1REFLECTION WITH TANNER’S MODELSThe nursing and midwifery board of Australia called NMBA has provided guideline ofstandard for effective nursing practices. This care ensures that the nurses provide interventionswhich are preventive, curative, formative, restorative, supporting as well as have differentpalliative element (Fisher 2017). Out of the different standards, the two which could be used inthis assignment are standard 2 and standard 4 which states that Nurses should comprehensivelyconduct assessment. This assignment will be mainly based on a reflective Framework providedby Tanner which would help in systematic proceedings with the different steps of reflection. Thiswould help me to reflect the experiences in details and thereby derive knowledge from them.The first step of Tanner’s reflective model of clinical judgment states description of thebackground of the experience of the nurse. During my internship phase, I experienced anincident where an old patient of an Asian background was admitted and was not a believer ofWestern mode of treatment. She mainly believed in spiritual healing and considered Ayurveda asthe most beneficial treatment. She was suffering from diabetes type 2 and was obese. She wasalso a patient of Arthritis and had restricted mobility. She had faced racism during her youngeryears in the nation for which she had become why restrictive and adamant in her approachestowards Australian. She did not want to stay in the hospital but due to the request of her son anddaughter in law, she decided to get admitted. I noticed that she was not cooperating with me as she was not being able to rely on meand on Western education. The racism that she faced in her younger days were restricting her(Birks e al. 2016). She was quite concerned that whether I would be able to follow her culturaltraditions. She was not being cooperative and for this reason I was not being able to either start

From the entire incident, I noticed that thepatient might have gone through several unexpected and tragic events with Australians in heryester years. For this, she has suffered both mentally and physically. I also realized that thisnegative feeling would affect the relationship that needs to be developed between me and thepatient for effective treatment. Therefore, it was very important for me to develop a therapeuticrelationship with her so that I can gain her trust (Scanlon et al. 2016). Developing trust is veryimportant as this would make the patient feel mentally stable and she would co-ordinate and helpme with the interventions. I also noticed that she is quite concerned about her cultural traditionsand preferences and therefore she is quite concerned about her treatment methods. Therefore inmy treatment methods I have to be very careful so that I do not hurt her emotions about hercultural traditions (Sivaraman and Green 2015).At first I tried to cool her down by telling her that the Australian in the early years wereinsensitive. However with the passing of years the Australians have taken all as their ownbrothers and sisters. Making her feel comfortable was my primary aim and counseling her abouther perceptions about the Australian was extremely necessary to develop trust in me as well asthe western Healthcare system. My procedure of listening her every experience with concernand concentration made her feel respected and important and she gradually started relying on me(Cashin et al. 2015). I was gradually being able to develop a relationship where she was able toconfide in me and was following my advices properly. I also educated her about the recentadvancements that the Western Healthcare system had made which made her quite amazed. Atthe same time I also told of the benefits of Ayurveda which made her feel that I also respected
