   Hi, I am nurse for today’s shift. I can see that you are quite tense or angry. Is there anything I can help you?
   I see that you don’t want these fluids going on and your upset for getting it, but the doctor ordered these fluids with electrolytes because this electrolytes that your body needs affecting the functions of your heart. These electrolytes that is in this fluids going to your body will help replaced the electrolytes that was deprived when you did not eat. The abnormal heart beat is only just one of the symptoms that your body is showing now a days.
   Now, would like anything to make you comfortable?
   There will be a psychiatrist that will see you sometime today, to assess you further and help you to overcome this predicament of yours.
   Psychiatrist is not only for the mentally ill patients. Even me I am seeing a psychiatrist to help me on my anxieties. Helping me to overcome what I am going thru on difficult situations. Like me, you can find help in the psychiatrist in dealing this.

   Notes: Hi My name is Mina one of the shift nurses will care for you. Please can I have your name and what can I call you as you want? Ok, nice to meet you. You are looking a bit nervous about intravenous treatment but I want to reassure you that this treatment is for your body needs to have electrolytes that protect you from suffering abnormal heart rhythm and help your body to get through balance.

   I know it seems to be a bit scary but believe me, it is essential for your body. Your body appears to lack some vitamins and minerals because of your feeding habits am I right. Could I ask if it doesn’t mind you give details about your food intake? please. I understood. Sometimes we don’t want to eat what we need to intake after that it comes to a habit in our lives and our body starts to give signals about lacking some essential nutrition. 

   So the doctors have tried to compensate for your body essentials by giving this liquid. and it makes you feel comfortable after taking this treatment. But you will see a specialist doctor who is a psychiatrist who will help you to overcome your poor nutritional habits. Please don’t think like that. It is no wrong with it. Everybody needs to get supportive treatment or TALK TO SOMEBODY PROFESSIONAL in their job.

    Hi!
    my name is Jayne. And i am your nurse for today’s shift.
    I noticed that you are upset because of the IV hooked to you.
    I understand your concern but this is important to stabilize your electrolyte imbalance which resulted from your eating habits.
    So, I want to know more about your eating practices. What you usually eat? how often do you eat? This must be upsetting to you, but your eating habit is affecting your health. And a psychiatrist is needed and that he is coming to see your in a while. Yes, I completely understand your point but a psychiatrist is not only meant for mentally ill patients. They can cater to a wide range of patients especially on their behavior. Currently, meeting with the psychiatrist is a great move to help you understand more your about your eating behavior.

    Gemma May 23, 2023

    Good morning, my name is Gemma Neptune, one of the nurses working here today at the Emergency Department. Can you tell me your name please? Nice to meet you.
    I noticed that you’re a bit anxious. would you like to tell me a little more about you’re feeling?
    I am sorry to hear such, but I can reassure you that intravenous fluids you’re receiving will do you good. the purpose for receiving the fluid is to reestablish the abnormal heart rhythms you present with due to poor diet. Also, potassium is an electrolyte to aid in maintaining your hearts normal heart rate. Is this clear?
    Would you like to tell me a little more about what your include in your diet and your eating patterns? Reason for asking about your eating habits is because we need to get a baseline of your daily intake so we can improve your nutritional status, am I clear?
    Another thing I had to mention, is that you will be reviewed by the psychiatrist, understood?
    He is only here to help and to talk to you about the importance of consuming a healthy diet and how to deal with your anxiety to order to prevent such incident from re-occurring and avoiding readmission.
    thanks for your time and enjoy the remainder of your day
