Case Study
The Fact Sheet outlines the process of consumer choice for residents and the issues and concerns with undertaking risk behaviours. The Fact Sheet is clear about choice but also clear about the registered nurse’s duty of care to residents at mealtimes. The example of Vince is provided: Vince has been eating softer texture food for a few months, which started when he was in hospital. He is losing weight and rarely eats a whole meal.
A dietitian review identifies that Vince who is not happy at all with his current food and gets no pleasure from meals. He is not eating enough to maintain his nutrition or his weight. A speech pathologist reviews Vince’s swallowing and discusses the risks and hazards of food aspiration, and choking should he eat regular meals. The speech pathologist also discusses his options. Vince decides he would like to try going back to regular food and is aware that this has some risks. He wants to ‘give it a go’. Vince goes back to eating a few specific preferred meals in the dining room. He eats more, gains weight and is much happier with his quality of life. He coughs sometimes while eating but so far does not find this too uncomfortable and is being monitored closely for any impacts on his health by his GP.

3. Discuss why informed choice is important for seniors living in residential care? What are the challenges of informed choice for the registered nurse in providing appropriate cares safely?
