In one instance, I had a patient experiencing a severe asthma attack. The situation was high-stress as the patient was struggling to breathe and was visibly panicking. I quickly assessed the situation, administered the necessary medication, and calmly reassured the patient. I coordinated with the respiratory therapist to ensure the patient received immediate support. My ability to stay composed and communicate effectively helped stabilize the patient and reduce their anxiety, ultimately leading to a successful outcome.

I prioritize tasks based on the urgency and severity of the patient's condition. For example, if a patient is in critical condition, I address their needs first. I also consider the acuity levels and the time-sensitive nature of treatments. I use a prioritization tool, such as the Nursing Process, to systematically evaluate and plan care. Additionally, I communicate with my team to delegate tasks effectively, ensuring that all patients receive timely and appropriate care.

I believe in educating patients about their conditions and the importance of following their care plans. I take the time to explain treatments, medications, and lifestyle changes in a way that is easy for them to understand. I also involve family members or caregivers to reinforce the care plan. Regular follow-ups and open communication help me monitor compliance and address any concerns or barriers the patient may face. By fostering a supportive and collaborative relationship, I find that patients are more likely to adhere to their care plans.

I approach conflicts with a focus on resolving issues collaboratively and maintaining a positive working relationship. I listen to the concerns of all parties involved and seek to understand their perspectives. I then work to find a mutually agreeable solution that prioritizes patient care. If necessary, I escalate the issue to a supervisor or involve a mediator. My goal is always to resolve conflicts in a way that enhances teamwork and ensures the best possible care for our patients.

I have extensive experience with various EHR systems, which I use to document patient care accurately and efficiently. I ensure that all entries are clear, concise, and reflect the patient's current status and care provided. I follow best practices for documentation, including timely updates and thorough notes. I also double-check my entries for accuracy and completeness before finalizing them. Accurate documentation is crucial for continuity of care and to provide a clear record of the patient's journey through the healthcare system.
