My Second Week Of Placement Essay - 964 Words

Description: During my second week of placement, I was working under the supervision of my preceptor, caring for a fifty four year old Samoan gentlemen, Mr.Li (pseudonym). When we went to his place in Mt. Albert at around 11am, he was sitting on the chair and his wife was sitting beside him. Mr Li had left leg ulcer and he developed this in February 2016, when he went to Samoa. According to Mr. Li, it started off with a blister and lead to left leg cellulitis. Mrs.Li (pseudonym) told us that when Mr.Li went for swimming in the beach during his stay in Samoa and he knocked his left big toe. Mr.Li s big left toe got infected and doctor’s informed them, this is how his left leg cellulitis started. Mr. Li has multiple medical problems such as insulin dependent diabetes, hypertension, gout and retinopathy. Mr.Li had a couple of hospital admission due to his left leg cellulitis. He mentioned that during his hospitalisation his blood pressure was on higher side. Mr Li is on medication for his hypertension. He is on amlodipine and cilazapril. To control his BSL (blood sugar level) he is on insulin and metformin. On our first visit Mr.Li was not showing any insight about his medical conditions. He seemed less interested of what’s going on with his leg. Although he had poor insight, we did advise him about his health, especially to regularly monitor his blood sugar level and blood pressure. Mr.Li had no records of his BSL readings. On the second day we visited him again.
