Reflective Essay

The relationship between the nurse and the patient is the foundation of nursing care across the field of ailment, health, and recovery. The formation of this relationship is enhanced by the nurse and is focused on the patient and objectives. Whereas some facets of this association align with expectable actions, other features might be obfuscated by patient anticipations and the complexities of social communication. An understanding of the nurse's responsibility establishes the restrictions of the relationship. However, in these limitations are many probabilities for communication that might be supplementing and therapeutic for both the nurse and the patient.

A senior man acquired an infection and then died in the hospital after personnel at a nursing home did not adequately oversee and handle pressure wounds on his feet and backside. The man who was known as Zdenek Selir was taken to the Leamington nursing facility in Southport after a stroke. However, by the time he was the hospital, his infection had spread and was destabilizing his organs rendering him a vegetable. Not content with the first reaction from the director of Opal Aged Care, handed over the issue to the institution's complaints commissioner. The pressure wounds on his back and lower buttock had deteriorated his skin and was transforming into an infection. The rest of the pressure wounds were on the heel, and they were already showing signs of infection (Lewis, 2016). I feel sad about the incident as it is disheartening for a nurse to neglect his/her responsibility of delivering health care and leave the patient to suffer terribly. There are only negative patient and nurse perspectives when looking at this incident as it indicates a failure to observe proper nursing perspectives.
