NUR312 Assessment Task 2: Reflection on Nursing Life Crisis Case Study

This report presents a reflection on a nursing life crisis case study, focusing on the experiences of a palliative care nurse and the care provided to an Indigenous Australian patient. The case study explores the patient's experience with chronic bronchitis and subsequent complications, including adverse drug reactions and perceived negligence, which led to breaches of social justice principles such as equity and rights. The report analyzes the outcomes of the crisis, highlighting the impact of cultural insensitivity and communication barriers. It then proposes a revised approach to patient care, emphasizing cultural awareness, patient advocacy, and adherence to NMBA practice standards. The reflection demonstrates the nurse's learning and development in providing culturally safe and equitable care, aiming to improve patient outcomes and uphold professional ethical standards. The report provides insights into the importance of social justice principles in nursing practice and offers strategies for improving patient care in similar life crisis situations.
