When talking to Hammett, it's important to understand his reasons for not taking medications. There may be specific reasons why he prefers other treatments like tropical creams. It's also important to explain dietary options and hygiene practices that can reduce infection. Provide Hammett with information and leaflets about the risks of not taking medication. Documenting everything is crucial for accurate patient care and legal purposes. Thorough documentation protects both patient and nurse and can help with quality improvement and research. Inform the nurse about Hammett's concerns to find solutions and create a positive work environment. Reflect on this experience to improve future interactions and professional development. When talking to Hammett, I should try to understand what his reasons for not taking the medications are. Doing this could be prevalent, as there may be specific reasons as to why he's not taking it and he may well be happy with other types of medications such as tropical creams for example. Also, I could explain to Hammett the possible dietary options and hygiene standards that could reduce the infection. Where it is possible, I would give Hammett any information that is available, for example leaflets etc, explaining the risks involved and make sure he understands fully the repercussions of what could happen if he does not keep up with the medication. On a legal side of things, I must make sure that all of this is well documented. This is a crucial role in nursing. It ensures accurate and comprehensive patient care. By documenting important information such as assessments, medications, treatments and patient responses, it helps to create a picture of the patient's condition and progress. It also acts as a legal and professional record, providing evidence of the care provided, decisions made and any changes in the patient's condition in case of any legal or ethical issues. Having thorough and accurate documentation can protect both patient and nurse. Documentation can also help quality improvement and research. Analyzing data collected in patient records can evaluate trends, identify trends and make improvements to enhance patient care and patient safety. Also, I must tell the nurse what Hammett has said, making sure that my concerns have been raised and hopefully lead to finding solutions, receiving support and creating a positive work environment. And finally, when I leave, I will ensure that I reflect on the patient's concerns and educate myself for all future interactions that may arise, ensuring that I learn from this experience and help support ongoing and professional development, which will also help improve my patient care and enhance the overall well-being of my career.
