Collaborative Questions to Discuss for Sarah and Theo Smith
Q1: Sarah asks you if she can see her baby again. You kindly arranged a video call an hour ago as Baby Theo is still in another hospital.
What would you do?
- Make a phone call to the other hospital to see if this is possible, as you know this is a difficult situation and must be hard for Sarah.
- You decide to have a discussion with Sarah with the curtains closed around the bed. You explain to her that you have already organised a video call today and that she needs to rest and stop worrying. Her baby is being looked after and the nurses need to be allowed to do their jobs without being interrupted all the time. You will ask the nurse on shift tomorrow to organise a video call.
- Let Sarah know that you have heard her request and you will get back to her once you have
finished helping all the other patients.
Q2: Sarah is still on the ward away from her newborn baby. As you walk past you can see
that the curtains are around the bed space are closed and you can hear crying. No other staff are around.
What would you do?
- Keep walking as the curtains are obviously around for a reason and she is upset. She must want time on her own.
- Ask Sarah if you can come into the bed space and offer to support her. Listen to her concerns and put a plan of action in place for how her concerns can be better managed.
- Open the curtains and ask Sarah to explain what her concerns are.
Q3: Sarah calls you over and informs you that she is going to self-discharge and go to see her baby at the local hospital.
What would you do?
- Tell Sarah that this will not be happening and that she is not ready to be discharged yet
and needs to stay where she is. - Explain to Sarah that it would not be in her best interests to leave the hospital at the moment due to her current medication, post-operative condition, and health. Agree to have a chat with her and the ward manager about how you can facilitate more contact with Baby Theo to ensure they are bonding as much as possible.
- Ring security and tell Sarah that they are on their way.
Question 1 – If I am not seeing another patient I would do A although I am where this could lead to her constantly asking I think once a day is hard.
Question 2 – I would do option 2 it is important Sarah is supported.

Agree to have a chat with her and the ward manager about how you can facilitate more contact with Baby Theo to ensure they are bonding as much as possible.Yeah Sarah I was also thinking this. The patient needs to know that you are there to help them and will always do your best to support her, but I have been in a similar situation and they kept asking. I guess it comes down to open communication.
Q1: Make a phone call to the other hospital to see if this is possible, as you know this is a difficult situation and must be hard for Sarah. it is quite a difficult one
Q2: Ask Sarah if you can come into the bed space and offer to support her. Listen to her concerns and put a plan of action in place for how her concerns can be better managed.
Q3: Explain to Sarah that it would not be in her best interests to leave the hospital at the moment due to her current medication, post-operative condition, and health. Agree to have a chat with her and the ward manager about how you can facilitate more contact with Baby Theo to ensure they are bonding as much as possible.Q1. Make a phone call to the other hospital to see if this is possible. Let her know I will do what I can to support them both.
Q2. Ask Sarah if you can come into the bed space and offer to support her. I would offer an ear and support. Shoud she wish to talk we can also consider other means of support.
Q3.Explain to Sarah that it would not be in her best interests to leave the hospital at the moment due to her current medication, post-operative condition, and health. Agree to have a chat with her and the ward manager about how you can facilitate more contact with Baby Theo to ensure they are bonding as much as possible.1. Sarah asks you if she can see her baby again. You kindly arranged a video call an hour ago as baby Theo is still in another hospital
Option 1 but explain to her that you might not be able to help her straight away as you might have other patients.
2. Sarah is still on the ward away from her newborn baby. As you walk past you can see that the curtains are around the bed space are closed and you can hear crying. No other staff are around
Option 2, making sure patients feel they are listened to is one of the most important things you could do to help them
3. Sarah calls you over and informs you that she is going to self-discharge and go see her baby at the local hospital
Option 2, Sarah and her baby are vulnerable at the moment so it would be best to advise Sarah that staying in hospital and waiting to see her baby would be in both their best interests1. I would discuss outcomes as reported to me by senior staff with Sarah, also I would attempt to prepare her for the shock of seeing Theo in neonatal setup. I would warn her that it may be a shock, prepare her for the noise and how Theo will look and attempt to reassure
2. This is a difficult one, maybe she needs privacy but then again, maybe she needs support. I would reassure and see if she wanted to talk,
3, I would advise that her not being well herself may turn out detrimental to Theo as she could become unwell or deteriorate if she pushes herself too hard while he is in care and won’t be well enough to care for him when he is discharged home. I would reassure that video calls are available any time and staff would support her with this connectionQ1: I would chose option one. but also try to reassure the mother that the child will be looked after and try not to worry.
Q2: I would chose option two. It’s important to support the patient while being respectful of their needs.
Q3: I would chose option two.Question 1: Make a phone call to the other hospital to see if this is possible, as you know this is a difficult situation and must be hard for Sarah., of course this would be dependent on patient needs
Question 2: Ask Sarah if you can come into the bed space and offer to support her. Listen to her concerns and put a plan of action in place for how her concerns can be better managed.
Question 3: Explain to Sarah that it would not be in her best interests to leave the hospital at the moment due to her current medication, post-operative condition, and health. Agree to have a chat with her and the ward manager about how you can facilitate more contact with Baby Theo to ensure they are bonding as much as possible.
Q1: Sarah asks you if she can see her baby again. You kindly arranged a video call an hour ago as Baby Theo is still in another hospital.
What would you do?I would make a phone call to the other hospital to see if this is possible. It is important for Sarah’s well-being and recovery that she feels confident that Theo is ok and being looked after. If seeing him and speaking to the nurses helps to put her mind at rest then it is worth a phone call.
Q2: Sarah is still on the ward away from her newborn baby. As you walk past you can see that the curtains around the bed space are closed and you can hear crying. No other staff are around.
What would you do?I would certainly pop my head around and ask Sarah if I can come into the bed space and offer to support her. I would listen carefully to her concerns and try to put a plan of action in place for how her concerns can be better managed. Ignoring a mother who has recently given birth and is suffering from low mood could lead to a variety of situations escalating including depression, trying to discharge herself, poor recovery, anger, withdrawal, self-isolation and even violence.

