INTRODUCTION
Broadening perspective is defined as a progressive mindset which is always wide-open to
grasp some theories and ideologies which are outside gathered truths and concepts (Hallgren and
et.al., 2016). People having narrow mind may not look into the subject from several viewpoints
but individual who has broad perception has emerging ideas which help in achieving any defined
task in more easier and innovative way. Risk management has been defined as a practice which
are being taken for determining the risk priorly so that the potentiality of such risk may be
evaluated and future precautions may be adopted for lowering the risk (Alam, 2016). This
management involves the nurses to be highly organised and they should realise certain impacts
and opportunities which may be utilised effectively in risk management (Leifheit-Limson and
et.al., 2015). The report is based on a case study which focus on Ms. X who has been diagnosed
from hip fracture. The report will focus on discussing Discroll's reflective model for
understanding the risk management practice in specified women.
MAIN BODY
The essay is based on case study of Mr. X, the women states that while driving from
office to home she slipped on ice while buying some groceries for home. She reports that her
right hip is in very pain since the incident and she can not bear weight. Although, she has no past
of such pain. She is an independent lady who lives with her child on her own. The medical
history of subject includes hypertension and mild heart problem. During physical check up of
right hip it was seen to be shortened and hard. The skin over thigh has no abrasion but her
constant complaint for pain confirms that she may have some major issue. After conducting a X
ray it was clear that she has a hip fracture which is severe and must be treated as soon as
possible. The patient after evaluation has given some medicine which must be taken on time for
treating such problems. She is having problem in leading her life happily due to high pain,
irrespective of such condition she is not complying with her medicine.
The risk from above case study has to be managed by nursing staff in respect to make
condition of subject stabilised (Klingner, Llorens and, Nalbandian, 2015). I have assigned for
undergoing such task in most effective way. For conducting such task I have utilised Discroll's
reflective model. As per my opinion, reflective practices have been determined as one of the key
ways through which the learning can be promoted through experiences. My experiences are
