Intern And Bereavement
This week at intern I was able to help the chaplain make session for the bereavement group. He said they did this because they continue their commitment to support their family in their time of grief and I thought that was great. After we set the date we made invitation and I was to sent an invitation to each family member. There was about 70 people this time that we needed to invite. After the chaplain asked me to call every single person and invite them personally. Each person took it differently. Some people would hang up because they didn't want to talk about it and some people need someone to talk to about their feeling. I feel I got to assess the patient because some got to have me as support to talk to.
Also, this week I went out with

    Patient Shadowing Case Study

    She also commented on items they had in their room and allowed the patient to respond. I did not really care for her style of therapeutic communication because I did not feel like it was genuine and I feel like the patients also felt that way and it did not allow for a trusting relationship. There was no interaction with the nurse and any of the family members so no therapeutic communication methods were observed. The nurse also did not talk to any doctors because there was a charge nurse that had that responsibility. From what I observed from the charge nurse answering the phone was very rude phone skills answering a call out by “We’re in a crisis what do you want”. All I could think of was she better hope that was the phone call for a call out and not a family member or doctor calling. I really do not have any examples of therapeutic communication methods because this facility did not communicate well or efficiently and I was not…

    Anticipatory Grieving Case

    The family members play an important role and helping care for the patient helps them with the grieving process while providing a supportive environment to express their grief while coping with their feelings (Davidson, 2010). The second intervention would to have been to take a moment to request a chaplain or ask some one to request one for the family to talk to them about what is happening and how they are coping with this situation and if there is a need for spiritual counseling for them or the patient. This gives the family members a chance to express the desire to have any rituals performed for the patient. Also, to help them cope more effectively with the psychological and emotional stain of their family member’s illness and the dying process (Davidson, 2010). Last, the third intervention would be getting the family a list of some activities that the family members can do that will help facilitate with the anticipatory grieving and dealing with the feelings of grief. Being active gives the family members a purpose and helps them to make sense of what is happening. This helps with reshaping their lives and find new meaning in life without their family member (Davidson,…

    Communicating with an Addict

    When we got to the facility, we are asked to sign in and have a seat in the waiting area. After sitting there for about 10 minutes, the counselor come out and asked everyone to come on back. She is the group the leader for this specific class. We then went into a very large room and were asked to sit anywhere we would like. I would say that this room held at least 60 chairs that were in a circle. These meeting were normally just our family, but this time it was everyone else and their families also. There was an opening in the front of the room, where the counselor would stand with her easel. The recovering addicts of the room seemed at ease to be there, but I could tell that everyone else seemed to be a bit nervous.…

    Group Reflection Essay

    Many years ago, when caring for a particular patient I asked her family to leave the room, against their wishes, while caring for her. She shut down at that point and even though she allowed me to care for her did not interact with me throughout my time with her. After this encounter, I learned to ask the patient first whether family should be allowed to stay when providing cares and discovered if you work with, not against patients they respond much better.…

    Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurse

    During my freshman year of high school, I was admitted into a mental facility. This brought a lot of stress towards my family and myself. Being hospitalized is very difficult to cope with due to all the new things that are introduced. In the beginning, I was not very cooperative in my therapy nor in taking my medications. It was a hard transition for me because taking medication meant relying on them now. Also, this was a difficult situation for my parents to go through because they had never dealt with mental disorders or medication. Throughout my stay, the psychiatric nurses ensured that every patient was comfortable. They were also in charge of giving us one-on-one therapy, meaning they really got to know every individual in the unit. When…

    Grief and Loss (Nursing)

    There are five stages of grief; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. With these stages come the knowledge of grief and its effects on us which equips us to cope with life and loss. These stages are responses to loss that many people have, but there is not a typical response to loss as there is no typical loss. Our grief is as individual as our lives. The five stages are, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance which is the foundation of learning to live with the “lost”. They are tools to help us identify what we may be feeling. Not everyone goes through all of them nor do they go through them in a set order.…
