Your clinical assignment is for:
1) It is 9:45 am. If J.P. needs to be ambulated three times a day, M.H. needs his antibiotic given at 10 am, and F.S. needs her dressing changed this morning, in what order would you do these tasks?
2) How did you make this decision?
Answer-1:
Explanation: 1. As it is 9:45 am in that case first of all dressing should be changed for. Mr. F.S. because it will hardly take about 8-10 minutes.
2. After dressing of Mr. F.S., antibiotics should be given to Mr. M.H. at 10 am sharp.
3. And at last ambulation should be done for Mr. J.P.
Answer-2:
Explanation: 1. I have made my decision to give priority to change dressing of Mr. F.S. because it will just take 8-10 minutes as given in the assignment that at 10 am antibiotics have to be given to Mr. M.H. and ambulation has to be done for Mr. J.P.
2. As i am having 15 minutes to give antibiotics to Mr. M.H. and medication administration must be on right time specially of antibiotics administration so that first of all i have decided to change the dressing of Mr. F.S. before 10 am.
3. After that i have decided to administer antibiotics to Mr. M.H. at sharp 10 am.
4. I have decided to provide ambulation to Mr. J.P. just after the antibiotics administration to Mr. M.H. because ambulation can be delay for some time to give priority to other patients according to their severity of illness and it also depends on particular medical procedures.
Thank You
