Interview 2: Issa Salman
Answer:

1. A nurse's day is demanding and exhausting, both mentally and physically. Patients
are categorized based on the severity of their illness and the amount of work required
for each case. My work as a nurse requires a high level of concentration, anticipation,
and foresight to predict potential deterioration in a patient's condition.

2. My role as a nurse is to provide comprehensive care for the patient, including

physical, spiritual, psychological, and social care. I support the patient and their
family with the necessary instructions regarding their illness, disease prevention, and
general health improvement. I participate in developing a healthcare plan that
includes the individual, family, and community.

3. Work priority is determined based on each patient's condition, and each patient
receives complete treatment. The most experienced nurse divides the work among the
nurses and is responsible for everything that happens during working hours.The work
is divided according to the working hours.

4. Having the expertise and knowledge to assess the patient from A to Z. Cooperation
between nurses to provide the best care. Following the doctor's written orders in the
treatment plan provided to the patient. Adhering to the Double Check policy to reduce
the risk of medical errors.

5. Computer, Ventilators, Thermometer, Blood gas analyzer, Phone, Patient vital signs
monitor.

6. The hospital I work with provides many patient safety, infection control, and policies
that every nurse must follow when working with patients. Close monitoring of nurses'
work by infection control staff.
7. Working for 4 continuous hours on a patient with cardiac arrest, during which I felt
physical exhaustion, mental fatigue, and fear. Moral support from the nursing team
that was present. Feeling reassured by the presence of highly skilled and experienced
medical staff.

8. Communication must be clear, understandable, and explicit when speaking with the
patient and their family. Providing a simplified explanation of the condition and not
hiding any information about the patient. Confidentiality at work, not sharing
information about the patient with people who are not involved in their care. The
relationship between the patient and the nurse should be within the framework of
work and avoid personal relationships that may negatively affect the service provided
to the patient.

9. The hospital holds educational courses and lectures to inform its staff about any new
procedures and information to provide complete service to the patient. Using the
internet to search for any information the nurse needs during their work.

10. Cooperation is one of the best practices that healthcare systems should follow when
striving to improve outcomes. It increases the effectiveness and efficiency of practice.
All the nurse's work depends on something called teamwork, and one nurse cannot do
their job alone to be able to provide the best medical care for the patient.
