Gita Proudman was indeed a nurse with a compelling narrative to tell. Gita handled the matter of the baby’s death correctly, given the circumstances. She noted the baby’s face, nose, eyes, and brain deformity in the video. In this case, Gita was aware of the infant’s condition, and she was told that the infant would not last their shift; the infant’s mother had already said goodbye Gita felt that the infant was being left alone to die, and nobody wanted to look at him. Gita attempted to improve the patient’s well-being as she mentioned in the video that she cuddled the infant in her arms to care for the infant through human touch. According to College of Nurses of Ontario Practice standard (2019), Improving a patient’s well-being entails promoting the client’s health and welfare and avoiding or eradicating damage. Determining what is good or ideal in each scenario might be challenging. To choose the optimal course of action. It can often be difficult to weigh a treatment option’s possible benefits and risks; in Gita’s situation, she did what was best for the patient. Â Furthermore, Gita followed the CNO’s ethical practice guidelines; because of this scenario, she may have experienced Ethical uncertainty as a nurse. Gita could have been concerned about the standards she should have used at the time of the problem (College of Nurses of Ontario, 2019).
According to Health Quality Ontario (2016), when patients face physical, social, and psychological disorders, nurses give compassion and respect to these patients and their loved ones in times of need. Gita demonstrated end-of-life care by offering human touch and comfort to the infant. This scenario may have been handled; differently; she should not have sent the infant to a secluded area where no one could see her; in my opinion, she should have been in the hospital room where the infant was receiving care, so everyone passing by would know that she did not harm the baby.
