As a Registered Nurse is a crucial component to ensure that there is effective communication between the nurse and patient. As well as being respectful to the person’s dignity, culture, values, beliefs and rights. This is because everyone is different, and due to this it is important that I am being cautious to each person’s individual needs.

The assessment was done in my patient’s room at the Memorial South Hospital on 12th of April, 2015. During the interview, I have used active listening, holistic approach, and focus interview, open-ended and closed-ended questions to determine the cause of the patient’s skin Integrity; however, it can be characterized as a Stage II pressure ulcer; therefore, by using this therapeutic communication help me to get a better understanding of what the patient is experiencing and the type of psychosocial problem exists.

As I was placed in an acute surgical ward in a hospital for my first semester placement, I have practiced this principle throughout my work by taking control and understanding a patient’s dignity and privacy. When admitting a patient in triage, one of the questions in the documentation of the process of admission is about the skin.

This objective allows learners to know that they will be given tools to assess a patient’s health literacy as well as tools to create individual education plans specific to each patient’s need. The second objective states that staff will be able to assess a patient's learning style and incorporate those kinds of activities in their teaching of each patient. This learning objective sets the learner up for receiving instruction on how to assess a patient’s learning style and how to apply that knowledge to how to teach their patient. These objectives give the staff the tools to properly and adequately teach patients in a way that they can understand and apply what they have learned without fear of

Many entities outside of nursing are making initiatives to measure the quality and safety of the patient experience such as the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The CMS Partnership for Patients Program (PPP) is a group of over 8000 hospitals, representative of health care organizations, state governments, employers, and unions. Partnership for patients is focused on providing safer, more reliable and less costly hospital care. Other organizations such as not- for-profit groups focus on improving relationship between patients, families and health care professionals. The goal of enhancing this relationship is to ensure the provision of high quality care, delivery of safe care, reduction of the cost of care, and enhancement in the transition of care from provider to the next level of care. Even though nurses strive to provide safe and high quality care, they often lost their hope in patient satisfaction scores, performance improvement and quality measurement. Nurse are willing to provide the best care to their patients and committed to the process of improvement, if their efforts are resulted in better patient outcomes. According to the 2014, issue of the New England journal of medicine, a CMS report of 2013 confirmed that the partnership for patients at an estimated cost of $1 billion, showed early elective deliveries in the CMS hospital engagement networks were down by 48% and nationally, readmissions were

Many individuals learn using a combination of styles. After considering all aspects of my patient I created my teaching plan to benefit visual, auditory, and tactile learners. My plan included an informative brochure that I created at a reading level suitable for my patient and visual aids consisting of tables such as “My Plate,” nutrition labels, and certain foods to avoid. The visual aids were necessary for my patient’s literacy level

In this respect, Nurse Practitioner must stay consistent in maintaining a culturally sensitive patient-centered care environment by recognizing patients as part of the decision-making process (National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties, 2016). The development of evidence-based practice and evaluation practicing of learning become vital parts by providing a significant response to improving the teaching-learning process and, more likely, participate in the competent and excellent in the management of patient care (National League of Nursing, 2016). Health care is continuously developing and improving; Nurse Practitioner must be committed to lifelong learning to continue with the stated fast-paced revolutions. Additionally, NP collaborates with other members of the health care team to promote healthy partnership within the organization to providing optimal care and transition to the care continuum accordingly (National League of Nursing, 2016). Nurse Practitioner decision-making is affected by their ethical principles to make simple decisions

Hospitals nationwide can account for their nurse’s patient care through the survey (). If a nurse is consistently having issues with patient care, it can be shown through this survey and improved on. This leads to better teaching practices in nursing schools and hospitals. When nurses can see what works and does not work, improvements can be made in training new nurses, and this is based on patient needs. Patients are the best source of information on how to improve nursing practices, which is why the HCAHPS has become successfully and widely

Being able to break information down to where the patient or patients can understand is a wonderful skill to posses because I will be dealing with so many cultures, ethnicity, and age groups. A lot of people do not understand when doctors and even medical assistants use certain terms, so when they are spoken to where they can understand, it makes them feel better just knowing what is going on instead of feeling more confused than what they was when they came in. And also it lets them know that you care enough to take the time and effort to make sure they understand.

Working in a healthcare domain means providing the most effective and beneficial care for the incompetent patients. Particularly, to those who needs intimate nursing assistance such as dressing, bathing, eating, toileting and skin care activities ( Wurster 2007).This is especially true if the person is mentally, emotionally, and physically dependent like the clients in nursing homes.

Whether in the classroom or clinical setting, I believe that the process of learning should not be static, but rather fluid in the sense that questions should be asked back and forth between educator and student. A dialogue should be created so that both student and teacher are actively participating in the learning process. Through this way of learning, one has to actively think and apply the information they have on a particular subject, instead of just memorizing facts. I have found that this is the best way for me to truly process and retain information.
