2NURSING ASSIGNMENTIntroduction The current chapter focuses on the concept clinical reasoning cycle and its application forthe care and supervision of the ones seeking health care services. The clinical reasoning cyclecould be divided into a number of components such as considering the present clinical conditionof the patient, collecting cues and information regarding the patient health , processing thehealth information of the patient for relating with specific health concerns, identification of thedominant health issues or problems, setting up of a smart objective for achievement of the goals,development of nursing intervention or strategies, evaluating the outcomes and then reflectingupon the whole process.For the present assignment, the case study of an 87 year old Mr. Ratin Bhai had beenhighlighted. Mr. Ratin Bhai had been living alone in a two storeyed house after the death of hiswife and had been suffering from Parkinson’s and hypothyroidism since the last four years.Though his hypothyroidism has been under control, the symptoms of Parkinson’s seemed to begetting worse with the patient experiencing tremors in both his hands. The unstable movementshad made performing Activities of Daily Life (ADL) difficult for him. For the currentassignment fall risk management has been taken as one of the major nursing priorities and theclinical reasoning cycle applied for assessment and controlling of the same.Consider the patient In the present context, the patient had been suffering from advanced stage of Parkinson’sand hypothyroidism which had been detected four4 years ago.

3NURSING ASSIGNMENTdifficult for the patient such as cooking, making himself a cup of coffee, tying of his shoelaces.The increased tremors experienced also affect the ability to move independently of the patient(Baars et al. 2014). The patient had already experienced fall a number of times when getting upfrom a chair, during taking of a shower and feels an increased tendency to fall. As commented byHam et al. (2014), inability to perform the daily life activities owing to disabilities can result inthe development of depressive behaviour in an individual.Collection of cues/informationThe current literature present the case history of Mr. Ratin Bhai who had been sufferingfrom adverse health issues such as Parkinson’s and hypothyroidism. Mr. Ratin had been livingon a two storeyed house alone after the death of his wife. Moreover, due to the increased tremorshe had been experiencing in both his hands owing to Parkinson’s, managing the daily lifeactivities had become increasingly difficult for him. Additionally, Mr. Ratin being an introvertin nature likes to keep up to himself and does not approve of escalating his problems to hisbrother and his family living close by. Therefore, his social isolation can subject him to increasedrisk of depression (Hiorth et al. 2014). The patient had also been suffering from decreased level of BMI, which could beattributed to the presence of hypothyroidism. The patient also has a very small source of incomefunded by his self managed superannuation. Therefore, managing the medications forParkinson’s becomes a difficult thing for him. As commented by Johnson & Chang (2014), theannual charge of Parkinson’s management is almost 10 billion Australian dollars and a sharpincrease of 42 % in the burden of the disease in noted every year (de Bock et al.2016). Mr. Ratin
