Neglect Patient Care
When employees experience negative feelings or emotions that result from conflict, it may cause them to neglect their patient care responsibilities. During an argument employees blow out, the tension between parties affects others around including patients. The opportunities for mistakes with medications increases because the mind is focused on the conflict; the ability to deliver an appropriate care is in danger for the emotional distress that both employees are experiencing. I remember that when I used to work on the surgical unit, one nurse started to argue with the charge nurse for the assignment of patients. The nurse was claiming that she took care of those patients for the last two days and that she had requested a change. The charge

    Your prior experience with psychiatric patients is clearly advantageous in your nursing practice and this skill translates to any patient or family member who is escalating, regardless of the setting (Hallett & Dickens, 2015). Furthermore, in the labor and delivery setting there are numerous situations in which patients or their families may become agitated and require therapeutic communication to assist them in allaying their fears or anger. In addition, your ability to not only remain fully engaged with your patient, and assure that all of her medical needs were met was extremely skillful (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015). In emergency situations, making the effort to calmly assure the patient and family may…

    Like mentioned before, we will come across those patient who are “good” and those who are “bad.” The bad patients are the hostile, emotionally unstable, stubborn and noncompliant ones who everyone tends to try to avoid. As stated in the book, there are many “roadblocks” in the treatment plan for the difficult patients. Some of these roadblocks include not taking medications, refusing treatment and not wanting education regarding treatment plan. This can be stressful to the nurses who have multiple patients to take care of and can cause strain in the nurse patient relationship. The nurses may not want to enter the room often so it can lead to lack of communication between the nurse and patient as well as little to no care for the patient. The lack of the relationship can be detrimental to both the patient and the nurse because of…

    When I was a young nurse it seemed like problems I saw were continually put on a back burner or not treated fairly. It’s important to be accountable for mistakes. I have worked on a surgical floor for 16 years. On occasion we will be pulled to another unit if they are really short. I was pulled to an oncology floor when I had been an RN for about 3 years. I was not familiar with the chemo drugs and their schedules. But my med sheet had times listed when to hang certain things so I didn’t ask the charge nurse but went about hanging my drugs. Later in the day the oncologist saw what happened and threw a huge fit. I wasn’t told specifically what I’d done wrong but just that I was incompetant and he didn’t want me ever taking care of his patients again. That was hard to hear because most of the time I was told I was great to be around and a great asset to my unit. I asked the charge nurse what I done wrong. She said certain things weren’t compatible and that I had put the patient at risk but she also told me not to worry, she wouldn’t “report” me. She just kept poo pooing me and told me she would take care of things. It literally seemed like everything was just swept under a rug. Later after my shift was over I went back down to my floor and talked with my clinical educator about what happened. She used to work oncology so I knew she would understand that units procedures. She was upset that I was assigned a chemo patient to…

    In the United States there have been numerous medication issues that healthcare institutions have dealt with. The medication has risen in cost; few medications that have been approved by the FDA have resulted in severe side effects. That has led to the health institution liable for legal disputes, lawsuits and a tarnished reputation.

    Neglect is also an important factor leading to child death and was highlighted in the high-profile cases of Victoria Climbié (Laming 2003) and Danial Pelka. In Daniels case, weight loss, the stealing of food and how Daniel was withdrawn and showing little interaction with other children was all noticed by school staff, yet the school failed to keep accurate records and did not collectively, nor coherently generate their concerns into a child protection referral. Subsequently, leading Daniel to become an ‘invisible child’ and ultimately leading to his death (SSCB 2013). This again highlights the difficulty in the ability to define the boundaries of what constitutes as neglect, making it difficult to spot. In Daniels case, it was likely put…

    Social issues often interplay with any sort of medical error as well. Medication errors often result in damaged social relations such as the nurse-patient relationship and the healthcare system’s image. When nurses make a medication error they are obligated to report their mistake to the charge nurse, the patient and the patient’s family, regardless of the circumstance. In some cases, the nurse may have to report that their actions lead to serious harm or even the death of a patient. Cousins, Gerrett and Warner (2012) conducted a national five-year study in England and Wales to see how many medication errors were reported and the percentage of…

According to Pozar (2016), failure to act when there is a duty to act in a similar circumstance is considered nonfeasance which is a form of negligence.…
