Day 2
I discussed my treatment activities with my CI at the end of the first day. I chose to educate my 33 years old female patient who had a history of BKA, Diaebeted, and came in for R Metatarsal amputation on transfer because I heard she just had her surgery done and also went for dialysis. I knew she can’t do much with moving around due to other things going on with her. I also did UE exercise in preparation for functional mobility of propelling her W/C. Likewise, she was educated on dynamic sitting and weight shifting from her buttock to prevent pressure sore. I decided to do memory activity, educating about taking rest in between activities, use of DME, and energy conservation with the 84 years old female patient. The patient with BKA did 10 counts of rolling her waist while seated for dynamic sitting exercise and reaching out for hands from different planes. This preparatory exercise was for trunk flexibility and being able to retrieve items needed for ADLs from the cupboard. She also did UE strengthening using Thera band. Thera …show more content…
My CI was a good person and really expose me to a lot of things such as going through patient’s chat to read the reason for their hospital admission and OT goals. She also explain how she bill for 1 unit for 2 units service if she co treating with the PT. There are good forms of communications between the OT/L and the COTA in the sense that CI discussed the area COTA needed to address when treating patients when she was yet to write out the patients’ goals. My CI asked another team members if it’s okay to observe them when treating their patient in the gym. The team member co-treat patients at the gym and the patient’s room. One I experienced was while OT/ COTA was treating for endurance and UE strengthening, PT/PTA was treating for walking. In conclusion, the 3 days fieldwork was a huge success for me compare to what I was thinking
