...Reflective practice is described by (Price, 2004) as “an approach to learning and practice development which is patient-centred and which acknowledges the untidiness and confusion of the practice environment”. Self-reflection and reflective practice is essential to the healthcare professional as a result of the framework under which you operate being a continuously transforming environment. Healthcare and our understanding and application thereof is constantly changing and for that reason self-reflective attitudes of healthcare professionals is favourable. (Hendricks, et al., 1996) At one period in my educational background the year was met with many constraints, namely limited time, limited resources and an inexperienced, unqualified lecturer. In the very few contact sessions made available with the lecturer it was important to get through large masses of the workload, particularly the practical sessions as they are rather complex to self-study. The most viable method of getting through all this work in the allotted time was to practise the simulations in a behaviourist method which “concentrates on observable behaviour without considering motivation or other mental processes” (O'Neill, et al., 2005). This involved going through scenarios and memorizing key words as triggers to administer the appropriate drug. This behaviourist method of teaching and learning was passable as it helped the lecturer work through a sufficient volume of the required topics with the class in the...

...A critical incident that I was involved in pertained to a situation that happened to me at work. I was just starting off as a new nurse on the floor in which I currently work on, a step down ICU that is high in acuity and demanding. It was my first week alone after I had been trained for 6 weeks in the month of September 2017. Five minutes prior to the end of my morning shift, I received a last minute patient transferred from another floor with no report from the nurse and no data pertaining the patient’s medical and physical situation. Not only was the transfer last minute, but it was very unsafe as the patient was dumped carelessly into his assigned with no proper notification. To my surprise, I assessed the patient from a distance and noted he was on a 100% rebreather mask, breathing at 32 RR per minute with audible gurgling....

...Critical Incident: Late Cardizem Drip Salomon Rivas Purdue University Calumet NUR 48200-09 Critical Incident: Late Cardizem Drip The incident I will be writing this paper about actually just happened at my new job. I received my nursing degree last March and started working in LTC last summer. After 6 months experience, I was lucky enough to get hired as a new nurse on a telemetry/ step down ICU floor. I started this position on January 5, 2015 and will be finishing my one to one orientation next week. As the weeks have passed and my patient load has picked up, I have been able to work more and more independently while my preceptor attends to other patients or matters. If all I had to do was assess, pass medications and chart, I would be fine but as we all know, critical thinking has to prevail and careful watch has to be of utmost importance for such sick patients. On the night of the near critical incident, I was taking care of 6 patients. It was the very beginning of the shift and I was getting report as my preceptor was attending to a patient that was crashing fast. She told me to just continue with report and start my night and she would fill me in later as this patient had to be sent to the ICU. I finished getting report on my 5 patients and was sitting down to organize my night when my preceptor came over to me and asked what I was told in report. When I got to the new admit that had just come to the floor before...

...Background Context I work as a Senior Research Associate, based in Glasgow, for an organisation that provides information, marketing and analytical services to the commercial property industry. Our company has three main strands - research, sales and editorial. Each area is critical to the productivity of the business and although they are essentially independent of each other, it is imperative that they communicate with each other effectively as each service benefits from the success of the other. The editorial department, based in London, was established in recent years in order to better promote the successful business practices of our company and our clients by means of a news and blog service on our website. Three journalists were employed to run the team. Communication Practices Out with the normal means of internal communication, our company uses an online Customer Relationship Management system to allow all employees a means of recording their interactions with our client base. Despite being an outdated, glitchy and cumbersome program, it has generally worked well. However it only works well if all departments use it correctly. The Incident I phoned a client to extract some information regarding a recently completed property deal. The client, although clearly unhappy to be contacted regarding such matters, agreed to provide the information I sought. I used the CRM system, advising future callers to proceed with caution. An hour later the editorial...

