Problem

Shorten "Trauma Informed Care begins by knowing your patients' history. It will be important to share this information when known with team members---bedside staff, security, other care team members interacting with patient (clinicians, etc) Having trust and building rapport with your patient can help immensely if a patient were to become upset. Connecting w/a pt on a personal level, allows them to feel heard and understood. Recognize signs and symptoms of trauma and identify and decrease the patients triggers when possible, by creating a safe physical and emotional environment Explain care before touching Avoid restraints/retraumatizing the patient Give as much control and offer as many choices as possible Ask "What support might this person need?" Provide referrals and other resources to help the patient cope Ask "What happened to this person?" instead of "What's wrong with this person?" Question:-Can someone give an example of when they have used this trauma informed care approach with patients? Get the instant assignment help. If staff do not give examples, the instructor can provide an example: - Your patient has a trauma history and you use more caution before touching a patient, or providing cues, asking permission, ect."
