A Nursing Predicament on End-of-Life Patient Care, Bioethical and Legal Perspective

Preface

This book is the manuscript submitted by the class of BSN 4-3 for their final requirement in the course Nursing Leadership & Management. This book documents the entire process the class underwent in planning, organizing, preparing, and conducting a seminar.

Ultimately, credit can never go to one person alone. The outcome of every undertaking, may it be a complete success or utter failure, does not depend largely on the Adviser nor the President of the class as most would come to believe. It lies in the hands of each member and their willingness to do their part in this endeavor.

The contents of this book mostly reflect the technical aspects of preparation and the details into which the entire process was executed. The full content and details of the actual seminar are not included within these pages.

To the future students who are reading this, I congratulate you for this task is one of the final steps in completing your journey as we have done ours. The best of luck to your undertakings and may the Lord shine His blessings upon you.

The information contained within these pages is designed to help future students of the College of Nursing in preparation for the same task. It is important to keep in mind that the process done by the class is not absolute and perfect. This is not the only method of conducting a seminar successfully. Readers are urged to try their own styles and methods and simply use this manuscript as a guide.

The best source of ideas and inspiration still lies within the members of the class. This endeavor was by no means the concept neither of one person alone nor by a select group of students. Various concepts and ideas were gathered from the entire class and each member had their own unique input and contribution.

This book is also not the best guide a class can have. Nothing will ever replace the guidance bestowed by the Clinical Instructors. Their words are priceless and their wisdom is immaculate. Put them to good use.

Nursing Leadership & Management


Nursing Leadership and Management is one of the Major Subjects taken up during the first semester of the fourth year level in Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the Cavite State University.

BS Nursing Level IV Section 3


Section 3 of the fourth year level in the College of Nursing in Cavite State University, Main Campus consists of 47 hardworking students who are determined to do their part towards the completion of their tasks. The members work hand in hand with each other to achieve their goals and deliver what people expect of them. They believe that with each other, they can achieve more things.

(A lecture session on Nursing Leadership & Management)

This subject deals with the application of the concepts, principles, theories and methods of developing nursing leaders and managers in the hospital and community-based settings. It also includes ethico-moral/legal aspects of health care and nursing practice and the nurses' responsibilities for personal and professional growth. (Course description from the College of Nursing) It is believed that people become managers in their own ways at some point in their lives. The subject aims to form student nurses into effective leaders and efficient managers. Seminar Conduction One major requirement of the subject is the conduction of a seminar by the entire class. All aspects of this venture are taken care of by the students while being guided accordingly by their Class Adviser who gives assistance as needed by the class.

(The class of BS Nursing Level IV, Section 3)

There are principles that the class believes in to guide them through their endeavor. These principles will apply to everything done in the daily lives of individuals and not merely in the confines of this project. The following are the guiding principles that govern the class towards accomplishing their goals. Class Mission The class aims to successfully work together as a team and provide an educational seminar dedicated to a life of learning that is inspired by love, compassion, dignity, and respect for human life. The class also seeks to provide sufficient information with relation to the topic of the seminar, open the awareness of student nurses and to develop their clinical decision-making at times when bioethical issues and dilemmas arise within the health care area.

Establish basis of decision and practice on rendering nursing care on end of life patient care as a student nurse.

Class Adviser

(The class adviser of BSN 4-3 during a lecture)

For every successful class, there is one very effective Adviser. Class Advisers oversee that the class functions properly. They tend to be an outside entity able to see situations within the class from an unbiased standpoint. Highly effective Class Advisers are the ones who have seen to it to personally know their advisees and have gotten the heart of the students, so to speak.
Dimaranan, Redentor Class Adviser
The class adviser sees to it that things run smoothly. He offers advice on how to do things.

The class of BSN IV-3 is very fortunate to have an adviser who is devoted to his students. He really sees to it that he and his students are on the same page and understand each other.

Class Officers
Every organization must have its own set of officers to see that everything runs as smooth as possible. The same goes for the class. They have selected very capable individuals who are devoted to fulfilling their roles and obligations to the class. The set of class officers of BSN IV-3 are very hard

Along with the muse, they represent the class to others and show the beauty of the entire class.

These individuals see to it that everything is in order. They were selected because their class trusts them to lead the way and guide the class since the adviser is not always there to see things through at all times.

