Reflective Account On Taking Care

I was able to manage my assignments effectively. I prioritized each patient that I should be taking care by their needs. I always started by listening to shift report and looked for a patient that has impairment with Airway, breathing and circulation. I took care of those patients who are unstable right away. For example, I took all my patients vital signs and reported the valued to the nurse. I informed her that one of my patient blood pressure was elevated and we gave him blood pressure medications. I retook his vital signs in one hours and it was within normal limit. I saw my remaining patients as by need basis. Most of my patients were stable and they asked for water and snacks occasionally. I provided them with what they have requested as long as they did not have restriction.
Next, my biggest challenged was when I walked into a patient room and introduced my self and told them that I would be coming again to fulfill their needs when I could have accomplished their needs right there. It felt heart rendering, but I have to prioritize their needs between stable and unstable and time management. One of things that I did which made me felt like I made a difference was my assignments and patient teachings. I found out that my patient has myopia and tinnitus which no one has asked him before and it was not on his medical record. I informed the nurse about and recorded it. I took another patient who initials was C J. I got to witness a thoracentesis procedure and 1500ml of fluid was removed from both her lungs. With the removal of fluid, she was able to breath normal and felt better. These are my two nursing diagnoses and interventions which I am going to explain
