Question 30 of 31

In the healthcare services industry there are many emotions in a day. Have your emotions ever been in the way of your productivity?

"Everyone is emotional to a certain degree, and I would consider myself kind-hearted and open. A career in healthcare can be emotional at times; however, I choose to focus on the positives. For instance - if we are close to losing a patient, I will focus on the positive memories rather than the illness. This mindset has consistently allowed me to continue with a productive shift no matter the emotions that come my way. "

      2nd Answer Example

      "This is a great question. I think the right answer is, 'of course, but not for long'! We've all had those tough cases. A child dies, a patient yells at you, or you have to give someone a cancer diagnosis. Its professional to take a few minutes after an encounter like that and let those emotions come and go. I cope with these emotions by telling myself that it's not my story, its the patient's story. I think it's okay to be moved by someone else's experience, but I don't need to make it mine."

      "Devastating events can cause a drop in productivity, especially when our facility was hit hard with COVID death and illnesses. There was an interruption with the normal flow of work when residents had to be sent to the ER, PPE and isolation protocols were set in place, and even dealing with the process of resident's dying in the facility. Healthcare is a 24-hr job; we stay on task as much as possible, elicit help when necessary, support others when time allows, and have a good communication for the next shift to continue with continuity of patient care."
