During my previous role, I encountered a patient who was resistant to physical therapy due to pain. I approached this by first ensuring their comfort with gentle positioning and pain management techniques. Then, I worked closely with the physical therapist to modify the exercises to be less painful while still effective. Over time, the patient's trust in the process grew, and they began to see improvements, which motivated them to continue with the therapy.

I prioritize tasks based on the urgency and severity of the patient's needs. For instance, I immediately address any critical issues like severe pain or sudden health changes. Then, I focus on scheduled therapies and activities that promote recovery and independence. I also maintain open communication with the nursing team to ensure a cohesive approach and timely interventions.

I believe in tailoring motivational strategies to each patient's interests and goals. For example, I use positive reinforcement, setting small, achievable milestones, and involving family members to encourage participation. I also educate patients about the benefits of each therapy session, helping them understand how it contributes to their overall recovery and independence.

I approach conflicts by maintaining open and respectful communication. I listen to the concerns of all parties involved and seek to understand different perspectives. Then, I work towards finding a solution that benefits the patient and aligns with our care goals. I believe in the importance of collaboration and mutual respect to provide the best care possible.

Documentation is crucial as it ensures continuity of care and provides a clear record of the patient's progress and any changes in their condition. It helps in communicating effectively with the healthcare team, including physicians and therapists, and supports evidence-based care. Proper documentation also aids in compliance with regulatory standards and helps in evaluating the effectiveness of the care provided.
