This is a reflective essay involving a safeguarding issue witnessed while on placement. So the safeguarding issue was regarding an 88years old lady living in a nursing home had repeated fall over the last two months
Current hospital admission was her having pneumothorax air in the lungs and the doctors believed that this was due to her repeated falls and not a new fracture
So a safeguarding issue was raised against the nursing home ( neglect of duty) because no proper assessment was done for her, no fall care assessment, she was not referred to any doctor or medication review
Driscoll model of reflection should be used and also policies on safeguarding, the care act should also be used