AKO: SA KANYANG TAKIP SILIM Chapter 2 PLANNING

An Overview of Planning
Planning is working out a broad outline of the things that need to be accomplished. Methods of execution are planned to give the entire group an idea of the flow of things. Initially, directives come from the overall chairman, in this case, the President of the class.

When changes do occur, they occur slowly and incrementally Preactivism utilizes technology to accelerate changes and is future oriented. It sees the future as preferable to the present and sees it as a possibility for growth. This mode of planning is usually full of errors. Interactivism or Proactivism believes that the future can be created. This leads to the notion that a desirable future for the group can be created in the present and is achievable through the proper utilization of available technology and resources. Planning does not always entail the use of one specific model. It is a dynamic process which has many variables that change though time and circumstance. Different modes may be more effective depending on the situation.

(The class President and Secretary discussing possible plans for the future.)

Conceptualization of the Seminar


Topics of the seminar are proposed by members of the class to the entire group. They present their ideas and name possible Resource Speakers for their selected topics.

Proper planning has various reasons and it leads to the orderly course of actions. It leads to success in achieving goals and objectives of the group while giving significant meaning to the work being done by individual members. It also provides effective use of facilities and resources of the group and will help determining costeffective manners to execute the plans. It also provides effective control of things and will help foresee possible events in the future. Objectives are cited and this gives the class a common goal. There are four planning modes which can be utilized to best fit the needs of the class. Reactive Planning occurs after a problem exists or has been identified. Inactivism spends great deals of energy to prevent change and maintain uniformity.

(Members of the class present ideas for the seminar.)

Each topic presented has their own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. These are pointed out by the presenters and the class shares their

thoughts and ideas regarding what is being discussed. It is during this part of planning wherein the final topic of the seminar has been selected by the class. This is one of the most important aspects of the seminar as almost all other things involved will revolve around this central theme. The interest of the participants will also be greatly affected by the selected topic as this will be the discussion for the duration of the seminar.

death was too negative for a title and was changed to Takip Silim which meant Twilight or Sunset. The title was finalized as Ako: Sa Kanyang Takip Silim. This depicted the role of the nurse in the twilight of a patients life and how it is ended. Possible speakers for the seminar were proposed and they class was able to determine which one they preferred. The next aspects of the seminar to be tackled were the Date and Venue. Although there was little doubt that it will be held at the SM Rolle Hall within the campus, it was still discussed as others might have ideas regarding these aspects. The Date, on the other hand, was one of the most crucial elements of the seminar. No specific date was set but rather a time frame which may coincide with the availability of the desired speakers. Once the basics for these elements have been laid out, it is time to move on to the selection of participants.

It was agreed upon by the class that the topic of the seminar was to be Nursing Predicament on End-of-Life Patient care; Bioethical and Legal Perspectives The title of the seminar was also of great concern. This was to be the one which will grab the interest of the participants and will ultimately contribute to their anticipation level for the seminar itself.

Selecting the Participants


Ultimately, this seminar is conducted for the benefit of the participants above the benefit of the class. They are the ones which should be considered when preparing the event. Since the topic of the seminar (Bio-ethics and Morality) was broad and embedded into the practice of nursing, students from the second year level to the fourth year level were selected as participants. The topics which will be discussed in the seminar will be beneficial to these participants and all of them will be able to relate to it. It was the norm that mostly only third and fourth year students were invited to the seminars but the topic was timely since Bio-ethics were discussed during the second year of the students.

Finalizing the Motif & Theme


A theme is a broad idea which delivers a message. It usually involves the setting or style of a specific event. A motif is a recurring theme, element or pattern which has a symbolic significance. The seminar has its motif and theme. It was determined that a formal theme was to be used. This creates an air of refined professionalism and dignity for the seminar and the ambience will entice people to participate.

(A waiter serving during a funeral.)

It was agreed upon that the Men were to wear coats over their tops to have a more dignified look. The women then chose what to wear. Others proposed to wear slacks while others proposed to wear dresses. Footwear was also an issue whether it was to be limited to closed styles or not.

(The class chooses themes and motifs which would best complement the topic of the seminar.)

