CASE STUDY 1

Patient Michael  is having some hematological investigation (pemeriksaan darah).

He calls over the staff nurse and asks you if has leukemis (kanser darah).

In actual Michael has leukemia but the family decided not to inform him at the moment. As a matter of fact tghe physician has had informed the nurses not to inform the patient.

The physician together with the family members has decided to inform the patient that he has anaemia (kekurangan darah) in the body.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO??

PATIENTS RIGHT

During a busy medicine round astaff nurse give the wrong medicine to one of the patient.
It is a simple case of fixing the right face to the wrong name, compounded by not checking the patient name  band.

After a moment panic, the staff nurse realizes that the drug was an innocenr vitamin and as the patient has not noticed, he/she decides that a 'least said soonest mended' approach would be prudent. The incident was not reported.

Does the patient have a right to know what has happened to him?? OR

would he have more pease of mind if he does not??

TO LIE OR NOT NOT LIE???

PURPOSE OF COUNSELLING

Dear students,

Counselling has been done in many organizations for variety of reasons. In some organizations the employees would be sent for counselling process as part of the organization requirement to achieve the stated standard.

As such,  do explain the PURPOSE of counselling from your understanding. Do elaborate regarding it.

Example:

One of the purpose of counselling is to adopt, change and maintain behaviours.
I believe through counselling the counselle could attain self confidence and self esteem for their future undertakings. In fact, i feel through counselling , the counsellee had the oppurtunity to view himself/herself to change their perception towards betterment.
