Inform Consent Analysis

Before the interview I felt relaxed. I was busy in the morning observing another Occupational

I believe, that to improve the weaknesses that I have faced in the interview performance I need to practice more, with the practice I would become more confidence with

Explain how and why the concept of informed consent is critical to issues of euthanasia (active and passive) as well as physician-assisted suicide. Informed consent is a process for getting permission before conducting a healthcare intervention on a person, autonomy at its best. In physician assisted suicide we have the informed consent of the patient requesting the help to die. In this instance the patient is the direct cause or their own death, they just require the physician to help them get the medicine needed to end their life, they decide where and when to do it, and they are competent when making this decision. This is important when it comes to the law and the physician possibly being sued. In active euthanasia the physician gives

When a patient needs to have a medical procedure performed, they must first consent to the procedure. Before accepting or rejecting the treatment, the practitioner is required to give the patient information pertaining to the risks and benefits of the procedure, as well as available alternatives. Additionally, the patient must be mentally competent enough to make an informed decision, and not be manipulated or coerced into a decision.

GCP requires that Investigators receive adequate training on performing the study, including obtaining Informed Consent, and that patients receive adequate information about the study, what is expected, and the risks of participating. A complete description of what is required is also available online at the OHRP website.251 These sections and activities are expanded in special circumstances, such as emergency procedures, and studies with children, captive (e.g. prisoner) populations, mentally incompetent individuals, etc.

Healthcare Consent legislation applies to everyone above the age of 18 (some places 16) and has the following rights (Ref 1)

Section 2805-d(3) requires that it “be established that a reasonably prudent person would not have undergone the treatment or diagnosis if he had been fully informed,” see Motichka v Cody, 279 AD2d 310, 720 NYS2d 9 (1st Dept 2001). Plaintiff’s testimony as to what he or she would have done if informed is relevant but not determinative; the jury must balance the risks associated with undergoing the treatment against those associated with foregoing it, Dooley v Skodnek, 138 AD2d 102, 529 NYS2d 569 (2d Dept 1988); Zeleznik v Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital, 47 AD2d 199, 366 NYS2d 163 (2d Dept 1975). Expert testimony concerning what a reasonable person would have done is not necessary to maintain a malpractice claim premised upon lack of informed consent, Hugh v Ofodile, 87 AD3d 508, 929 NYS2d 122 (1st Dept 2011); Andersen v Delaney, 269 AD2d 193, 703 NYS2d 714 (1st Dept 2000); Osorio v Brauner, 242 AD2d 511, 662 NYS2d 488 (1st Dept 1997); see James v Greenberg, 57 AD3d 849, 870 NYS2d 100 (2d Dept

I was pleased with the way this session went because I had gain rapport with the client. The client nationality was Hispanic but he spoke low literacy English. The overall skills used with the client was standard greeting, open ended response to help him get started. I used furthering response to get the questions answered for his health care and nonverbal response to keep the process going. At times during the interview I had to also use emphatic response to show my concerns.

Although still nervous, my pre-game preparation lowered my anxiety and I was able to focus upon listening to my client. One thing I did notice, it took me a bit to formulate questions during the session which felt awkward, but Jim and his wife did not seem to notice. In the sessions we have observed in class, therapist intentionality sometimes comes across as hesitation which helps me understand that my awkwardness may be a normal part of speaking with an intentional focus upon the clients’ solution.

One thing that did not go so well was my use of hesitant language. I find that I am struggling with the use of silence so I am jumping into

During my very first interview, I was quite nervous. Although I had mulled over my questions repeatedly and had practiced my questions with my husband, classmates, and in the mirror, I wanted to sound like a competent researcher who was authentically invested in this process. I did not want to misrepresent myself or the university. I giggled as I listened to the recording of the first interview. I kept saying “good!” and “okay…” for a conversation filler, occasionally even when the participant was still talking! During this interview, I quickly realized that my questions were out of order. While I intended to open with “easier,” less personal questions, I found that stalled deep conversations regarding gender barriers in the profession. Therefore, I abandoned my specific conversation order with the two other participants and let the conversation flow more freely. I believe I was stifling the responses and myself by being too rigid. While that rigidity potentially came out of fear

Three positive things about my performance I thought were my calming voice, reflection on topic of discussion and body gestures. Throughout my presentation I thought that my voice was reassuring to listen to and not over enthusiastic. I think that throughout my intake interview it was important for me to think of myself of being in the position of talking normally to a friend and I think that showed through my performance. In contrast, during my conversation with my friend Sarah, I asked her questions in regards to how her disorder has impacted her leisure lifestyle, what activities she likes to do and what activities she would like to try doing throughout her sessions. I listened to her as she gave her responses and I thought that I did well at asking her further questions and confronting certain topics to better understand her point of view. I then reflect off that by reiterating what she had previously said, but stated it in a different way. I thought this was beneficial because I overall felt more comfortable asking her more questions, which lead to a deeper conversation. Lastly, I thought my non-verbal skills were relaxed, I remained engaged throughout the conversation with eye contact and the distance between us was at a comfortable place. Generally, I feel like I had a positive performance because I have done a similar interviewing project in the past and I think that I was naturally able to have a conversation. Open/closing questions- leading skills

Furthermore, I was not sure of myself, hence I did not want to lead the session. However, I knew what I was going to say, but I was too nervous. I was conscious of my accent and felt that the team would judge me. This feeling made me doubt my ability to lead the group that I was somehow quiet in my first leadership session. The topic of discussion was ‘readiness and working harder than clients’. Mackenzie and Emma started the session and transitioned to Heather and me. As usual, I got anxious that I did not remember to let the group know that Heather and I would continue from where Emma and Mackenzie stopped. It was unclear to the team who my co-facilitator was, until Heather joined in. I learnt my lesson from the mistake, to stay calm and follow the rules.
