3. Discuss your personal growth as a result of the experience(s). (2 points)

As I went through these experiences, I realized that at any given time once I start my professional career as a nurse, I will have a patient faced with one of the complications experienced in either the conference or in other activities preformed. I realized that each member has a different role to play, and I must respect them if I want to have a smooth day. I must be willing to work as a team to get the best results possible for my patient.

During care coordinator experience, I learned how the hospital runs behind the scenes. Everyone was so professional and did not show any signs of frustration, when beds were not available when needed. Each person continued to work well together and helped out when possible. I had no idea the care coordinator did so much to keep everything running smooth. After this experience, I understand how important it is to make sure that the patient discharge planning is starting upon arrival to the hospital. On occasion, it was noted that step 2 was not completed when the patient was already on step 5. As a nurse, I need to make sure that everything is completed in a well-defined timeframe, so

Throughout the Winter Emergency Conference, I learned what it means to put the patient first. There was a speaker who talked about Professionalism and he asked the group what it means. Most of the answers included; trust, autonomy, honesty, and respect. I learned not to put my interest ahead of my patients’ and that I am violating my profession by performing unnecessary tests, disclosure. I need to remember who is paying, which is my patient. That is why I need to put my patient first. When talking about clinical reasoning one speaker talked about the use of heuristics, which is an approach to problem solving, learning a discovery.

    The second ethical issue that is brought to attention is using the ACEP code of ethics as a guiding source to ethically deliver emergency medical care, including providing high quality care, and affordable care. Having too many patients at one time, makes it difficult for the physicians to give each emergency patient high quality care. The ethical principles physicians follow are to embrace patient welfare, respond promptly without prejudice, respect the patient’s rights, communicating honestly with patients, respect patient confidentiality, take appropriate action to protect patients from health care fraud, work cooperatively with others, continuing education in order to provide high quality…

    The patients are also affected because the patient-professional relationship is built on veracity, and some patients are not receiving the correct medications if they were stolen, which can impact their health and quality of life. Emily has decision-making authority in this situation, but the dilemma of her own malpractice is preventing her from sharing the information. Also, the two primary stakeholders have unequal status within the hospital because Emily is young and relatively new at her job, but Sandra is a respected supervisor who has been at the facility for a number of years.

    Introduction My personal ethics include deontological ethics, beneficence, and nonmaleficence, all of which can be utilized in professional ethics. However, personal and professional ethics may clash in difficult healthcare dilemmas, so it is important to distinguish between them. Deontological ethics can be referred to as “duty-based ethics” because it concentrates on a person’s duties to others, telling the truth, and keeping promises (Pozgar, 2016, p. 11). Beneficence is the principle of doing good, displaying kindness and compassion, and helping others.…

    Croskerry and Nimmo (2011) have developed several strategies that can further decrease diagnostic errors by analyzing the dual process model of thinking and advocate for all physicians to “think about thinking” (Croskerry & Nimmo, 2011). They argue that physicians should not only use their analytical reasoning more frequently but can also improve their intuitive reasoning by employing the following strategies: (1) “Accept conflict in choice;” (2) Make the “scientific method intuitive;” (3) “Acknowledge Emotions;” and (4) Recognize and “censor” intuitions that automatically pop up. Focusing on how to improve type 1 reasoning is only part of the problem because analytical reasoning often plays an integral role in procuring a diagnosis and catching any errors caused by using intuitive, fast reasoning. Croskerry et al. say that for optimum clinical performance, doctors must be able to “toggle” between analytical and intuitive thought based on whichever mode of thinking is most conducive to solving the given task at hand.…
