Case summary:
Nurse D underwent a course in therapeutic touch. When she was back to work, she was eagerly waiting to use the new technique on the patient. Patient MS has undergone the abdominal surgery. When the patient came back, she explained about nausea to Nurse D.
Nurse D used a new technique called “unruffling” to calm down the patient and later, nausea disappeared. This technique showed a good result but there was no scientific support to prove it.

To discuss:
The response of the given situation in the case by Person X.

Explanation of Solution
The responses to the situation are as follows:

- how does interviewing a healthcare aide regarding interprofessional collaboration help nursing students in growing personally and professionally? And how would this affect their future nursing practice?arrow_forward"During my interview with S.P., I learned about her vital role in ensuring patient safety and well-being through high-quality care. She collaborates closely with doctors and nurses, sharing important information about her patients. However, S.P. also faces challenges, particularly with communication barriers that can delay care and create misunderstandings. What stood out to me was our shared belief in the importance of interprofessional collaboration. We both agree that effective teamwork not only improves patient outcomes but also enhances efficiency, leading to more comprehensive care and better health overall." make this sound more human writingarrow_forwardwhich nursing theory aligns with your philosophy?arrow_forward
