PTOLL_BioreactionTask.docx Task #1- Bioreactions A specific time that I can recall being in a scenario where a bioreaction occurred was one of my first shifts at work. A patient was withdrawing from alcohol and was extremely agitated. The patient was not in their right mind and broke the metal top of the IV pole off. The environment of the scenario was placed in the patients room, where there was a bed, recliner, end table and IV pole. The patient was alone in the room and another nurse and I had heard some commotion in the room which prompted us to approach the room. We found the patient to be extremely agitated with the metal IV pole in his hand. The patient had the broken metal IV pole in his hand, my first bioreaction was fight because I felt scared in that instant moment. The stimulus that triggered the fight response in me was seeing the patient holding the broken metal IV pole in his hand like a baseball bat. My fight response was activated because I was initially scared as to what was going to happen next in the room. I can recall my heart rate escalating, body tense up, start sweating and taking a step back away from the room. Before this scenario happened, I was confused as to what the commotion in the room was, I didnt know if we were going to find the patient on the floor from a fall or if family was in the room moving things around. During the scenario I felt a rush of adrenaline come over me in an instant and yelled out for someone to call a code to get security to the roo. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .
