Patient Care

I expect to slide by through life but once. If therefore, there be any benignancy I sack up show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and non defer or neglect it, as I sh every last(predicate) non rent pass this personal manner again. William Penn (1644-1718) There are many panaches to define tolerant palm in my own words. Doing my job to the best of my strength not only for myself but the patients that are in my sustainment is of the utmost importance.My committal to my work is defined by my ability to communicate effectively, actively listen, act the patient with respect, respect their autonomy and take part in the purlieu I provide wangle in. By defining my personal manoeuvre of view on what good patient care is I am setting my own standards to which I pull up stakes strive to achieve in work and in life. Communication is in my opinion is the most of the essence(p) thing I can do to provide quality patient care. Being an effectiv e communicator has many aspects to it.One is to help the patient feel equivalent a human and not another test or number. work the patient by their name. Always talk directly to the patient and not about the patient. Give appropriate explanations about the procedure and explain what will be happening before, during and after the procedure. Answer any questions to the best of my ability and provide answers or solutions to ones I may not be adequate to(p) to answer, Follow up. Communication is not just speaking but actively listening, is not only verbal but also physical.Looking someone in the eye when engaging in conversation is a great way to show you are listening. Hearing a patients worries and concerns and maintaining a calm still presence can help ease their fears. Not taking a patients anger personally. I know that they do not want to be where they are and probably have many concerns. It is my job to be victor and not react to someone who may be rude or angry due to circum stances that have nothing to do with me. Practicing assiduity is an measurable skill to develop and hone in the health care field.Involving a family member or whomever the patient may have brought for realize is a good idea. Asking the patient if they would like that person or family member to be in the room during the procedure is a great way to relieve any stress they may have spill in. Taking the time to listen and hear the patient while having sagaciousness even in the most undesirable situations is my job as a health care worker. Another Important aspect is my dedication to my work. reservation sure my room is clean and organized. Ensuring that every piece of equipment in my care is clean and working properly.Ensuring the patient is covered and offering a mantelpiece in a cold exam room is one way to make them feel comfortable. Offering a glass of water if a patient is thirsty. Whatever I am able to provide to make the patient more at ease I will. A tranquilize smile an d a squeeze of the hand may be all they need. Lastly Respect. To respect a patient concerns, questions, family, morals, values and religion is important to providing a quality of care that truly puts the patient first. Patient care has many different definitions, not one answer is wrong or more right than another.It is important to consider what it means to me as an individual, as well as an employee that represents where I work and to take responsibility for creating a good patient care atmosphere. Patient care to me is always set the patient first. The patients needs, concerns and autonomy all have to be respected. I can only hope that in my time as an ultra vowelize technician that I can provide the quality patient care that I would want given to my family or myself. As Mr. Penn said, be kind and do good things because we only get one chance.
