Answer 1

Identify 5 generally acceptable qualities of leadership in healthcare and briefly describe each.

1) good communication skills:- this helps in better adjustment of patient with healthcare worker

we can also decipher what information we need.

understand their needs and be able to explain their care plan in a way that makes sense to them so they feel valued and supported.

2)Empathy:-

as a good health professional we should be compassionate to patients and provide comfort whenever we can provide it. At times, your patients may find themselves in difficult or frustrating situations and they need someone to listen, to understand and respect their wishes or point of view. If you respond kindly, with empathy and understanding, it will have a positive impact on your patient.

3)Multitasking

we have to take care of many patients during any shift, assessing their health and wellbeing (both mental and physical), help with medication, working in harmony with doctors and other nurses on their progress, and keeping up-to-date with the notes. It can be a very busy environment, there are so many things going on at the one time, so the ability to multitask is a must-have.

4)promblem solving skills

There’s always a new challenge or problem to solve, often in a very short amount of time and you need to think on your feet. You could be faced with any number of issues. The family of a patient could disagree with your care recommendations and treatment schedules could change at the last minute. A good healthcare worker will be able to work through a problem calmly and rationally and come up with a solution that everyone (and most importantly, your patient), is happy with.

5)fit and active

As a healthcare you will be on your feet for most of the day. You may also need to lift heavy objects from time-to-time and assist your patients with getting around. So, it’s important to be physically fit.

While you’re not expected to be a super athlete by any means, you do need to have a moderate level of fitness so you can keep up with the fast-paced nature of the job – particularly if you’re working in a hospital, going from room to room checking in on your patients.