...Upon entering the classroom in which I have been performing my field experience in, I was thrown into an environment, which created a sense of surprise and disequilibrium. My cooperating instructor informed me that once a week a health nutritionist comes in to the classroom to discuss healthy options with the students. The health nutritionist discussed with the students healthy nutritious options. One example that the instructor used was what was a way in which to make broccoli and cheese healthy? Many of the students said such things as: steaming the broccoli, putting butter on it instead of cheese, and one even said to just eat the broccoli plain. All of which are appropriate responses to his question. During which this was going on there was several students throughout the classroom that were being very disrespectful to the instructor. They were talking while he was talking, bombarding him with questions during which he is trying to present his lesson, and rummaging through their desks. Throughout the duration of this instructor’s presentation, it can be noted that he had a difficult time trying to get the class under control and cooperative with what he was trying to relay to the students. At the end of the instructor’s presentation he informs the students that they will be making a healthy smoothie before they head to gym. Upon hearing this the students immediately became ecstatic, this was the one part of the nutritionist’s lesson that all of the students enjoyed. The...

...OPMT 102-1HE 5-3 Critical Incident pg. 537 1. Who are classified as protected-group employees? Does Paul Davis qualify as a member of this group? Why or Why not? Protected group employees: · Racial/Ethnic origin · Gender (women) · Physical or mental disability · Age (over 40) · Religion · Military Service I believe that Paul would qualify under the disabilities because of his psoriasis; however he should have informed management of his condition and shown documented proof of his condition in order to qualify so that accommodations could have been properly made. 2. Why is it dangerous for a supervisor/manager to socialize with direct-repot employees? RETALIATION; if one of the individual’s stills has feelings for the other and that person rejects their advances, as in the relationship between Davis and Jones, false allegations and less recognition of duties can construe. 3. When do crude or vulgar behavior and language become sexual harassment? According to the EOCC, only unwelcome sexual conduct that is a term or condition of employment constitutes a violation. The EEOC's Guidelines define two types of sexual harassment: "quid pro quo" and "hostile environment." The Guidelines provide that "unwelcome" sexual conduct constitutes sexual harassment when "submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment, "Quid pro quo harassment" occurs when "submission to or rejection of such conduct by...

...Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) is a treatment that is administered immediately after the occurrence of extreme trauma. It acts as a preventative therapy that wards against patients developing PTSD-like symptoms or other anxiety driven disorders. Generally, this procedure is administered in groups and focuses on examining and managing negative emotions over the course of 3 to 4 hours. The therapy aims to preemptively eliminate both the development of PTSD, and the possibility of premature therapy termination. Lilienfeld (2007) found, however, that CISD is ineffective in preventing PTSD-like symptoms. Moreover, CISD was shown to be potentially harmful to participants by possibly threatening their natural recovery (Lilienfeld, 2007). Although...

...complete work cycle. During observation, certain precautions should be taken The analyst must observe average workers during average conditions. The analyst should observe without getting directly involved in the job. The analyst must make note of the specific job needs and not the behaviors specific to particular workers. The analyst must make sure that he obtains a proper sample for generalization. This method allows for a deep understanding of job duties. It is appropriate for manual, short period job activities. On the negative side, the methods fail to take note of the mental aspects of jobs. Critical incidents The critical incident technique (CIT) is a qualitative approach to job analysis used to obtain specific, behaviorally focused descriptions of work or other activities. Here the job holders are asked to describe several incidents based on their past experience. The incidents so collected are analyzed and classified according to the job areas they describe....

