In my previous role, I encountered a situation where a patient was experiencing severe anxiety due to their treatment regimen. I approached this by first ensuring their immediate comfort with calming techniques and then discussing their concerns with the medical team to adjust the treatment plan for better patient comfort. This collaborative approach not only eased the patient's anxiety but also improved their overall treatment compliance.

I prioritize tasks based on the urgency and severity of the patient's condition, ensuring that critical needs are addressed first. I also use a systematic approach, such as the ABCDE method, to quickly assess and manage patient needs. Additionally, I communicate regularly with the nursing team to coordinate care and delegate tasks efficiently, ensuring all patients receive timely attention.

I strictly adhere to HIPAA regulations by only discussing patient information in secure, private settings and ensuring that electronic records are accessed only by authorized personnel. I also educate patients about their rights to privacy and involve them in decisions regarding their information sharing. By maintaining these practices, I ensure patient confidentiality is upheld at all times.

I manage stress by practicing mindfulness and deep breathing exercises, which help me stay calm and focused. I also prioritize self-care, ensuring I have adequate rest and nutrition. Engaging in team support and debriefing sessions post-crisis helps in processing emotions and learning from experiences. This proactive approach helps me maintain a positive attitude and perform effectively under pressure.

In a previous role, I worked closely with a physical therapist to develop a rehabilitation plan for a patient recovering from surgery. By sharing insights and coordinating our efforts, we were able to tailor the rehabilitation program to the patient's specific needs, leading to faster recovery and improved patient satisfaction. This collaboration highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary teamwork in enhancing patient care outcomes.
