Hello this is a homework, i have to answer some questions. I'm italian, correct me plz and explain me the errors. Thanks.
1) What do you think the patient feels about the level of care that she has received?
I think that the patient didn’t feel enough assistance. (active voice) He/she had needs, he wanted to eat, to drink, to go to the toilet and he/she couldn’t do it by himself/herself. ; the patient needed assistance.
But some nurses helped him/her rarely.
If you know the gender of the patient - use he/she, in the other case it's better to use "they"
The patient thought that there was a bad assistance, no one listened to him and the nurses said that they would cоme later to him but they wouldn't.
The patient felt ignored.
The patient think that he was assisted very bad; he thinks that there was a low level of assistance.
2)What changes would you make to the way the patient went to the toilet? (4 marks)
The patient had a fall so he couldn’t go by himself to the toilet, he needed help. The thing is (maybe) that the nurses had to listen to him and they had to help him to go to the toilet in order to feel better.
3) What would you have differently about the way the patient was fed and watered? (3 marks)
The patient couldn’t eat because of his hands' shaking. The nurses had to help him to eat by feeding him personally in order to avoid getting dirty or burning himself.
Bathing the patient was necessary, he was dirty but it could’ve been avoided helping the patient was also necessary to help the patient to go to the toilet. (if I understood correctly)
4)Would it have been possible to prevent the patient getting pressure ulcers? (2 marks)
Of course. Pressure ulcers need prevention, this can be prevented by putting pillows under the points which are the most vulnerable .
For example, it is also important to take care of the patient every 2 hours, to clean skin and an to feed him appropriately with adeguate quantity of proteins, vitamin, carbohydrate etc.
So to prevent to get pressure ulcers is necessary a good assistance. (I didn't understand, sorry) but it would better to say: to prevent .... a good assistance is necessary.
