Recommended: Critical analysis of patient assessment

Yesterday was my eighth visit at the Woodhaven Care Center. The first two hours of my day were spent running from room to room checking on patients to see if they were ready for treatment.

I spent a majority of time motivating tired patients to come with me to the treatment area, watching and other staff with their patients.
