Nursing-Scenario of Mr Antonio

1.0 Description

A patient named Antonio aged 73 is involved in COPD, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. The patient has breathing difficulty for the past 4 days and he has been taking medicines and currently, he is on oxygen. He took salbutamol inhaler too, however no allergies are recorded though. I was though responsible for all the assessments from head to toe and had the role of an exposure nurse.

2.0 Feelings

My role in this scenario is as an exposure nurse at the time the patient was having difficulty breathing so my feelings as a nurse were full of anxiety as I wanted to restore his breath and save him immediately. The main concern at that time was to save Antonio and after the event, I thought that such patients should be brought to the hospital immediately because of his known disease and old age to provide medical aid. Such scenarios are very frequent so the nurses must keep their emotions strong because those are the drivers for more efficacies (Jensen, 1990).

3.0 Evaluation

The systematic assessment of the patient is as necessary as other things (Polit, 2008). Proper care and administered dosage also play a significant role. But the main thing is the entire overall assessment of the patient with the condition and the drugs that are given; most importantly the timely provision of drugs (Pender, 2006).  The skin check was done by me effectively as an exposure nurse, but on the same hand, the preparations of medications like IV drugs were a matter of concern. I think I took which again can be a danger for the critical patient as the patient who has COPD and is on oxygen needs immediate care. So working on medication and its preparations are what I need to work on. However, as an exposure nurse I prepared the drugs administered. I think my skill took time by it was done eventually. Still, I think a speedy work of making the IV drugs and antibiotics is one thing that every nurse should cater to. The main aim is to save the life of the patient and as soon as they will get medicines, the recovery process will initiate (Polit, 2008).

4.0 Analysis

There is a considerable discussion on the new functions of nurses (Pender, 2006). When describing or recommending, practices or experiences, the idea of ​​nurse role is often present. However, little attention is given to the origin and development of the social administrative roles theories that is linked with the area of nurse I have. The possibilities of working in Australia for a nurse are more versatile (George, 2011). The practice at Australia has now changed as an exposure nurse who has all the administrative abilities and a few leadership traits too. The regime now follows the

  • Proper valuation of the patient.
  • Relevant nursing care that includes appropriate medications.
  • Marvelous decision-making skills for the patient that leads to resolution of the problem (George, 2011).
  • All the decisions are taken for the patient via a podium of teamwork and proper allocation of decided roles given.
  • Mingling with one another with the help of operative communicational styles.
  • Having a healing conversation with the patient and the family members too.
  • Pertinent and precise certification counting the prescriptions specified and the antiquity of the patient and what they were suffering.

5.0 Conclusion

What I think is that there must be someone to assist with me at that time to not making any delays in the drug administration. This is actually the base which must not be left untreated. If there is a proper management and a team that supports and help it is most likely that all the leadership traits are fulfilled of the head and the exposure nurse (Patricia Benner, 2009). This thus helps in improving all the need and the demand of professional health care professionals. Nurses about 40 years back had no professional value but now especially in Australia; exposure nurses are way too demanded (Patricia Benner, 2009).

6.0 Action Plan

Increase the efficacy in such scenario of Mr Antonio besides construe in an exceptional way the actuality of professionalism in which the nurses are performing will definitely allow reaching at a place where competence and betterment prevails (Patricia Benner, 2009). An action plan must have training for the nurse for performing effectively. As I had gone through, taking time in making IV drugs- this must not be repeated. Performing at maximum is the main key ingredient that must not be surpassed. Apart form that the action plans includes proper guidance to the family for dealing such patient upon discharge, and everything must be up to date and a double-check should be done to be precise and accurate (Pender, 2006).  .
