HSC3052 – Undertake Physiological Measurements. Outcome 1.1 – Research and explain your responsibilities in relation to “Policy for the Recognition and Response to Acute Illness in Adults in Hospital”.

Medical assistants must interact with people on a daily basis. Often their responsibilities include answering phones, scheduling appointments, greeting patients and relaying information from doctors to patients. They must also be able to deal with angry or stressed people, such as the chronically sick or those who have medical insurance trouble.

RTT1 - Organizational Systems and Quality Leadership Western Governors University RN-BSN Pre-Licensure Program The situation with patient Mr. J is quite frightening to say the least.

A clinical placement experienced by the author was on a urology ward within a large teaching hospital where many patients attended for various investigations, elective surgery and emergency surgery into urological related disorders. Accordingly due to the nature of the work area a majority of the patients on the ward had to be catheterised and patients were often discharged home with long-term urethral catheters in situ. As part of the authors experience in developing knowledge and skills observations were under taken into urethral catheter care assessment. The theoretical framework used to guild the nurses in their assessment was that of Roper, Logan and Tierney’s 12 activities of daily living with one of these being that of sexuality. Sadler (1991) suggests that catheter care should be carefully planned and monitored and crisis management avoided.
