Reflection On Baby Care Reflection

Throughout my time on the Mother Baby Care Unit, I have faced many instances in which I have been able to reflect on both my patients and the care that I was providing them. One situation in particular that I found myself critically reflecting upon involved a new mother who was feeling slightly stressed about being discharged as her newborn son would not be going home with her. For confidentiality reasons, this patient will be given the pseudonym of Kayla for the remainder of this reflection.

Skin integrity is an important concept that’s nurses assess on their patients. A key skill in nursing practice is to frequently assess the skin for possible breakdown or decreased skin integrity. Skin assessments should be conducted thoroughly once a shift and frequently reassessed for any signs of change. Skin discrepancies may be the first sign of an underlying issue. Early detection of any breakdown can help to implement interventions sooner. Unfortunately, unless there is a major skin discrepancy, skin issues can easily get overlooked, specifically in documentation and report. The focus of this paper is to research new skin integrity assessments to improve documentation effect and accuracy, resulting in decreased prevalence of skin breakdown in hospitalized patients. Topics discussed include reviewing current practices and new skin assessment techniques that decrease the prevalence of skin breakdown and pressure ulcers.

In my first experience with MOVE, I opted to socialise with the children and colleagues that are participating in this organisationso we get to know each other better. Once I got to know mycolleagues and the children we went to Buskett gardens by van. The children were split into three groups and I was assigned to take care of the children. Activities were done such as delivering rocks to a certain point in creative ways, making tapas (Spanish food) and trying to drop an egg at a height of three metres without breaking it. The team that scored the most points from these three activities had won the challenge.

This project was quite expeditious due to the number of alternate subjects studied within the constraints of school. This made it quite difficult to complete because time limits were evident and tested. This could have had a substantial impact on the project itself, however, it did not because of skill and precision. Working individually could be beneficial in certain circumstances if one is smart, advantages might include independence and personal idea. Although, it was not easy coming up with good ideas and multi-tasking in different areas individually. In addition, working in a class group was helpful due to the amount of

This semester, I hope to gain the confidence in my nursing skills necessary to help me work more independently with my patient care. Expanding on my assessment skills, communication skills, clinical judgment skills, and safety skills are important in gaining more independence in my care for my patients. I hope that this semester I can learn how to work with chest tubes, be more direct with what I need from my patient, be more confident with my knowledge in medications, improve my skills in delivering an SBAR, and learning the terminology used at Mayo Clinic and in nursing.

While regulation and standard are the keys to the success of a childcare facility, there are factors that I believe are equally important to be successful in an early childcare program. So, I looked for a highly qualified teacher with good communication skills. Saint Mary Academy Inc. displayed these factors upon entry to the facility. I saw degrees of teacher and directors ranging from masters to bachelor degrees specialized for the profession display behind the desk of the director for the day.

I had went from a good girl to a bad girl. I would get in fights for no reason at all. I did get suspended but never got expelled from school. I love going to school but it seams like every time i try to do good, their was some girls meassing with my plans. By the time i turned 14 i find out that im pregnant. I didn't know what to do, or how to tell. I tell my best friend her name was Jordan. We were friends since fourth grade. I tell her i'm pregnant and that i was scared. I decided that i was going to hide it from my parents. Come to find my friend Jordan, was pregnant too. She was dating my brother Luis, she was far along than i was. Wen i was almost 3 months pregnant, i decided to tell my parents. I was really scared to tell my dad, i knew my mom wouldn't make a big drama about it. But my dad it seam like he wanted to choke me. The time pass and it was almost time for me to be due. My mom made me a baby shower on November 03,2008, it was the biggest baby shower i ever went to. I got a lot off gifts for the baby, the shower lasted on till one in the morning.On November 05,2008 i delivered my 6 pounds 2oz baby girl Ana Perez. Every body and me were glade she came out healthy.After my dad was mad, he now loves my little girl. He treats her like his own daughter, and she loves him too.

I am very impressed with the concept of the Abecedarian Project. I especially admire that its focus is to help those in poverty, who are usually those who are in the greatest need of help in order to break the cycle of poverty. This provides a more holistic approach since not only is it beneficial to the mother as it provides educational games and increases employment opportunity for the mother, but also promotes breaking the cycle of poverty and helping to launch impoverished children out of and over expectations for a disadvantaged community. I also appreciated that the project used play in order to teach, which is often more effective and lasting than “book learning,” especially at such a young age.

When I started the Virtual Child project I did not have any expectations because I really I did not know what to expect. At the end of the project, I was surprised how much the child turned out like myself. My virtual child was a girl, and I named her Ava. She was born about four weeks premature, only weighing four and half pounds and had an Apgar score of six. Ava also had jaundice. So she needed a few days of neonatal care. During that time, the doctors also wanted to make sure that she could regulate her body temperature. After five days, Ava Apgar score went up to eight. So she was able to go home.

The egg baby activity was an activity I particularly enjoyed doing in my college career. I am actually familiar with the care taking process for my egg, since I was assigned this type of project before while I was in high school; the only difference was that I had a partner for this experience. So to explain the process for caring for my baby was fairly simple, my partner, Lily, had a schedule that was the opposite of mine and we would switch off caring for the baby evenly. She had the baby one day and I would have him the next. Having to switch off between days primarily reminded me of how actual couples would have to raise children due to custody cases, in which some are not as lenient as switching off between parents like it was for this project. So the challenging part of this activity

The objective of this reflection is to explore and reflect upon a situation from a clinical placement on an orthopedic unit. The incident showed that I did not provide safe, timely and competent care for my patient when the oxygen saturation was low. Furthermore, this reflection will include a description of the incident, and I will conclude with explaining what I have learned from the experience and how it will change my future actions.

The ideas is good, however the I do not see an realistic goal in the project. The question that interviewer asked were harsh and direct for a 7 years old children. As a children I do not believe that they will be able to fully understand the question. For instance, what would you want to be as an adult? It depends of you enviorement. Neil and Jackie suburbians children. They just wanted to work and have a family. Suzy and Bruce there enviorenment was more projected towards getting an education for themselves. They knew that they will go to an university. Enviorenment projects your behavior as a child

Eggywap1738 shall always go down in history as my first born son. He is a very mature egg, and he really enjoyed his time under my care. As an egg parent, the first day I received him, I was very nervous, but also extremely excited at the same time. At first I was a little skeptical about this project, because I didn’t really think that this project was that realistic. But then when I received him I was nervous because I never had this type of responsibility in my life before. But on the other hand, I was very excited because this was my own project, and I could do whatever I wanted with my baby. I had the advantage of seeing the dancers complete this project, and it taught me what to do, and what not do. For example, I was very cautious of who babysat Eggywap1738, and made sure to always check for damages, and kept him at my side at all times.

This project opened my eyes to how annoying it can be to have a child. Taking care of it was not the problem, although I left it in a couple of classrooms, I always knew where it was. The problem was just carrying it around. Any moment that I got away from it, mostly at home, I would think to myself, at least it can’t talk or do anything because it’s annoying enough as it is the way it is now, carrying it around all day.

Since I am the youngest in my family and have no nieces or nephews, the birthing chapter was difficult for me to relate to since I have had no exposure to these scenarios. I’m sure there are a lot of other people in the class who have the same feelings as me when it comes to relating to birth; we have no experience or memories with these situations. Nonetheless, the pieces we read and viewed in this chapter did make sense and were interesting.
