Update for G.C.

 

 

G.C. For the Week

 

   This week at G.C. was most likely the best one had in awhile. First, I was in LTAC and the Nurse that unit let me go around the unit and take the blood oxygen levels for some patients, and take other small vital signs. It was really cool to see how I would report back to her, and she would say that isn't normal range for that patient. You could tell that she liked working there, and she knew her patients. I think that is a major of working at any medical facility is that you need to know your patients, and sometimes at G.C. I have noticed that some health care workers there do not know their patients. The nurse knew normal levels for every patient I took, and very receptive of me doing that. She was kind a amazed that I knew how to do that.

   The next time I was at Dining. There it is kind a of hard to get them to help, or show something. There I stabled the lunch menus with the G.C. patients lunch information cards. The Chef told me that it is required by the state to have a information card. The card lists:

• The name
• Room
• Allergies
• Dislikes
• Likes 

With this system he can cook with a variety, and keep them safe. After that I did not have anything else to do, so I went G.B. There I got to see Mrs. E. She always is wearing her katy red. She is only in G.B. for 20 more days. Then she will go back to LTAC. When I was visiting there, a light when off telling the nurses that the patient in that room needed attendance. I was amazed at how quickly the nurses responded. It turned out that the lady in that room just couldn't find her special blanket.

  This week at G.C. was great. I got to show my skills of a little bit, and brought a smile to Mrs. E. So I guess I say that it was very productive week.
