 THE CORE CIRCLE

Hall says, “ “To look at and listen to self is often too difficult without the help of a
significant figure (nurturer) who has learned how to hold up a mirror and sounding
board to invite the behavior to look and listen to himself. If he accepts the
invitation, he will explore the concerns in his acts. As he listens to his exploration
through the reflection of the nurse, he may uncover in sequence his difficulties, the
problem area, his problem, and eventually the threat which is dictating his out-of-
control behavior.”

MEDICINAL Application of medical knowledge by nurses

(Disease)
 CASE 1

John is diagnosed with severe diarrhea. He stays in the

hospital until the doctor clears him. Jane, a nurse, assists
him whenever he needs to defecate. Jane always reminds
him to drink his medications. She asked his thoughts on the
food that might be causing his condition. John immediately
thought of the beef his neighbor gave him. It reeked, but he
still ate it because his neighbor insisted.
 CASE 2

Ella was rushed to the emergency room because she

accidentally cut her finger while preparing for dinner. The nurse
immediately tamponade the wound and paged the doctor. The
doctor treated and sewed the cut. The nurse talked to Ella
about what happened, and she realized that she should be
more careful next time.
 CASE 3

Ben, a nurse, has a sister, Jema, who has type 2 diabetes. He

checks her blood sugar and helps her avoid sugary foods. Ben
tells Jema that he’s always beside her. She can talk to him
anytime and tell him honestly about the problems she is
experiencing. To become healthy and reduce the effects of
her condition, Jema starts to exercise, and Ben joins her every
day.
 CASE 4

Kelly is experiencing a toothache. She went to the dentist,

and the dentist thought that she should remove her wisdom
tooth. While waiting for the procedure, the nurse talked to
her. They discussed why it was necessary to remove her
tooth. Kelly believed the advice of the nurse.
 CASE 5

Omar was involved in a car accident in which he experienced right arm

and right leg injuries. Fortunately, there was no concern about possible
internal injuries. He needs minor assistance with dressing, and the nurse
helps and supports him. The required surgery has been completed for his
right arm and foot. He is now in physical therapy to deal with the effects of
the accident and his recent immobility. However, he is anxious about the
effects of his injury. He thinks it might be difficult for him to do classroom
activities because of his condition, so he told his situation to his nurse.
Omar is on his 3rd postoperative day and is complaining of being “so
tired” during body strength exercises. His vital sign is also within the
baseline.
