    ICU Field Experience

    My field supervisor was out sick today so I get to experience a new area of the hospital today, the ICU. It was so interesting to see how differently the ICU social worker, Lynne, works in comparison to Jamie. There is a lot less patient interaction since the ICU patients are in much worse conditions and a majority of them were not even conscious. Lynne’s case load seems much more complicated as she works with families and other agencies.…

    Lewis Blackman Case Study

    We find a multitude of system communications breakdown and key knowledge issues but even more than that the seemingly insular attitude on the part of the nurses is a key dynamic behind the facts. First of all, Lewis Blackman was placed on a non-surgical ward. This is where it seems the nurses misunderstood his symptoms of pain, the meaning of dark circles, bloating, sweating, reduced temperature, and being extremely pale as problems related to routine post surgical issues. Furthermore, the staff failed to see the symptoms of an acute abdomen and react emergently. In addition, nurses neglected to arc up the mother’s concern to the attending physician.…

Intensive care unit (ICU) is an environment where often the most fragile patients are, and where they receive treatment. During their sometimes prolonged stay in ICU, patients often experience strong physical and psychological stress, including critical life threatening illness, terror, lack of privacy, noises, pain, sedation, sleep deprivation, delirium and the unnatural ICU environment (Ullman and all, 2014). These experiences impact on a patient’s recovery from critical illness and may result in both physical and psychological disorders (Ullman…
