Reflection Paper on Life with Grace by Jennifer Schwetfeger

Question: Describe about improvement required in nursing communication, exceptional nursing communication and nursing intervention. Answer: Improvement required in Nursing communication Jennifer found herself in a critical situation where the nurse in the hospital was yelling for help when Grace went blue, clamping her lips. Jennifer acted quickly and squeezed the resuscitator bag that ultimately saved Graces life (Schwertfeger, 2014). This was the first area where nursing communication could be improved. The second identified area where the nursing communication could be improves was while communicating with Jennifers family and making them realize that the situation with Jennifer and her newborn was crucial but not impossible to overcome. The third area where the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) have discharged Jennifer and her micro-preemie Grace with the complex instrument is identified as the area where communication can be improved. Exceptional Nursing Communication Due to the premature birth of Grace, a nurse was always there to help Jeniffer around and providing medical support for the next nine months. The nursing care provided to the Schwetfegers family with moral support and guidance that assisted the family in overcoming the situation. The nursing care provided to them helped in setting up a medical facility and environment for Grace at home [2]. This is the third exceptional area of nursing communication. Nursing Intervention The installation of tracheotomy and bringing the feeding tube while Jennifers return to home with her medically fragile newborn was the first nursing intervention found in the book. The second nursing intervention was identified when Grace had undergone an operation for gastroesophageal reflux disease (Waller-Wise, 2012). The installation of the gastrostomy tube allowed Grace receives nutrition and eat food to her stomach directly. The transformation of Schwertfegers house with medical equipment and care is identified as the third area of Nursing Intervention. References Schwertfeger, J. (2014).Life With Grace. Waller-Wise, R.
