How do you think that the residents would have reacted if the nursing student had approached them about their behavior?
Case summary:
The nursing student was assigned to accompany a nurse in the intensive care unit (ICU). They were caring for Mr. G, a middle-aged patient with end-stage liver failure. He had been in the coma for several weeks. Mr. G was found to be overwhelmed with the extent of drains, tubes, and technologies that have been used to care for him. The nursing student found that the nurse and some residents immediately started to assess the technological equipment soon after entering the patient’s room. They don’t seem to have any regard or concern for the patient. They had a conversation about the poor condition of the patient in his direct presence. They didn’t touch the patient and not even attempted an interaction with the patient.

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_forward
