You are taking care of a newly admitted 78 year old resident, Ms. Wong, in the low care wing of an Aged Care unit. She suffered a stroke last year resulting in right sided weakness of both her right arm and right leg. She now walks with the help of a 4 wheel frame and needs assistance with her ADLs due to the weakness of her right arm. She is a retired Registered Nurse. She has a past medical history of Type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and osteoporosis. She is currently on multiple drugs for all these conditions and is worried about forgetting to take her medications on time. When her medication was checked, it appeared that she had missed her doses on several occasions. She lives alone and has always been single. Her mother passed away 2 years ago and Ms. Wong, who was much attached to her, deteriorated both mentally and physically after the incident. Identify and discuss 3 chronic health problems faced by Ms. Wong (in 40-60 words each). Briefly discuss the problems associated with the pain management of an older person in aged care including how chronic pain might affect the person and their family/carer and their capacity to perform daily living activities (in 70-90 words). Alongside the RN, Identify what communication skills you may utilise when communicating with the client and her family/carers so that they understand the implications of her admission (in 50-70 words)? Determine the steps you would need to take in making a Nursing Care Plan (NCP) for Ms. Wong and the tools that you would use for her preventive health assessment (in 50-70 words).
