Role of APRN
Hi Marine,
I like the post because it highlights the importance of patients rights and the legal responsibility of the nurse. Patients have a right to gain complete knowledge about their health condition and the available treatments. This poses challenge for nurse to explain the costs and benefits to the patients. They must be able to explain them the side effects of the treatment. I agree that the nurses must be skilled enough to understand the rights of the patient and inform them about the clinical procedures. This requires having competency of communicating with the patients in effective manner. I think that nurses lacking effective communication skills would not be able to explain the treatment procedures to the patients.
An important strategy for building positive relationship with the clients is by listening them and understanding their problems. The nurses must be able to respond to the patients in appropriate manner. It is common that the patients experience the fear and assume negative outcomes when they are about to receive any surgery or medical treatment. This occurs due to the lack of awareness and knowledge CITATION Geo181 \l 1033 (Georgia, 2018). These issues exhibits that the nurse must be able to comfort the patients by explaining the exact procedures and that how helpful they could be for the them CITATION NJ18 \l 1033 (NJ, 2018).
Additional recommendations which I believe must be integrated include; using appropriate body language. Facial expressions such as smile will allow the nurse to win the trust of the patient and make them feel better. I think nurses must be provided training of communicating effectively with the patients. Another recommendation that would improve the quality of care is hiring experienced and skilled nurses CITATION BON17 \l 1033 (BON, 2017). I think it is also practical to engage nurses in meetings and discussions with the senior doctors and nurses.
