    Katlyn, I loved your video! That is so great that you got to experience so many new things on this FW. I loved your goal to be more organized, I am with you there and would loved to be more organized before Level 2s get here. It sounds like you got to do a lot of hands on this FW which is always exciting! Thanks for sharing and see you soon!

    Katlyn, thanks for sharing your experience! I think it is so cool that you got to see a spinal surgery on your rotation! It seems like your FWEd exposed you to unique things and made the most of your two weeks there. I was in an acute setting on my last Level I and I also enjoyed seeing the OT/PT collaboration with clients as they each can meet the client's needs with their expertise. I completely agree that getting organized is a priority once back on campus. I'd like to get together and see how you're going to organize your notes so we can compare what may be the most efficient method. Have a great summer and I enjoyed hearing about your experience!

Even if a person is getting in calories even excess calories, this doesn’t mean they are nourished. I found this to be a very important point. I have known this fact, but I was reminded of how not everyone knows this. It’s so important to educate both the clients and their caretakers about nutrition, especially when they are hospitalized. Being hospitalized atrpohy sets in quick, and it is difficult to impossible for a body to heal when they aren’t receiving the nutrients they need to feed their bodies. I never realized the importance of protein for a healing body, and how that can make or break a clients healing potential. The intervention idea I have for a single client is a nutrition journal. For many people especially the elderly malnutrition can come from not paying attention to what they are putting in or not putting into their bodies. Having someone write down and ...
