1.0 Introduction
Rolfe’s Reflection Model (Rolfe et.al 2001) is used in this essay.
1.1 What?
One day, while working in a special NHS medical clinic, I thought of a 65-year-old woman,
who managed Islam, for confidentiality reasons, I will call Hafeeza (NMC code, 2018). She
was admitted to an emergency clinic with systematic stability, which left her tendency for
the sickest and with the loss of desire. To deal with the anguish, Hafeeza had performed the
torment with tramadol hydrochloride and his legs were about to be elevated time, Hafeeza,
with the extension tools, realized that the guilty husband needed to see her. After hearing
this, Hafeeza was disturbed and told me that she would not like to see it because she had
managed it sincerely. I briefly explained the matter to the attending physician and my
spouse was prevented from seeing it. Hearing this, the spouse spiraled upright and
screamed at me. This scared me and I asked for help. This episode left Hafeezaupset and
asked for cigarettes. In response to Hafeeza's request for cigarettes, I gave her some flyers
that illuminated the symptoms of smoking. I also reminded her that she could not smoke in
the ward and that she had to go out and that she seemed to destroy it.
1.2 So what?
1.2.1 Holistic Nursing Approach
In awareness and offering assistance to Hafeeza, I was aware of the need to adopt an
inclusive strategy that saw it as a physical, passionate, social and other imperative. The need
to adopt this approach is recommended by the National Health Service for all patients who
pay little attention to bad beliefs (NHS long-term plan, 2019). As noted by Vendegodt et al
(2016), full consideration and support involves observing the patient as a whole, being
aware of the different parts of the patient's life that do not is not limited to direct
treatment. Jasemi et. al (2017) argue that global consideration drives pharmaceutical
service providers to understand the patient and its various needs. This approach affects the
general performance a patient receives from human services because it encourages him to

3
take responsibility for his social insurance (Ernst, 2007). The whole approach needs to be
seen in terms of patients' perception of social insurance (The Health Foundation, 2016). This
means that the two problems cannot be separated in isolation because focusing on the
specific needs of the individual patient will involuntarily adopt an inclusive strategy
(Puchalski, 2013). So thinking about Hafeeza, the whole procedure involved nurture, age,
sexual orientation, strict beliefs, state of being, state of mind and individual bias.
Cultural Issues
As according to Saha et al (2010), being a type of patient's social needs that implicitly
updates care behaviors in this way improves the nature of care, reducing opportunistic
thinking and evening differences. outdoors. To be socially qualified, it is intended to have an
option to maintain competent skills that require understanding, non-discrimination and
responsiveness to patients' needs (Schouler-Ocak, 2015). To hold patients in high regard,
treatment service specialists must meet their individual needs before culture and family
beliefs and to do this they must have an understanding of these problems (Swihart and
Martin, 2020). In a study conducted by Nayaranasamy (2002), knowledge of the needs of
medical caregivers included letters, end-of-life needs, religion, diet, supplication and social
practices. In another study, conducted by Mclimens et al, 2014, it was discovered that in
responding to social needs, the few medical participants found problems that identified
primarily with language needs, sexual orientation and diet. Both studies reinforced the need
for further preparation and guidance to address these needs. It is at least necessary to
understand that in the event of an emergency, social needs can be put in place to free
patients (Rassool, 2015).
Pain Assessment and Management
The fracture in Hafeeza's legs was caused by varicose veins which, according to the NHS
(2020) are shifted and enlarged on the legs. The NHS (2019) teaches, in the treatment of
fractures in the legs, to maintain the legs, in a perfect world by keeping the toes above the
buttocks. This as noted by Conlon and Martin (2002) causes an increase in blood flow to
your desired areas and can therefore reduce the pain. Likewise, she was taking tramadol
hydrochloride treatment with a dose of 50 mg at regular intervals performed by the oral
medical caregiver. This is reflected in the measures recommended by the British National

