An explanation of discernment in the article that really expanded my insight and provided me a deeper understanding is as follows: “Discernment, we argue, is a particular kind of perception that (a) involves a focused attention to context that requires one to be deeply engaged, (b) is a relational process, (c) is not an any ‘‘anything goes’’ approach to knowing (d) is value laden, not neutral, and (e) employs multiple ways of knowing for determining the ‘truth’’ of a situation including

However, at the end of this long train of feelings, I found hope. I felt Jesus wash over my body and mind with peace. He reassured me that He knows what He’s doing and I can trust in Him. I do believe that to be true.
My actions for the situation involved giving C.H. his medications with Meagan, playing with him while he was awake, rubbing his back while talking him to sleep, and praying for him. I believe these were the most appropriate actions for the given situation. It was my responsibility to care for him as best I could over the twelve hours he was my patient, and I believe I not only cared for him physically but participated in bringing him shalom as well.
The positive outcomes for this patient were that he slept for the majority of the night. At 0200 he did wake up briefly, but we were able to quickly help him fall back asleep. C.H.’s mother may or may not be guilty of neglect or abuse, but in the meantime, positive aspects of his current circumstance include and are not limited to: the hospital is a good safe place for him to stay, his head is healing very well because he is consuming a sufficient amount of protein, and he has someone giving him constant attention. All of these interventions and outcomes are contributing to an increase of C.H.’s overall quality of life.
With more time, I feel that I could have done a comprehensive review of the social
There are always key elements to assessments and reviews, including the family and friends. Everyone has a responsibility to support individuals and bearing in mind ‘need to know’ information. The aim being able to achieve the highest goal to maintain effective open channels for everyone.
The ‘Thinking Performer’ also challenges what (s)he sees/does and thinks for him/her-self instead of blindly following orders.

(S)he looks beyond the results to why they are required and tries to make a positive difference to the organisation. Every organisation is a living organism and the HR professional should be a (pro)-active member rather than a follower. In the HR Professional Map this is represented by required behaviour such as ‘curious’, ‘courage to challenge’ and ‘personally credible’.
Explain when and why inquiries and serious case reviews are required and how the sharing of the findings informs practice?
I spoke with the family and arranged for him to have video call his son so that he can see and talk to his granddaughter. This helped the patient’s willingness to participate in activities of daily living and reenergized him.
My knowledge from a number of first aid courses influenced my decisions in how to care for Max, for example knowing not to move Max due to suspected injuries. Also my knowledge gained from praxis lectures and clinical practice helped to influence my decisions as I knew the importance of keeping the patient warm, clean, comfortable and advised while assessing the patient. This was demonstrated when looking after Max as the care-giver and I used appropriate hygiene practices and communication between the care giver, myself and Max to guarantee we all knew what was happening as well as what was needed.
The object of this essay is to discuss the role of the Assistant Practitioner.

The thought of professionalism conjures up many ideas, and possibly pre-conceived judgements. These will not always be classed as positive or negative, but will undoubtedly have a profound effect on the way you are perceived in your area of work or chosen profession.
I was also surprised to see a comatose patient gain consciousness after 35 days. As a part of a team caring for this comatose patient in the ICU, I was involved in monitoring his vital signs, airway, nutrition and urine output. I worked closely with other members of the health care team to maintain his physical health. Swithching him form oropharyngeal ventilation to cricothyrotomy for airway management was another challenging task caring for this patient. I built a good rapport with his family members as I communicated
Both these professions expect the same high standards when it comes to education and training.
