Sorry. Sorry. Okay. Kristin, I’ve been looking for you.0:35
I came here to look at Mr. Jack’s chart. I was just telling Megan that his last assessment was done by the previous shift, and I was wondering.0:45
I appreciate enthusiasm, but Carmen is the art overseeing his care.0:51
You should be asking her. I’m going to take Brendan and go over Mr. Kim’s post-discharge aftercare.0:55
You’re doing great. So I understand that Mr. Jack has bleeding from the surgical site last night.1:01
Is there anything specific I should look out for with him before I start my rounds?1:06
Well, check on his pain level. Any meds? He received his vitals and lab values from last night.1:10
It’ll tell us if we need to be concerned. Thank you for letting me know.1:17
Sure. I just want to help however I can and learn whatever I can.1:20
You guys make taking care of different patients look so easy, and you’re learning from the best.1:24
Well, we go on our rounds. Roger that.1:30
I mean, get going while you’re ahead. Yeah.1:35
It seems like the team is embracing the reintroduction of LV ends. You’re my friend, Terrence, so I’m not going to blow smoke.1:40
The strategy isn’t without flaws, but it helps.1:47
This is me saying thank you.1:52
Well, if you need me to revise or generate any additional training for the LV ends, or if you need any support for me, just let me know.1:54
I’m always on your side, Meg. I’m also very late for a meeting, so I will see you later.2:01
Lunch on Monday. Okay. Taco truck on third. It’s my fave.2:07
Mr. Jack, your heart rate’s too high. I just spoke to my wife.2:13
It’s what happens. I’ll be fine. Carmen, can you maybe come in?2:18
Mr. Jack’s B.P. dropped from last night. His heart rate’s elevated to 120, and he’s running a temp of 101.2:24
My work has been swamped. I haven’t been able to assess yet. Christine, you’re a lifesaver.2:30
Literally. Code sepsis.2:34
812. Get a liter normal.2:39
Say, we’ve asked the secretary to call the attending while I stay here.2:44
This roommate. Well, he’s going to be okay, right? Just go.2:48
Brendan. Did you just push events on that patient in there?3:00
Yeah. And asked me to. Okay.3:05
I just need to remind you that that is outside of the scope of your practice.3:08
And it’s really important, you know, what you limitations are. Sorry.3:12
I just figured I was trying to help. I hear you, but you cannot push meds, ever.3:16
If I keep on messing up as in [INAUDIBLE] Vietnam, I’m not going to make it as an R.N.3:24
Look, things are hectic here right now. I get it.3:31
But you can do this. If I can, you can stop the crowds.3:34
You have a visitor in the main hallway, Dr. Kravitz, a visitor on the mainland.3:40
My early days as a nurse leader, I did my research, so I had facts to share with the staff, not opinions.3:48
You’re doing that. It’ll serve you. Thank you for everything.3:54
Burn up sucks. And I’m grateful for your support in all of this.3:59
All we can do is try to balance the business and the quality side of the job.4:03
Keep the staff happy. Happy staff happy patients, ideally healthier.4:08
Thank you. Thanks again. Clear. So, Maggie.4:14
Maggie, you need dinner after the association meeting?4:21
We’re still on, right? Yes, Sarah, we’re still on.4:25
I promise. Okay. I know that look.4:29
That’s the. I need an ear. Right now, look. I wear it often.4:33
How? Today. Look. Talk to me, lady.4:39
Provision for owing the same duties to self as to others.4:44
How do I promote health and safety? Preserve wholeness of character.4:49
Dignity to myself and to the rest of my staff. All the while trying not to implode.4:55
Very carefully. Also, this is 100% in our collar.5:01
Look, I can tell you how I balance it all, if it helps.5:07
But finding that kind of balance takes time. Are.5:12
Okay. Don’t freak out. But we have a small problem.5:16
And by a small problem, we mean big. I get it.5:19
Trust me. Do you think? Come in.5:25
Let’s do this.
Consider the following questions and reflect on your thoughts and experiences:
What ethical concerns and implications arise when mistakes are made due to the integration of CNAs and LPNs into patient care, and how do these relate to patient safety and the quality of care provided?
In the scenario presented, what ethical principles or values are at stake for hospital leadership, the healthcare team, the patients, and the CNAs and LPNs?
