Case study
Anh has been working on the orthopaedics ward of a tertiary hospital since completing her TPPP. The work has been engaging and interesting for her, although heavy at times with most of the patients being elderly and semi dependant. For the past few days however, Anh has been allocated the care of Maddie, who is quite close to her in age. Anh has found that she has really enjoyed talking with Maddie, while assisting with her ADLs, dressings and exercises. They have found that they seem to have many interests in common. Today Maddie is ready for discharge from the hospital and suggests that the 2 of them stay in contact on social media and requests Anh’s personal details to enable this to occur.
How would you decide what to do, and what would you do if you were in Anh’s position
