I am writing this reflection because of an incident that happened during activity time. When a resident became upset saying she has chest pain and cant breath. The resident was able to take herself to her …show more content…

In order for me to calm the resident I felt that objective information had assisted the resident to calm down. The use of the nursing process and critical thinking assisted me to inform the resident about the incident and the diagnosis from a general practitioner as per their file. Positive aspects which have emerged from this experience was my ability to remain calm and think quickly to obtain data about the pain. An improvement could be for the RN to slow down and take the time to speak clearly and slowly for the resident to understand information. I feel that the incident was a great learning experience to practice my nursing process and critical thinking. I do feel that I need to keep practicing these skills to ensure effective response to future

    It is suggested by Henderson (1998) that breathlessness in the UK today is a common and complex subjective set of symptoms.

A nurses interaction with a patient can help alleviate and reduce these episodes and make a substantial difference to patients both in the community and hospital setting.

  • Critical Analysis of an Incident in a Clinical Setting

    Critical incidents are snapshots of something that happens to a patient, their family or nurse. It may be something positive, or it could be a situation where someone has suffered in some way (Rich & Parker 2001). Reflection and analysis of critical incidents is widely regarded as a valuable learning tool for nurses. The practice requires us to explore our actions and feelings and examine evidence-based literature, thus bridging the gap between theory and practice (Bailey 1995). It also affords us the opportunity of changing our way of thinking or practicing, for when we reflect on an incident we can learn valuable lessons from what did and did not work. In this way we develop self-awareness and skills in critical thinking and problem solving (Rich & Parker 2001). Critical incidents ???

  • Critical Reflection on Dialogues

    1934 Words  | 4 Pages

    In contemporary nursing practice, nurses need to integrate scientific knowledge and nursing theories prior to providing optimal health care. Nursing theories guide nurses to treat clients in a supportive and dignified manner through client centred approaches. However, it is challenge for nurses to practice client centred care in daily realities due to heavy workloads. In order to assist nurses to decrease the gap between ideal and real practice, Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO) develops Best Practice Guideline of Client-centred-care (Neligan, Grinspun, JonasSimpson, McConnell, Peter, Pilkington, et al., 2002). This guideline offers values and beliefs as foundation of client-centred care, and the core processes of client-centred care can facilitate provision of optimal nursing care. These four core processes of client-centred care include identifying concerns, making decisions, caring and service, and evaluating outcomes. According to RNAO (2006), ongoing dialogue with clients and self-reflection are essential for nurses to develop their nursing skills and knowledge on client-centred care. As a nursing student, I reflected on written transcripts of interactions between patients and me, so that I could gain insights into client-centred care for further improvement. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to discuss importance of the core processes of client-centred care in nursing practice through identifying and critiquing blocks to conversation. Based on the guideline of RNAO (2006), respect, human dignity, clients are experts for their own lives, responsiveness and universal access will be elaborated in each core process of client-centre care as reflecting on three dialogues with patients.

  • Evaluate Outcomes Of Therapeutic Nursing Interventions

    621 Words  | 2 Pages

    The relevant course outcome when describing and reflecting about a therapeutic nursing intervention is the following: “Evaluate outcomes of therapeutic nursing interventions and plan further interventions accordingly.” This outcome is significant, not only because it dictates that therapeutic nursing interventions need to be assessed, but also that nurses need to be continuously searching for ways of improving them and in that way improving quality of care and patient health outcomes. Through my studies and my professional experiences, I have been able to work on weaknesses and have become a more committed and proficient nurse as a result. Perhaps the most significant aspect of the course learnings and experiences is the fact that I am now more confident to rely solely on my judgement when making decisions about what is best for the patient and making treatment/intervention recommendations without fear or doubt.

    ... in caring for the patient. While bed-bathing my patient I used my interpersonal, listening and communication skills. These helped me when I was talking and giving instructions to my patient. I discovered how important communication is in nursing between the nurse and the patient in order to understand each other fo example asking a patient for consent. Moreover, it is during bed-bathing that the nurse and patient can form a therapeutic relationship leading the patient to trust the nurse. During bed-bathing my patient I also checked to see the skin for example bruises and pressure sores. Since communication and listening skills are vital in nursing, I will, therefore, need to improve my skills so I can be a better nurse in the future. Moreover, next time I should not let my feelings get in the way when approaching a similar or same situation like this in the future.

    After reviewing the situation and analyzing, this situation will and has affected my practice as a student nurse integrating into my professional self. Considering my analysis of the key issue, I have realized stress management and a lack of clinical knowledge, affecting judgment and clinical decision-making. My assumptions in the beginning of this situation when I first experience the patient in distress were to immediately call rapid response because they had called earlier on the day. With the knowledge I have gained, it’s important to stay calm in situations to be able to think clearly, analyze the situation appropriately to focus on the patient’s needs. I learned that stress is caused by how an individual perceives it. I perceived this situation as stressful because of my lack of experience and self-efficacy. My preceptor responded to the situation in a calm manner because she was mentally prepared and had a plan of actions if he became symptomatic. I learned that if I better prepare myself in review possible situations that occur and have interventions ready, it would decrease the stress and shock. Through experience, I have gained more confidence since my second

  • Nursing Theory: Virginia Henderson's Theory Of Nursing

    Based on Henderson’s theory, we can critique the clarity, generality, simplicity, empirical precision, and derivable consequences. The clarity of Henderson’s theory is great. She provides the information in a way that is clear and to the point. There is no information that is unnecessary or not relevant to her definition. The generality of the theory is high. Henderson’s definition is broad and therefore can be applied to almost all nursing situations. The simplicity of the theory is also high. It is easy to read and understand. The empirical precision of the definition is great as well. It serves its purpose as a basis for basic nursing care and goals for the health of a patient.
