Critical Incident Technique

What was the scene surrounding the resident who had fallen, was the floor wet, and did the incident occur on carpet or tile? What was the medication that was given to the resident before their falls? What were the vital signs of the resident and did they demonstrate any signs of fatigue or dizziness, or abnormal behaviors (Willy, B., & Osterberg, C., 2014)? Is the staff to staff communication or training an issue? Are the alert systems, wheelchairs, walker, canes, glasses, or hearing aids within reasonable reach for the resident? Is the resident’s documentation complete, and where could advances towards fall prevention be made Could the nursing program use improvement and…

A few extra things that I can mention about my overall time spent at the ASANTE hospital is that it is very difficult. There are times where I did not know what to do, or who to call to fix certain problems and/or to get extra assistance. For instance, I had an incident where someone threw up all over outside of the South Lobby where I was located, encountered a disfunction with one of the toilets here that had people coming to me over and over to complain to and many angry people who took their…

Service organizations should be attuned to how the nature of services can affect customer rage. Since services occur in real time, the risk of failure is always high. Therefore, it is imperative that organizations take a systematic approach to managing rage incidents. For example, the C.H.A.R.M. School provides lessons in Customer Hostility and Rage Management. Employees learn various identification techniques to spot potential incidents before they happen and plausible tactics to defuse…

I have been asked to create a reflective account on an incident within my HNC work placement where I have had to overcome communication barriers with a patient. My reflection will be structured using Driscoll’s cycle, known as Driscoll (1994) Model of reflection. According to Driscolls cycle there are three processes in which should be used when reflecting on an incident or in general practice. These are what (returning to the situation), so what (understanding the context) and now what…

Safe care needs NP’s to take decisions & actions against situations of risk that threaten the safety of patients and the possible occurrence of incidents that can be from the slightest, that may often go unnoticed, to serious adverse events & consequences which can result in disability, injury, or death. Analyzing incidents in systemic ways based on reflective & systematic models, where errors are investigated from the insecure act of the NP towards decisions at managerial level, replaces a…

direct boss and the alleged harasser. Berkeley claims that the incidents started occurring a few months after the merger. Wharton would stare at her for “several minutes at a time” across the divider…

give an evaluation of our performance. This is my evaluation for my performance in the show, class, and rehearsals. First, is my evaluation of my performance. My performance as a whole went well. There were few mistakes, but some parts could have looked better. The technique was great for the most part and looked clean. The timing was wrong in the first variation on Friday night. I think that I either went a little too fast , or too slow. My timing was off in the closing too. I went a little…

Have you ever heard the phrase “near-enemy” used before? No? Well, a near-enemy is when two things look very similar but are intrinsically different. I first read the phrase in a Louise Penny book, where she wrote about a woman who appeared compassionate and caring, but in fact wanted others to be totally helpless so they would need her. The woman seemed to have good intentions, but she was, in fact, hurting others so that she could receive gratitude from them. A near-enemy appears to be one…

The explorer conditioning technique (ECT): Treat a new task as a quest for new discoveries. To be able to perform at your peak, you have to love what you are doing. Whether it’s acting, bartending or washing dishes, you have to learn to love what you do. One way to achieve this is to technically act like any explorer would, which is to be thrilled by something new every day (or treat everything as such even when it’s not new). It should be as if each task you were making were coming…

Therapy Tree, 2016). Therefore, having fascia working at its optimal level is necessary when performing everyday movements as well as more strenuous physical activities. When fascia is injured or damaged in any way, it can make movement painful and at times unbearable. To elaborate, fascia becomes inflexible when it has been through physical trauma or inflammation, causing tension and pain in the surrounding tissue area (Cutler, 2010). A physical therapist will use the myofascia release therapy…
