Reference no: EM133562147

Question: Ms Nguyen is 72 years young and is a resident of SunnyCare, a residential aged care facility.

Ms Nguyen has lived at the residence for six years, and has a diagnosis of Dementia. Ms Nguyen was admitted into the medical ward of the local hospital with a diagnosis of severe community acquired pneumonia. Ms Nguyen is well known across Victoria, as she was a minister in state parliament for many years.

The next morning, after Ms Nguyen's admission, a TV reporter called the ward to find out what had happened to Ms Nguyen and how soon she would be discharged from the hospital. Raphael, the registered nurse looking after Ms Nguyen on the AM shift took the phone call. Raphael answered the reporter's questions, revealing the tests and investigations that had been carried out and that Ms Nguyen was critically unwell and slow to respond to treatment. This information was reported on the morning TV show the following day.

Later that same day, two other nurses on the ward, Mia and Sam, were discussing how much they would love to have a selfie with Ms Nguyen for their Instagram. They debated if they should go in and ask Ms Nguyen but on entering Ms Nguyen's room, they see she is fast asleep and do not want to wake her. Mia and Sam quietly positioned themselves next to Ms Nguyen and took a photo before exiting the room. They uploaded the image to their Instagram accounts and they both quickly receive lots of 'likes' and comments about the picture.
