Blog 19: Answer #3


1.  What is your EQ?

- How can a primary care nurse best ensure the quality of care for their patients?

2.  What is your third answer? (In complete thesis statement format)

- A primary care nurse can best ensure the quality of care for their patients by first allowing a self reflection period to themselves.

3.  List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.

- With the self-reflection period, nurses and doctors will be able to understand how they work before working with someone else and having a patient's hand in their hands. 
- Self-reflection allows for a better relationship between patient and doctor, when coming to terms with expectations for service. 
- Self reflection allows for the nurse or doctor to get their life together, process their issues, before even beginning something that can be quite overwhelming to a patient. 

4.  What printed source best supports your answer?

- Olsen, Norman. "Self Reflection: Foundation for meanigful nursing practice." Reflection on Nursing Leadership. Reflection on Nursing Leadership, 4 Feb. 2014. Web. 2 Feb. 2016

5.  Tie this together with a concluding thought...

- I feel as though all my answers all tie in together. Without direct communication, a doctor or nurse  couldn't even address spiritual beliefs, and without self reflection period for the nurse or doctor, there could be a bit of misunderstandings, lack of effort, or even bad quality of care. It all ties in.
