One challenging situation I encountered was when a patient experienced sudden respiratory distress during the night. I quickly assessed the situation, administered oxygen, and notified the on-call physician. I stayed calm and provided continuous monitoring until the patient's condition stabilized. This experience reinforced the importance of staying composed and being prepared for emergencies.

I prioritize tasks based on the urgency and severity of the patients' conditions. For example, I would address a patient with a high fever or pain before attending to a patient with a routine medication schedule. I also use a checklist to ensure I don't miss any critical tasks and delegate non-urgent tasks when possible.

I ensure patient confidentiality by keeping all patient information secure and only discussing sensitive details in private settings. I also educate patients and their families about the importance of privacy and limit access to medical records to authorized personnel only. Regularly reviewing HIPAA guidelines helps me stay compliant and protect patient information.

I use non-verbal communication techniques such as facial expressions, gestures, and touch to connect with patients who have limited mobility or are non-verbal. I also involve family members or caregivers in the communication process to better understand the patient's needs and preferences. Clear documentation of communication efforts ensures continuity of care.

I have extensive experience with various EHR systems and ensure accurate documentation by double-checking all entries before submission. I also follow the facility's documentation guidelines and regularly update my knowledge of EHR best practices. Accurate documentation is crucial for patient safety and continuity of care, so I take it very seriously.
