To understand the link between health and illness, the physiological,psychological and social aspects of an individual's life must be taken into account. This project will be based on specific issued relating to nursing practice which I identified during placement. While (2002) states that effective communication is fundamental to effective consultation and appropriate environment which support privacy and confidentiality. Bate (1999) observing patients, allowed me to notice the distressing situation that the patients was which make them feel uncomfortable which have effects on their social, physical and psychological among older adult with mental health illness. During my observation in placement I found it to be more applicable to older adult complaining to the nurses how constipated the feel.
The author’s position on this was she being manipulated by the patient, how she felt, and her feelings as she was in the nursing profession during this time. 2) McCaffery, M, & Passero, C. (2000).

(Szpiro 2008) The review utilized Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning Domains as a framework. Outcome measures included those from cognitive, affective and psychomotor learning domains. The objective of the study was to review the current methods of teaching in the emergency room and the deterrents to education such as patient anxiety, pain and limited time, along with the outcomes and the effectiveness of teaching interventions utilized. Educational methods included discussion, written materials, videos, and at times cartoons (for illiterate or non-English speaking patients) related to the patient’s individual health concerns. In some cases multiple teaching methods was required.
The following essay will discuss a clinical incident which may have had the potential to cause harm to a patient whilst being nursed post operatively. The focus will be to critically discuss drug errors, why they occur and consider the rationale behind intravenous (IV) fluid therapy, outlining the possible negative effects of fluid overload on a patient whilst considering the nurses role in respect of legal and professional issues surrounding the incident. To protect identities and comply with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Code of Conduct (2008) all names will be changed. The model chosen for this reflection is the Gibbs (1988) Reflective Cycle which encompasses 6 stages of description, thoughts and feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and action plan which will continuously improve my nursing skills by learning experiences and develop my self confidence when caring for others (Siviter 2008). Description The critical incident took place on a surgical ward whilst I was on placement.
In this essay I will be discussing the case study number 8 for Adult nursing which concerns Mr Jones who is 73 years Old. I will be discussing what vulnerability is and the concept of vulnerability and say why I think the patient is vulnerable and I will make reference to the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) Code of Professional conduct 2008, I will discuss the professional values in the case study to show how it was demonstrated and how it has not been demonstrated. I will discuss how the nurse could have empowered Mr Jones by demonstrating respect and dignity as well as treating him as an individual. I will also discuss anti-discrimination practices in relation to this case study, how it could be promoted and I will reflect on the unit about what I have learnt from undertaking this assignment. “The concept of vulnerability is the susceptibility to physical or emotional injury or attack.
A secondary goal is to derive personal lessons which I may use for my own professional development. The following portion expounds on the value of reflective learning and analysis, as a means of gaining insight from a critical incident. An Account of the ED Episode of Care To maintain confidentiality, the identities of the parties involved were withheld, including those of the hospital and that of the patient. The medical staff that treated this lady has been referred to as the Nurse or Nurse Practitioner and Clinical Fellow.

Next to conclude this assignment one will go on to assess the contribution of motivational interviewing to nursing practice. Motivational is defined as “a skillful clinical style for eliciting form patients their own good motivations for making behavior changes in interest of their own health”. (Rollnick et al 2008). Motivational interviewing was developed by professionals working in the area of addiction. Theses specialists were focusing on patients particularly with alcohol addiction.
