Patient History Video Analysis
After reviewing my patient history video, some things that I would change would be asking her how often does he finger lock. This is an appropriate question, but I asked her this question twice. What I meant to say was, when the locking occurs, how long does your finger stay locked in that position? This explains to me that forgetting the questions you asked previously is common, especially when you are not used to interviewing someone. When I am asking the client questions, I need to pay close attention, so I am listening to their responses and not just writing them down. If I had to give this interview again, I would ask my client what activities today causes her pain and what is her hobbies? When I asked the client, what activities cause

    The thing I found most interesting was the clinician’s ability to keep the client on task and always bring him back when he lost focus. The other was how many different activities the clinician had planned for the fifty-minute session. She kept the client very busy as to not lose his focus, yet still managing to keep everything tied into the goals she had laid…

    According to Lloyd and Craig, taking a patient history is the most important aspect of patient assessment because information from the history is essential in guiding the treatment and management of the patient (p. 48). In this article, these two authors provide the reader with an easy to follow guide to professionally collect accurate patient information from the generalized public that is organized and prioritized through a systemic approach. The first step of this systemic process is preparing a professional, safe and private environment that is free from distractions so the patient feels comfortable disclosing confidential information to the nurse. “The nurse should be able to gather information in a systemic, sensitive and professional manner. Good communication skills are essential.” (Lloyd & Craig, 2007). Introducing yourself, using active listening, avoiding jargon, maintaining eye contact and holding an interested posture are examples of good communication skills. “It is important to use appropriate questioning techniques to ensure nothing is missed when taking a patient history.” (Lloyd & Craig, 2007). Begin the assessment process by using open questioning to discuss the presenting complaint to gather information. Then clarify this information with closed questions by focusing on cardinal symptoms. According to Lloyd and Craig, it is important to concentrate on symptoms and not on diagnosis to ensure that no…

    Interviewing clients can seem like a daunting task if the provider is unsure of the own skills. Adhering to the three stage of interviewing can ease the burden felt by both the provider and client. Stage 1 is exploration, this stage is meant to help clients identify their experiences and issues (Evans, Hearn, & Uhlemann, 2011, Chapter 1: Attending Behavior. p. 8). Reflective listening, questions, and behavior allow clients to feel heard and validated. Body language and verbal communication allow for open ended questions and reflective answers. This stage sets the tone for positive engagement between client and provider.…

    Mosquitos are the deadliest vector on Earth, meaning that they carry many different types of viruses. In order to control the rapid spreading of these viruses through mosquitos, different groups of people started to use different pesticides to kill the insects carrying the viruses since it mutates too quickly in order to create a vaccine for many, such as Malaria or The West Nile Virus. One benefit of using pesticides to kill the mosquitos is that it helps to bring down the spreading of viruses since the vector is destroyed. This allows crops to grow quickly without insects and the viruses they carry from killing of the crops. The increase in the amount of crops causes the prices of the crops to come down, both stimulating the economy. A second benefit is that the use of pesticides creates jobs, which also stimulates the economy. One thing that is bad about the use of pesticides is that people can ingest the pesticides and it could cause illness and in some cases, death. Another bad thing about the use of pesticides is that pesticides can destroy the environment by killing more things than they are supposed to, interfering with the food chain leading to the death of other species. I do not support the use of pesticides because they lead to the death of humans and other species which I do not believe is an acceptable activity if people are dying and the environment is being destroyed by the use of them. There are good things about the use of pesticides, but there are also many drawbacks to using it.…
