On Wednesday, December 28, 2016, approximately at 2:36PM, I responded to the ER, Room 15, in reference to an intoxicated patient that was being very disorderly with medical staff and officers.

Upon arrival, I made contact with a patient that was identified as Burke W. Duncan, medical staff and officers. I observed officers standing in the hallway in front of this patient room. A nurse by the name of Allison Cockerham was caring for this patient and this subject became beligerent and started using all kinds of profanity and vulgar language towards her.

There were two medical doctors that came into the room to speak with this subject and he curse them out stating he wanted to get out of here. The nurse and the doctors tried to get this subject to cooperate with and they were talking politely to him and he kept saying fuck this with a slurred speech im ready to go.

As the subject spoke, I could smell a strong odor of intoxicants comning from his person as he spoke. This subject eyes were watery glassey and red. This subject was crying and tried to get up but almost fell. This subject started spitting on the ER room floor and constantly was using profanity.

I intervened and advised this subject that he was going to have to stop with all the profanity and he said fuck you nigger. This subject stated that I dont tell him shit and take him to jail. I advised this subject to watch his mouth and once again he said fuck you that he say what he wants. This subject further said fuck this

  • QSEN Competencies In Mental Health Nursing Essay

    Nurse A seemed confident and calm while nurse B appeared tired. With the first patients, I noticed that both nurses were asking for first and last name and confirmed the information with the picture in the computer and the medication cup. After a few minutes, I turned my attention to nurse B because I noticed she did not ask a particular patient for his name. Instead, she relied on the name provided by a patient care technician. When she was about to give the medication to the patient, nurse A noticed that the patient on the computer screen was not the patient on the counter. She immediately told nurse B “ That is not Mr… girl ” and nurse B responded while laughing “ He looks exactly like …, I need to get some coffee ASAP”. The patient immediately realized what happened and told nurse B his name. After that, nurse B reached for the right cup and administered the medication to the patient. Even though a medication error was not committed and no harm was inflicted to the patient, by violating important QSEN competencies this incident could have caused a negative patient outcome.
