When given an assignment you respond appropriately and in a timely fashion -you are proud of your work that you do for the patients you care for. You have received a new assignment from the Occupational Therapist who asked you to work with Mrs. Smith on her personal care and dressing routines following her hip replacement surgery. When you review the medical chart, you note that in addition to recovering from her hip replacement surgery she was recently diagnosed with liver cancer. You become very anxious with the concept of treating this patient. You try to pass off this patient assignment to another OTA/PTA - you get angry when no one will take this assignment - although you feel you are justified in your anger and your good reputation will hide your response in this current situation. When the Occupational Therapist becomes aware of your actions around this assignment, she questions you about this and you quickly avoid the question and tell her you have another patient to see. What you don't want to tell to your colleagues - is that you father died from Liver Cancer 3 years ago. Using the information in this case - Identify and Describe Your Open self, Blind self, Unknown self and Hidden self. You are working as part of a multi-disciplinary team in a general hospital.
