Banner Health, #Arizona #Nurse Incident @nursingpins @BannerHealth #nurseup #AmandaTrujillo #healthcare #nursefriendly

Banner Health, #Arizona #Nurse Incident @nursingpins @BannerHealth #nurseup #AmandaTrujillo #healthcare #nursefriendly:”My name is Amanda Trujillo. I’m a registered nurse of six years , specializing in cardiology, geriatrics, and end of life/palliative care. Back in April of this year I was caring for a dying patient whom I had discovered had no clue about what they were about to participate in when they agreed to get a major invasive surgery. When I properly educated the patient using the allowed materials by my employer they became upset that the physician never explained details of the surgery or what had to be done after the surgery (complex lifetime daily self care). The patient also had no idea that they had a choice about whether they had to get the surgery or not or that there were other options. They asked about hospice and comfort care and I educated the patient within my nursing license and the nursing code of ethics. The patient requested a case management consult to visit with hospice to explore this option further in order to make a better decision for their course of care.
