I was able to help the nurses by giving the patient their medication, taking their vital signs, placing leads, and talking to them to distract them from their stress of the procedure.

What criteria were used to determine if the patient could be discharged home?
All the patients went home after one or two hours after the procedure was completed. The nurses immediately assess their vital signs and allow some time to awake them to assess their level of consciousness.

    I would approach patients with a smile and ask if there is anything that I can do for them. Also if a patient needed someone to talk to I would be willing to listen to them, because sometimes when people are in the hospital they can feel extremely lonely because they feel like they are in strange place with no one to talk to or who cares about them. That's why I feel that it's important to approach patients with a smile and to be willing to listen to them, since just showing that you care about them can brighten up their whole day as well as put them in a more positive mindset to improve their health. in the end this is extremely important because as Clinical Care Extender/ PreStep- Health Care Scholar it makes it easier to notice if somethings…

    Patient safety always has and will continue to be one of, if not the most important thing to consider when taking care of any patient or resident. Some things I do to increase the safety of the resident is motivating the use of assistive devices, as well as the proper clothing and shoes to assure that the resident will not fall down as they are moving about the facility. Another way I enforce safety is using gloves when dealing with a patient to ensure that there will be no infection spread between me and the resident or between resident and resident. I also make sure to wash my hands or use hand sanitizer before and after an interaction with residents. This also works against preventing the spread of anything between people and residents.…

    During my attendance to the Seattle Children’s Hospital Nursing Camp, I job shadowed multiple Registered Nurses in the Cancer Care Unit, Medical Floor, Operating Room, and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. In each department, I was able to observe the daily tasks of a nurse and how they interact with different patients. Not only did I job shadow nurses, but I also learned how to different procedures, such as: how to replace a trachea device, take blood pressures, insert feeding tubes, and how to inject vitamins and foods into feeding tubes. Through this, I assured myself that I really wanted to be a nurse.…

    I feel that the preoperative briefing that took place before the patient arrived is what allowed the team to work so well in this emergency case, all of the details that was known about the patient was shared to the entire theatre team, with enough time to be able to prepare and collect all the appropriate equipment that was needed but also equipment that was possibile needed so that all avenues of care was covered and prepared. Bethune (2011) stated that teamwork, communication, and efficiency in the operating theatre is widely recognised to be suboptimal. Poor communication is the single biggest cause of medical error. The surgical operating theatre is a potentially highly stressed environment where poor communication can lead to fatal errors.…

    During my preoperative experience I noticed many safety checks were in place, not only for the patient, but also for the doctors, nurses, and surgical technicians. Upon entering the room during my perioperative experience, I immediately noticed steps in place that were being utilized to protect everyone within the room. All of the instruments were sterile. Nurses and surgical technicians were counting down to the very last suture to make sure all of the supplies were present. Everything touching the patient or being used during the procedure for the patient was sterile and if the items were accidentally contaminated, then more sterile gloves were put on to preserve the sterile field that had been broken.…
