Mr Jock Jagger, a 67-year-old male has been transferred from the
Emergency Department to the Medical ward. His wife brought him in
to hospital from home as she no longer felt comfortable managing
her husband’s increasing back pain and was worried about
malnutrition as Jock had not eaten for two days. On admission to
the ward the clinical manifestations were: • Pain score 6/10 • Mild
restlessness • Nausea • Dry mouth Mr Jagger has a history of bowel
cancer and had aggressive treatment 12 years ago. Three (3) months
ago, he noticed he was becoming increasingly lethargic, after
investigations he was diagnosed with stage 4 (metastatic) bowel
cancer and has opted for no further treatment and to focus on
managing his symptoms. Whilst examining Mr Jagger, you chat about
being cared for at home and he explains that he wishes to return
home, he agreed to come to hospital because his wife is worried
about caring for him as he continues to deteriorate. His Advanced
Care Plan does outline his wish to stay home but he does not wish
to burden his wife.
