Nursing Oral Presentation Assessment Answer

Case Study
Mrs. Helena Gerzick is 86 years of age, a polish immigrant from the 1950’s and is in an aged care facility in Toowoomba. She has been placed in the facility recently as she lives on her own, and has been deemed unsafe to self-care and mobilise in her home without some supervision. She is a widow of 7 months and is still grieving the loss of her husband. She is upset about leaving her family home her husband built for her on arrival to Australia and questions staff daily on, “when can I go back to my home?”

You are the student nurse caring for Helena and you respond to a call from her nurse-call button. Helena has family visiting her and they start to question you on why Helena has been told she “can go home this weekend as she is improving” and that “my nurse today said that I can go home.” You attempt to explain this is incorrect, when Helena interrupts and states she was told this yesterday evening and again this morning when escorted to the bathroom without any assistance and was praised by you for doing well on her own and “completing all hygiene cares herself with no help at all.”

You realise there has been a misinterpretation of your praise for Helena and move closer towards Helena, leaning over her and facing her, saying loudly: “No I didn’t Helena, you have that mixed up. I was just praising you for being very good on your own, not needing my help.” With that, Helena’s son stands up, moves closer to you and states loudly, “Don’t speak to my mother like that! She is not deaf and that was very rude the way you spoke to her just now.” You step back from the son quickly, startled by his close presence and then again turn to speak to Helena. “Sorry Helena but you need to tell your family the truth that I didn’t say you were going home. You have misunderstood that my praise of you was a decision that you were going home.” As you leave the bedspace, you face Helena’s son to say, “You must not believe everything your mother says. Also, I read in Helena’s clinical chart that she does have a hearing deficit, hence why I was leaning in closer for her to see that I was talking to her and speaking more loudly for her to hear me properly.”

As you leave Helena’s room, you go to record the communication exchange in Helena’s clinical chart only to see you have confused Helena’s hearing deficit with another one of your patient’s allocated today. Helena’s hearing is normal.
