During my previous role, I encountered a patient who was experiencing severe anxiety due to memory loss. I handled this by first ensuring their safety and then engaging them in familiar activities like singing old songs, which calmed them down. I also communicated regularly with their family to understand their past routines and preferences, which helped in creating a more comforting environment.

I prioritize tasks based on the immediate needs of the patients, such as administering medication at the correct times or responding to emergencies. For routine tasks, I plan my day around the patients' schedules to minimize disruptions. Using a checklist also helps me ensure that no essential task is overlooked.

I use clear, simple language and speak slowly to ensure understanding. For patients with hearing issues, I maintain eye contact and use visual aids when necessary. For those with cognitive impairments, I repeat important information and use consistent routines to help them feel more secure and comprehend better.

I manage stress by taking short breaks to regroup and focusing on self-care practices like deep breathing. I also find it helpful to remind myself of the positive impact my work has on patients' lives. Maintaining a positive attitude is easier when I celebrate small victories with my team and patients.

I have experience with various medical devices such as blood pressure monitors, glucometers, and oxygen tanks. I am also familiar with electronic health records systems, which I use to document patient care and track their health progress. My training includes regular updates on new technologies to ensure I can adapt to any advancements in geriatric care.
