Science Nursing Care Discussion

Hello Toyin,

Good job on providing compassionate nursing care to your patient especially managing his pain and keeping it at a bearable level. Having a spinal surgery with the attendant risk of paralysis can be scary and distressing, and as seen in your patient and his family members, they were in despair, how did you address their despair when they thought he will never walk again as this made me wonder what kind of information in the form of client education was provided to the patient about their disease condition and surgical procedure? Also, did you take a history of this patient in order to identify potential habits for lifestyle modification that can be discussed with the patient? I would also like to recommend implementing non-pharmacological therapies alongside pharmacological ones in managing the client’s pain in the future. Cheers to a wonderful and fulfilling career in nursing.
