The nursing student on the level II ICU is assigned to care for a middle-aged male patient Mr. R. The patient has a history of long-term resident in the hospital due to his extensive medical history like, paraplegia, several surgeries, gunshot wounds, and bilateral amputations. During his stay in the hospital the staffs know him for his manipulative difficult behavior. The student nurse cared for him after a post-operative surgery for urinary diversion. The patient is assigned at NPO for the next two to three days and the patient is hungry and demand food and fluids from the student nurse. The student really do not know much why the patient is kept under NPO after surgery. The student explains that his bowel is affected by anesthesia and cannot intake food. The patient is not happy with the explanation and sits with a lunch tray by demanding to other nurses when the student nurse returned from the lunch break.
Explanation of Solution
The student should have told the patient that she still does not have knowledge regarding the NPO status. The student nurse should also ensure that she will consult the information with other senior nurses or physician and get back to him soon. The student nurse knows that the patient safety should be compromised and it is better to get consultation from other health care providers.
