Person Centered planning is a way of enabling people to think about what they want now and in the future. It is about supporting people to plan their lives, work towards their goals and get the right support.

The goal of continuously educating staff in the importance of nursing-sensitive indicators hopefully leads to improved care and a reduction in negative outcomes. Nursing-sensitive indicators include anything relating to the quality of nursing care (Sauls, 2013). This includes a wide range of topics from the incidence of pressure ulcers to patient satisfaction scores.

Some of the basics include, use of restraints, respect for culture and patient wishes, and transparency between the medical staff and the patient/family unit.
Ghaye et al (2000, pg 6) explain “reflection has the potential to transform both who we are and what we are able to do, for and with others in our healthcare worlds”.

Reflective practice permits health care professionals to assess the impact of their work on service users, families and their colleagues. This is essential for people working within health and social care as it improves clinical practice.
The aim when caring for Clare is to eradicate or moderate symptoms that interfere with daily activities and provide the best quality of life possible (Extermann, 2003). By assessing the patient’s functional ability to perform ADL’s it is possible to substantiate the need for support with activities of daily living.
