Document Summary
Looking again at last week"s narrative for re ection Tom james is an 82 year old man who su ers from mild dementia, chronic obstructive lung disease, and moderate renal failure. Tom"s wife, who visits him regularly, seems overwhelmed. His adult son and daughter are not talking with each other or their mother and visit sporadically. It is clear that tom is dying, and that everyone in the situation is distressed. The registered nurses, lpns, and care aides are distraught as they watch tom get. Always work from there : family is more of an expert with that particular situation, than any of the specialists on the team, any plan to be enacted by the team must account for the family. Collaborative checkpoint 1. 1: relate to the emotion, not the trigger. Make it safe for people to express their emotions must get that out in a safe manner, before you can attack logical strategy.
