Once Campbell was in the room, MCSO was still en route to ORMC and I was tasked with removing the handcuffs from her person. Once she was released from the restraints, the nursing staff began treating her. Upon the departure from medical staff from her room, Campbell stood up and

Once he was briefed I advised him that the Deputy was not pursuing charges on Campbell for battery on a LEO, when he made contact with her in the County jurisdiction due to her mental state.

I then returned inside of the room where I removed the restraints from Campbell and stood by as the nursing staff placed soft restraints onto Campbell in her bed. Once the restraints were on her she calmed down and no further incident took

My colleague and I received an emergency call to reports of a female on the ground. Once on scene an intoxicated male stated that his wife is under investigation for “passing out episodes”. She was lying supine on the kitchen floor and did not respond to A.V.P.U. I measured and inserted a nasopharyngeal airway which was initially accepted by my patient. She then regained consciousness and stated, “Oh it’s happened again has it?” I removed the airway and asked my colleague to complete base line observations and ECG which were all within the normal range. During history taking my patient stated that she did not wish to travel to hospital. However each time my patient stood up she collapsed and we would have to intervene to protect her safety and dignity, whilst also trying to ascertain what was going on. During the unresponsive episodes we returned the patient to the stretcher where she spontaneously recovered and refused hospital treatment. I completed my patient report form to reflect the patient's decision and highlighted my concerns. The patient’s intoxicated husband then carried his wife back into the house.

My perceptions of this clinical rotation totally changed from the mangers story. When she says, “I had to fall back on understanding” and that there was “no policy or procedure to reference” she just had to do what was right (Cathcart). She knew that the patient comes first and the ethical dilemma that was at hand said to ensure that the patient got the best care and all patients were cared for. She was ensuring that the patients on the floor would be covered while another nurse was gone. In the meeting today we talked about the ER nurse delivering a patient to the floor for hand off. The discussed how to do this hand off safely but not having a nurse leave the floor for safety of the other patients. Now it was not life and death at the moment
