Adult Health III Reflective Journal 5 My goal for this clinical was to understand the interventions that were part of my patient’s plan of care. My patient was in the hospital because of a gunshot wound and he also had acute respiratory distress syndrome from pulmonary edema.
My patient had an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) done in his room. The gastroenterologist was in the patient room with members of the surgery team to place a device called a bear claw. My patient had a small bowel resection and drainage from a Jackson-Pratt and a Tru-Close wound drain. The function of the bear claw is to clamp and pull tissue from the intestines together to form closure and prevent stool from seeping into the abdominal cavity.
A strength that I identified
