Patient Interview

I have Interview 3 separate individuals representing three generations my parents, my mother in-law, and my husband.

My second clinical day at Mercy Defiance Hospital, progressive care unit, was overwhelming but rewarding and very educational. Through the 8 hours I was there, I learned a lot. I engaged myself in many self-directing learning practices to futher promote my professional growth. My first time interaccting with my patient,I was joined with my clinical instructor. While in the room, I got to listen to to my patients heart, lungs, and bowel sounds. I was able to see and examine the patients ostomy bag, as well as help them to the bathroom. There were ways that I can improve my professional growth, suchas,having the confidence to not second guess my self about things to do in assessments. For example, I know how to assess the lungs, I should not second guess where to listen for the sounds. One of my goals for next week dealing with professional growth would be to have the confidence to know what I have learned and use it. My second one being to go into the room with a confident attitude and believe in myself.

The Licensed Practical Nurse said that the education that she obtained prepared her for the various facets of her job. It was more helpful in some aspects of my job than it is in others jobs. With the shortage of medical doctors, the LPN and the nurse are playing a larger role in patient care. Because demand for LPN's is strong and growing, you often have your choice of full-time jobs. LPN positions are available in hospitals, nursing homes, doctors' offices, and home health care. The annual salary of a LPN can reach $45,000 plus benefits, depending on your responsibilities.

There are many different professions that one can choose when entering the healthcare field. Nursing is a very popular and needed profession that is vital to care for patients. For this paper I have chosen to interview my younger cousin who currently works for the VA Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada as a Registered Nurse in the Medical Surgical Unit. I will describe the targeted facility and unit she works for, the type of work done within her unit, any interesting, informative, or specific information related to the chosen unit which makes it unique, and a comprehensive description of my cousin, and her responsibilities.

On September 8, 2015 I interviewed Dr Smith at his place of business in Washington, MO. Dr Smith gave the following information: Arlene Skornia and her husband Wilbur had been patients under his care for 10-20 years. He had overseen Arlene on several hospitalizations, and surgical recoveries, finding her and her husband to be intelligent, articulate people. He had met her sons but had little direct contact with them.

For the next time I plan to be more prepared. I would have by then studied more techniques available for me to use. I plan on using every tool at my disposal, including my pediatric nursing book and health assessment book. I also plan on using any other tools provided to me by my instructors. Having a sound and structured plan is key to success in patient assessments. Having one for next time will greatly improve the experience for me and the

I met a few objectives this week such as being able to communicate well with my staff and peers and demonstrating professional behaviors. An example of how I demonstrated objective 2, was in the practice lab, I efficiently explained to my peers which Personal Protective Equipment is needed during a current precaution such as droplet and airborne. I also demonstrated objective 2 when we had our one on one meeting and I told you about being nervous for clinical as I have had bad experience with dementia patients. I appreciate you reassuring me that I will not have a combative patient as I truly do want to have a positive clinical experience as well as a therapeutic relationship with my patient. I demonstrated

Young children that enter the hospital can be overwhelmed due to the health concerns that they have no control over most of the time. The patients parents and the young child have to undergo a meticulous process while at the hospital. At the beginning of this process the young patient is given a trinket or something that brings them comfort which is provided by the hospital. This will enable the young patient to have a more comforting experience and allow the patient to have more hope while at the hospital. One thing the hospitals may provide are little activity bags that contains, markers, crayons, coloring books, books, stuffed animals or even little squishy balls. This allows the young patient to come to ease with the troubles they are facing

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.

This was the first time for me to interview a patient who I was not familiar with. At first, I had no idea to find my patient. My mentor helped me, and gave me a chance to talk with his patient. I reviewed my notes from class and prepared a lot before our interview. The 75-year-old male patient was really kind and was willing to listen to me and talk with me. We finished our interview successfully within one hour. The control of time length and the adequate preparation are my advantages. There are some areas to be improved next time. On the one hand, I am not familiar with medications’ name, sometimes I cannot spell correctly what the drug is. On the other hand, for this patient, he had drug therapy problem, but I was not able to certain his problem and solution. I hope I would have the chance to communicate with pharmacists about patients’ drug therapy problem in the next practice.

When the patient first came in I think I did quite well as I welcomed
