This shift was great today. I took the full pt load and it was a CHALLENGE!!! But I survived. I was able to stay on top of all the required interventions that I needed to do and I felt like I was able to give good care to the pt.s.
I also gave my first soap-suds enema, and it was an experience….
Today I was able to accomplish objective two for the class, being able to safely delegate to other healthcare workers. I needed a urine sample from a pt and I was busy, I thought, oh I can just get the sample, I know that the tech is busy and it wont take me very long. But then I remembered the lesson on delegation and that with me delegating it could help the whole team run more smoothly. Also a Dr. wrote to have a pt walk for 3-4 times a day and so I delegated it to the tech to remind him while she was in the room to walk. Both times it was a good experience and the tech responded positively.
Additionally I accomplished objective #6, implement EBP. We had a pt that was admitted with PNA and we were required to do the PNA pathway. That is jammed packed with EBP. We had to make sure that the ABX were given and make sure that the pt was getting up for so many minutes a day. This is all EBP that is put into one protocol that is easy to follow. Also we had a pt that had surgery and we had to encourage the deep breathing and use of the IS. That is also EBP.
