Hello everyone. My name is Jani Rodriguez and today we are going to talk about overconfidence in judgment and nursing ethics.0:01
According to Covax, due to being overconfident, doctors incorrectly diagnose 10% to 15% of their patients.0:10
Overconfident practitioners are usually 26% less likely to correctly manage their patients health and care.0:18
Hence, it is vital to explore and understand how overconfidence affects ethical decision0:25
making in nursing and identify strategies for mitigating it and its impact.0:30
Nurses who are overly confident may overlook critical details that lead to making catastrophic mistakes,0:39
such as administering the wrong medication or using incorrect procedures.0:45
Simple examples of overconfident in nursing include a nurse confidently performing a complex physical medical procedure without seeking assistance,0:50
or a nurse ignoring the input of team members due to believing that their judgment is superior.0:59
The consequence of her actions is that the patient’s condition worsens because they lie in the correct treatment.1:06
This situation demonstrates the dilemma of balancing confidence in one’s skills with humility and being open to other professional insights.1:12
Probation for obligates nurses to be accountable and responsible for their practice1:24
by ensuring that their decisions and actions serve to promote optimal health care.1:29
Overestimating their abilities and neglecting protocols.1:34
Put patient safety at risk. In this situation, the nurse failed to make an informed decision.1:38
Another impact of confidence in nursing practice is that it makes professionals believe1:47
that their assessments and decisions are more accurate than they are in reality,1:53
which can lead to overlooking vital information, dismissing critical cues and the failure to seek second opinions.1:58
Hence, as a result, overconfidence in nursing practice compromises patient safety, team dynamics, and professional integrity.2:05
Another strategy for mitigating overconfidence, which should be adopted at the organizational level,2:14
is fostering a culture of open communication respect for diverse insights to promote team collaboration.2:20
It is also vital for individual professionals to stick to using standardized protocols to guide practice and decision making.2:28
So here we are looking at a case study, um,2:44
addressing overconfidence and then a hypothetical situation when the nurse overestimates her diagnosis skills and and Nicklaus2:47
theme advice and nurse can lessen the impact of the situation on the nurses practice by reporting to surveyors about this concern,2:54
because it is also unethical to fail to speak, encouraging the nurse to always seek second opinions and consult with colleagues.3:03
Advocating for a checklist for ensuring always adherence to standard protocols.3:10
Establishing a culture of regularly engaging in reflective practice and feedback sessions.3:16
These strategies for addressing this ethical problem include regular self-reflection,3:22
continuous education, team collaboration, and utilizing checklists and protocols.3:29
I thank you again for watching my presentations.3:34
I am open to any questions. Good night.3:38
