The Episode Of Violence Toward Me From A Patient

The facts of this case are that Dr. Guiles who is self-conscious of his prostate cancer diagnosis is treated horrendously when he finally decides to have surgery ( Buchbinder, Shanks & Buchbinder, 2014). Considering that Dr. Guiles is already sensitive about his condition, his unbearable symptoms are not helping matters (Buchbinder et al, 2014). Upon arrival at the hospital, he is treated subpar. The admitting clerk is rude and unbecoming to a patient who isn’t feeling well and who is embarrassed about his sickness (Buchbinder et al., 2014). To make matters worse, he has to find his own way up to the floor by walking, which causes him to be even later in checking in because of the need to stop frequently to urinate as well as having difficulty in walking (Buchbinder et al., 2014). Once he arrives on the floor, the charge nurse is not welcoming and unprofessional (Buchbinder et al., 2014). After figuring out what to do with the paperwork; and the nurse aide delivers Dr. Guiles to his room, the nurse aide does not offer to help settle him in (Buchbinder et al., 2014). Therefore, Dr. Guiles is faced with battling obnoxious family members who are on his bed and to make matters worse someone is in the bathroom which doesn’t help his need of having to frequently urinate (Buchbinder et al., 2014). When the issues are brought up to the charge nurse, the charge nurse accuses Dr. Guiles of wanting preferential treatment

The physician began screaming and cursing in the middle of the unit. He questioned her education by stating, “where did you go to medical school”. The nurse became really upset and began to cry. The behavior exhibited by the physician iss a textbook example of horizontal violence.

On January 19th, 2009, Ian Andrews was given a seven-month suspension from the nursing profession. A year prior, Andrews was working as a full-time practical nurse at a mental health and addictions hospital located in Ontario. The client affected by Andrews ' actions was an elderly individual, who was diagnosed with autism and presented occasional periods of rage and fury. The client’s care plan involved managing periods of aggressiveness through staff support and the use of restraints, as necessary. On the day of the incident, staff nurses noticed that upon the client’s grunt, Andrews punched the client in the face several times, as the client tried to cover his face. Andrews then took the client into the bathroom where thudding noises were heard. Upon arrival, the nurses noticed Andrews standing over the client uninjured, with the wall covered with traces of blood and a broken faucet resting in the sink. Later in the evening, Andrews ' left a progress note within the client 's chart which described that the client had injured himself due to a period of restlessness. Upon patient assessment, a wound was noted on the client’s bottom lip along with minor lacerations present at the back of the client’s head.

This week through my employment, I had to seek out emergency respite options for an individual receiving services through the County Board. I realize that my employment is not related to my field placement, however the tasks I was engaged in this week at work others may be experiencing similar situations through field placement. Plus it has been awhile since I have been involved in a situation where emergency housing or respite was needed, so this experience was a break from my routine. The individual, KB, is a 20 year old female currently residing with her parents. KB’s diagnoses includes: schizophrenia, mild intellectual disorder and oppositional defiant disorder. Due to episodes of both verbal and physical aggression, amongst all family members, I was charged with seeking respite services with the likelihood of long term residential services if respite is successful.

The Joint Commission recognizes any “intimidating and disruptive behaviors can foster medical errors, contribute to poor patient satisfaction and to preventable adverse outcomes, increase the cost of care, and causes qualified clinicians, administrators, and managers to see new positions in more professional settings.” (Lachman, V). A nurse who chooses to leave the emergency room because of history of dealing with lateral violence, it will cost the hospital anywhere $45,000-75,000 to train a new nurse. (Blair). If that new nurse leaves because of the same reason that hospital has just lost roughly $90,000-150,000

The focus of this meeting was a patient who came to the emergency room, got admitted to the medical floor because of his symptoms. Once in the medical floor the patient got very aggressive, and was a threat to himself and the staff. One doctor happened to recognize the patient, this doctor knew that the patient had psychiatric problems so he informed the other doctors and the staff who did not know about his psychiatric problems. This was the reason the patient got so aggressive was because he did not take his psychiatric medications. In the meeting they tried to come up

On May 6, 2016, Dr. Bender exhibited inappropriate behavior that interfered with the function and flow of the Primary Care Clinic. The attached e-mail written by the nurse manager provides an example of her behavior. Dr. Bender’s behavior basically prevented staff members from carrying out their professional responsibilities. The nurse manager attempted to diffuse the situation and redirect Dr. Bender to focus on care for the veterans. However, when the nurse manager left the clinic and presented to Primary Care Admin offices to report on the situation, Dr. Bender was reported to be “flipping out”. I found a quiet room and interviewed three of the staff members (two nurses and the medical support staff assistant). Each one indicated that
