Question
You are a nursing student who is assigned to a busy medical-surgical unit that
specializes in the care of patients with diabetes related conditions. One of your
patients for the day is Ms. Martinez, a 63 year old woman who is post-operative for
an amputation of the right foot. You enter the room to conduct your morning
assessment and you find that Ms. Ncube is crying uncontrollably. She confides to
you that she feels helpless and that she does not know how she will continue to live
her life autonomously without her foot. She states that she cannot bare for herself or
anyone else to see her wound. Although you empathize with Ms. Ncube, you are
very busy today and have a limited amount of time to conduct your assessment.