The motif selected was Black and White. This created a corporate impression of the class and added to the formal allure of the event. It also added uniformity as shades of black and white were much more easier to match than different shades of pastel colors. The colors also held certain significance to the topic of the seminar which was life and death. White added to the idea of life, purity, justice, and morality. Black usually invokes death but it is also a color of power. It shows that nurses are empowered to help determine the kind of death a patient may endure. Other areas of concern were the attires to be worn by the class. The Men were

A formal attire which consisted of a top and a skirt was chosen over a dress. This was a more corporate formal attire than a dress. A plain white top for men and dresses for women would make it look like an all-female party with all-male waiters.

An Overview of Organizing
Organizing is the establishment of a formal structure of authority through which work subdivisions are arranged and defined. Organizational structures are the first concerns to be dealt with. The class requires a stable structure to follow during the course of preparation to minimize conflicts. The structure starts with the leader and the type of leadership being implemented.

thoughts and concerns regarding how this are done. Communication is a two way process and input from the populace is encouraged. There is still a moderate amount of control being maintained. Laissez-faire is a French term used for a type of leadership which freely lets the ones being governed think and act for themselves. This type of leadership is effective if the ones being governed are mature individuals who are highly capable in their respective tasks. There are various advantages and disadvantages to these different styles of leadership. There is not one style which is universally applicable at all times.

Organizing the Class


The President of the class implemented a style which was dynamic and constantly changing to fit the current situation of things. The president was Authoritarian about some decisions while implementing Laissez-faire on other instances. It was stressed than communication channels must be kept open between every individual of the class. Every concern must be brought up as soon as possible to find solutions to it. There was no absolute decision and everyone was free to share their thoughts regarding any matter of concern. The current set of officers were still in order and their duties remained unchanged. The current structure already implemented was used as a guide to organize the class. This included all plans to be implemented for the whole class which included the contributions each would make for the seminar.

(Class officers preparing an Organizational Structure.)

The different types of leadership include: Authoritarian leadership entails submission to authority. Power in this form of leadership is centralized with a great emphasis on Me rather than We. A high level of control is one defining characteristic of this method. Bureaucracy is a form of leadership wherein non-elected officials set and implement the rules. There is a great disparity between those who rule and those being ruled. Decisions are usually done without consulting the general populace. There is also a high level of control in this type of leadership. Democratic leadership emphasizes equality and justice. In this form of governance, every individual is treated as an equal and has a right to express their

Determining the Tasks


Different tasks where identified by the class which required attention during the course of the activity. Concerns about different aspects of the seminar were brought up and the tasks needed to be done were singled out and grouped together to have a better picture of what needed to be done.

The aforementioned tasks were only some of the identified concerns. They were then grouped together to form various committees to handle them.

Organizing the Committees


With the tasks identified, the committees to handle them were next to be created. Committees were primarily assigned to specific tasks which corresponded to the ones identified. These were their primary concerns and obligations. Five different committees were organized to divide the labor among the members of the class and an additional one handled the budget for the seminar. 1. Communication Committee Designed to handle all communications outside of the class. They are to coordinate with various agencies, most notably with the desired speaker for the seminar. They are to accomplish all communication letters and to coordinate with other committees regarding the needs from outside entities such as the faculties, staff, physical plant, and administration of the University. 2. Food & Hospitality Committee Their primary task is to come up and prepare all food and drinks to be served during the seminar. They are also to greet guests and participants during the seminar and to usher them to their respective seats. They are also to serve the food and drinks during the seminar and will clean up afterwards. 3. Physical Setup Committee Their primary function is to take care of all the physical set up of the venue for the seminar. This included the main backdrop for the stage and all decorations used for

Program & Documentation Committee This committee was assigned to create the program to be used during the seminar. They are to design and prepare all paraphernalia to be used and to prepare giveaways for the participants and tokens of appreciation for the guests. Additionally, each committee was requested to document themselves individually and this committee is to collate all data. They are also assigned to oversee registration during the seminar and handle most technical aspects during the flow of the program. 5. Ethical, Professional, Assistance, & Leadership Committee This committee is to oversee that all committees are doing their designated tasks and to provide assistance where needed. They are also to help oversee the program through on the day of the seminar. * Budgeting They are to handle all the finances concerned with the project and will coordinate with every committee regarding their expenses and needs.

AKO: SA KANYANG TAKIP SILIM Chapter 4 STAFFING

An Overview of Staffing
Staffing is essential when determining which person to place in a position. Highly qualified persons for certain positions entail high productivity of labor. It is important that a person is fully aware of the demands of a position he is accepting. Sufficient skill and knowledge is essential to properly fulfill his obligations. Staffing requires the administration to plan and determine where additional personnel is required. They should find manpower capable of filling the demands of the vacancies. It is important to orient the newly appointed staff members to the positions they are being placed to. Personal growth and development must be gained to foster a strong commitment to the job. It is a big advantage if people are placed where they can utilize their skill sets.

