Question

Discussion Chap 11 Case Study Ms. Pomfrey Poppy Pomfrey, an allied health professional who is on the Emergency Response Team, is working a busy shift at Hogsmead Urgent Care Clinic. Dr. Snape walks by and asks her to give an injectable medication stat to the patient in room 1. Poppy finds and draws up the medication into a syringe for administration. Suddenly, an emergency patient comes into the clinic. Poppy leaves the medicine ready on the countertop while she takes care of the emergency patient. You are also an allied health professional who is as equally qualified as Poppy. However, although you also work at the clinic, you have not been trained to be part of the Emergency Response Team. As you pass by Poppy, she asks you to give the medicine to the patient in room 1 for her, because Poppy is part of the Emergency Response Team and must tend to the emergency patient. Discuss: 1. What would you do first? 2. If you ultimately chose to give the medication, explain why? If you ultimately chose not to give the medication, explain why? 3. Would documentation be required for what you chose to do? Explain your reasoning. 4. After she has cared for the emergency patient, if the patient in room 1 had not yet received the medication, should Poppy give the patient the medication she left on the countertop?

Answer 1

1.i will choose to attend emergency instead of giving injection first.

2.because i am trained to give emergency care and part of the team.if anyone in the emergency is not Attending the patient it can harm life of the patient.other nurse who is not known to emergency can give injection as she is in same designation.

3.yes.because doctor has given verbal order to this nurse when she handedover to another staff it is necessary to document on file to prevent further consequences.

4.No.she should discard that as it has no name ,date and time of injection loaded.sghe can open another vial and can give injection with same name.she doesnot know if anybody changes that medicine or it is the sameone she kept there.if there is any doubt bout medication she should load another one to prevent errors.
