INTRODUCTION
Palliative gold standard is defined as the framework which enables good level of practice
that an practitioner should have to treat all those people who are nearing the end of their life. The
main motive of this framework was to develop the concept that how patient can be treated well
in this final stage of life (Milnes and et. al., 2019). Complex care is one of those situation where
patient must be treated in different manner as special guidance is required in it. In this project,
the main focus will be on disability that how does affect the life. There will be detail discussion
on the role and and responsibility of nurses that how they are required to work. Even discussion
will on some of the points that what are those essential areas where doctor and nurses need to
give special focus so that patient can feel better. The chosen model in this project to express

every point in detail is Model of Reflection by Bound et. Al 1985 and further points added by
Johns 1995.
MAIN BODY
Scenario
James cook was admitted to hospital who fall into the accident on national highway. It
was one of the case where lots of complication were found as blood had covered most of the
body part of the patient. Here, doctor took the step to save his life but as infection on leg has
spread in high amount so doctor was required to cut his both the legs and he had to spend his rest
of the life without legs. Now, patient requires one of the nurse or doctor who can take his care
for the rest of life.
Stage 1: Return to experience
I am in the field of health care since last five and trying my best to deliver the best
services to the patient who comes within the premises of hospital. I my short period of time I
have solved number of cases but still I have found that various cases are there which need to be
solved. Among all those cases I got one of those case were James Cook was fine and capable of
doing his all of the work. He was just 43 years old and had some of the medical issues such as he
was the patient of diabetes (first stage) due to which any of the injury which occurs take
additional period of time to cure. As, James is the patient of diabetes he requires all those
treatment and medicines which do not contain the quantity of sugar. Patient of sugar are quite
slow recoverer due to which they requires additional health care facilities and even it is
important that doctor must prescribe those treatment which are helpful for his personal recovery.
Here, James is suffering from serious issues in his life as he is suffering from the problem
of diabetes which is mostly not cured for the rest of life from the day its symptoms are found.
Even he fall into the accident where his both leg were required cut down which show that it is
one of the life long medical issues which he have suffer in his rest of the life (Noppe, Veen and
Mooren, 2018). When it comes to current medication he is required to take medicines of diabetes
and all those medicines which has been prescribed by doctor. Here, James requires additional
person who take his care for the rest of his life because he will not be able to do most of the work
by himself as he lives alone. While talking about past medical history, he is one of the patient
who have suffered from minor heart attack at the age of 38 years and need need take only healthy
