Assessment instructions
You are preparing to care for Pauline during a community nursing visit:
- Review Pauline’s case below andconsider the patient/person
https://www.freep.com/story/life/advice/2016/03/08/ask-amy-lonely-middle-aged-woman-wants-friends/80961282/
Pauline is a 48 year old woman who lives alone in her 2BR government housing unit in Canberra. Pauline has a history of diabetes and anxiety
,
which are managed by
prescribed medication
s
, she has no surgical history. Pauline trained as a teacher’s assistant, however, has not been employed for 20 years due to her social anxiety.
Pauline is currently receiving Community Nursing visits at her home twice per week for wound assessment and dressing after sustaining an injury to her right shin. The wound resulted from a deep scratch from a rosebush thorn while gardening in her small courtyard 6 weeks ago; the wound initially did not stop oozing even with a basic dressing (bandaids) applied. After her injury, Pauline waited until she could get an appointment with a bulk billing (due to financial pressures) General Practitioner close to her home, this was 3 days after the injury.
Pauline has also recently suffered bereavement and has not been motivated to engage in her normal activities/hobbies and has stayed primarily indoors necessitating in home care.
This week, as a student nurse, you are attending Pauline’s home with the Community Nurse. When you meet Pauline, she is sitting on her couch, she is not maintaining eye contact and is replying quietly ‘yes’ or ‘no’ responses to the Community Nurse’s questions about her wound. Pauline’s clothing is loose and appears to be stained. You observed a pile of dirty clothes on the floor in the laundry as you walked in. The nurse goes to the kitchen to prepare the equipment for the wound dressing and asks Pauline is she would like a cup of tea, Pauline replies “No, I have no appetite and no milk in the fridge”. The Community nurse invites you to have a conversation with Pauline regarding her wellbeing.
2. Research health assessment frameworks and health interviewing related to psychological, social and emotional health; prepare a set of questions for a health interview focused on psychosocial/emotional health needs.
3. Engage in a conversation (we suggest around 10mins) with AI patient Pauline
