1PATIENT INTERVIEWIntroduction: The clinical reasoning cycle provides the nurses with the opportunity to analyze thepatient situation, collect cues of care needs, identify the care needs, process information, andidentification of care priority based on which the interventions will be provided and the nurseswill also be able to reflect on their own practice to understand the mistakes that they are makingand how it can be rectified (Morton, Fontaine, Hudak & Gallo, 2017). This assignment will takeassistance section 1, 2, 3 and 8 of clinical reasoning cycle in order to interview a particularelderly patient and understand their understanding healthy aging and impending death.Patient situational analysis: For this interview I had the opportunity to interact with a 89 year old patient named Hildawho is living with her husband and children in her house. Hilda is a catholic and she wassuffering from pain in the right knee and big toe in her left foot. The primary data about herrevealed that she is mobility restricted due to acute osteoarthritis and pain in the knee, and henceI decided to conduct the interview in her own house so that the environment will be comfortablefor her and she will be able to relax and participate completely in the interview procedure. WhenI approached the house she welcome to me inside with a warm smile. Her living room wasslightly cluttered and she had been walking with walking support. Hence with the primaryassessment office of her we agreed to setup the interview in the outside porch where arranged fortwo chairs in her garden setting for het to sit comfortably and began with the interview. The toolsutilized in the interview were a voice recorder to record her speech, RLT questionnaire for theinterview, patient assessment data sheet, and pen.

2PATIENT INTERVIEWCollection of cues:The next step of the critical reasoning cycle is collection of cues so that the informationcan be sorted, processed and synthesized to arrive at the most probable care needs of the patient.Hence I attempted to collect the dues and required information from Hilda as per thequestionnaire of RLT model I had taken with me. First and foremost, I attended to help Hildaunderstand the purpose of this interview and how it will help him understand the concept ofhealthy aging and whether she is following the required activities to promote healthy aging.According to the Bacsu et al. (2012), taking consent before approaching the patients with anycare activity or patient assessment is a very important aspect of healthcare law and legislations.Hence, the consenting procedure was extremely important and I made a point to help herunderstand the interview and the questionnaire crucial detail and also taken her permission torecord the entire interview in the speech recorder. Non verbal communication traits are veryimportant while conducting any interview with the older patients (Kerr, Rosenberg & Frank,2012). hence I attempted to maintain a comfortable and get professional body language whilecommunicating with the patient all the while maintaining eye contact and responding withcompassionate and empathetic phrases as she continued to share the information with me.According to the Lima, Newall, Jordan, Hamilton and Kinney (2016), while sharing their lifedetails with the healthcare staff it is very natural for the elderly patients to becomeuncomfortable and embarrassed while talking to a complete stranger. Hence I begin with sharingmy own personal details my background my educational qualifications my journey as aHealthcare provider and my personal perception of healthy life and aging. This immediatelyhelped him to become comfortable with me and helped him share her own personal details with
