Palliative Care
Question 12
a) Penny has the following symptoms according to the Residential Aged Care End of Life Care Pathway – day to day deterioration, requires more frequent interventions, is semi-conscious, refuses to take solid food, weight loss, profound weakness, dementia, pain due to cancer lump, bed ridden most of the day according to Care (2015). These symptoms are indicative th
at Penny requires Palliative care and the nurse should focus on keeping her comfortable and pain after removing all active medical interventions.
b) As the palliative care for Penny has been started, the management of wound of her malignant breast lesion would be done without any invasive procedure. There would be regular dressing to keep it free from infections and pain medication would be given to resolve pain.
Question 13
If the patient does not adhere to the cultural protocols and traditions, then it becomes important to analyze what is important and right for the patient. As an Enrolled Nurse, it would be essential to know that patient is in palliative care and his comfort is the most important says Australia (2018). The non-adherence of patient to the protocols should be explained to the family. The family should be told what the protocol is, what the patient says and what would be best for the patient.
Question 14
One of the challenges of nursing profession is coping with the death of any patient that you were caring for. Self-care becomes important to cope with the stress of the job explained Leung (2017). It is difficult for me to accept that the patient I had grown so close to had passed away. I feel a sense of loss and I need to come terms with the situation. For this, I would discuss the matter with my friend and co-worker, I would give my condolences to the family and would take leave for a day or two to feel normal again.
Question 15
Williams (2017) described Advanced Health Directive as a type of living will. It is method to give instructions regarding the future of one’s health for the time when one is unable to make his own decisions. Any adult can make an AHD after fully understanding its consequences. This form is available online and at bookstores and should be made before any serious health emergency in the presence of a witness. The original form should be kept safe and the copy should be given to the person taking care of one’s health like family or healthcare professionals. Many people use it for palliative care to decide about end of life care.
Question 16
Moon (2020) described how difficult it becomes to handle the family of a patient who would be dead soon. In the case of Michelle, as the family members had gathered and were emotional, the EN should try to talk to them and console them. the nurse should tell how the patient fought the disease and would want her family members to be brave at the end. Also, to improve the situation of Michelle’s room, her daughter should be taken out for some time and talked out of crying. Then, Michelle should be asked about her pain levels and the management for same should be done.
Question 17
According to the Nursing Code of Ethics, Council, A. N. (2002) the nurses should hold in confidence the personal information shared to him or her by the patient. Thus, in this case when the family wants to know something about the property, the nurse should decide what is best for the situation. If there was any such discussion with the nurse, then should decide whether to tell or not. If there has been no discussion then she should politely ask the family to talk to the patient if the condition allows for the same.
Question 18
In a research paper Hudson (2019) explained six ethical reasons why the teenage children should be told the truth about their death. In this case, as Jane is minor, her parents have the right to decide for her. But when she asks the nurse, the nurse should not hold back on ethical reasons.
