During my previous role, I encountered a patient who was extremely anxious about their treatment. To handle this, I first ensured they felt heard by actively listening to their concerns. I then explained each step of the procedure in detail, using simple language to make it less intimidating. I also involved the patient in decision-making where possible, which helped them feel more in control. This approach not only calmed the patient but also improved their cooperation during the treatment.

I prioritize tasks based on the urgency and severity of the patients' conditions. I use a checklist to ensure no critical tasks are overlooked. For instance, if a patient requires immediate attention due to a change in vital signs, I address that first. I also communicate with the nursing staff to coordinate care efficiently. This systematic approach ensures that all patients receive timely and appropriate care.

I strictly adhere to HIPAA regulations to maintain patient confidentiality. This includes using secure methods for storing and transmitting patient information. I also ensure that discussions about patients' health are held in private areas away from public spaces. Additionally, I educate patients about their rights to privacy and how we protect their information. This proactive approach builds trust and ensures compliance with privacy laws.

I manage stress by practicing mindfulness and deep breathing exercises, which help me stay calm and focused. I also prioritize self-care, ensuring I get enough rest and exercise. During high-pressure situations, I rely on my training and experience to make quick, informed decisions. I communicate openly with my team, which helps in sharing the load and maintaining a supportive environment.

In a previous role, I worked with a multidisciplinary team to care for a patient with complex needs. I coordinated with the nursing, therapy, and dietary teams to develop a comprehensive care plan. My role involved monitoring the patient's progress and adjusting the plan as needed. By facilitating clear communication and collaboration among the team members, we were able to significantly improve the patient's health outcomes.
