The main standards of my job role are to provide a high level of professional care to all residents giving them the upmost dignity and respect and also giving families and friend’s emotional support. Standards involving personal care and communication in my role are very important because it sets an example to other staff and new staff and can help them to understand how their role as a career should be executed. 3. There are a number of ways to ensure that personal attitudes or beliefs do not obstruct the quality of my work; it is important to leave any problems in your personal life at the door, so you are starting your shift with a clear, fresh mind set. It is important to remain completely professional at all times because you are performing a duty of care.
As a carer I demonstrate person centred values by relating to what each resident would like, what care they need, what assistance they will accept and treating each resident as a separate person but at the same time treating everyone equally. 2) A care plan is very personal to each individual as it sets out the guidelines of what care they need and receive. Carers should be able to read a care plan and understand what assistance is expected, involving a wide range of different needs. By focusing a care plan on each individual it becomes ‘person centred’, this ensures that every patient is receiving the benefits of support and assistance from carers. At St Nicholas House we review care plans at the end of each month with each resident, this ensures that any changes or issues are addressed as soon as possible.
Skills in how to communicate effectively with both the pediatric patient and their parents are important for a nurse to foster to maintain good therapeutic relationships. Person centred care becomes family centred care when babies and children are the patients. The dependent nature of the patient increases the need for parental responsibility and advocacy for the child. It is important for all members of the family to be taken into account when nursing a pediatric patient, especially the primary caregivers and siblings. Chochinov, 2007 (cited in Cornwell & Goodrich, 2009), states simply that compassion is ‘a deep awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it.’ Pediatric patients and their families are highly sensitive to the compassionate nature of health care professionals and a successful therapeutic relationship with them depends on the sensitive, compassionate care offered by the nurse.
Although, I may treat all these situations differently they all require compassion and respect. In addition, the Code of Ethics states, “The nurse has authority, accountability, and responsibility for nursing practice, makes decisions and takes action consistent with the obligation to promote health and to provide optimal care.” (Association, 2001) As a nurse, I am accountable for my actions in patient care, patient safety, and maintaining patient confidentiality. It is important to provide the best care I can for all of my patients. While doing so I need to adhere to the NPA of my
Even before someone can learn what trust is they need to be willing to put themselves out there without fear of rejection and dishonesty. Trusts definitions may be seen and known to each of us mainly from how it has been learned and dealt with in each of our own lives and experiences. Therefore there is an importance for exploring the involvements and meanings behind such a subjective concept and term and how it directly relates not only to everyday activities but how it impacts a nurse patient relationship. Needing and understanding trust gives way to a beneficial discovery in our personal lives as well as in the nursing world and it is an analysis worthwhile. The concept of trust is one the very first things that we learn or depend upon as newborns/infants.

Nursing Roles and Values Elaine Carrillo RN Western Governor's University Nursing Roles and Values-Task 1 NVT2 December 30, 2012 Nursing Roles and Values State Regulations and Nursing Standards We as nurses respect the rights of all human beings. We see each patient as a distinct human that requires our knowledge, skills and commitment to their well being while in our care. We must consider our patient needs first, as we are the front line of patient advocacy. We must speak for our patient when our patient cannot. Using our skills and knowledge we first must understand the issues to understand the needs of each patient.
Nurses intermingle with people from diverse branch of the world with a mixture of civilizing practices, so cultural alertness seems essential in creating a patient-nurse relationship during the interview phase of the health assessment, initial step of the nursing process. Every culture perceives wellbeing and sickness differently; as a result, cultural traditions have power over nurses’ decision making process which represents a baseline to begin action for healing and provides high quality of care that nurses have to give. “Cultural ability means the aptitude of nurses to value and admit the cultural backgrounds of persons and give care that best meets the persons’ requests—not the nurses’ requests” (Edelman & Mandle, 2010, p.
I feel that the patient should be included in all decisions concerning their health care. They should be able to function at their ability, and if they’re unable to do something, the nursing staff should be ready and willing to assist them as much as needed. The patient should know their nights and all procedures should be explained to them prior to it being started. I feel like the patients family members should be there as a support system. They should be there for the patient to confide in if they don’t feel comfortable with the staff of nurses.
As a health care provider we must remind ourselves that denial is a normal defense mechanism and that over time patients and family members eventually come around to acceptance. To help a patient and their family through
