You are an enrolled nurse working on the rehabilitation ward.
10 days ago Mr Mohammed Salak was admitted to the general ward with Influenza A.
Today he is being transferred to the rehabilitation ward and you are now required to admit Mr Salak to the
rehabilitation ward.
You were told in a phone handover from the nurse on the general ward that Mr Salak’s past medical history
(PMHx) includes weight loss and fatigue and he is 80 years of age.
The problems/issues that you have identified on admission of Mr Salak include:
 Unsteadiness on his feet
 He has no children in Australia but has good friends in his bowling club who help him out
 He is anxious about who will care for his dog while he is in hospital
 He is from a CALD (cultural and linguistically different ) background
 He has Dysphagia
 He has not contacted his children to let them know he is in hospital.
While you are admitting Mr Mohammed Salak, he becomes short of breath.
His respiratory rate has become rapid and his oxygen saturation has decreased to less that is considered
normal.

you that she is worried about her child’s development and asks you for advice regarding this.
