Hysterectomy: Clinical Analysis

Decent Essays
This week at clinical I had a Gyn patient for two days and a new mom and baby on the second clinical day. My patient that had on Tuesday with the hysterectomy was a very quiet and kind lady who was recovering very well from her surgery. During and after her cares we were able to connect through learning about her family she grew up with, her family she had grown of her own and about her children and other interests of hers. It made me feel good being able to own the moment through connecting with my patient that also made collaborating and working as a team much easier throughout the day to complete the needed tasks. Another aspect of making the shift go very smoothly was working with Brenda, I enjoyed collaborating with her as she is fast-paced

    A Respiratory Therapists role in long-term care facility and Homecare My time working at CCOH and RHCS was exciting and interesting. Although they are both respiratory therapist jobs, they each demonstrated something different. While CCOH showed how it is to work in a long-term facility and have consistent patient interaction. At RHCS driving around to the client’s place of business or residence to check on, or collect the equipment, made it personal able.…

    My LCI scores are Sequence 28, Precision 35, Technical Reasoning 22, and Confluence 19. I had worked as the Dietary Director at an Skilled Nursing Home for a short period of time. As the departments director, I was required to manage staffing, supplies, and overall functions of the department. What I most enjoyed about the job was, being able to interact with people and sit down with them to go over their needs. Teaching the staff new and more proficient ways to compete tasks was also something I enjoyed quite a bit.…

We laugh, sing and dance together and this is when the day’s activity is over. Some of the residents are speech impaired, but I give them a big smile and asked them “how are you doing today?”…

    Being incompetent, Ashly will never exercise such principle as autonomy. Her significant others have to decide on the ways on how to maintain her quality of life on the possible highest level. To determine what could be in her best interest, we may use the principle of beneficence. I would try to find out whether the very specific treatment that Ashly’s parents chose for their daughter benefited or hurt her. I agree with the group of people who argue that authorization for such aggressive treatment is much beyond of parental authority (Lyons, 2010, p. 51) and the risks of a hysterectomy outweigh the discomfort or potential skin problems associated with her menses.…

    Today at Simulation Lab I performed health history on a patient. Firstly, I commenced by preparing myself for the interview. Although I was nervous, as a nurse I had to be confident and prepare myself mentally and kept an open mind to meet the patient. In addition to preparing myself, I prepared the environment, making sure seating and arrangement was in place and the room was comfortable and private. Having done this, I utilized Florence Nightingale’s theory of environmental need.…

    What? When we started our clinical day on October 21st, the client I was assigned to care for had just left for an angioplasty procedure that would last through most of the morning. While the client was gone, I offered to help the nurses with anything that was within my scope of practice. Once the client returned to the ward, however, I had to catch up with my assessments while taking vital signs and doing vascular checks every 30 minutes for 2 hours, which kept me busy.…

    When the patient was in labor and began pushing, I aided in supporting one of her legs while the nurse supported the other. I think it was truly amazing to see a child being brought into the world. The postpartum care was also a teamwork. While my preceptor was getting the ice pack, I filled the peri-bottle with warm water and placed dry tower on the bathroom floor to prevent falls. I remembered from class lecture to check for clots in the urine because abnormal size (golf ball size) can be concerning.…
