Scenario

Review the artefacts as required

Discuss as a team the plan of action for the care of Mr White ahead of his discharge home in five days.

Indicate to your facilitator when you have completed the task should you complete in less than the 20 minutes allocated To do this you will be required to use the skills specific to your discipline and your skills and knowledge of interprofessional teamwork.

Mr Richard White is 54 years old and has lived alone for the last 10 years since his divorce from his wife.

Richard has had Type 1 Diabetes since he was 28 and has a history of poor self-management including non-attendance at clinics and poor compliance.

Since the time of his divorce he has suffered from depression and this now seems to be a chronic condition. As a result of this he has been unable to maintain full employment although he ‘likes to work'.

Two years ago Richard developed a small ulcer on his right foot near his heel. This grew larger in size and resulted in a short period as an in-patient in hospital during which time his Diabetic status was reassessed.

Some small changes were implemented as well as helping him to understand some of the processes of self-management. Richard was referred to the Diabetes Management Clinic and to Podiatric services. Unfortunately he has attended each clinic once only.

Two weeks ago Richard was readmitted to hospital with a worsening of the condition of his foot. Following successful but ongoing treatment, the condition of his foot has improved enough that he is no longer required to be in hospital. Whilst an inpatient a number of symptoms associated with prostate cancer were noted and, following investigation, he has now been diagnosed with locally invasive prostate cancer.

Richard has agreed to undergo radical prostatectomy, followed by a course of external beam radiotherapy. He is to be readmitted to hospital in three weeks' time for his surgery.

At a recent case meeting a suggestion from his GP to have his care more community focussed was discussed. However, which members of the nursing and allied health care professional team would become involved was still to be agreed.