Communication Committee This committee requires excellent communication skills and a wide network of contacts. A deep knowledge regarding the topic is also a plus. The members chosen possessed these qualifications. The following were assigned to this committee: Miko Luigi L. Petelo Louis Carlos O. Roderos Shezel Jheane M. Matel Jenny Rose Novero Marisol D. Valmoria

(Selected members of the Communication Committee)

Assigning Staff to Committees


Assigning members of the class to certain positions was better left to an Authoritarian approach. The president of the class carefully weighed where members of the class are best suited to perform and who to work with to promote a positive work environment. Staffing was done per half RLE group in our duty which was composed of 6 members. This was done to ensure that members of the same committee have identical schedules as much as possible and are already comfortable working with each other.

Food & Hospitality Committee A genuine understanding of food was required for this task. Pleasing personalities towards the guests paired with beautiful faces are also needed when greeting guests and assisting the participants. The following were assigned to this committee: Mariel F.

Ethical, Professional, Assistance, & Leadership Committee Members of this committee are selected from different committees to ensure fairness. Each member will assist others so long as they are not in great demand in their primary committee. This committee will assist whenever they are needed to perform different tasks requested by other committees. Note that they will not do it for them, only assist them. Emilio Gabriel L. Santiago Miko Luigi L. Petelo Budgeting The budget for the seminar was take care of by the treasurer, auditor and president of the class. These committees were organized to divide tasks among the members of the class. Strengths and weaknesses were taken into account when they were selected. This utilized the positive traits of each member of the class.

Each committee was given free rein to manage their tasks as they see fit. If ever they find difficulties they are free to ask for help. The president of the class only steps in when he feels that there is a problem in a certain committee and an outside interference is needed.

Creative Activity - Directing helps in converting plans into actual actions and performance. When people become inactive, physical resources are rendered useless. Executive Function Direction function is carried out by executives at all levels through the working of an enterprise. A subordinate receives instructions only from his superior. Delegate Function Direction means giving your subordinates your trust and that they are worthy of the responsibilities you delegate to them. However, there is always a bigger responsibility on the shoulders of the manager.

Directing the Class


In directing the entire class of BSN 4-3, the Class President made sure that he was able to understand the needs and capabilities of the class. The entire group has needs which have to be satisfied and characteristics which determine how they act in certain situations. By understand each individual and knowing how to relate with them, the president is able to utilize different traits to his advantage and to the benefit of the project. In directing the class, the president did not dictate instructions. He functioned more of as a guide for the class towards achieving their goal.

(The Leader of the Program & Documentation Committee Directing Its Members)

Directing has several characteristics: Pervasive Function Directing is required at all levels of organization. The leader provides guidance and inspiration to the members of the group. Continuous Activity It is a continuous process throughout the life of an organization.

Directing Each Committee


Even if the tasks are divided to the committees and each committee has its respective head, the president is still hands on when directing each committee and tries to be involved in each one as much as possible. He assists the heads of each committee while ensuring not to overstep his boundaries and overshadow the authority of each committee head. Communication Committee The bulk of directing this committee is still on the hands of the head. They coordinate with potential speakers and prepare every letter used for the seminar. (Communication Letters are explained in the Coordination section; Chapter 6 and can be found in the Appendices)

(The Communication Committee with the Class President visiting with a potential Speaker.)

It is important that the committee be able to finalize a schedule which would accommodate both the speaker and the venue of the seminar. The Communication Committee worked in coordination with the Program & Documentation Committee to come up with a proposal for the seminar. Proposed Speaker:
The invited speakers in this seminar are welldistinguished in their fields. Dr. Antonio Alejandro Rebosa, medico-legal consultants in various prestigious hospitals including de la Salle University Medical Center and St. Lukes Medical Center will be sharing his expertise in the field of Bioethical and Legal perspectives of end-of-life patient care. On the other hand, Atty. Glenn Luansing, The Legal Expert, from the Royal Pentagon Review Specialists, will also speak about the said topic.

(The Communication Committee Working on Communication Letters.)

