Reflective Narrative Note-DARN-Form This week in clinical Michaella, Mun and I got together for assessing the client with catheterization. Mun was a person who provided it but we were there to help her. The client was unable to express herself and she did not respond. We were connected well with each other doing her care. It was so difficult to find out the place for catherization because it was not in a proper place as we studied in anatomy class. Fortunately, our clinical instructor helped Mun and she did it well. After catheterization I was helping Michaella to provide care for her client. We took vital signs and helped PSW to do bathing. We communicated with the client using clear language and she seems to

I was assigned to the patient by my clinical instructor. Unfortunately, he was hospitalized. I asked my clinical instructor another client to assign to as a student. I asked the nurse, who worked in my West side, where I could find information about my client. She explained me that most of information about the client I could find in the computer. The nurse in our side was so nice. She explained every her step without any secret. With my team mates we were able to participate in measured blood glucose level, injection of Morphine, Nitroglycerin patch, TB shot. Become familiar with the computer system in our facility, clinical instructor was provided training for us. I have been used any opportunity to connect with my team mates, professor, and nurse. As a team, we participated in fire drill and communicated with clients. With the variety of racial and ethnic patients in hospitals today, nurses are faced with the problem of accurate assessing non-English speaking patients. In my clinical day, I used knowledge of background languages such as Hebrew

    In this task I will be reflecting upon an incident undertaken on area of my work. The model of reflection I’ve chosen is Gibbs (1988), which involves reflection on the description, feelings, evaluation, conclusion and action plan (Gibbs 1988). The Gibbs (1988) reflective cycle is fairly straightforward and encourages a clear description of the situation, analysis of feelings, evaluation of the experience, analysis to make sense of the experience, conclusion where other options are considered and reflection upon experience to examine what you would do if the situation arose again. The procedure in which I will be reflecting upon is Last offices; I chose this due to how constructive and valuable it was in my personal and professional development as a student practitioner nurse.…

    She also commented on items they had in their room and allowed the patient to respond. I did not really care for her style of therapeutic communication because I did not feel like it was genuine and I feel like the patients also felt that way and it did not allow for a trusting relationship. There was no interaction with the nurse and any of the family members so no therapeutic communication methods were observed. The nurse also did not talk to any doctors because there was a charge nurse that had that responsibility. From what I observed from the charge nurse answering the phone was very rude phone skills answering a call out by “We’re in a crisis what do you want”. All I could think of was she better hope that was the phone call for a call out and not a family member or doctor calling. I really do not have any examples of therapeutic communication methods because this facility did not communicate well or efficiently and I was not…

    In my context with the patient, it is important for me to improve the nurse-patient relationship. In this relationship, there is a sense of trust and a mutual understanding exists between a nurse and a patient that build in a special link of the relationship (Harkreader and Hogan, 2004). (Peplau 1952, cited in Harkreader and Hogan 2004) note that a good contact in a relationship builds trust as well as would raise the patient’s self-esteem which could lead to new personal growth for the patient. Besides, (Ruesch 2007) mention the purpose of the therapeutic communication is to improve the patient’s ability to function. So in order to establish a nurse-patient interaction, a nurse must show up caring, sincerity, empathy and trustworthiness (Kathol, 2003). Those attitudes could be expressed by promoting the effective communication and relationships by the implementation of interpersonal skills. Johnson (2008) define the interpersonal skills is the total ability to communicate effectively with other people.…

    Throughout the writing of my learning narrative, I realize a recurring theme in my paper. At each stage of my life I had always wanted to feel older and more grown up than I actually was. When I looked at the kids in the grades above me and the older athletic teams they seemed so much older and smarted than me. They always bragged and talked about how much harder the next grade or level was. Now that I am in college, I have realize that it is not how difficult the next level is. It is how much time and effort you want to put in to get the results you need; it is about motivation. Back when I was a child I would have looked at a nineteen year old in awe, thinking wow he must be so much smarter and wiser than me, yet now I feel that I know so little and have so much more to learn than I ever had before.…

    The assessment step of the nursing process is extremely important in inter ethnic relationships between patients and nurses. To gather data about a patient of a culture different from the nurse's, the nurse needs to view the patient in the contexts within which he exists. For instance, as proposed by Giger and Davidhizer (1991), there are six cultural phenomena that affect health care and communication is one. Regarding the communication measure, miscommunication is a frequent problem in hospitals. The most obvious is when the patient and hospital staff does not speak the same language. There are often terms that others use which have different meanings to them. It is very important for nurses to be understood by patients especially during health teachings for cooperation and collaboration, thus resulting to an effective nursing care. But the more subtle problems are those that result from cultural differences in meanings of non-verbal behavior. Many Asians consider it disrespectful to look someone directly in the eye, especially if that person is a nurse, not because of disinterest or dishonesty. An Asian patient may avoid eye contact out of respect for the superior status of the nurse. Many Middle…

    Sick Role

    The patient reacts or responds selectively to people who can meet his or her needs so each patient responds differently to the sick role. The patient might actively need the nurse out or wait until the nurse professional seeks him/her out so the patient response is three folded so she may participate with and be independent with the nurses (ii) be autonomous and independent from the nurse (iii) be passive and dependant on the nurse. Throughout the identification phase, both the patient and nurse must clarify each other’s perceptions and expectations, post experiences of both the patient and nurse will have a bearing on what their expectations will be during this interpersonal process. The initial attitude of the patient and nurse are important in building a working relationship for identifying the problem and deciding on the appropriate assistance. (PEPLAUI’S PHASES IN NURSING)…
