Reports found that a nurse failed to recognize the signs of cardiac arrest in a patient she was caring for at a hospital inGlasgow. Julie Ann Walker has been put in place by her watchdog after a series of missteps at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
A report released last week by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) found that doctors thought patient was unwell, yet she left him. I went. According to a statement from her colleague, Walker "demonstrated no urgency" when the man's condition deteriorated.
Witnesses say medics did not sound an emergency buzzer. Instead, slowly approach a colleague and have him/her look at the patient.
Nurse 3 told investigators: Emergency buzzer, I rushed past her, shouted, and pulled her buzzer.”Glasgow Live reports.
And Nurse 4 pointed out:
The NMC, knowing that the patient was "gray and unresponsive," rejected Walker's claim that he "cried for help" from two nurses. In the September 2017 incident, she stood 10 to 15 feet away.
She also did not believe her claim that her chair and other equipment were in the way and she could not access the emergency buzzer.
The report explained:
"The Panel accepted Ms 4 and Ms 3's evidence that you did not scream for help. You also found that Ms 4 and Ms 3 would have heard you if you had screamed for help, and given that you did not indicate urgency to Ms 4 and Ms 3 And the committee was satisfied that you were unaware of this patient's symptoms of cardiac arrest when you entered the room." He was found to have failed to perform a proper postoperative follow-up and lied about not being handed over by a colleague in October 2017.
and worked as a nurse at Craig Eng. When she was ill, she took the wrong medicine, was unable to record it, and without help was unable to properly perform the medical procedures expected of her. } A Goin Care Home Walker in 2019 admitted not to consult the patient's notes before attempting and failing to insert a catheter, and did not bother to mention it in the notes.
The Board undertakes that within 18 months of Walker's record imposing the terms of the medical order for a period of time, I will notify anyone who inquires about her registration.
