#43 From Salty DM to Empowering Dialogue: Navigating Patient Autonomy

Happy Hour with Bundle Birth Nurses

In this thought-provoking episode, Sarah & Justine dive deep into the realm of patient autonomy and the pivotal role of nurses in supporting patient's choices. They explain the Bundle Birth approach in going back to the fundamental principle of consent, emphasizing the responsibility of nurses to uphold the patient bill of rights. The conversation explores collaborative care, informed decision-making, the role of policies and procedures, correct documentation, and the availability of AMA and other resources to aid in risk management. All sparking from a message on Instagram (you’ll get the tea), Justine opens up about her personal experience of being impacted by negative messages on social media, which serves as a reminder that our words on virtual platforms have tangible effects on real human lives.
