Reflection of an Incident at the Aged Care Homes
This section is dedicated to a specific incident that I witnessed in an Aged care facility.
Gibb’s reflective structure has been used for reflection. This involves starting with a description of the incident and then evaluating the events to plan future actions (Husebo O’Regan & Nestel, 2015).
After receiving my diploma in beauty & skin care in 2014 I was offered my first job on 22 February 2016.
This was my first job so I was thrilled about it.
I was already a nurse and I decided to work in an aged care facility.
I chose to join aged care because my previous experience with elderly people will be helpful in caring for patients.
It was a fairly normal day. My colleagues introduced me to each other and showed me all the wards.
I joined because I wanted to help older people with daily activities, such as helping with personal care or transport.
I was able to help them shop.
It was great to be able to connect with so many people in this aged care.
I enjoyed talking with them and trying to make them feel comfortable to share their problems.
They also loved talking with me.
I suddenly found one elderly lady lying on the ground, crying in a loud voice.
I tried to help her stand but failed.
I finally managed to raise her with the help and assistance of other people.
She was experiencing severe pain in her ankle. It was also very warm in the area and it was swelling.
I provided her with primary care and tried communication with her.
Through communication, I found out that she had tried to go outside. She then fell and broke her leg.
I encouraged her to stay put and kept trying to motivate, because she seemed to have lost all hope.
She had lost her husband two-years ago, and her child had taken her to the aged care center.
I was devastated for her, but I tried to keep my anger in check.
The experience at the age center had inspired me to go into the health sector. I chose to become a registered nurses and then to take the one-year online course in emergency nurse.
The day I spent in the aged care led me to emergency nursing. This will allow me to be able handle any mishaps with my knowledge in the future.References:Husebo, S. E., O’Regan, S., & Nestel, D. (2015).
