You are a nursing student who is assigned to a busy
medical-surgical unit that specializes in the care of patients with
diabetes related conditions. One of your patients for the day is
Ms. Martinez, a 63 year old woman who is post-operative for an
amputation of the right foot. You enter the room to conduct
your morning assessment and you find that Ms. Ncube is crying
uncontrollably. She confides to you that she feels helpless and
that she does not know how she will continue to live her life
autonomously without her foot. She states that she cannot bare for
herself or anyone else to see her wound. Although you empathize
with Ms. Ncube, you are very busy today and have a limited amount
of time to conduct your assessment.
