ECG Machine: Reassessment Analysis

Decent Essays
During a reassessment the ECG machine during stage 4 of the Modified Bruce protocol stopped working due to technical difficulties. This caused the patient to present frustration and irritation when he was informed that the following week he would need to be reexamined. He was very hesitant in being a part of it the first time and was not wanting to go through the hassle of it occurring again. He explained how he does not enjoy it and had already had one done by his cardiologist two months previously and was unaware of why he needed to be doing another one. After providing him with the information on why he was in need of doing one inside the clinic and of it’s significant importance and benefits to us when comparing his pervious results and to see where he may need progression or improvements.

I was able to slightly persuade then client by being confident in what I was trying to get address. I have noticed that I have improved on my confidence when speaking to clients and giving then information and I have noticed a greater level of understanding and willingness to adhere from my clients. It allows me to sound more acknowledgeable and that I am providing the correct information to address problems that may

    - The purpose of the Electrocardiogram test is to monitor and measure the quantity and quality of the electrical rhythm of the heart. Understanding the electrical rhythms of the heart is important because your heart's electrical system controls the timing of your heartbeat and you would have to understand how the electrical rhythm of the heart should be to know what problems may be occurring. There are three common variables that are encountered in an electrocardiogram which are the direction in which the signal is moving, the speed at which the signal is moving and the mass of the tissue through which the signal is moving. There are three different parts of an electrical signal which are P wave, QRS complex and T wave. P wave passes slowly…

    The need for patients to describe their illness and symptoms in detail is not always as obvious as wanting to have their condition understood by a member of health-care staff. This can be an opportunity for the patient to portray their feelings and anguish towards the challenges in every day life, more of a emotional release mechanism and a way of justifying to themselves how well they are coping with managing their conditions and illness. Simply having the opportunity to vent their frustrations while in the presence of someone who will listen can have a dramatic effect on the patients well-being. Iberg J : Focusing.

    Before we agreed on the way forward, I took time to inquire from the client which plans he had in mind to deal with the situation at hand. As the client expressed these strategies, I showed positive regard without any judgment which allowed the client to see success due to acceptance and lack of condemnation on my part. After he mentioned them, we discussed them to see how effective they would be in dealing with the problem. I later began engaging the client in the discussion where I began by telling him what I thought about the situation and developed a list of issues regarding my concerns. I also gave him a chance to think about my action proposal.…
