The communication problem was the dentist was unprofessional and should of took the matter differently and explained it differently. If the patient used the water pick the matter would have been seen from a different point of view. As for the dentist is looking at it that the patient is not willing to help herself and is only wanting him to fix the problem when it is convenient for her. o How might the caregiver improve communication in a way that would promote patient compliance? The dentist could have been more considerate and explain to the student that the whitening process can only be done certain times and cannot be done when it is important for her.
Blocking doors can interfere with people escaping a fire zone to safety. Putting things in the way of certain doors closing can interfere with fire containment and in doing such can put more people in harms way. These are all rules that people do not understand and therefore argue with if it is not explained to them or not enforced properly. There are also rules for people to have TB tests done frequently. This ensures that new employees in a healthcare facility do not bring in the disease to pass on to the patients that are more susceptible to it.
The new “wash in - wash out” programs instituted at most hospitals are positive steps in the right direction. It is important for all health care workers that come in contact with patients to be thoroughly trained about proper infection control techniques. When there is a language barrier with staff, as there often is with housekeepers and PCA’s, it is important that they are able to give a return demonstration on proper infection control techniques. Warning signs outside the room or on the door of those patients on precautions is important. There is also a direct correlation between HAI’s and staffing levels (Hallinan & Bloice, 2007); therefore health care facilities should ensure adequate staffing to provide appropriate care and environment for the patient.
This nurse should have requested assistance from a nursing supervisor when the physician failed to acknowledge the patient’s right to self determination by stating “No” when the physician wished to intubate him as well as acknowledging that this patient had an advanced directive. This nurse also failed, when she initially spoke with the DPOA, to notify him that the patient had an advanced directive and she should have taken steps to notify him of this as soon as she realized that she had made a
This decision was reached after the consultant, named nurse, patient and the patient’s family discussed together and based their decision on the patient’s age, condition, quality of life and wishes. The UKCC ‘Code of Professional Conduct’ (1992) states that every registered nurse, midwife, and Health Visitor should act, at all times, in such a manner as to … promote and safeguard the interests and well-being of patients and clients [and to] ensure that no action or omission on your part, or within your sphere of responsibility, is detrimental to the interests, condition or safety of patients and clients. Therefore, how does withholding life-saving treatment, comply with the ‘Code of Professional Conduct’? The decision not to resuscitate conflicts with this clause of a document that aims to define and develop professional standards to protect the public and offer direction regarding the suitable conduct of the profession (Kenworthy et al, 1999). The conflict arises because the decision not to resuscitate could be seen as not promoting the well being of the patient and an omission on the nurse’s part, causing detrimental consequences (Rumbold, 1999).
As a nurse it is important to make sure that tasks are being delegated appropriately to UAPs and they understand when they need to report problems of concern to the nurse. The CNA in Mr. J’s scenario did not take the reddened area on the spine seriously and reapplied the restraints and left Mr. J on his back after toileting. The nurse knows that areas of breakdown occur over bony prominences and the area of breakdown discovered should cause concern to the CNA as well as the nurse. With this not being reported to the nurse, no measures to prevent this from worsening can be implemented. Oftentimes a diet is used not only to complement treatment but respecting individual’s religious beliefs.

The nurse is avoiding asking Brigite about the readings of the vision tests (Hansten, & Jackson, 2009). By re-administering the test, the nurse is lowering her self-esteem, and self-confidence. She will harbor bad feelings and thoughts about the incidence, which can lead to emotional dishonesty to communication with Brigite. Passive behavior is the avoidance of responsibility and loses’ the opportunity to develop skills in managing conflicts and resolving negative issues. The issue of whether the vision tests were accurate will not be solved.
