Clinical Reasoning and Framework
Introduction
In this video, GP is asking question with a patient. After watching this video, I found
that patient is very depressed in her life and facing many problems in her life. The way
patient Alison was describing the symptoms of her depression, it touched my heart insider
and I was totally lost in her problem. The interview of GP from patient clearly shows that
how these types of people are committing suicide after facing such type of strong depressive
disorder. In the present video, Alison is a widow woman and having two children. Alison is
facing problems in sleeping; every time she is suffering with low mood and reduced energy
problems. Even when the supermarket cut her wages then she was depressed. In entire, video
that is lasting more than 14 minutes, patient was crying and weeping. Here, I am so
impressed with GP that how well she analyse the problem of patient and the way she was
asking question to Alison. Alison is 38 years old divorced lady who is suffering from various
depressive disorder problems such as low mood, reduced motivation, reduced energy,
problem of weight loss, loss of appetite, tearfulness, reduced energy etc. This video shows
that how Alison was depressed and what are the major symptoms of the depressive disorder
(Kriewaldt, Davies, Rice, Rickards, & Acquaro, 2017). After watching the video, I feel that
Alison is somehow bringing some negativity in her life and that are the major causes behind
her depression. However, in the end of the video, GP gives an explanation to Alison about
depression symptoms and tell her that she will be fine after treatment. The way she came in
the clinic and told the problems, it is a positive thing for the Alison.
What is clinical reasoning?
I think clinical reasoning cycle is the better way to detect the problems of people and
helps the doctor to detect the chronic symptoms before treatment. I was very impressed with
the way GP asked the question in very normal way to Alison that will further assist the doctor
in effective intervention of patient (Croft, Gilligan, Rasiah, Levett-Jones, & Schneider, 2018).
It has been clearly understood after watching the video that how doctor uses the clinical
reasoning cycle and framework to evaluate the mental and physical conditions of Alison and
studied that how these problems can be solved.
Clinical Reasoning process
There are eight main steps in Clinical reasoning process:
