1NURSING CARE
Introduction
The thesis statement of this essay is the discussion about the various experiences of
the nurses while partnering for the care of a patient when they are receiving the treatment.
The chosen case scenario in this essay is that of a 40 year old male who examines the patient
experience and the partnering in care of the patients. The main theories that will be used in
the essay in order to analyze the patient experience and the aim to enhance the experience of
care among the families of the patients are the theory of intimacy that is reflected by the
relationship centered care and the patient centered care (Brinkman, Rietjens & van der,
2014). The essay will thus discuss the various theories that affects the partnering the
treatment process along with the analysis of the present scenario and that is related to the
patient treatment and the partnering of patient carein the patients who are chronically ill.
Discussion
Relevant Theories
The practice nurses are able to manage the care of the patients who are suffering from
chronic illnesses such as diabetes, by undertaking the health assessments for the children and
the older people, by wound dressing, by doing the pap smears and also by advising the
patients about the lifestyle changes that they can undertake in orderto accelerate their health.
(Wachterman et al., 2016). If the nurses are not familiar with these set of skills, they have to
learn these skills by further education in a large number of ways. The improvement in the
information technology in the general practices of the healthcare can help the nurses to widen
their skills and knowledge about the shared caring of patients. Palliative care is a treatment
that is provided to the patient with the goal to increase the quality of life for them. It involves
the management of the physical signs such as emotional, spiritual along with social care,
psychological support including support from the friends and family(Schell et al., 2016).

Thus, one of the main theory in the application of the shared patient treatment is the
relationship centered care.Relationship-centered care (RCC) is a very important framework
for the conceptualization of health care, the recognition of the quality and nature of the
relationships that are integral to the health care as well as the wider health care system.The
next theory that is applicable to the shared way of treating the patient among the nurses is
patient centered care is the practice of providing care for the patients and their families in a
way that is valuable and meaningful to the specific patient. This involves informing the
patient, listening and involving the patient in their care. There are eight main principles for
the patient centered care approach that are respecting the preferences of the patients,
coordination and the integration of care, emotional support, physical comfort to the patient,
involvement of friends and family, education and information, transition and continuity and
finally proper access to care (Morhaim & Pollack, 2013).
Analysis of case scenario
The case scenario discusses about the various aspects of the patient experiences and
care that are related to the shared way of patient treatment. There are a number of patient
experiences that can be related to the patient centered care and relationship centered care as it
is very intricately related to the patient care and the aim to improve the quality of care
(Caswell et al., 2015). The ineffective care that is being provided to the patient in the scenario
involves the lack of communication between the patient and the nurses. Along with this the
patient also does not listen to the advice given by the physiotherapist regarding the exercise,
diet and medications. This leads to problems in the line of treatment and can affect the
diagnosis of the patient. The pattern that is required for the regulation and integration of
treatment of the disease and the sequelae of the disease into the daily living work is
unsatisfactory for the meeting of certain health goals (Kelley & Morrison, 2015).
