Descriptions I have written a reflective account details my experiences in teaching a new patient in dialysis to care for his dialysis access (AVF), maintaining her potassium and phosphate diet to an acceptable range for chronic kidney disease patient. The patient is young, working, well educated and speak English very well. He is very interested to learn, to care of his dialysis access (AVF). Furthermore, I completed my teaching using observation and also checking his lab work every month. At some point, he is reluctant to engage with my teaching, especially if I mention about diet restriction which is high in potassium and phosphate.
I conducted the assessment with my mentor and gave a rational explanation on care for dialysis access AVF …show more content…
The patient is not aware about the risk of not following his diet restrictions properly.
I failed to develop the partnership more and relied on my mentor and the dietitian too much when I conversed with his care. I was looking for affirmation which was lacking in me. If I had communicated how significant the carer’s role was, this would have helped me to empower the patient and overcome the situation easily.
Crawford et al (2005) believes empowerment inspires the self determination of others, while Fowler et al (2007) identifies listening aptitudes and the encouragement in the participation of care persuades medical attendants to effectively bolster changes in patient care. Entwistle and Watt 2007 reminds practitioners that participation requires relational abilities that are not generally ha so nature must be adaptable in their way to deal with champion the participation of others.

I will figure out how to distinguish the need of every patient by understanding their knowledge and acknowledgement of their wellbeing condition. I will disperse this to peers, as the sharing of learning is a fundamental part of nursing care. As I developed from direct members to take part in care delivery I will continue to learn and read research and reflect my practice in daily basis. Creating a new action plan that identified my learning necessities will address my limitation of knowledge, I will produce achievable objectives to become more competent
