My first week without a script (checkpoint 40)

Uma profissional apresenta sua rotina, pede ajuda e combina um plano simples com a equipe.

A situação

At a community clinic in recife, Helena met the nurse. “Hello,” said the nurse. “You are safe here.”

The team saw that the patient’s family needed information and the team had many questions. Helena asked for help, and the nurse spoke slowly. There is some water and much information for many patients; Helena says she is a nurse from Brazil, usually starts the morning shift, checks the chart, and asks what the next step is.

Helena could introduce herself, check the chart, and ask for the next step. The nurse wrote it in the chart.

O próximo passo

After that, there was enough advice, some water, and a quiet room.

The next step was simple: meet the colleague after the morning round.

The team learned one thing: a short conversation can open a caring relationship.