Selection of the Class Mission, Vision, Objectives, and Philosophy (Chapter 1) were done by the communication committee. The president also accompanied them when they visited possible speakers for the seminar. Directing this committee for the president is not very complicated since it is small and most of its tasks are paper work. They are able to govern themselves properly with little interference.

The task of conceptualizing the backdrop of the stage and the layout of the venue rests with the group. What the venue will look like during the day of the seminar and how it will feel for the participants is greatly due to their planning and conceptualizing of things.

(Aut Vincere, Aut Mori)

Backdrop Written by the artist of the painting The painting was entitled Aut Vincere, Aut Mori which means either to conquer or die. The backdrop was made of various elements depicting life till death. This concept is unusual yet controversial. The said backdrop contains numerous symbolisms pertaining to worldwide issue euthanasia. A part of this lends comparison to a work by Van Gogh, Starry Night. The elements have been lined horizontally with relative reciprocity. This was done so as to sustain the eye flow across the whole painting. An element selfishly dominates the center of the backdrop. This is the so-called Tree of Life, representing the patient from wellness to disease. Crows approaching the tree signifies the inevitable omen brought about by impending death. Perched on a branch is another crow. Resting still, this signifies the silent, peaceful death specifically the humane practice of intentionally ending life to relieve pain and suffering.

A clock is chained on the Tree of Life. Each and every one of us cannot escape time. The concept came from a passage from the Bible. Ecclesiastes 3: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born and a time to die The brick road embodies the way to eternity, the way towards death. The shades-of-blue cubism beside the skyline is the abstract representation of the waterfront. It is inspired by the River of Styx in Greek Mythology. This is the river that separates the world of the living from the world of the dead. Buildings beside the waterfront signify the healthcare providers' involvement and the lights symbolize their alertness. On the contrary, is a world full of life. There is a globe beneath the tree. This signifies euthanasia being a worldwide issue. Beside is a river which symbolizes the flow of life, and the swan with the little ones as the family. The plants serve as the representation of the trees youth and the rocks as the obstacles.

It has one of the longest scopes of work in terms of timeframe. It is the first to start and the last to finish. It involves organizing and implementing a fluid program to ensure that events go as planned during the seminar. Directing this committee was mostly the task of the Vice President of the Class who was also the head of this committee. They are the most independent committee and required the least help from the president.

Floor Plan The layout of the SM Rolle Hall was designed so that each participating class will have a block to their section. This will minimize confusion and mix-ups of different sections when using only two whole blocks for the seating. This will also allow the speaker to move around the auditorium more freely and will allow more interaction.

An Overview of Reporting
Reporting is done to keep all the right persons informed of the happenings in an organization. It is important that all incidents which take place within an organization like a class be reported to the concerned officials especially the president. It is equally important that the managers keep their subordinates informed about the state of things to keep them informed of the situation. This gives the members a peace of mind and that the organization is still headed towards the direction of their goals.

It is also responsible for the contacting, coordinating, and assuring the availability of the competent resource speaker in accordance to the availability of the proposed venue.

(Reports done by the Class Treasurer)

Reporting different aspects of the project brings areas of concern to the president and thus allows the group to deal with them accordingly. Records of all important events should be kept for future reference.

Reporting of Committees
Reports from different committees may be done to make the activities of that committee more transparent to the entire group. There are different methods of reporting and information contained within them may vary.

After receiving the designated tasks for the committee, its members immediately planned for the proposal for the said seminar. The group then came up with the proposed theme, title and resource speakers. These were reported to the class and necessary changes were made according to the preference of the majority. It has been decided that only one resource speaker will be invited to share his insights regarding the agreed topic. Along the preparation, the organizers came to know a person who is also appropriate as another resource speaker, so it has been decided by the class to have two resource speakers. The class, through the efforts of the communication committee, coordinated with the proposed resource speakers and has settled a deal with them.

lowest possible rates without compromising quality are essential factors when faced with the demands of budgeting.

(Budget proposals for the Seminar)

Budgeting in a business sense is the planned allocation of all available funds and resources to each department in an organization. Budgeting allows managers to control overspending in less productive areas and allocate more funds in areas which yield better results. Effective budgeting requires both flexibility and inflexibility. Certain expenses have to be fixed in order to minimize exploitation and control overspending. Some expenses change depending on circumstances which cannot be controlled by the organization and thus flexibility should be applied during these circumstances.

