This assignment presents a nursing reflection on a clinical incident in a geriatric ward, utilizing Borton's reflective model. The reflection centers around a situation involving a dementia patient and the potential application of restraints for feeding. The student nurse describes the incident, including the patient's agitation, the nurses' initial approach, and the student's intervention. The reflection delves into the ethical implications of restraint use, the importance of patient-centered care, and adherence to nursing standards. The analysis considers the 'what, so what, and now what' of the incident, exploring the student's feelings, the ethical dilemmas, and potential improvements in practice. The student nurse reflects on the consequences of restraint application, the role of compassion and empathy, and the importance of training and knowledge in providing optimal care. The reflection also references relevant literature to support arguments and recommendations for future practice, including the need for alternative interventions and adherence to ethical guidelines.
