Today we went to walk a pateint who we had walked the day before. The previous day there had been an incident where the patient was a bit embarrassed. With this in mind we wanted to walk him again today so he knew we were confortable with him and happy to continue to walk him. We went in to talk to this patient who was sitting in the lounge room, to see if he wanted to go for a walk. He seemed very cheerful and happy to go for a walk so we wheeled him out to get his frame and take him for a walk.
I was happy with the way we communicated with this patient and allowed him to feel confortable with us. In the future we need to get him to push up off his chair rather than on the frame since it could tip.
This patient is easy to work with since he is very friendly and wants to have his daily walk. We are begining to build a good rapport with him and feel very confortable around him
When walking other patients we should not allow them to stand without pushing up off the chair,rather than the frame. We could ensure this by making it clear before we start and be reinforcing it.
Today we partcipated in manutension training. This allowed us to revise our postures and actions. It made me realise how well we learnt it at uni and how it has become second nature.