4
Formula (BNF NICE, 2020). Tramadol hydrochloride (NNF NICE, 2020) has no liqueurs, so it
was appropriate for Hafeeza who refused her religion to take alcohol or alcohol drugs. The
drug has a lot of symptoms (NHS, 2018), but Hafeeza has just suffered laziness with which I
have managed to keep the containers swept away from his bedside.
1.2.2 Compassionate and Safe Nursing Care
For the body to function properly it needs other products derived from food (Druml et al,
2016). Loss of craving can trigger disease, e.g. hunger (NHS, 2018). In England hunger is a
common problem affecting more than 3 million people (British Dieticians Association, 2020).
In addition, the result of not drinking enough is a lack of hydration. In elderly patients,
drying can trigger prolonged and subacute hospitalization (Picetti et.al, 2017).
Quantitatively, in a study by Hooper et al (2015), it was found that 20% of long-range care
residents were drying up. According to Malafarina et al (2013), the loss of craving is
generally in older people due to changes in their body physiology just like changes in their
brain research or changes in social conditions. Explorer and Robinson (2015) identified acute
diseases, unstable diseases and the use of drugs as other possible causes of seizure loss.
Hafeeza's hunger could have been lost due to his perceived hunger, social status or mature
age. In order to convince patients to eat and drink, caregivers are encouraged to present
food and drinks carefully (Royal College of Nursing, 2016). The Royal College of Nursing
(2016) also orders pharmaceutical service experts to persuade patients to eat and to
recommend them as they proceed during dinners. That's right, I kept showing and ignoring
Hafeeza's food and water a lot and convinced her to eat. Be that as it may, comfort was
provided only after checking the names to confirm that the food was changing according to
his requests and to ensure the same by the deadline.
1.2.3Dignity, Comfort, Hygiene and Mobility
Kennedy (2016) argues that it is difficult to imagine the precise meaning of the patient's
pride, but recognizes his overriding belief as the ability to persuade a patient to be
respected and respected. This is trusted with the all-encompassing approach to nursing care
just as the idea of individually focused consideration requires consideration of the patient's
feelings, feelings, beliefs, and requirements (Royal College of Nursing). This according to
Kennedy (2016) improves comfort and tolerable performance. For example, Hafeeza's strict

5
beliefs prevented her from communicating with the boys, a necessity the emergency clinic
was considering. So to save her nightmares, I would like to remind male medical service
providers that they need to talk to her about this fact.
1.2.4 Communication
Howick et al. (2016) found that the best idea for patients in treatment services contexts is
through communication. They also state that, once patients had received their best
consideration, performance improved. In order to ensure the correspondence, the meetings
they give should have similar data at the end of the communication process (McCabe,
2003). Empowering communication involves looking at an individual as an individual and
seeing the best communication strategies (Royal College of Nursing, 2016). There are
several forms of communication, for example verbal, non-verbal, made and refined (Royal
College of Nursing, 2016). Be that as it may, boundaries, for example, physical, passive, and
related barriers may impede powerful communication (Norouzinia et al, 2015). The use of
clinical language is a limitation for medical personnel who can induce deception in this
regard, and should be kept at a strategic distance from (Mooney, 2009). Actual and calm
disturbances, obvious disturbances, disorientation, lack of English education all reveal the
limits of modeling authentic letters (Royal College of Nursing, 2016). Nourizia et al (2015)
identified a lively work environment, area of interest and lack of protection as natural
barriers in the fields of social security.
1.2.5 Health promotion
A smoker can go back six or more times before stopping completely (Royal College of
Nursing, 2016). The definition of backslide can be attributed to stress (Buczkowski et al,
2014). This could be the explanation behind Hafeeza's backstory. Despite the declining
number of smokers, tobacco is killing about half of its customers despite everything
(Gollecha, 2016). Smoking also accounts for 70% of cases of malignant lung growth and
several cancers, for example inside, in the neck, in the stomach (NHS, 2018). The NHS has
decided on an activity called "Reaching the Count", whose main initiative is to improve the
well-being of individuals by urging them to change behaviors that may be unfavorable to
their well-being and the rich (NHS Health Education, 2012). Social media has proven to be
one of the best ways to get people to quit smoking in the media (Royal College of Nursing

6
2016). Like these lines, human service personnel must use patient experiences as an
opportunity to use their knowledge to prevent it (Youdan et al, 2005). This is the
explanation that I debilitated Hafeeza from smoking when she asked for a cigarette.
Professionalism
All health care professionals, maternity specialists, and medical services colleagues need to
be competent (NMC, 2018). The accrediting professionalism in the nursing and midwifery
structure highlights the four standards that help health professionals and maternity
specialists to perform the right behaviors with competence (Reed and Dix, 2018). In any
event, Tanaka (2014), finds that the modified procedure may change due to the land and
some conditions to which the medical caregivers contribute. against. In this situation my
lack of knowledge made me scream as the better half of Hafeeza approached me.
Stathopoulou (2013) suggests that when mining with patients or their families, experts from
the medical services should try to keep quiet and this may need to speak in a calm voice. He
also recommends that human service experts should refrain from speaking while the
attacker is shouting.
1.3 Now what?
Nursing has evolved over the years. The current center is to provide assistance that
addresses people's problems (Royal College of Nursing, 2016). Considering this perspective,
I was able to choose to consider most of Hafeeza's needs when I think of her. Going
forward, it is likely that I systematically assume whatever data on each patient is in my
opinion what would be expected to give the real impression.
My first opportunity was to have a group of patients and, in retrospect, I understand that
my response was not the best in that situation. When such situations arise, it is important
not to worry, be careful and pay attention to any painful behavior (Boudreaux, 2010). Crying
is a form of crying that has several unfavorable effects on patient repair, for example
triggering brain pain, vague massage and extension of the effect (Biley, 2016).
