The onus for this issue is on both the patient and the provider, but the medical professional should understand that not everyone understands medical terminology. Dr. Williams should have asked the patients if there were any questions and if they understood everything as it was being explained to…

Regarding failure of service to service user, one scenario is from my previous placement experience. Mr England(not real name), 45 years old, Elective Appendectomy, no past medical history, admitted in pre-op day surgery ward in night for following morning operation. Due to emergency events, the operation postponed and then slotted in second day morning. The operation finished before lunch time and when I was on night shift with mentor on the same day, his post operation EMS score was raised from handover 0 to 3. He also made a complaint of “starved”.…
Collaboration For All Scrutinizing Teamwork Smooth and amicable cooperation between two or more individuals is a vital component in any personal or work-based relationship. From previously feuding lovers striving to coalesce the fragments of their broken marriage, to an operating room packed to the brim full of doctors and nurses, working as a team builds unshakeable connections and engenders the most significant of improvements in human interaction. While it is evident that teamwork is beneficial to all affiliated members, it is often a difficult factor to establish and enforce. The reason being is that people do not perceive certain situations in the same manner as their peers, and often remain entirely unaware of such non-mutual perceptions.…
Usually during the interprofessional patient rounds, all the members of the health care team work together for the benefit of the patient. But during the rounds, sometimes the health care team come across challenges which need to be encountered. For instance, antibiotic was prescribed to a 24-year-old patient (30 kg), but according to the patient’s weight the dose was very high. Intensivist and pharmacist recommended to decrease the dose or change the antibiotic based on the patient’s weight and health condition. The conflict was between the two doctors in the interprofessional team.…
Empiric Knowing From a traditional standpoint, empiric implies an objective, non-theoretic observation, which implies that the meaning exists in what is observed apart from the interpretations of the observer (Chinn & Kramer, 2011, p. 154). Chinn & Kramer (2011) further describe empiric knowledge as that which is developed from controlled experimental studies as well as naturalistic methods that rely on interacting with and understanding the nature of experience as it is perceived (p. 154). The main point I can draw from my scenario would be the lack of knowledge I had to identify that a bloodshot eye was a big side effect to note and report. Empiric knowing raises the question “what is this? And how does it work?”…
It is important to note that the measurement of TSA has received far less attention than individual-based SA. In their classic paper, Prince et al. (1997) outlined the importance of measuring TSA. Firstly, in order to move theory beyond the conceptual phase development of psychometric measurement tools is imperative. Secondly, quantifiable indicators of team SA will help in articulating the constituents of good SA.…
Interprofessional communication is the key when it comes to developing and identifying respect and appreciation for other health professionals, in order to provide the patient with well rounded care (Conn, Lingard, Reeves, Miller, Russell & Zwarenstein, 2009). Refined communication skills are essential for strong inter-professional interactions (Kairuz, & Bond, 2013). Our group was preselected so the initial stage of formation was rather smooth, but as we began to negotiate about the roles and allocate tasks there was slight tension between us all (Lingard, Resnick, Espin, Regehr, & DeVito, 2002), however this was resolved by working as a team. We were able to allocate certain roles as there was no other interest by people in the group to obtain that role, but the remaining roles were allocated by elimination, along with any other tasks. Once the tension was put aside I was allocated the role of the PDHPE teacher of Jenny and the facilitator of the meeting.…
Delivering the highest quality of care of our patient is the ultimate goal of every nurse in this profession. Effective nurse-patient communication and the whole health team are essential in ensuring that this goal being met. Miscommunication or failure to communicate the patient information effectively among the health team can result in poor care, medical mistake and can even be harmful to the patient. (Paget, L., Han, P., Nedza, S., Kurtz, P., Racine, E., Russell, S., Santa, J., Schumann, M., Simha, J. and Von Kohorn, I. 2011, June). Nurses need to have a clear understanding of their ethical obligation and how it can impact the patient care.…
For this paper I will define the seven principles of patient-clinician communication, how I apply each of these to my interactions with my patients, methods being used to improve interdisciplinary communication, the one that applies best to my area of practice and describe how I use it, the ethical principles that can be applied to issues in patient-clinician communication, and the importance of ethics in communication and how patient safety is influenced by good or bad team communication. Communication between patient and clinician is imperative for the best possible outcomes. Principles of Communication First I will define the seven principles of patient-clinician communication. The first concept is mutual respect, which is patient and…
It is very easy to be convicted of a crime of a wrong doing in the medical field. This is why it is imperative for everyone to be aware of all laws pertaining to their job and the office they work for. Knowing the laws that govern them and their patients will help in the long run. A medical team works best when there is trust between them.…
Impaired Nursing Practice Audrey Aziz Crystal DeBeary Briah Lynch Dorian Issac Coppin State University The problem of impaired nursing practice has and continues to be a prevalent issue in the nursing world. Impaired nursing can be defined in various ways, however most definitions include that professional judgment is impaired due to the use of drugs or alcohol (or mental illness) and thus interferes with the ability of the health professional to provide quality, safe nursing care (Hutson, 2014). The National Council of State Boards of Nursing estimates that the “prevalence of nurses suffering from addiction to drugs, alcohol, or other forms of substance abuse is 16%” (National Council of State Boards of Nursing, 2010). However,…
I have focused this reflection assignment on an issue I was faced with during my third year placement in an acute hospital on a surgical ward. I felt very uneasy and awkward throughout the entire experience. I have focused on one issue that stood out the most for me and discussed this in detail. The issue was that my communication skills were ineffective due inexperience. I had not dealt with a patient experiencing a miscarriage until this placement which made me feel unprepared.…
There has been a history of poor communication in the medical field that has stemmed from physicians not being able to communicate well. Physicians are having issues trying to use medical terminology and also convey the meaning of the terminology to their patients. Some patients walk away from the doctor 's office feeling as though they still don 't understand what exactly is going on with them. Physicians do not realize that the medical terminology is creating a disconnect between their patients. Communication in the Health Care System is a skill that is necessary for Physicians; however, they lack the ability to listen, speak w/o using medical jargon, and write effectively.…
If you and your team work together in the best possible way you will be able to accomplish things you would have never even thought possible. The book said that none of us is as smart as all of us. I one hundred percent agree with that. As much as some people like working alone and by themselves, I don’t think that they can ever get as much done as a team could, by working together. Teamwork can be very underestimated, especially if you don’t know your own potential or have trouble seeing what can get accomplished.…
