My Story

My Story - slideshows

     "My Story" is an example of patient-centred care implemented at San Dimas Community Hospital. I observed one of the nurses using it with patients and then visited other patients throughout the medical/surgical unit to give them the care package. I was really excited to be given this opportunity, because it was my first time to interact with patients.
     The first picture in the short video I created displays the contents of the bag I delivered to patients. It contained an eye mask and ear plugs in a little zipped pouch along with the little booklet titled "My Story". The second shows the front cover of the booklet which reads, 
     "The care that San Dimas Community Hospital provides reaches beyond clinical expertise. Working together as your partner in healthcare our passion and commitment is to care for you and your loved ones with, warm, personalized attention."
     The inside is where I helped patients tell the staff more about them so they could get to know them and make them feel more at ease during their stay.

1. I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.
An essential question must:

• Provide a framework for studies (It calls for breadth and depth of research, Is not a yes/no question)
• Takes a stance (Allows you to argue some point, Cannot be a recitation of facts or a list)
•  Format (It is specific, The wording makes sense)

2. a. What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
           Doesn't meet the rule of 3 criteria, because it isn't specific on format. I'm not sure whether they are talking about what is healthy weight loss how to achieve it.    
    b. What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
           Doesn't meet the rule of 3 criteria, because it isn't specific on format. They should be more specific on what they're going to be researching, such as the most important method to...
    c. What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
           Yes, it does meet the rule of 3 criteria, because it is an open ended question. However, there doesn't seem to be much they can research.
    d. How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
           No, it doesn't meet the rule of 3 criteria, because it doesn't allow them to take a stance and they'd just recite a list.

3. What is the most important factor for a registered nurse to provide the best quality care for their patient?
        I'm not sure how I would change this, because I believe it covers the rule of 3 criteria already.
