FRAMEWORKS FOR CARE
INTRODUCTION
I have noticed nowadays that reflective practice does play a major role in the nursing field. It is not just a personal opinion as,(Teekman 2000,pg 1125-1135) states that reflective practice is becoming an essential element of nurse education as professional nursing bodies world wide are being impressed by literature on learning by reflection. It is nearly the same conclusion that is brought by Boud, Keogh and Walker(1987,pg 11) and this is proof as well that reflective practice isn't a new concept. It is so, as they traced similar ideas back to Aristoles writings on practical judgement and moral actions. Reflective practice is a system that clarifies everything. It is a simple task of noting past experience and improving on past errors
'Reflection also provides data for self-examination and increases learning from experiences' (Saylor 1990). The following essay is based upon the concept of reflection. I decided to go straight through the description of the incident and offered a list of the books I based my concept on. I thought it would be more relevant in this way.
DESCRIPTION OF INCIDENT
I was on a surgical ward for my placement. It was a new experience as it was my first time on a ward. There was a patient I was looking after. I'll call him Stephen Jordan. He had a colostomy, a surgical operation in which a part of the colon is brought through the abdominal wall and opened in order to drain or decompress the intestine. He also had a sternotomy, which is a division of the sternum, performed to allow access to the heart and its major vessel. Two days after surgery, he was brought to the ward I worked. He was very weak and could feel the most minor pain to a high level.

:
I have read this essay a few times, and I am disappointed at the standard of writing, and the quality of the material. I had to read it several times before the meaning became clear.
It is useful to have websites like this one, where students can look at material related to their subject area, to get some ideas, or an insight into what is required when writing an essay. This essay offers very little in the way of useful instruction. It lacks structure, and does not flow, and contain numerous grammatical inconsistencies. The syntax needs addressing.
It is important for members, that the quality oof material presented is useful, and relevant, so members have confidence in your service.
I would be interested to know what the grade was for this work.
