Introduction
Healthcare is one of the departments which demands the executives and the service providers
with accurate and specific qualities as a minor mistake or carelessness could lead to major
consequences and results. The working of the healthcare workers is quite sensitive and it
needs to be handled with specification and according to the models and theories specified in
the department (Gettel et al. 2019). I have gained some knowledge on nursing service
through my course and the practices I did which would be presented through the use of
Borton’s Development Framework. Borton’s Development Framework provides a clear
understanding of the experience and thus, the reflection is quite specific. For providing a
detailed acknowledgement of my experience as an intern in a renowned healthcare
organisation, Borton’s Development Framework would provide specification to each of the
factors to be considered in the reflection (Erickson, 2017). The experience would be provided
with specific dates on which the incidents took place as this would help in providing a clear
understanding of the experience. The three stages in the framework, that is what happened, so
what which specifies the results of the action and now what which provides the best solution
to the issue that was faced would be presented through Borton’s Framework.

consequences that could be the outcome of minor carelessness of the nurse or of any health
care service providers.

Out of those two incidents I would explore one of them which was the major one. It was
between my internship, where an adult was involved. He was around 40-45 years of age and
he has been suffering from aesthetic asthma attack. He had diabetes’s and some other
common issues which needs to be considered while medicating a patient. He was my fifth
patient and I was being guided by the senior nurse while servicing him. My senior has been
quite accurate in her activities and she used to guide perfectly. Due to some emergency she
was on a leave for two days and this made me responsible for the patient and during those
