ANSWER
During the simulation, what went well for me was knowing that Miss. Oxendine’s state was emergent—recognizing her mental state of attempting to end her life by suicide and physically when her body was reacting to the N-acetylcysteine. Also, I felt confident in recommending (SBAR) that Miss. Oxendine receives help beyond the emergency room/hospital stay. I believe that holistic care helped me, the nurse, see Miss. Oxendine is in her current state (the reason for her hospitalization); also, I saw beyond her current state (the care from the initial entry that would result in her wellness journey post-discharge). ……please click the icon below to purchase full answer at $5