(Buying in Bulk is more economically feasible)

There are certain expenses such as professional fees of speakers which are not as flexible as one might expect. Services offered such as rentals of equipment may also be inflexible at times.

(Flexible expenses) (Professional fees are usually inflexible)

An example of a flexible expense is the materials used. The prices of materials may vary depending on the supplier. Finding the

Budgeting is not limited to the allocation of financial resources. Time management is another aspect of budgeting which requires great attention. The proper allocation of man hours to certain tasks will prove to be as important as budgeting your finances. Time is something we cannot get back, so the proper and effective use of it is as invaluable as the proper allocation of funds. Another resource which requires careful budgeting and allocation is the human resource of a group.

proper allocation of the financial budget of the class. Budgeting is essential to the entire process of things since can be found incorporated in every aspect of the managerial process. It is present in Planning all the way to Reporting. This aspect cannot be neglected if a successful outcome is desired.

Some human resources are priceless, such as the technical assistance provided by the technical guru of the Rolle Hall, Kuya Kulot.

The work force of a group should be utilized as efficiently as possible. Individuals have to be placed in positions where they can best utilize their skills and be as productive as possible.

The Importance of Budgeting


Budgeting allows a group to forecast events and anticipate any problems they might encounter in the future. It also allows the group to determine whether certain financial decisions are correct. Proper budgeting allows an organization to make maximum use of its limited resources. A well-placed work force or a well-organized plan of activities is as important as the

Evaluating the Class


Evaluation of your peers, especially your friends, is particularly hard. Although the final evaluation of the entire class still rests upon the class adviser, input and evaluation from the class president is still needed as a basis since he is more aware of the individual efforts put in by the members of the class. From the President of the Class What we do in life, echoes in eternity -Maximus Decimus Meridius The task of evaluating my class belongs to me. This is one privilege and burden I must carry at the end of the day. I believe that my entire class, save for very few individuals, have given their all and a whole lot more to this seminar. Their devotion to the accomplishment of our goals is unparalleled and their resolve cannot be put into question. From the beginning of the endeavor, almost every individual has been immersed in every step of the process and really took ownership of the seminar. They understand that this seminar belongs to each and every one of us. This will be our greatest legacy as a class, our contribution to the history of the College of Nursing. As President, I chose to involve the entire class in all decisions about the seminar. As much as possible, all visible outcomes are ideas which came from the entire class. I was not asking the class to help me put into action my ideas, rather I was determined to help the class make their thoughts into reality.

The success of the seminar was due to each and every individual who participated in the conception of our project. I especially commend my class officers, from my VicePresident, all the way down to the Muse of our class, for taking charge of the class and leading the way towards achieving our goals. If perfection really did exist, the effort given by the class would be the epitome of it.

Evaluation by Committee
Each committee has their own evaluation. Some chose to evaluate as a group while others chose to evaluate individually. Each committee was free to do as they saw appropriate. Communication Committee From the head of the committee
EVALUATION The Communication Committee is responsible for coordinating and interacting to the offices and its designated personnel whether it is inside or outside the University premises. It is also responsible for the contacting, coordinating, and assuring the availability of the competent resource speaker in accordance to the availability of the proposed venue. These responsibilities were carried out by its members wholeheartedly and successfully although the committee has faced some inevitable challenges in the process. Those hard encounters were solved by its members through effectively following the chain communication. And through the process, with all those challenges, a lot of changes do occur. But despite the conflicts among the schedules and availability of the important matters for the event, there is still a good control within the situation.

we appointed Mark Anthony Peralta as our leader. For me he had good and bad side as a leader. His good side was he was a democratic leader wherein, he entertained and accepted all the suggestions and opinion of his group members. He didnt ignore anything we shares in regards with this committee. He has an open mind in terms of our suggestions. He is also a God fearing person. He always seeks for Gods guidance in everything we do. He divided the task equally for each member. The bad side he had was when he was not able to attend the meeting on time. Denalyn Ann R. Tormo

With regards to the evaluation of Mark Anthony Peralta which is our leader in Food committee. Behalf of my co-members, I could say, he is a responsible though he has some flaws and I know each of us does also. Sometimes, he forgets to inform us about his some plans, sometimes he doesnt find ways to stay or to keep himself available for us. Its kind of hard but then, because these conflicts were solved by working this out all together with more patience and understanding between the leader and his members, I rated Mark Anthony as a good leader. Agnes Ocampo

To our leader, Mark Anthony Peralta, he did his job well. I can say that he is a very good leader because he can lead as along our day to do our jobs he had delegated to us. Whenever we have any problems regarding the food he is always listening to it and is very eager to help us solve those problems. Mark Anthony Peralta, as a leader, can be a successful leader because without him the seminar will not be possible. Sumaya, Ana Faye T.

