Cultural Differences In Health And Social Care Analysis
Great post Hannah! I agree that when care is not up to nurses’ personal standards, it may lead to conflict and hard feelings. I have seen this happen on my unit, when a patient was transferred from the ICU and the nurse seemed frustrated, because the patient had a high acuity and was placed on a medical surgical unit. She reached out to the physician about her concerns and he assessed the patient and started discussing discharge. The next day the patient coded and was transferred back to the ICU. The nurse was upset and talked badly about the physician, ICU staff, and their decision making. I understood her frustration, but instead of talking about the health care professionals, she could have talked to the unit manager to voice her concerns.
