I will empower my patients to share their stories and seek justice if necessary. A clinical experience that I will consider a valuable learning experience for my future violence prevention practice occurred on the unit when an eighteen year old girl was admitted to the unit. This girl was severely depressed and emotionally vulnerable. We had an older man on the unit who had a history of sexual abuse and he admitted he was having sexual thoughts about the young girl. The girl was placed under constant observation to protect her from potential violence from the older man who may not have been able to control his impulses. The girl felt unsafe in the unit and was relieved to learn she would have a constant nurse to keep her safe. The right decision was made to advocate for the need for patient safety in a vulnerable, high-risk situation. In my future practice, if a patient feels at risk of sexual abuse or is a victim of sexual abuse, I will advocate for their safety and provide them with information regarding women's shelters, counseling services, rape crisis centers or any other information they need. a safe place. Safety is of the utmost importance in patient care and I will do my part to help in any way.
