One challenging situation I encountered was when a resident experienced severe anxiety due to a change in their medication. I approached the situation by first calming the resident through reassurance and gentle conversation. I then collaborated with the medical team to adjust the medication and monitored the resident closely for any changes. This experience taught me the importance of patience and teamwork in providing effective care.

I prioritize tasks by first assessing the immediate needs of each client, such as medication administration or personal care. I then schedule tasks based on urgency and the client's routine. For example, if a client requires physical therapy at a specific time, I ensure that is prioritized. Using a checklist and maintaining open communication with the team helps me manage multiple clients efficiently.

I focus on building strong relationships with residents by actively listening to their concerns and preferences. I also engage them in activities they enjoy and find meaningful, which helps boost their morale. Regular feedback and open communication with family members and the care team ensure that we are meeting their needs holistically.

I approach conflicts with a calm and respectful attitude, seeking to understand the other party's perspective. I believe in open dialogue and finding common ground to resolve issues. For example, if there is a disagreement about a resident's care plan, I would involve the medical team and family to discuss and reach a consensus that benefits the resident.

I regularly attend workshops and training sessions to stay updated on the latest caregiving techniques. For instance, after attending a workshop on dementia care, I implemented new strategies that improved communication with residents suffering from dementia. This not only enhanced their quality of life but also received positive feedback from their families.