From the members of the committee


RICAFRENTE, Kristel Joyce R. Mark Anthony Peralta aka Pepe is our committee (Food committee) chairman. We know that Pepe have a jolly type of personality and often the reason of our laughs inside the class. I believe he is responsible enough in handling our committee, though he is sort of lax. He let us decide for the betterment of our committee. He was also a bit emotional during the seminar, maybe due to | Nursing Leadership & Management 53

nervousness. During our meetings for the preparation for the seminar, he asked each one of us, what are our suggestions and he is concern about the prices of each dishes. He wanted to be sure about the kind of food and the amount of time to be consumed in the preparation and delivery. Weve encountered some problems which is inevitable like we have to change the caterer because it is a quite far from our school, the quantity of the bottled water is not enough and lastly, the afternoon session ended very early and we have to serve the food a bit earlier than the expected time but the food was not in the venue yet. We trusted Pepe, though he also have a negative side aside of being lax, he wasnt able to delegate his member appropriately during the seminar, and as a result, there was sort of little problem in delivering food during the morning session, but through that situation, weve learned that as members of the committee we have to do our best though we dont have any commands from our head. We trusted Pepe, because we know that he can be responsible and he partially prove that to us, I believe he did achieved some of our expectations. He knows how to solve and handle problems with a big smile. For me, Pepe have a score of 7/10, not bad, right? Cielo Saquilayan

Evaluation The food committee is the largest committee of the seminar and I believe that we have met our goal to provide good food to the crowd. The leadership of Pepe is not the perfect one but with the help of the entire committee, we have served our purposes in the right manner. The decision making in the group is made in a very democratic way, which I believe is one strong points of our leader. He was able to initiate good meetings where in everyone in the committee can share his thoughts, ideas and opinions with high regard. Everyone in the group is acknowledged to suggest and the majority of the crowd that goes to a certain decision wins. He is good in communicating with the group and sharing it to the class. He also distributed task well and he managed to do things even if he had a lot of other tasks done such as being an emcee in the afternoon session. However, there are also flaws in his leadership. Since the committee is a large crowd, a leader must always know who his members are. There are instances where in he would appear surprised to see someone in the meeting and he will wonder if that certain person is a part of the committee when in every meeting, that particular person is always present. Another flaw will be the lack of initiative to act things out in advance. He wants things to be done just in the nick of time and he was not able to oversee what materials can be possibly needed on the day of the seminar. We end up buying other needed things on the very day of the seminar, which is a hassle on our part and his part as well. But what I admired is his ability to do things in a pressured manner. At some point, information dissemination in the group is not done in a good manner, for instance when a meeting is conducted, not everyone in the group is given such information. A leader must not only be good in words but in doing things in the proper manner, in the right time. All in all, he still did his responsibility as a leader and embraced it.

Evaluation If I am to evaluate our leader in our committee, I would give 6 out of 10, 10 as the highest and 1 as the lowest. Even though he directed us what to do HE IS NOT THAT RESPONSIBLE to be a leader for us. Peano, Ella Mariz

Leader: Mark Anthony Peralta He delegates well his subordinates by delegating each and everyone in their responsibilities. He also becomes an effective leader and I know that he do his best to have a good seminar.

Still, we were successful. Pe, Kathleen Anne S.

Food Committee Our seminar entitled Ako sa Kanyang Takipsilim: A Nursing Predicament on End-ofLife Patient Care; Bioethical and Legal Pespectives has been successful and it is because of the cooperation of the whole class just to make our seminar to be perfect but we all know that there are still problems and flaws we had encountered which is inevitable. Each committee who has different duties and responsibilities did a great job to their respective assigned tasks. They accomplished all the assignments assigned to them in full efforts. Each committee has an assign head wherein he/ she will be responsible for dividing the work and allocating to his/her members, thus it helps in reducing his/her workload. In our committee (food committee) our head was Mark Anthony F. Peralta a.k.a Pepe . He was a responsible leader and very open in a sense that he does not only thinks on his own opinion and perspectives, he also consider the opinion of his other members for the betterment of our committee. He assures that every member has an equal distribution of tasks and be responsible in each assignment he had assigned. During our meetings, he wants that each member will give his/her opinions and suggestions regarding for the preparation of foods. But the negative side about Pepe was during the seminar he wasnt able to delegate his members appropriately which results to not properly distribution of foods during the morning session but we all know that though our head was not able to delegate us regarding in distributing the foods, BS Nursing Level IV Section 3

