Mia, a medical student, is on a placement at an antenatal clinic in a rural
community. The clinic is under resourced with only one doctor and three
midwives. A patient comes into the clinic to have her baby delivered. Most
staff, including the doctors, are unavailable as they are dealing with
emergencies. An experienced midwife requests support from Mia to deliver the
baby. Mia does not feel comfortable helping deliver the baby.
How important to take into account are the following considerations for Mia
when deciding how to respond to the situation?
1. Her degree of competence
2. that no other staff are available
3. the risks involved in delivering the baby
4. That the midwife has experience delivering babies
5. the learning experience that she will get from helping deliver the baby
6. That she does not feel comfortable helping to deliver the baby Answer - 1.
very important
,2. of minor importance (This is of minor importance because what is more
important is ensuring that the patient and her baby are safe. Patient safety
must be placed first at all times. In this case, patient safety must be considered
first, regardless of the lack of resources.)
3. very important (Considering the risks involved in delivering the baby is very
important because Mia must consider if she is competent enough to
appropriately manage these risks and assist the midwife to safely deliver the
baby. As a medical student with limited knowledge, experience, competence
and scope of practice, Mia must recognise and only work within the limits of
her competence.)
4. important (It is important to consider that the midwife has experience in
delivering babies because Mia has limited knowledge, experience,
competence, and scope of practice as a medical student. Therefore, she is
required to work under the supervision and direction of more experienced
qualified clinicians within the multi-disciplinary team, such as the midwife in
this case)
5. of minor importance (The learning experience that she will get from helping
deliver the baby is of minor importance as doctors, including trainee doctors,
must regularly take part in activities that maintain and develop their
competence and performance. However, patient safety must always be priority.
In this case, although the experience of assisting with the delivery of this baby
will inevitably be of value for Mia's development, a more important
consideration is the patient's safety and the safe delivery of her baby.)
6. Very important (It is very important for Mia to consider that she does not
feel comfortable helping to deliver the baby, as she needs to identify and
analyse the cause(s) of her discomfort. If her discomfort is due to a lack of
confidence
, Serena is a dental student who is shadowing a senior dentist, Mr Wardett. Mr
Wardett is replacing a filling for a patient using a brand-new tool. The tool is
different to the one Serena conducted her training on at university. A few days
later, another patient requires a filling replacement and Mr Wardett asks
Serena to conduct the procedure while he supervises. She is not confident in
her ability to use the new tool.
How important to take into account are the following considerations for Serena
when deciding how to respond to the situation?
1. That Mr Wardett may not be aware what tool she trained on at university
2. That she has never conducted the procedure using the new tool before
3. that the new tool may be more effective
4. That Mr Wardett may not give her other learning opportunities if he finds
out that she is not familiar with using the latest tools
5. That she is a student so will not be expected to Answer - 1. important (This
is important because both Mr Wardett and Serena are responsible for ensuring
patient safety. It is Serena's responsibility to discuss her expertise and
limitations with her clinical supervisors just as it is a clinical supervisor's
responsibility to ensure that the student is competent before asking them to
carry out any task.)
2. very important (This is very important because both Mr Wardett and Serena
are responsible for ensuring patient safety; Serena needs to communicate her
lack of experience honestly to ensure that Mr Wardett is aware of her
limitations as well as what skills he needs to support her to develop.)
