Chapter 1, Problem 5RP
Summary Introduction

Case summary:

Person X is working as a nurse in the oncology unit (during her nursing school). Person X met Person RP who was 38 years old and suffering from metastatic colon cancer. This Person RP underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatment. The condition of the person was so poor with a weak body and who was malnourished.

In addition to this, he was undergoing numerous intravenous treatments. He had ulcer and colostomy, and he needed special care. The orientation received by Person X was brief due to short staffing.

Person X was in the night shift, and the other nurse was asked to care and perform several tasks for Person RP. Person X had to perform the tasks even though she was unfamiliar with few tasks because other nurses were preoccupied and she had to help them. Person X had to face 2 difficulties by performing them on her own; she could put the patient at risk and intimate the license of the nurses.

Characters in the case:

  • Person RP: The patient
  • Person X: The nurse (student)
  • Nurse

To discuss: The important information that must be present in Person RP’s electronic records.
