Scenario
Rudolf Sing is 83-year-old man DOB 6/3/1938 who lives on his own in his house in Ainslie after his wife Hilda died 18 months ago. He has been independent and has been very active throughout his life. He worked on the Snowy Hydro project after immigrating to Australia from Austria in the 1960’s. Rudolf has 4 living adult children and his 5th child a daughter, died at the age of 7 months. None of his children live in Canberra, in fact two live internationally, one in Sydney and the other in Darwin.
A neighbor Jen,  visits Rudolf and is concerned. He looks pale and has lost weight as he has lost his appetite. He has stopped leaving the house and hasn’t had a shower for a while. He is tired all the time as he can’t sleep at night.
You are the student nurse working with a community nurse who has been visiting Rudolf. The reason for your visits up until now, has been to dress a skin tear on his right leg. You have visited for the past 5 days to do his dressing. This was the last visit currently scheduled for Rudolf.  When you arrive, the Jen, the neighbor takes you and the registered nurse aside and tells you about her concerns.
 

In your audio-visual presentation, you are asked to;
Identify 5 cues of concern that you have observed as a nursing student and explain the reasons for your concern.
Demonstrate asking Rudolf a series of up to 10 questions to gather more information and expand your assessment to investigate your concerns. The questions will demonstrate a therapeutic person-centred approach to your patient interview.
Informed by your analysis of the clinical scenario (written case and video) what relevant assessments may be within the scope of the nursing student (supported by the Community RN) to undertake in the home environment. Provide a rationale for your recommendations.
Along with your video submission, please upload a copy of your list of patient interview questions that you asked Rudolf. Include at least 5 peer reviewed sources of evidence to support the patient assessment interview questions that you asked Rudolf as well as the assessment tools you would consider.
