Within your reflection, describe the episode of care and how you assessed, delivered and evaluated care.

In this reflection I will be discussing about medication and ECG procedure that I supported while on placement in a cardia ward. This patient complained about chest pain in the morning and I was asked to do ECG for her in which I exhibited care and compassion towards her. Prior to this procedure she was administrated. Bisoplor medication beta blocker) and diver tics medication (furosemide) she was on. The nurse in charge took some blood from her and was given morphine to reduce the pain. Her observation was also monitored and the doctor was called on the phone to discussed further procedure for her. In the process I had to speak to her in a clear low tone manner and assure her she was going to be fine although she was in pain. Later on during the day, the doctor requested that she should be on telemetry to monitor the heart rate.

What did you do well?

What I did well was when I was doing the observation with ECG machine I realised it was not reading properly so I had to esclate to and HCA for support and they noticed that two of the skin tact were not properly stick to the patient skin and I had to rearranged them properly for the machine to record.

What would you have done differently?
