It was amazing week for me. I learn so much that I could not imagine.
I had two patients. First day I had total care patient with cerebral palsy, mental retardation, seizures, contractures. He was admited to the hospital d/t pneumonia r/t aspiration. He lives in SNF. He was on PEG-tube, so I gave all meds. through feeding tube. This was completely new experience for me. To be able to clean and change him I needed help because patient was immobile and had contractures. Ashley Andrews helped me a lot to met my goal. I had a lot of meds. to give and managing PEG tube, so I thank Mrs. Collins for all teaching and help.
Second patient had ulcerative colitis diagnosis. He lost 40 lbs. in a month so he was on TPN and lipids.Again great experience for me. I went with him to radiology ( CT scanning). The nurses and care partner where great and helpful. I thank everybody who helped me in my achievments this week.
