I spent 40 minutes with Bertha, discussing clinical community nursing with her. Bertha and I discussed Diabetes Type 1 and 2 and the areas to check on for the care of the Diabetic patient. Bertha was able to recall the needs of the DM patient- handwashing, checking for blood glucose levels and how to manage a hypo/hyperglycaemic attack. I reminded Bertha that foot care of the diabetic patient is critical and discussed the reasons for this- peripheral neuropathy, that the diabetic patient is more perceptible to infection due to more circulatory glucose, and that feet and footwear should be checked as often as possible. We also talked about using a mirror to study under and behind feet for wound sites that may not be obvious. I asked Bertha to reflect on what she had learnt during the session by asking her questions, which she could answer. We also looked at how to find evidence for clinical activity through the library at UoR.
