    Root Cause Analysis: Sentinel Events

    Nurses need to be effective with their critical thinking skills and utilize the resources at hand. Using base knowledge to prevent catastrophic events from occurring, such as the potentiation effect of medication. Knowing ,when we as nurses, have met our ability to perform effectively and need assistance is not only important for our well being but the well being of the patient and the organization as a whole. Integrating teamwork in the patient care effort not only builds a solid foundation for the organization but also for the positive outcome of the patient being treated. If for some unfortunate reason an adverse event does occur nurses must remember they “provide valuable insights into care processes when working with patient safety leaders as part of a root cause analysis team. Nurses ' unique knowledge of the care provided is essential for designing the best improvements in care processes” (Hall, Moore, & Barnsteiner, 2008). Probably among the most import ways a nurse can improve quality of care is his/her own self care. This can be done in many ways. Meditation for stress reduction, continuing education for confidence in patient care, are just a few examples. Having a rested, positive, confident attitude when preparing and performing patient care can make difference and help her do no harm and give the utmost quality of care to each patient she/he comes in contact…

    Crisis Management Communication Plan Hsc 350

    Sometimes it is something that we can predict. Other times the crisis happens upon us suddenly and without warning. In departments such as the Emergency Department (ED), crisis can generally be expected and the ED staff can safely believe that there will be a crisis during their shift. The outcome of the crisis can depend on how it is approached and dealt with. A patient’s rapid deterioration of their state of health or arrest in front of the family is a common crisis situation that occurs where I work. This puts the staff as well as the patient and patient’s family in crisis mode. I feel that my job as the patient’s nurse is to make sure that the situation flows as efficiently as possible. Crisis communication needs to be initiated immediately. My verbal and nonverbal communication can affect the situation. I also need to pick up on the verbal and nonverbal cues of the family. It is also important to collaborate with the team, listen to both staff and families and communicate in a professional manor. Active listening is a prominent quality of a leader, along with how they lead the team. A positive approach is always best while maintaining clear and concise communication. There are times when it is necessary to use assertive communication. This is true when dealing with a difficult person, staff or family member. The nurse needs to be a leader, professional and assertive in order to…

    Becoming An Anesthesiologist

    They communicate with hundreds of people each day; therefore, doing so efficiently and carefully is difficult but essential. Anesthesiologists have a large number of people working under them that require their supervision (Novak). On a daily basis an anesthesiologist has to coordinate with other physicians, nurse anesthesiologists, their assistants, and their patients (Greenwood). Anesthesiologists are the role models for their assistants and nurses; hence, setting a good example and giving clear instructions is important to their work. Also, building a secure and trusting relationship with each patient is very important. Patients know that they are putting their life in their anesthesiologist’s hands and making them feel comfortable is critical. Sometimes an anesthesiologist meets with his patients only 10 minutes prior to surgery to discuss technical issues in a straightforward manner so patients are knowledgeable about the effects each anesthetic will have on them (“Anesthesiologist Career”). Also, patients are going to be stressed out and very nervous before surgery. Anesthesiologists need to be friendly and comforting to help their patients feel better; in addition to, the patient’s family or loved ones. (Greenwood). Being an anesthesiologist does not just take intelligence and an exceptional amount of education; it requires strong communication skills such as being…

    NHS Reflective Essay

    I worked in the imaging department, alongside many professionals for 14 days. The most useful skill I gained from there was my enhancement in communication and confidence in my patient approach. I spent a lot of time with patients as I was responsible for calling out the patient’s name from the waiting room and assisting them to the room they needed to be in. I noticed that most patients had a fearful look on their face, after I engaged in a conversation they seemed much more at ease. That was when I realised the importance of patient communication and how much of an effect it has on their experience at the hospital.…

    Over the course of the first quarter in the nurse’s office, I have learned a range of skills and absorbed an array of information in the short amount of time. I have learned certain aspects of my personality and realized that I am indeed compatible with the medical world. The experience has allowed me to learn that the field of medicine is a constant pursuit of new knowledge rather than competition of brute memorization of set standards. With this knowledge, I am bracing myself for the future workload and stress load that college will have in preparation for me. Overall, the experience I had so far in the sterilized nurse’s office was a fun, interesting yet cathartic.…
