Guided Reflection Questions Opening Questions 1- How did the simulated experience of Sara Lin’s case make you feel? I had to do it twice but that help me to understand more the situation and correct mistakes. Having practiced on Vsim and make mistakes is much better than a real person. I loved the feedback of what was wrong, right, or could have been better. I helped the patient with pain management and educate her about wound care. 2- Talk about what went well in the scenario. Assessing Sara Lin’s pain level and where it hurt were an action that gave me an understanding of the pain she was expecting and that way I can help her. 3- Reflecting on Sara Lin’s case, were there any actions you would do differently if you were to repeat this scenario? If so, how would your patient care change? I will provide more education to the patient. Scenario Analysis Questions 1- EBP/S: What priority problem(s) did you identify for Sara Lin? The priority problem was her pain. I was able to assess the paint and help the patient. 2- EBP/S: What should be included in Sara Lin’s education plan to assist with her pain control? To let the nurse, know when the pain starts, so the nurse could help her before the pain gets worse. 3- EBP/S: What should be included in Sara Lin’s education plan related to postoperative incision care? Let the patient know that she needs to use a mild soap and wash gently. Cover the incision with dry dressing afterward. Contact provider if swelling, warmth, redness, smelly secretion, or pain occurs. 4- PCC/I: In addition to the above education on pain management and incision care, what discharge teaching should be included specific to home antibiotic therapy (levofloxacin/Levaquin)? The antibiotic should be taken with water and ate the same time each day. Levofloxacin could be taken with or without food. Take Levofloxacin oral solution on empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal Concluding Questions 1- Describe how you would apply the knowledge and skills that you acquired in Sara Lin’s case to an actual patient care situation. After going through this scenario, I feel that gained valuable knowledge in knowing what the priorities for patient are who is experiencing acute appendicitis.
