Purpose
Three Patients I would choose
Patient 1: Alex Abraham
Patient’s details
The reason I choose the patient
Nurses have to maintain different values and the beliefs during the treatment of
patients. Attitudes, assumptions and mindset of patient can influence nurses’
behaviours. Decision making in relation and impact of judgement are important for
evaluating patients’ conditions. After observing different case studies the professional
career of a nurse will develop in a better way. Transformational learning is one of the
process of constructive and deep meaningful learning that will help a person not only
theoretically but also by acquisition and support them in practical field. The
assignment will show introspection and the proper analysis of case studies by
improving their own beliefs and promotion of transformational learning (Melrose,
Park, and Perry, 2013).
Alex Abraham is a 42-year-old man who was
diagnosed with type 2 diabetes recently. He
works out of the town for 12 hours shift and has
to stay away from home for two weeks. He is
married and has two children. He has difficulties
to accept the diagnosis.
Figure 1
Mr Alex is chosen as I have experiences in treating
diabetic patients. The present condition of Mr Alex
can be managed with the support of patient’s family
and my knowledge. The self-management of
diabetes can avoid long-term health difficulties but is
often complex and hard to accomplish. Patient’s
autonomy for managing their diabetes is more
effective for self-care and glycaemic control.

surgery. They might be anxious that they cannot get better care
due to their LGBTQ status and ethical differences.