However, I understand that it is a very difficult situation and if I have time then I will try to arrange another video call later that day. If I was unable to I would then explain that her baby is being looked after and I will make sure that the nurse on shift tomorrow will organise a video call.

Q1: Considering the fact that, this is a difficult situation that could lead to Sarah being emotional distress; I will make the phone call to the other hospital to see if her request is possible also, get the opportunity to get update of baby Theo so in case the call isn’t possible I can at least reassure Sarah that baby Theo is okay and being taken care of and feedback his condition to her.

Q1: Make a phone call to the other hospital to see if this is possible, as you know this is a difficult situation and must be hard for Sarah. I think it’s a tricky one because it is clearly such a distressing time for Sarah and I would want her to feel more at ease that Theo was ok. I think if it wasn’t possible to arrange another call I would ensure that I found out an update so that I could let Sarah know.

Question 2 – i would do option 2. offering Sarah support as it is a difficult time for her, especially with her husband not being able to be there for support.

I will explain to Sarah that I will try my best to help if I have the time to do so but however we have other patients in the hospital that might be of priority. I will also explain to her that the baby is in safe hands and there is no need to worry . If however I won’t have time I will hand it over to the next staff on shift if they can arrange Sarah’s request.

Agree to have a chat with her and the ward manager about how you can facilitate more contact with Baby Theo to ensure they are bonding as much as possible.Reacting to the video call with Sarah, I think I would be supportive as she obviously is in emotional distress. I would ensure her that Theo is stable and no concerns but is being actively monitored, which would explain the background noises. Regarding other babies, I would not disclose any information, I would reassure her that it is common for babies to be admitted without the parents being able to visit. And even though it’s frustrating, it is perfectly normal, I would inform Sarah that she needs to seek analgesia from the staff nurse in charge of her care and arrange another video call with Theo as soon as possible.

If the other hospital didnt have the capacity to facilitate a phone call, I would explain that it wasnt possible at this time, but i would try again later. I would also ensure i listen to sarahs concerns and offer her an alternative if facetime wasnt possible, for example calling for an update if she was very distressed.
