Life Saving Measures

Takeaways From The Presentation.

During, the three presentations that occurred this week I’ve learned more about the effects, consequences, and the reason for drug/substance abuse. Leading, to numerous takeaways. (my first takeaway) To begin, are 60-90% of drug usages begin with trauma from generations or from parents who are addicts. (Second Takeaway) Creating, the second route of the individual where he or she cannot control the usages of the substance. Eventually, building up the substance within one’s body that would lead to long term health issues. Therefore, changing/shaping that person completely into someone that they were preventing from becoming in the beginning. (My last takeaway) As, the time would pass the addiction would grow, leading to consequences such as losing a job, losing a healthy relationship with someone such as your loved ones. Take in for example; The Story from the ER when the woman would constantly stumble into the lobby completely drugged often. Leading, the staff to not even bother, to continue to help her anymore.

Critical and Reflective Thinking Competency

I can analyze evidence to make judgements within an unexpected situation. A simple step that I would take before stepping in completely is to check for the signs that the nurse has mention of the individual. Therefore, to look for a response back to ensure that they are conscious.
