IPE Student Observation

Decent Essays
On November 17, 2015, I was able to attend the IPE Campus Activity held in the old gym. This event consists of all health professional students attending Long Island University, Brooklyn Campus. I believe there were close to 500 students that attended the IPE event. The students were separated into teams of various health professions. The group I was part of consisted of three pharmacists, a respiratory care therapist, an occupational therapist, a physical therapist, two nurses, the facilitator (who is a physical therapist as well), and myself with a public health profession. We were given a case study of an elderly woman, Mrs. Chung, who had gone through several health complications. Mrs. Chung is a 77-year-old woman who fell in her home and

    1. Mrs. Carroll decided that day to begin ISTEP preparation with the students, using an audio book on the computer and a booklet for the students to study. The text that all the students listened to was Rikki Tikki Tavi by Rudyard Kipling, a short classic story that I thought was excellent for seventh graders to easily follow along and prepare them for ISTEP. I was sitting next to another student who has an IEP…

Throughout this paper, for the sake of confidentiality I will be referring to the private duty nurse that I interviewed as Danielle, and her patient as Racquel.

    While reading My Stroke of Insight, I was astonished by Jill Bolte Taylor’s positive outlook with her CVA and how well she recovered. Thoughts raced continuously throughout my mind with each page that I read in her book. Each chapter amazed me more. As an instructor, I would have my students to ask themselves whether they felt that Jill’s positive standpoint with her condition affected her overall recovery along with the time duration, if they think that the people surrounding Jill affected her recovery with how they treated her, and why do they think Jill waited so long to seek help while she was experiencing signs of a CVA? People have said that the outlook one has on life can affect life itself.…

    Volunteering as a Health Scholar at Riverside Community Hospital has given me any opportunities to go above and beyond for patients. During my rotation as a Patient Experience Ambassador, I was able to go into each room on the Telemetry floor and make sure each patient was as comfortable as possible while being able to talk to and get to know a few of them. One specific patient, however, seemed to be having a bad time but would never ask for anything because he did not want to bother the staff. I took this opportunity to make sure he was comfortable by checking with him every 30 minutes to see if I could help him adjust in the bed, could get him something to drink and even just talk to him. Eventually he did ask me for a newspaper and I searched…

    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.…

    At my clinical fieldwork site, Christiana Hospital located 45 minutes south of the Usciences campus, I have been placed in the acute care, stroke rehabilitation floor with a clinical instructor (CI) who has over 25 years of experience. Thus far it has been a great experience and I feel like my CI is learning along with me as we discuss our patients throughout the day. She is very receptive to my input and understands the importance of staying up to date on current occupational therapy topics. That is one reason why she takes on at least two Level I students, and one level II student each year. One topic I tend to mention often is the social support available to the patients we see and how that impacts her clinical reasoning for referring the…

    During the second week of class, one of my fellow classmates and I were provided the opportunity to engage with standardized patients (SPs), provide care, and develop our caring techniques (Bornais, J., El-Masri, M., Krahn, R. & Raiger, J., 2012). The scenario provided for this week involved Brandon Sharp, a gentleman who suffers from a spinal cord injury. When providing care for Brandon, my partner and I began by completing a focused assessment on his nervous system and moved onto bathing the SP, changing the soiled bedding, and completing a head-to-toe assessment, which we forgot to complete alongside the focused assessment. We then finished this provision of care by feeding Brandon applesauce & juice and moving him to his wheelchair via…

    Fall is one of the common problems in the hospital. It can be due to various reasons such as accident, related to medical condition such as vasovagal, dizziness related to postural hypotension or physical condition such as leg amputation, swollen or sore feet or negligence of the patient or carer including nurses. However, whatever is the cause of fall it can be reduced or prevented by appropriate assessment and interventions. In relation with the situation I experienced the incident can be prevented by proper assessment and good communication with the patient (Lovallo, Rolandi, Rossetti, & Lusignani, 2010).…

    As a registered nurse, I completed my senior practicum for the degree program at a diabetes clinic. I explored why their clients were a no show at booked appointments. Following, meeting with the team I listened to their concerns.

The program, named JLA (Junior Leadership Akron), is a non-profit that provides monthly leadership and community exposure to high school juniors from public and private schools in the Akron area.…
