Introduction
This assignment will tell a
ief description of rules and policies that are subjected to medical practice. A tribunal has suspended a nurse, as she was not able to provide agreed chaperoning for a colleague. Various medical practice rules will be learned by keeping in mind the instance.
Legal as well as Professional Implications and Obligations for Nurses as Chaperones
The moment, at which the practitioner takes intimate examinations on a victim, the nurse is asked to attend as a chaperone. There are various legal eligibilities attached to it and nurse can end up involving in lawsuit or litigation. The nurses must be aware of the expectations as a chaperone from them in the eyes of law. From this, they can protect them as well as patients. Being rational can protect them from future cases filed by the customer.
This is sometimes good enough at first; however, the patients think that it is unfair with them. Chaperons should not have obligations and impartial to the health agent. According to the rules, the nurse has the right to reveal the case of the agent’s misconduct freely. The below-mentioned details will show the nurse's responsibility and the steps, which can be taken if they are involved in the lawsuit (Jeffers, 2018).
Significance of Chaperoning during Intimate Examinations
There are several health interventions, which are intimate. Sometimes, these are even potentially distressing and emba
assing for the patients. For example, the genitals often need to be touched,
easts examinations and there are situations, which needs the practitioner to be close to the patient. There are times, in which the practitioner needs to take a pulse or listens to a person's chest with medical equipment (Mannion et al., 2018).
There is an organization named GMC, which stands for General Medical Council has suggested that female and male specialists need to be present at the time of treatment. Sometimes, a nurse is there at the time, treatment is going on. The only role is not just present there but to support the victims and explain to them the queries, which they have or just let them know the reason for the treatment. They are trained properly, have excellent communication skills and have sufficient clinical) knowledge (Dieujuste, 2018).
During sensitive treatment and examinations, the role of the chaperon is to provide the reassurance to the patient, emotional and physical help and comfort. It is the responsibility of an experienced chaperon to report the misconduct, unusual and unexpected behavior of the senior agent. The chaperone has to protect the customer from pain, distress, physical, ve
al and sexual abuse and humiliation.
If an intimate examination is required, the nurses should explain to the patient why treatment is important and provide the patient an opportunity to ask queries, and a
ief explanation of what this includes. The management should offer an experienced chaperone to support the nurses through this or ask the patient to engage a friend or family member present to act in a chaperone capacity if this is accurate (that is leading up to the intimate process). If the patient does not require a chaperone, the chaperone should note that the offer was already made and was declined by the person in the patients (Nakazawa, Oka, Tamura & Takehana, 2016).
The chaperone should obtain the patient’s consent before the treatment, and note that the permission has been obtained in the patient’s consciousness. The chaperone should follow the policies where there are any issues relevant to patient capacity. The chaperone should always be ready to discontinue the treatment at any stage should the patient request this and record his reason. Children should be provided with the chance to have a parent's presence if they ask during the whole process. If a child does not want a nurse to be there during an intimate treatment then the guardians can be there as chaperones if this is his/her interest, making sure that the duty is fully explained and consent cleared and recorded (Marinaccio-Joseph, 2019).
Chaperones should at all times allow patient privacy to dress and undress through the use of coverings, screens, and blankets. They should tell what they are trying to do at each level of the treatment, the result when it is finished and what the HCP requires to do next. They should keep consent relevant and avoid using any personal and wrong comments at all situations and times (Donati, 2016). If a chaperone was there throughout the procedure, they...
