I arrived at 8am.
The nurse arrived with a full set of Rachael’s drugs that Rachael had
already had. These were sent back. Rachael had a Phosphate tablet as her salt
levels were low. The site of the driver
entry on Rachael’s arm is sore and twitchy.
Rachael asked the nurse to take a look and also get a bag from the
pharmacy for the driver machine. Nurse
N moved the driver needle further back on Rachael’s arm. Rachael refused the suggestion that the needle
be placed on her left arm or stomach.
At 10.30am Rachael suffered a bladder spasm which required
hoisting. Unfortunately it was staff
break time so Rachael decided to wait rather than hoist with only one
nurse. Rachael has been struggling with
her breathing. Nurse N was asked to
chase the Palliative care team at W hospital but nobody available until the
morning. Nurse N also forgot to order
a driver bag. She said she will do this
in the morning. Rachael’s new driver
site has become sore so it was moved to her right thigh. This needs to be monitored.
