Reflection of Clinical Observation Experience Essay

I am a nursing student from Australian Catholic University. This role duck soup is about the vital signs. Now, I am going to write a reflective write about the video of my role play of TPR which is a part of assignment and done by me and my other two friends.Firstly, in my video when I play a nurse role, first of altogether I asked about the patients condition such as how are you today. I also make the eye contact while fetching to patient. But this is my first time to take vital signs. I found more challenging than my expectations while I communicate the patient. Verbal and nonverbal communion is a part of communication between patient and nurse. (Hamilton, 2007). But I forget to introduce myself to the patient. I realise that is my first mistake to communicate with patient.Secondly, I washed my hand properly before taking the patient vital signs. Alcohol based hand rub is simply most useful interjection in controlling infection (Australian commission on safety and quality in h ealthcare, 2009). When I go near to the patient I prepare from each one and e actually thing what nurses needed while taking vital signs. Such as patients recording file, pen and instrument for taking vital signs. Furthermore, before I start to check the patient I did make sure the she is the slump patient or not which is written in her name, date of birth, MRN number and the quicken name in her hand band. I give way always assumed that it is a simple process but I found that my expectation were outlying(prenominal) from my contract.Thirdly, I start to take the vital signs but before that I asked the permission from the patient. Vital signs refer to the measurement of a patients temperature, wink respiration and blood pressure. Vital signs commonly include temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate which are used to access the most requisite body function (Stomski, 2009). Firstly, I start from to take the patients temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate .a nd blood pressure and records in the patients file. However, while taking the blood pressure I have to support patients hand by pillow or hand which I forgot at that moment. After that mistake I determined I never do that mistake in my profession.Finally, when I finished taking the vital signs I appreciate to the patient thank you for your Participation. After finished my role play I realise participation word is not appropriate. Instead of that I have to say thank you for your cooperation. I feel this is the best way to communicate between nurse and patient. I have always believed that the elderly do precise little with their time. I found a positive aspect about the elderly even though they are old, the patients were creatively active by have choice which makes them busy and so they have happy existence. In the low care unit people were doing recreational work such as word picture and stick picture and cartoon on the paper.I found health professionals were polite and friendly with the patients. I also found patience in the staff and the patient when they are communicating with each other. The health professionals encourage patients to speak and genuinely interested in clients word and encourage them to converse. This interaction impressed me a lot and I learned a new lesson how to motivate people. I am glad I went on this field yell because it demonstrated to me many positive qualities most importantly, the empathy that I will need to have in order to be a skilled and caring nurse.. Moreover, right patient, right place and right way of taking the vital signs is also part of nursing skills. Also comfortable between patient and nurse is very important.ReferenceAustralian commission on safety and quality in healthcare. (2009).
