One challenging situation I faced was when a patient was non-compliant with their care plan, refusing to take their medication. I approached the situation by first understanding their concerns and explaining the importance of the medication. I then involved the nurse and doctor to provide additional support and reassurance. By fostering a collaborative approach, the patient eventually agreed to follow the care plan, ensuring their health and well-being.

I prioritize tasks by assessing the immediate needs of each patient, such as vital signs and hygiene, and then move on to secondary tasks like feeding and mobility. I also communicate with the nursing staff to ensure I’m addressing the most critical needs first. This approach ensures that all patients receive timely and appropriate care.

I handle stress by staying organized and maintaining open communication with my team. I also take short breaks to regroup and focus, ensuring I can provide the best care possible. Additionally, I remind myself of the importance of my role in patient care to stay motivated and calm under pressure.

I ensure patient comfort by regularly checking in with them, addressing any concerns, and providing personalized care. I also maintain a clean and welcoming environment and involve patients in their care decisions. By fostering a compassionate and respectful relationship, I aim to enhance their overall experience and satisfaction.

I stay updated by attending continuing education courses, reading industry journals, and participating in in-service training sessions. I also follow guidelines from regulatory bodies and seek feedback from supervisors to ensure I’m providing the most current and effective care.