Our leader used the role of democratic leadership for he gave us the chances to vote for the things that we know are right. Luckily, he successfully played that role. He applied the principle of nursing leadership and management in handling his subordinates. There are many advantages and disadvantages of having Mr. Peralta as our leader. Here are some advantages. First, he was very funny and seemed like everything would be going fine and okay because it he was pretty sure that nothing will obstruct or hinder our plans. That made me confident that we would succeed in meeting our group goals and objects. Secondly, he delegated the tasks to his subordinates and made sure that everyone had his own assignment. Another thing is that he sets meetings frequently for our plans and documentation. However, he is not a perfect leader. He also has some disadvantages. One of these is that he always loses his patience and does not believe in himself. There are times that he escapes responsibility and leaves this responsibility to his subordinates for no apparent reason. He just talks but not acts to what we expect of him. A leader should not just delegate. He must have the characteristics that a leader should possess for his subordinates to follow him. Mr. Peralta often leaves his subordinates to the air. He always says that he is tired and he has done the biggest thing in the organization. There are times that he ignores the feelings of his followers. A good leader must be a good follower and must respect the decisions of his subordinates. During the seminar proper, he loses patience. At first, he must have anticipated the problems that could obstruct or ways, he failed that.

Evaluation for the Group Leader Mr. Mark Anthony Peralta Pepe as we call him, is a very jolly and energetic person. He used to make us laugh and I can say that he is a big part not only by our committee but by our section as a whole. Like I have said before, we are not perfect. Pepe as a leader sometimes forget his task. He just pointing out what are the things that we must do as his member then he as a leader dont have a work to do. Sometimes he left us while working. He used to do his own things that are not related to our committee while we are all getting busy just to be prepared in our very own seminar. Theres no perfect individual. I myself am not a perfect one. I am not saying that Pepe is not a good leader, it is just my own opinion and it is what I have noticed.

I can say that he was a good leader because he had given us assigned tasks for us to be organized. Though, he was lacking that concept of being prompt and organized in his own ways. He was sometimes making reasons just to protect his self from others criticisms about him. If I would rate him on the scale of 1 to 10 were 10 was excellent and 1 was bad, I would give him 7. 7 means that he was good but he sometimes forget the big responsibility that was assigned to him.

Having Mark Anthony Peralta as our leader in our committee was very fun, he was able to direct and give instructions to his subordinates properly. He is a very responsible leader and has good attitude like being a very open minded leader and willing to listen and accept new things and ideas for the better of the seminar. He was also able to delegate works appropriately and equally to each and everyone and always makes sure that all of us has a job to do. Pepe always calls everyone's attention and conduct a meeting about the updates about our works. The only thing that Pepe wasn't able to give attention was on the day of the seminar, Pepe wasn't able to delegate his subordinates properly that's why there's a very little disorganized happened when giving foods to the participant for the morning break. Though I am also a member of food committee, i was not able to help and distribute foods because I was assigned by our president to take the video of the whole seminar. 56 Nursing Leadership & Management |

EVALUATION FOR PERALTA: Peralta (Pepe) as our leader of food committee, he is a very responsible and a liable leader. He sets meeting to keep us informed and sees to it that each member is doing their assigned tasks and everything is organized. He is very careful in budgeting so we will not exceed the allotted budget and did not forget to ask each members opinion. During the seminar, he did not hesitate to volunteer himself as the class runner to buy for what we need, even if its other committees need. Pepe performed his role well as our leader.

She is also good in painting that is why we put her in that position to guide us and lead the group to our goal. Shulamaye gave us the opportunity to paint and she allows us to paint the things we can do to the painting. She always gives constructive criticism to our work to help us improve our work. She also encourages us whenever we feel unconfident to our work or whenever we hear any side comments about in our work. She also finds time in our hectic schedule to do that project. For me she was a great leader and without her we couldnt do that awesome painting, and also because of her expertise in painting that painting is great.
