Reflection Question: What is your typical practicum day like?
health has declined he has dementia bad. We were unable to understand what the pt was saying. We also explain to the patient friend that if he goes into the nursing home they may place a lien on his home. The friend is POA over the patient. This patient is a 91-year-old male.
We had an “active” patient who transferred from GA. The patient wishes was to come home before he passed. Patient was laying down peacefully. The patient is no longer eating anymore so he doesn’t have much longer before he go. We had to educate the patient family on what to expect before the patient pass. We also explained to the family the nurses, social workers and home health aid will come out daily. Only the nurse would come 7 days a week, social worker and aid will come 5 days a week. This patient is a 78-year-old male.
We had one patient who is on meth who we had to discharge. He decided to keep doing drugs and his behavior towards the staff is unacceptable. His mom is afraid of him and what he will do. We explained to her if she feels threatened for her life she will have to call the police. He goes to his dad house to get high. He is us for pain meds and we are unable to give it to him the doctor refuses to do so. However, we did give him a referral for home health agency to come out to give baths and stuff we are unable to keep him as a hospice patient.
