What should you ask yourself if unsure

No- very innapropriate
Better to give it to the consultant responsible for supervising your placement
If someone has been sick, should they be in the hospital
Definitely not- not for at least 48 hours
If someone is sick who should they seek advice from
Not a surgeon- they can pass it to patients
But they shouldn’t later email the surgeon to apologise as they have a busy schedule
Not a hospital department- more patients that shouldn’t be exposed
What importance does the consideration that you have no evidence to back you up have
Very important
Should you tell someone uncomfirmed rumours if they’re unconfirmed if it may affect their confidence in the healthcare staff
Never
What sort of consent should patients give
INFORMED consent
What’s the importance of the consideration If your unsure if someone has got permission from the lecturer
Very important- dont make assumptions until you know for sure. You dont want to damage trust between students if it may not be true

Never
Very innapropriate
It shows disrespect for the tutor

Don’t dismiss their concerns
Offer constructive support
Be truthful
