Vsu Student Reflection Paper
Today I was assigned in VSU-Student Health Center and the two points that I am going to address on this clinical setting are: What is your analysis of interdisciplinary or interagency functioning and communication, decision-making process, team functioning and collaboration; and Will you function differently as a result of something you learned, if so how?
VSU-Student Health Center caters mainly VSU students. Since it is a May semester, I have seen only, two students for clinical check-up.
My first patient is an 18-year-old, black female who came for abdominal pain. To plan and provide nursing care on this patient, I did a focused assessment first. As the patient answered some of my questions, I have figured out that the patient has undergone abortion last March 21, 2017 and she never went back for a 2-week follow-up appointment. She has a constant pain in her mid-abdomen that radiates going to her pelvic area to the back. Her pain level is 7/10. Her V/S are normal except BP was 135/95.

With the help of my clinical preceptor, I reported my assessment findings to the primary health care provider using SBAR communication. In return the primary health care provider could decide which diagnostic tests were needed to be ordered.

    Promoting interdisciplinary care is essential to any functional and successful healthcare setting for both patients and staff. In the given case study there are several disciplines that are not being utilized to the benefit of Ms. W (FNP) and Ms. R, the patient. As the nurse supervisor it would be my responsibility to ensure that staff members on every level knew the resources available to them and how they could benefit the patients. To spread this information an employee meeting may be appropriate so that all staff members could communicate their roles and opportunities for patient involvement. This would also need to include the steps a practitioner would follow to engage an appropriate discipline.…

    Great minds think alike. In healthcare, great minds think alike but with vastly different perspectives. Although brilliance within the medical field is without limit, the unique perspective and individuality of each professional is what allows health care to thrive and adapt to new times and technology, all while still striving to achieve the main goal of providing excellent patient care. To best utilize this wide variety of intelligence, many health care facilities incorporate interdisciplinary collaboration. Although educating personnel and students on interdisciplinary collaboration may lead to complications with comprehension and confidence, utilizing input from various departments through collaboration drastically improves patient prognosis…

    After reading several of my students posting for this week, I can see the similarities in ever practicum settings. Even though, we all complete our practicum at different settings, the overall role and services were the same. As a social worker our goals are to be that helping agent that connect people to different services. At Adult Protection Services, case workers are advocate, facilitators, case managers, brokers, and networkers. Personally speaking to be a successfully social worker, we have to be all those professional skills and roles. Our job consist of advocating on behalf of our clients, assisting with services, linking clients outside resources and services, and fighting the state and federal government to ensure these vulnerable people continue to have their rights.…

    Writing a paper about one of my experiences was definitely strange. Although I have written a reflection paper before, my teacher had told me that he did not get the point of my paper. As a result, seeing my first real college paper edited by the teacher made me realize that I have a lot of room for improvement in my writing.
