John Yu had a patient who was extremely anxious, agitated, and has Echolalia (which is a type of aphasia where the patient repeats words and phrase repetitively). This patient cannot communicate their needs or wants. Throughout the week, John Yu has shown extraordinary compassion for this patient and has found multiple ways to calm down and comfort this patient. One of the ways John has comforted this patient is by trying music therapy as a soothing technique, which actually worked. John used his personal speaker to test out the theory, and once he knew it helped the patient. He left after report/hand off, clocked out, went to the store, and bought this patient a personal speaker to help her and brought it back to the hospital all after his 12-hour shift. When he brought the speaker to the patient he told the patient it was a birthday gift since the patients birthday was the next day. John is the type of Nurse that tries everything in his power to provide comfort and compassion for his patients. Before, this patient did not sleep, follow commands, or communicate in anyway except for repetitive screaming until John Yu. Now this patient will follow commands, respond to questions, and expresses wants and needs.
