Question : provide Reflection by following tghe driscoll model of reflection and by using NMBA standards.


Case study: Mr Clive Jenkins is a 78 year old retired navy engineer. He has a past medical history of congestive cardiac failure (CCF). This developed after he experienced a severe myocardial infarction 2 years ago. Both ventricles were adversely affected.


The recent death of several close friends have made it difficult for Clive to be concordant with his CCF management and sustain the necessary lifestyle adjustments required to prevent exacerbations. This has resulted in several admissions to hospital for management and review of his CCF.
For this current admission, Mr Jenkins was referred to hospital by his GP after rapidly gaining weight since his last visit the previous week (currently 95kg, last visit he was 92kg).


The time now is 0800 and you have just come on for your morning shift in the cardiac ward. Mr Jenkins has been on the ward for only two hours after spending approximately 12 hours in ED waiting for a bed to become available.



Mr Jenkins is slightly disoriented. When repositioning himself in bed you observe that he becomes short of breath. You ask him if he will get out of bed for breakfast but he is reluctant to mobilise as he feels so tired. You also note that his water jug is empty.
