PU Nursing Developing Clinical Reasoning Skills Discussion Response

reply to discussion:

MN610-1 Involves the development of clinical reasoning skills in evaluating, planning, and implementing care for patients experiencing acute and chronic disease processes across gender and age span in a culturally competent manner, was achieved through my clinical experiences. During my clinical rotation, I provided care to patients of all genders and ages with acute and chronic conditions while being mindful of my own cultural biases and considering each patient’s circumstances and culture when creating a plan of care. For instance, I provided compassionate care to many patients who don’t believe in vaccinations. Although I do not agree with this practice, I did not let it affect my care for these patients. 

MN610-2 Requires the development of an evidence-based management plan for clients in the primary care setting with acute, episodic, and chronic illnesses, considering gender, culture, and ethnicity, was also met through my clinical experience. I utilized available resources such as Epocrates, CDC app and up to date to provide management plans for each patient based on the most current evidence. For example, I prescribed an antibiotic to an 8-year-old boy diagnosed with strept throat based on evidence as the most appropriate treatment for this virus.

MN610-3 During my clinical at a non-profit clinic, I met this outcome. As I interacted with elderly patients who were unable to bear the expenses of healthcare, medication, or therapy, I gained a deeper insight into the treatment alternatives accessible to individuals with low or no income. This experience enabled me to comprehend the costs and potential lifestyle modifications associated with these options, which holds immense significance.

MN610-4 Through my professional experience, I have achieved the desired outcome. In my opinion, aligning the treatment plan with the patient’s personal belief system is the most effective approach to ensure their compliance. When the patient agrees with the treatment, they are more inclined to adhere to it.

MN610-5 The goal of this outcome was to generate a written and verbal presentation to effectively convey care-related data to the interprofessional team using two distinct methods. This procedure was routinely followed during my clinical rotations. Subsequent to examining a patient, I would communicate an oral report of the interaction to my preceptor. Additionally, I would meticulously compose a SOAP note for each patient encounter and record it in CORE Elms, ensuring comprehensive documentation for the duration of this term.
