Assessment 2 Details: Written Essay

The following information is to be used for this assessment:

Amy works as the Practice Nurse in her local General Practitioners (GP) clinic. On Monday, Emilio, who is one of the patients at the clinic, arrives for his annual check-up of his blood pressure. Emilio looks rather dishevelled, has his head down, is observed to wipe tears away.

Amy calls Emilio in for his consultation with her. Emilio advises Amy that his partner of twenty years recently passed away and he feels very upset every day. He has not eaten properly since his partner passed away and his house is unkempt. He has not returned to work as he feels too upset to socialise at the moment.

Amy listens attentively and with empathy. She attends to Emilios blood pressure, which is within normal limits for his age. She then asks if she could talk further with him about the grief he has just discussed. Emilio agrees.

Luckily, Amy recently attended a professional development seminar on supporting clients during grief and she identified appropriate community supports for such circumstances. She had also read some research based articles about how nurses can assist clients when they are grieving. Amy provides Emilio with information on local community resources available to assist him, including nutritious ready-made meals, a cleaning service and community activities. She asks Emilio if he thinks some of this information and these resources would be appropriate and practical for him. Emilio agrees that these supports may help him during this difficult time.

At the end of the consultation, Amy requests Emilio to return in two weeks time to discuss his progress and his wellbeing. Amy asks if Emilio minds if she shares information of this consultation with the practice GP, by documenting in his clinical notes. Emilio agrees to this. Emilio takes the resources, thanks Amy and re-books an appointment for two weeks time.

Using the above information, address the following in a formal academic essay:

With reference to Principle 2 of theCode of Conduct for Nurses(Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, 2022), describe how Amy provided person-centred care for Emilio.
