Summary Of Clinical Reflection
I learned this week that I should go with my gut when assessing a patient instead of deferring to the supervising technologist in the room. I had an elderly patient that said she could stand for the many x-rays that had been ordered by the doctor. Halfway through all of the images she was leaning on the buckey and was exhausted. I laid the patient on the table to finish the exam. The next time I have a gut feeling about a patient I will not hesitate to do what I believe is correct for the patient’s own safety and well-being.

    Parallel Requirements Of The HCPCC (SCOR)

    This forms a professional relationship between the radiographer and patient over which production of good quality images for diagnosis takes place and encourages patient involvement in their care. The effectiveness of the department is through the views of the patient, this could be done using a formal feedback mechanism to suggest what radiographers or the department could be better at. Most patients will feel pleased to be consulted about their experiences and happy to contribute to improving services for others. However, this is rarely practiced within imaging departments today; radiographers tend to discuss more on how to position and how it could have been done better for next time rather than viewing whether the patient was content about their performance, therefore it is clearly perceived that activities are not managed in a way that is free from bias in this context.…

    Clinical Assessment

    Mr. and Mrs. Lawson brought their 4-year-old adopted daughter, Clara, to see Dr. Mason, a psychiatrist. Clara was polite in greeting Dr. Mason, but did not smile and kept her gaze down as she took a seat. Mr. and Mrs. Lawson sat next to Clara and began explaining their concerns. They described Clara as a quiet child who has recently begun throwing temper tantrums, during which she is inconsolable. Her sleep and eating patterns have changed, and she no longer wants to go to preschool.…

    Reflection: Patient and Surgery Center

    Today’s clinical experience allowed for new education and skill practice. I was able to precept in post-op, which was a great change. Being in pre-op, we are responsible for receiving clients from the OR. We then monitor them, reeducate, prepare for and perform discharge, and cleaning the area that was used by disinfecting, tossing and replacing linens, and moving the bed to an empty room in pre-op. We receive report from the circulating nurse and the nurse anesthetist when they first bring the patient to recovery. Together we hook the patient up to the monitors and record the first set of vitals together. These include: blood pressure, heart rate, respirations, temperature, pulse ox, pain (if patient is conscious), and an ECG reading if they were general.…

    Nursing Reflective Analysis

    For my finial reflection I have decided to reflect on the reflective practice itself and my abilities to practice reflection, as it appears I am having some issues with the process. After receiving an A- on my last reflection, I spoke with my Faculty Advisor (FA) with the intention of discovering why I was not achieving marks in the A+ range on my reflections, and what I need to work on to improve on the quality of my reflections. Her feedback was that I was too broad in my approach; I spend too much time discussing the event and did not go into enough depth in my reflective analysis. I hope and anticipate that this reflection will be better; as I hope to demonstrate a deeper analysis of the issue and techniques I can use to improve my skills.…

    Clinical Experience Reflection

    I was very fortunate to get hands-on clinical experience here in Internal Medicine and Cardiology for four weeks. Apart from history taking with examination in both outpatient and inpatient settings with the case presentation in morning rounds and regular daily follow-up of patients, I had the chance to observe sleep studies in detail, how we practically look for any abnormality in each stage of sleep really fascinated me. Most exciting part of this rotation was getting familiarized with electronic medical records, which took me some time to adjust, but I was quite comfortable in it by the end of my second week here. Owing to my interest in Cardiology I gave a presentation on valvular heart diseases and words of encouragement and praise really…

    Nursing Reflection

    There are many instances in the recent past that will affect me greatly in my educational pursuits at Colorado Christian University. I am currently employed as a full time nurse and have been for the better part of the last five years. In that time, I have worked in several different settings; I’ve worked acute care, critical care, obstetrics, pediatrics, emergency care, and long term care. No matter what setting I’ve worked, I’ve noticed that my personality and faith play a big role in the care I provide my patients. Another key component that affects the care I provide is my knowledge; I am always looking for ways to expand that knowledge. In the past, I haven’t put a lot of effort into my schooling. However, with my growing experience as…

    Reflection: Surgery and Reflective Practice

    The assignment critically discusses a reflective practice with regards to a clinical placement I undertook. In the following critical incident that I encountered I will utilize the Gibbs Reflective Model. Gibbs reflective model is fairly straightforward and encourage a clear description of the situation. Analysis of feelings, evaluation of the experience, analysis to make sense of the experience, conclusion and action plan where other options are considered and reflection upon experience to examine what you would do if the situation arose again (Gibbs 1998). Unlike many other models (with the exception of Boud) Gibbs model takes in to account the realm of feelings and emotions, which played a part in a particular event. My rationale for using the reflection framework to the clinical encounter is to try and demonstrate my ability to link theory to practice during the process of reflection. I also choose the Gibbs model to help me structure this paper. The model was also chosen to help demonstrate critical reflection within my role of being a student in the practice learning environment. Through my discussion I will also be applying the literature which underpins my experiences in practice. The way the reflection would be defined and a brief description of the surgical procedure including the complications which can arise will be also discussed. Siviter (2008) points out that by using a model of reflection as a guide the practitioner can find the process of reflecting easier. Johns (2004) cautions that a model could become a prison that the practitioner tries to fit into rather than a tool to make sense of a situation. I would suggest that a model should be used as a framework by which reflection is structured, but not followed as a rigid guide which could hamper the practitioner’s reflective account. Bolton (2005) supports this by implying that a less structured approach instead of a restrictive framework would be more suited to helping the practitioner develop…

    I initially presumed that taking medical history and performing physical assessment on standardized patients during simulation would be easy tasks to complete. I have been exposed to a similar simulation before and have first-hand experience and knowledge about history and physical assessment. I learned a great deal about my interaction with the standardized patients, which could reflect my connection with my real patients at work.…

    Reflective Practice In Health And Social Care

    “Reflective practice is a process by which you: stop and think about your practice, consciously analyse your decision making and draw on theory and relate it to what you do in practice.” (Csp.org.uk, 2014). Reflective practice allows us to evaluate how we provide care and to learn from both good and bad outcomes. It is important to be open, honest and critical when reflecting on our work. A diary may be utilised to help you reflect by yourself or you may find it beneficial to work with a colleague working through the findings together, (group supervision).…

    Pre-Med Reflection

    Even as a sophomore, I understood that helping others succeed is essential. In my later years, I have perceived firsthand how vital such teamwork is. When a patient is admitted to the hospital for an operation, the pathologists, the nurses, the physician assistants, anesthesiologists, surgeons, and pharmacists all play a vital role in the concerted delivery of health care. In spite of this, many professors at Duke encourage incessant competition between pre-med students. Many of our courses are curved, and that means that it is in each student’s best interest for his or her peers to do poorly. This is not representative of the cooperative nature of the health care professions, nor is the increased competition conducive to learning.…

    Nursing Class Reflection

    While taking this class I was able to learn several strategies for taking nursing exams. I learned three Ideas that will use during the unit exams, final exams and the HESI exam. As instructed by Silvestri (2014), I learned to read every word of the question completely. In the past I would quickly read the question and over looked a key word(s) like “do first” or “priority”. Secondly, I will determine if the question presented is a positive question where they are asking for the nurse to do something, or I will determine if the question presented is a negative question where they are asking “what should the nurse avoid”; “which prescription the nurse should question”. Finally, during the priority questions I will use the ABCs and Maslow’s Hierarch of Needs technique to answer questions that are based on nursing.…