... Article Review Summary The article that is to be reviewed is Critical Incidents in Practicum Supervision: Supervisee's Perspectives (Trepal, Bailie, & Leeth, 2010). This article must be understood in the context of what practicum experiences provide to those who are required by curriculum to attend. The article sets out to identify any quantifiable evidence about the factors of practicums that are helpful, and crucial for students to experience during that time. This study wants to isolate the positive qualities of practicums so that an informed student can take full advantage of this exposure to their career choice. Although the practicum is a unique exposure for a student and one can gain invaluable experience this article wants to focus on the impact that one's supervisor plays in the benefit of the practicum. Trepal et al. (2010) identifies that “extant research examining perceptions of the effects of supervision on development as counselors is scant” (p.29). Therefore this articles' impact seems crucial to the understanding how best to develop counselors in training. The authors seem to want to prove the hypothesis that good supervision is need for the maximum development of counselors. The article also spends time explaining and putting emphasis on critical incident technique as necessary part of the practicum experience that the supervisor is to provide. These incidents are seen as “self-awareness, professional development, competency, and personal...

...Critical incident often refers to a scenario or an event which has an effect on an employer/employee in the work environment. Lately, however, it is now becoming a very popular tool, used for collecting feedback from customers. A journal article entitled ‘The Business Case for Workplace Critical Incident Response…’ states ‘Critical incidents are sudden, unexpected, often life-threatening time-limited events that can inhibit an individual’s capacity to respond adaptively’ (Attridge et al 2010). If not tended to correctly such incidents can have a very negative affect on the individual’s experience, whether it being employee or a customer. In his book ‘Critical Incidents in Teaching’, David Tripp writes, ‘Incidents happen, but critical incidents are produced by the way we look at a situation: a critical incident is an interpretation of the significance of a situation’ (Tripp, 1993). Whether good or bad, when critical incidents take place in the work environment they can serve as training and development for other members of staff. As part of their research to find out the effects of webpages on customer satisfaction, Wang et al used critical incidents technique (CIT) in order to compare in-store customer experiences to that of those customers using the website. Their chosen restaurant was TGIF. To carry out the CIT, a front door intercept interview process was carried out where customers had to recall their TGIF experiences in the previous six months (Wang et al, 2004). Customers...

...Critical Incident Management After this nation was served a tremendous blow that fateful day in September 2001, many agencies were unable to phantom that such a horrible event could take place on American soil. Many agencies didn't know what to do, or who should start in the search and rescue efforts. Because of this event, critical incident had to take center stage and many agencies under the umbrella of criminal justice, including but not limited to, firefighters, Sheriff's, CIA, Homeland Security, and other individuals had to create and follow specific rules to maintain order during an event that causes chaos amongst the citizens of the community. In this paper, we are going to examine what critical incident management is, as well as discussing the scenario-based planning and how it applies to institutional strategic management within criminal justice and private security organizations. Understanding Critical Incident Management Critical Incident is a traumatic event, or the threat of such (within or outside Australia) which has the potential to harm life or well-being and causes extreme stress, fear or injury to the person experiencing or witnessing the event. Post-Incident Debriefing is a formal group process conducted by a professionally qualified person, to alleviate the pressure after a critical incident. Traumatic Stress is an actual or threatened event such as death, serious injury, human suffering or violence, such as accidents, including fatalities or near misses...

...usually in such disparate and distinct conditions that require carefully crafted professionalism and minimal ineptness from the doctor for them to survive. Proper service requires transparency, care integration, patient engagement, restoration of joy and meaningfulness and medical education reforms. There is always room for quality improvement as the fronts keep widening and each hospital has to keep increasing the quality of service, beginning from its staff to quality of machinery and equipment. There are established approaches to quality. These approaches include PSDA cycle, the six sigma; which identifies the needs and causes for variations in meeting these needs, structured methodology that define, analyze and control (DMAIC). The critical human factors espouse the team performance, understanding of effects, tasks, equipment, organization on human behavior and abilities, workspace and culture. These should guiding principles for those who work within the practice. During my rounds in Sabah Hospital in Kuwait country, I observed quite a number of malpractices, or rather ineptness by practitioners in the medical facility. An example that I state in my report is striking to me, how a simple situation could turn tragic out of negligence or ignorance. I witnessed a patient suffering from gastrointestinal bleeding after taking large amounts of cranberry juice after being discharged. The patient had been discharged contrary to my medical opinion. I realized that when taking...
