Standardised Patients Case Study

This made me nervous as to how I was going to communicate with her. My mentor stood back in order to allow me to administer the medications and I felt unable to ask the question, “How do I communicate with this patient?”

I feel that the communicating between Patient A and myself worked well during this event. I noticed that she was uncomfortable by her body language and I picked up quickly which method was best to

Interprofessional Education, IPE event took place on July 22nd, 2016. The purpose of IPE is for us to learn how to work together as a health care team effectively collaborating with other health care members. In order to do so, each individual needed to understand not only his or her role and responsibility of a given role but also other team members’ roles and responsibilities. In our event, it was Interprofessional Health care Team Simulation with roles of a registered practical nurse and a Food Service supervisor, and a registered social worker and a personal support worker and a patient and her family member. We were given the scenario with the patient, Mrs. Johnston, 93 years old resident of a nursing home. My role was a RPN. The situation given was that we were asked by the patient’s family member to have a meeting with the health care team since her family member was concerned about her declining health status accompanied by her body weight loss.

I was able to check the patient in a systemic order and to make her feel comfortable around me allowing openness and honesty about medical conditions. I responded to the patient in a professional way as to not make her feel uncomfortable and to represent myself as a professional. The patient felt very comfortable with me during the interview, I had asked her upon completion if I was professional and if she felt comfortable. She said that I was very gentle in examining her and that she was very comfortable speaking to me. During the examination there were moment when the patient and I had light conversation, as I did not want the experience to feel cold and calculated. She showed me picture of her family and the books that she loves to

As the afternoon went on I felt more that I wanted to engage with the patients and not just stand there as a fly on the wall but I also felt it might be overwhelming to the patients to have two students both asking them questions and I don’t think there were enough patients by that time for all the students to see by them selves. I ended up

As I entered Mrs. Brown’s room I introduce myself, my role and the reason of being there and asked her how she would like me to address to her. Being supervised by the RN I asked for an informed consent prior to commencing a focused holistic assessment and then I asked what would be a good time for me to come back. I did recall from a handover that Mrs. Brown has a Clexane which

I slowly entered the room. The man was crying putting his hand on the bed rail. I called him by name. He looked up. I introduced myself as a chaplain and asked if he would like to talk and I am there to listen to his concern. I requested if we could step out for a few

Utilize AIDET which stands for acknowledge, introduce, duration, explanation, and thank you. One must acknowledge the patient and introduce one’s self by name and role for the day. Always explain to the patient what is going to take place, how long it will take, and when should they expect to see you again.

It is my belief that every patient, regardless of the severity of their condition/presenting complaint deserves my undivided attention and I am also aware of the importance of ‘getting right’ those first crucial moments of a consultation. How the patient is greeted, patient comfort and environment all shape the patients first impression and help to develop communication and rapport (Egan, 1998).

This is a reflective essay based on a situation encountered during my first six-week placement on an ear, nose and throat ward at a local hospital. In order that I could use this situation for my reflection the patient will be referred to as "Mr H". This is in order that his real name is protected and that confidentially maintained in line with the NMC Code of Professional Conduct to

Effective communication in the healthcare setting improves recovery rates and reduces pain and complication rates. (Wilkinson et al, 2003). Many complaints to the NHS are attributed to poor communication. Effective communication is reliant on the nurse working in partnership with the patient. It is essential that the nurse establishes a rapport and most of this will be achieved through the use of facial expressions. In my practice, it is important that develop a therapeutic relationship with the patients so that they can be able to put their trust in me. The therapeutic relationship is solely to meet the needs of the patient. In this relationship, there is a rapport established from a sense of mutual understanding and trust. To build a good nurse-patient relationship, I would have to show qualities of empathy, caring, sincerity and trustworthiness. During practice, if I am approaching a patient and the patient looks anxious, I should approach with empathy.

First, before you enter the patient's room knock on the door, never forget to do this. Once they say come in, enter the room and say Hello, and say your name. Then ask the patient their name

Before I went into the room, I asked the nurse about the best way to start a communication with the patient. When the nurse said that she show gestures and act funny and the patient smiles, I decided

One would be force lability, which means that the physician new that using those pliers would have brought on some sort of infection. However, the pliers were not sterilized and were not part of the operating room instruments; the doctor should have known better and should have anticipated the infection. The physician had only to use the proper tools and no problems would have been present. The physician should have guarded against what was going to happen not what was remotely to happen.
