Despite she has worked in the same hospital isuigical %%artist for 9 months, she is noted to be performing unsansfactonly in your ward. Last week she nearly choked a patient to death when feeding him breakfast and she almost dropped a patient on the floor when giving bed bath to him. When being interviewed by the shift in-charge, she could not see bow serious the mistakes she had made. She did not consider her patient care skills were poor and inadequate. Her sick leave rate is noticeably higher in the last three weeks. especially on public holidays, giving reasons of back pain, feeling headache and dizziness. Last week. some patients and relatives complained her for reluctance to respond to call bells. Colleagues in the saint ward were gossiping about her little commitment to work as a team.
