1.   Explain how you communicate with your patients and co-workers.

 When I am talking with these parties the first thing is to ensure that I listen to them without intercepting into their communication. Giving them time to respond to the concerns they have as I encourage them to talk, Tucker et al  2018. Once they are done expressing their concerns, I get into the discussion respond to all their inquiries one by one.

2.   Give an example of how you have collaborated with your colleagues from different work areas, on a task or deadline, using communication skills and written or digital skills.

There was a moment when there was an open day screening of patients, it needed us co-workers to cooperate, Eliacin et al  2018. As a team leader I approached each of them shared with them the burden of the work and on their hearts and the day was a success.

3.   Give two examples where you have identified potential conflicts, dealt with communication constraints and resolved the situation successfully. 

It was one day that there were two of my colleagues who used to argue of who is more competent in the area of diagnosing parents. Hence, one day they were in a deep and heated debate and I realized that soon it would yield some baleful results. I called one of them we talked and encouraged him that he can do well in the area of contention, I also found the other college and talked with him, encouraged him how great potential he had on the area. Soon each of them was feeling satisfied and I brought them on a roundtable took some drink, talked and we settled the matter down.

4.   Describe what type of issues you should report to your supervisor or appropriate person.

In reference to this concern, there few fundamental issues that can be protocol dealt with. Anything that that is administrative in nature that goes beyond my jurisdiction is worthy noted by the supervisor. Also anything that involved the policies of the service which I may not get clear I would refer them to the supervisor.

5.   What type of documentation have you completed in your workplace? What are the correct documentation procedures you have to adhere to?

In the past experience I have already completed medical record documentation.

The procedures that are necessary to be followed in order for a complete adherence are as follows:

a.    The date of the document must be inserted and the author who has done the work must be followed.

b.    All the patient's records must be well chronicled in the document

c.     The abbreviations used in the documentation must follow the desired protocols of the documentation policy.

6.   State one way that you have helped to improve a workplace practice and who did you involved in the process.

Actually am very delighted to point out that, through the experience I have had in the workplace of involving the patients, listening to them and encouraging them, things have really changed. Of late more patients visit the place for consultation and they are enthusiastic when interviewed concerning the area. I engaged the director in ensuring the facilities that the patients may need are availed.

1.   Describe a situation where you would have to work within your own limitations in a group environment. How would you still work with the group if you had a cultural bias with one of the workers?

I would work within my limitations when there are various conflicting issues that may be occurring. When there are language barriers and communication hindrances that may occur. Sometimes it is natural that one can have a distaste in another person because of the limitation in terms of the cultural diversities.in such a situation I would major on what can bring us into oneness and forfeit the differences so that I can meet my goals and objectives of my purpose.

2.   Explain how you can contribute to workplace safety and professional relationships whilst respecting co-worker’s diversity.

If engaged in such a circumstance there must be the way I will ensure that the environment we are working is safe and adaptable.  Through my personal effort to ensure that nothing evil that is targeting my workplace has succeeded. Through engaging the fellow workers in deciding what are the ground objectives we can set to achieve a better environment. Through also being keen to identify any potential harm through the prevailing risky conditions and participating in avoiding them.

3.   What strategies do you use when working and communicating with co-workers from diverse backgrounds?

When people are coming from diverse environments it is necessary to create an environment that unites them together. Some of the strategies that can be applied include: understanding the cultural differences, contributing to ensure that acclimatization of differences are harmonized , Hartmann, St. Arnault & Gone  2018. It is also imperative to associate oneself in the common things, parties, events these bring people together. It is a precious attainment.

4.   Explain a situation where there was an issue understanding a person’s communication, how did you resolve it, what impact did it have and who did you involve in the process.

There was a case of a co-worker who communicated to another in unbecoming manner, this almost brought an uproar. It was not easy, the good thing is that the one who talked badly was my friend , Lamontagne-Godwin et al 2018 and I involved him, reasoned with him and changed his perspective. He publicly admitted the oversight and promised to work in harmony with others. This was met with a jubilation from others. I engaged another friend and together we sorted the issue.
