Let s Practice What Matters to You? Natalie is a nurse at your facility. Her patient, James just arrived for his dialysis treatment. In the past 2 weeks James has been late for some of his treatments, sometimes for more than an hour. He always apologizes and advises that he will be on time for his next treatment. Natalie is aware that due to his lateness that other patients are being affected. They are getting on their machines later than their scheduled time. Natalie tells James this and advises him that it is important that he comes to treatment on time. James again apologizes and agrees to be on time for his next treatment. Natalie thanks him and continues on to assist another patient. Did Natalie use a patient centered care approach? Did James feel he could voice his reasons for being late? What could Natalie have done differently? 18

Let s Practice What Matters to You? Michael, a dialysis technician at your facility helps his patient Diana get settled for her treatment. The set up is interrupted by 3 short phone calls the patient receives where she increasingly gets upset after they are completed. The patient is bilingual and is able to speak English, but speaks her native Spanish when she takes the calls. Michael waits for Diana to finish the last call and tells her to just relax. He tells her to not be upset by the phone calls she received. During the treatment the patient takes a nap, and when she wakes up she is tearful. Michael tells Diana not to be sad that her treatment is almost over and she can go home to her family soon. Did Michael use a Patient Centered Approach? Was Diana able to talk about what was bothering her? What could he have done differently? 20

Dorothy looks at Mary and says Today is my late husband s birthday, and I miss my husband. Mary tells Dorothy that she is sorry for her loss and tells her that she is here to listen if she needs someone to talk to today. How did Mary use the Patient Centered Approach?
