mesothelioma that has spread to his hips, spinal column and brain. He has been admitted to
the health facility where you work. Mr Weber lives with Hepatitis B, he is at the end stages

and nursing care. Mr Weber is non-verbal in his communication and occasionally swings out
during routine nursing interventions. He has hit nursing staff in the past. Some of your
nursing colleagues have suggested his hands be restrained to prevent him from hitting the
staff.
Mr Weber is physically frail, has muscle wasting and bony prominences. The skin over his
hip and scapula region became reddened and then began to break down from the pressure
of his body against the linen and mattress.
Mr Weber care plan directs staff to turn Mr Weber every 2 hours. However, because he
cries out from so much pain, nursing staff are wondering if they are really helping him with
routine nursing interventions. Mr Webber’s sister complains to you about her brothers care
and believes that the palliative care unit is not delivering care that meets his needs after he
was given an overdose of medications.
