Essay Mrs. Alice Johannsson Case Study – Nursing Assignment Help

Assignment Task:

You are working with Lisa who is an experienced registered nurse. For the past four days, you and Lisa have been caring for Mrs. Alice Johannsson, a 68-year-old woman who was admitted with pneumonia. It is obvious that Lisa is fond of Mrs Johannsson, but over the last two days Lisa has been joking with you and Mrs Johannsson that Mrs. Johannsson is Lisa’s ‘new mother’. In an instance where you were taking Mrs. Johannsson’s vital signs, you heard Lisa tell Mrs. Johannsson that her mother died last year after being unwell with breast cancer for two years. Lisa had disclosed to Mrs. Johannsson that her family had fought over her mother’s end of life care and that there were ongoing issues with her mother’s will. Lisa admits she misses her mum very much and she wishes her mother was still alive because she is lonely. You and Lisa are not caring for Mrs. Johannsson on the morning of Mrs. Johannsson’s discharge but you walk past her room and you observe Lisa giving Mrs. Johannsson a quilt and exchanging mobile numbers.
