Health Promotion – Catheter Care

1. Provide a brief introduction about catheters, why they are used and the importance of patients understanding how to look after catheters once returned home.
2. Reflect on the role of the nurse in promoting health and well-being. Include health promotion theory or models to support the reflection which follows Gibbs reflective model as a template to structure the reflection.

What you might want to think about including in your reflection:
Briefly introduce your reflection by describing a situation that you were involved in/or what you observed with regards to the nurse’s (your) role and responsibilities in promoting health and well-being. You need to be able to demonstrate what you have learned to advance your knowledge and skills during this placement that will inform your future practice.
You may want to think about what your role was in this situation – you can consider physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of care depending upon the needs of the patient and how you assessed these needs. Did you use a recognised model of health promotion?
