Discussion Topic

You are a nursing student who is assigned to a busy medical-surgical unit. Today, you’ve been assigned to Ms. Ehsan, a patient who has been diagnosed with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and a urinary tract infection. Your RN preceptor and yourself enter Ms. Ehsan’s room to conduct a routine assessment. Due to Ms. Ehsan’s condition, her stool and urine has had a particularly foul odor which, consequently, has made her room also smell quite foul. You try your best to not draw attention to the smell but your RN preceptor is much more obvious about her feelings and is making faces of disgust. You look to Ms. Ehsan and you know she knows; she knows the room does not smell well and that it is having an effect on you and your RN preceptor. You ultimately finish your assessment but the situation remained tense and awkward throughout your entire time with Ms. Ehsan. 

  • How could this situation have been handled more therapeutically? Is there anything you could have done to prevent the encounter from being tense and awkward? 
  • Was the RN preceptor wrong for making a face? What if he/she could not “control their face” when smelling something foul? Is there anything that could have been done to be more respectful? 
  • post a question for other students to repond to
