One of your patients for the day is Mr. Stein, a 66 year old male with a primary diagnosis of a myocardial infarction. You enter the room to conduct your morning assessment and you find that Mr. Stein does not appear to be in a positive mood. As you begin your assessment, Mr. Stein criticizes your technique and berates you for anything you seem to do. Should you continue with your assessment? If so, could you say or do anything different to help improve the situation? How do you think receiving criticism and negative feedback may affect your job performance, if at all? Prior to beginning your assessment, could you have said or done anything that may have prevented or reduced Mr. Stein's hostility towards you?arrow_forward
