Mr. James Warden,
78 Years Old

Before starting our shift, 0700 - 1500, we will get together and review the care plan of Mr. Warden. We make a plan where we pay close attention to his mood and dietary preferences and restrictions due to his diabetic condition. We will ensure all the equipment will be ready, especially the Mechanical lift and wheelchair for safety. To respect his dignity, we always address him as Mr warden as he prefers. We always make small talk about his interests to assess his mood so that we can proceed accordingly. This kind of practice will support meaningful engagement.

In between the care, we will try to encourage him to participate in his care and also give him choices by keeping in mind his physical limitations. We will pay extra attention to all the transfers from bed to wheelchair and then wheelchair to toilet. We will use a Mechanical lift and make sure two people will always be around him during the transfer to keep the transfer safe.During the bed bath, we will give him choices if he needs oral care first or after Breakfast or if he needs a full bath or a partial bed bath. We will also ask what he would like to wear to maintain his Dignity. We will communicate calmly and discuss his interests so that he feels good about his intellect. We will try not to make him aggressive as he has already been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

When we have done the complete care. We will make sure Mr. Waden is comfortable and the call bell is in his reach. We will do the documentation accurately and report any changes to the assigned nurse time to time. We will mention everything about how he feels during the day, is skin integrity and his aggressiveness and also mention the incidents in the Progressive notes. We will also fill out the flow sheet to record his ongoing consistency and quality of his person-directed care.
