Recognizing the signs of compassion fatigue and following the necessary steps to prevent and treat it can provide one with the tools needed to make their nursing career rewarding.

Learning to become aware of the problem is the first step in prevention. Compassion fatigue cuts you off from the people that need you the most.

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 (Carelock, 2001). The central aim of the following discussion is to explore and analyse an incident that occurred while attending clinical placement in a maternity clinic in London. To begin, the incident will be briefly described and the people involved introduced. Pseudonyms, in line with the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s (NMC) (2008) Code of Professional Conduct, are used to maintain confidentiality and protect the identities of all parties involved.
This unfriendly attitude is what most often leads to patient complaints. To determine if a registered nurse is in need of further training it is important that leaders within the healthcare facility observe the actions of their employees. Observation is the key to ensuring that the registered nurses are following through on the best care of their patients and acting accordingly. Other means of determining whether a registered nurse is in need of training is through the filing of complaints from other employees or patients. Other employees within the healthcare facility understand the role of being a registered nurse and are able to determine if and when another nurse is stepping out of line and in need of further training.
(a)In this assignment I will identify ways to prevent and deal with conflict as it arises , within an Accident and Emergency environment .That is within staff and within clients.

According to Bowes (2008) Conflict is defined as “any situation in which incompatible goals, cognitions or emotions between individuals or group lead to opposition or antagonistic interactions “It can sometimes have negative effect but if resolved with the right skills it can be beneficial to the team. As nurses we will create conflict and encounter conflict. However we have to teach ourselves on how to deal with the problems as they occur.
Vulnerable Populations and applying Nursing Theory Tina Talbott Winston Salem State University Vulnerable Populations and Nursing Theory Nurses learn early in the nursing process that all patients should be treated equal. We are not to change our plan of care based on ethnicity, religion, gender, age or social status. Some patients are more vulnerable to certain illness and disease based on the social group that they come from. Their limited resources and low income often categorize vulnerable populations. Therefore, they are at a bigger risk for “poor health outcomes” (Taylor, 2009).
This paper will provide a thorough concept analysis of CF by outlining various definitions, detailing how it influences nursing practice, discussing attributes of CF and providing case scenarios to elaborate on this concept within nursing. Compassion Fatigue in Nursing Practice When people think about nurses, compassion and caring are two adjectives used to describe them. These words are the reason why many nurses come into the profession. They want to help and care for patients helping them get back to their normal lives. Eventually, having compassion and showing concern for others without appreciation leads to CF.

We encounter and provide care to a variety of patients and among them are the minority, underserved, and disadvantaged patients. They are the patients who need a voice and a guide to navigate them through the complex United States healthcare system. One of the important roles that we, as nurses performed are as cultural brokers to help bridge the gap and enhance communication between patients and the complex healthcare system. According to Wenger (1995), cultural brokering is a health care intervention through which the professional increasingly uses cultural and health science knowledge and skills to negotiate with the client and the health care system for an effective, beneficial health care plan. As cultural brokers, nurses also facilitate understanding of the patient’s beliefs with that of the other healthcare providers involve in the care.
