Concept explainers
To discuss:
Can you identify the essential information that should be documented in Mr. G’s electronic record regarding physical assessments and electronic monitoring in addition to efforts to communicate with this patient?
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.
To discuss:
Do you think the understanding you gained from the situation improves your ability to care effectively for other comatose patients and communicate respect and emotional support?
