan as the situation changes including providing smooth transitions between care goals. By doing this, nurses can assist patients with all pain by providing comfort and assuring the patient that there will be no deficiency of their quality of sleep.

How good it would be for you as dentist, for your dental practice as a business, and for the dental health and well-being of your patients, if you could offer more than just verbal reassurance about the state of your patients dental health?

The health history assists health care providers and patients. Information is obtained that can lead to a diagnosis and the treatment options available. It is important that trust between patients and medical professionals is obtained. The information will determine what is normal and expected for the patient. The interview process is the best and most common way to obtain information from the patient (“Health History,” n.d.). The patient interviewed has numerous pulmonary and cardiac issues that have affected her quality of life.

Lily was a 65 year old lady with stage 5 CKD, she had recently begun hemodialysis treatment three times a week as an inpatient and had been responding well to treatment. During dialysis treatment on the morning of the first day, Lily’s observations showed that she was: tachycardic, hypotensive, tachypnoeaic, had an oxygen saturation level of 88% and was becoming confused and drowsy. It became apparent that Lily had become hypovolaemic. The hypovolaemic shock seen in this patient was of a particular critical nature due to the fact that her dialysis treatment had moved her rapidly through the first two stages of shock with her compensatory mechanisms failing very quickly (Tait, 2012). It was also much harder to identify the early signs of

According to the article, “Noncaring and Caring in the Clinical Setting: Patients’ Descriptions”, “Presence is something which reveals itself immediately and unmistakably in a look, a smile, an intonation, or a handshake” (Riemen). The concept of nursing presence may sound similar to the nurse simply caring for the patient. However, nursing presence is much more complex; then simply administering the patient’s insulin before every meal. A nurse being present with the patient is actively advocating for the patient. They’re working with the patient to ensure they’re receiving the best care. If the patient needs pain medication, but doesn’t have any ordered, the nurse is calling the doctor and advocating for this patient’s pain. Comforting,

“Nursing is an art, and if it is to be made an art, requires as exclusive a devotion, as hard a preparation, as any painter’s or sculptor’s work...” (Nightingale, 1868)

This submission is going to focus on the nursing care that I gave on two placement simulations and one shift on placement, placing emphasis on oral care, bed bathing and medication management. It will outline the fundamental aspects of clinical nursing skills that have taken place in my setting. This will also highlight the learning process taken place and how it helped me to enhance my knowledge, and ethical values in order to deliver quality and safety of care. Using other sources of current literature, I will use a reflective model to discuss how I have achieved the necessary level of learning outcome. By utilising this model I hope to demonstrate my knowledge and understanding in relation to these skills as well as

A twist on the "patient's perspective" approach is to describe a time when medicine failed to save or heal someone close to you. The purpose of this tactic would not of course be to rail against the medical profession, but rather to show how a disappointing loss inspired you to join the struggle against disease and sickness.
