Summary: A Week Reflective Analysis

Decent Essays
Look back This week reflective analysis is based on intraoperative irrigation fluid spill on the floor during cystoscopy and hysteroscopy.
Elaborate
This I realize when I was in gynecology department.During vaginal hysterectomy when the surgeon was performing a cystoscopy and during myomectomy, the surgeon was performing the hysteroscopies, I found that there was a fluid spill on the floor. Both procedures, I found that spill of irrigation fluid is a common issue even if the scrub nurse provide kidney basin to collect the fluid not to spill on the floor.During these procedures, to visualize the uterus or bladder continuous fluid irrigation is necessary(Rothrock 2015).Those fluids are using according to the procedure and surgeon preference.

    The purpose of this body of work was to address medication errors and safe medication administration practices in relation to practicing nurses and nursing students via several different approaches. These different approaches will be presented as three separate papers but interrelated themes.

The approach used in the first paper was a systematic literature search of medication administration errors and the pediatric population; five themes emerged including the incidence rate of medication administration errors, specific medications involved in medication administration errors and classification of the errors, why medication…

    Postoperative note as follows. Ms. [Name] presented [Date] for evaluation of a left posterior bladder wall lesion consistent with either a tumor versus fistula tract. She had previously undergone CT IVP which demonstrated a diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon with air within the bladder. There was also apparent communication between the sigmoid colon and the bladder, although the CAT scan was non-contrast. This was suspicious for evidence of a colovesicular fistula.…

    Katelyn Baker 09-27-2014 Monday-Thursday 7:30-9:30 MRSA: Lori Popp’s Story I had the chance to listen to guest speaker Lori Popp talk about what happened to her after going through a bariatric operation and the complications that came with it. Her story really opened my eyes to what is happening in the world and health care settings. She taught me to be cautious because not every health care worker takes the proper precautions when working with their patients. This is how she acquired MRSA, because her surgeon did not follow proper protocol. Lori endured multiple antibiotic treatments, but more than anything she had to endure a terribly great number of surgeries; currently somewhere near 60 surgeries, to help control her MRSA infection because…

    Throughout my experience of being a student the most interesting advanced imaging procedure I observed was a hysterosalpingogram. Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an x-ray procedure used with fluoroscopy to visualize if the fallopian tubes are open and if the uterus looks healthy and normal. Woman usually have this exam if they are having trouble getting pregnant or have abnormalities with their uterus. I’ve only observed a handful of HSG’s but, I find them to be an exam where you really connect with the patient.…

    The reasons this patient requires retrograde and antegrade pyelography is because there were three distinct abnormalities on IVP, which could have been responsible for the hematuria. IVP is a more sensitive for detection of small lesions of the ureter or renal pelvis. The IVP has a higher sensitivity and specificity than an abdominal plain film for the detection of stones and provides data about the degree of obstruction. The IVP can also visualize both the bladder and the upper urinary tracts. It was previously the diagnostic procedure of choice, but is no longer because of potential contrast reactions, lower sensitivity, and higher radiation exposure.…

    Interprofessional Journal: Teamwork in an Emergency Callan F. Vaneps Bemidji State University Interprofessional Journal: Teamwork in an Emergency While interacting with my mentor at a clinical day in the Acute Rehabilitation Unit (ARU), an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurse came through the department walking briskly.

    I am now half way through with Summer Session II and the transition between high school and college has been exciting, but also overwhelming. A few differences I have noticed between my high school classes and my college classes are the size difference, the diversity in students, and the faster pace. In my high school, the average number of students in each class was about 25 to 35 compared to my biggest class now at about 200 students. Additionally, the students in my class before were mainly Hispanic, but now everywhere I look I am able to see people of different cultures and that is something that is so important to me. The reason for this is that, while I did not grow up in a diverse area, I believe that growing up around different people…

    Today I was able to observe Nurse Clea inserting a straight catheter. This procedure was indicated because the patient was not able to have a urine output for four to six hours approximately. The patient’s lower abdominal quadrants were distended and patient was grimacing in pain when Nurse Clea was palpating her abdomen. After the catheter insertion, we were able to see a urine output of 650 milliliters. Nurse Clea explained that she has to inform the doctor that the patient is not ready yet to void independently and that her foley catheter should be re-inserted again to alleviate patient’s discomfort.…

    Joining the New Visions program was one of the wisest decisions I have made. When nurses that I shadow at Unity Hospital express how jealous they are that they didn’t have a program like this when they were in high school, it reminds me to take advantage of this opportunity that not every student receives. I am confident that when I graduate college, I will be able to recollect this program, and how it led me to be successful. I will reminisce about the long hours dedicated to each college-level assignment in determination to receive a grade in the high 90’s, or that moment when I witnessed a five pound baby be born from a cesarean delivery, or even when I stood next to the operating table observing a total knee replacement surgery, while the surgeon and nurses took the time to teach me about what they were doing--an opportunity that not even college nursing students were able to see. Every assignment I completed, conversation I had, and person I met, has transformed me into a more educated and open minded student.…

    It spells out the indication for catheterization and the decision making steps to guide removal or retention of the catheter. It has more emphasis on postoperative patients, whose catheters should be removed on first postoperative day. However it is silent on other patients who have catheters inserted. The revised protocol proposed on clear instruction on assessment for need for catheterization and when to discontinue. For each day a catheter is left in situ, the patient risk of acquiring UTI increase by 3-10% and up to 100% if the catheter remain in place for over 30 days (Nix, Denise, and Ann Marie Pettis. 2012).…

    In this study, patients were allowed to see the screen if they wished. Patients were, however, unable to see whether the bag was being squeezed, although they were informed beforehand that the bag squeeze might make the discomfort better or worse. Although the patients were unaware of whether the bag was squeezed in this study, the cystoscopist was aware of which technique was used. This was because with the bag squeeze technique, the external urethral sphincter was often clearly visualized to open as the irrigating fluid bag was manually squeezed. Perhaps the slight increase in time allowed for squeezing and urethral distension was partly responsible for the reduced patient discomfort.…

    And anybody who knows that a break in sterile technique has occurred should be able to and feel free to speak up and point it out so that the proper correction can be made immediately. Some doctors may break sterile technique, especially if it’s an emergency situation or procedure; they may just throw their gloves on and begin the surgery while everyone else is still setting up the mayo stand. This being said you must develop your surgical conscience. This will come with lots of time and experience, but part of it is also not being afraid to speak up. Part of the circulating nurse’s role in the OR is to say step and say that something isn’t right.…
