Reflective Account

Trust security policy, ensuring that I have followed the trusts uniform policy. When arriving on the ward I attended to the draws station to recycle long-suffering handover, which outlines each special requirements, for example If they need assistance with personal c atomic number 18 or any speech/language Issues there might be. The handover Is confidential and adhering to data protection act and also the inf eachibility policy which Is In place wealth the trust.I was asked by the nurse in charge to re bar a patient blood sugar as the night staff handed over it was low at 6 am. forwards taking a blood capillary sample I ensured that I had all the equipment making sure that it was clean and in on the job(p) order. I got a sharps bin and placed it on the BUM trolley. I went to the patients bedside and asked for consent to check their blood sugar, the patient had suffered a C.V. and had beech problems, consent was given by a nod of the head.I washed my hands using the 7 stage hand washing technique and applied personal protective equipment (PEP). I asked the patient which leaf they would prefer me to use and they held a finger up for me. I took this as them under stand fully what I wanted to do and proceeded. I obtained the sample chase Trust guidelines on point of care testing (PACT), disposing of waste and sharps as per Trust decontamination and waste and, harps disposal policies.I informed the patient of the reading and they nodded their head to realise they understood. I remove and dispose of the PEP as per Trust guidelines in a clinical waste bin and wash my hands. I then preserve the results in blood sugar monitoring pathway, I informed the nurse that the result was within normal range at 6. 1, I then stored the patient carded in the agreed storage area, adhering to confidentiality and, documentation and record keeping guidelines.Reflective AccountOnce we had sounded them we wrote them on the sheet (Copy behind) and kept repeating them to each new( prenominal) to beat up the word stuck in place. Once we had learnt to pronounce the words and repeat and sign them, they got a picture Of a ship and two people standing on the ship shouting Ii. They colored the picture in lots different colors, the sheet it also yellow because it is clearer for the children to see the words and pictures.When we are doing this action mechanism (Phonics) we 1 . Sound 2. Read 3. Write/ go over the letters Ii . Color 5. Signing Because all the children are different in their own ways, some(prenominal) children struggle pronouncing or they have trouble reading and some have trouble writing, other cannot hear well so we sign as we go through everything to make sure everyone has a good get wording of what is going on in the group, so that we can work on these things.Today when I was working with the superstars I worked a little one to one with a unseasoned boy who has Downs syndrome and he cannot speak clearly or read and has trouble dissertation so we signed the phonics lesson together, but today he wasnt joining in he hid is face with his arms and cried but after while he came near and he communicated and we carried on.Looking through his phonics book and he signs Plane and says plane and gets excited at the fact he has pronounced it. We carried on with our Ii sounding and coloring when we had finished all the group together then stick the sheet in to their phonics books (behind). At the end of the lesson we go over what we have learnt, we also decide to show the recess of the class who did reading, and they sounded, read and signed to the rest of the class.Reflective AccountA Diary System In our team we have a duty Rota. The dilate of which are entered and used in a diary system each person is scheduled in for a day of duty on a rotational basis. I enter this into an outlook diary/calendar every 6 months. Have to check individual personal diaries flirt to check that the dates I enter for them do not clash with appointmen ts that they already have booked in, also taking into account annual leave.Once I know what prior appointments or annual leave people have booked I then add peoples names to the diary on a rotational basis try my best not to give people too many duty days close together. This allows them to have space between duty days as they will have their own work to complete too and I have to be mindful of this. Once all the days have been make full and there is a person scheduled for duty every working day Monday-Friday I send an email out to the team to ask them to check the duty diary and make a note of these dates in their own personal diaries and calendars and to also let me know If any dates are unsuitable. Then sometimes contacted to make crafts and changes due to commitments that I was not aware of. If this is done early overflowing then I would be able to swap people to the highest degree within the diary. After a certain time passes and I Judge that changes cannot be made by myse lf because It would conflict with peoples schedules I ask individuals to speak to colleagues and swap days. I am then informed of these swaps and update the diary accordingly. Nearing the end of the 6 months that I have scheduled In the diary I produce the recess again for the next 6 months.Reflective AccountReflection is a process of reviewing an experience of practice in order to describe, analyse, evaluate and so inform learning about practice (Reid, 1993 p.305).I am going to reflect on an drill during my placement at a childminders setting.While writing about this, the model of reflection I will use is the most commonly used model by Gibbs (1988), which is the model I will look at here.There are six stages in Gibbs model, namely- (1) Description (2) Feelings (3) Evaluation (4) Analysis (5) Conclusion (6) Action plan. I will discuss each in turn.DESCRIPTIONI am currently on a CACHE level 3 DIPLOMA for the Children and Young Peoples Workforce training. I am on a placement at a c hild minders setting. The activity I did was painting. I chose to do this activity with a mixed group of quaternary children so that I could pay attention to their individual needs. I set up a table at the childminders place for the painting activity.We had enough resources for painting, so I used essential ones for painting, like, protection for clothing, old newspapers for protecting the floor, paints, paper, brushes pots of clean water the easel and the table top, a floor mop, and facilities for drying painting. The children set to work immediately, putt lots of paints on their papers, using pots to mix colours. Spills were mopped up quickly by the childminder to avoid possibility of falls. After painting, I helped in washing and supervising the childrens hand washingFEELINGSI watched the children to see how they were feeling and performing. I could see they were enjoying using all the different colours, making shapes and different patterns. I felt all children should be offered ghost opportunities to paint when they feel inclined. When very young, beforefluent speech, spontaneous painting is a most valuable means of expression. I allowed them opportunities to explore, undisturbed because children usually get the most from painting if they are left to pursue it on their own, without rushing them.EVALUATIONFor this painting activity, I realised that painting often allows children to express emotions that they find ambitious to put into words. It is an enjoyable new activity for many young children on starting nursery or childcare setting. I believe for children, attaining this skill leads to a sense of achievement and self-esteem.ANALYSISThe children got a lot from painting. Painting is a messy activity and this is why it is not always done at home and therefore, young children should be given every opportunity to explore this creative medium undisturbed whenever they wish. I watched as they were painting, undisturbed, and only spoke whenever they asked m e questions on their reactions to the activity. For example, child A says I want to paint for mummy. I answered by saying, . yes you can. The children interacted well with each other while painting, discussing what they are painting with each other. The activity was a good idea and it practically went well, the children enjoyed it and I believe they achieved their creative development.CONCLUSIONAfter this painting activity, I evaluated and reflected and I have come to the conclusion that childrens paintings are essentially culture free, they allow children to experiment with a variety of materials. Also, paintings develop an aesthetic awareness of composition, colour, shape, pattern and relationships. Paintings encourage imagination and creativity.ACTION PLANIn retrospect, I would do several(prenominal) things differently. As childrens paintings are essentially culture free and painting is an integral part of the curriculum, I will make parents aware that clothes whitethorn be dirty becausesome parents complained that their childrens clothes were dirty with paints all over, despite using protective clothing. I will also let them understand the importance of painting for young children. What I will like to improve on next time is to have some programme of changes like disquisition to parent about creativity and also work with them. . I will have more colours available next time, also more papers. To obtain more interest, a visit to the art gallery will be useful, with parents involvements.
