Holistic, Person-Centered Plan of Care

Keep in mind the interrelationship of individuals and their environment as you work with avatar patient Gordon Brune. You are taking the role of a nurse at Neighborhood Clinic, a community health center. As Mr. Brune explains the purpose of his visit and details of his current living situation, consider the challenge of gaining an understanding of his personality and gauging the impact of what he describes in determining your recommendations for how best to support his health from a holistic perspective. 

The aim of this avatar experience is to provide a patient interaction that is as realistic as possible. If Gordon Brune reminds you of patients you have had, draw on that connection. But equally important, make this Competency Assessment, with its requirement to consider more than Gordon Brune’s physical condition, an opportunity to gain context and insight into the multiple dimensions of wellness and the role they play in a patient’s health and overall well-being. 

You will begin and end the scenario with the avatar clinic director Asha Gill. Consider her goals for person-centered holistic care at Neighborhood Clinic and the kinds of support you would look for from a supervisor to meet those goals.

To prepare:

· Access the Holistic, Person-Centered Plan of Care template document. You will complete the template to submit for this Competency Assessment. Review what you are required to provide about avatar patient Gordon Brune, your recommendations for him, and other analysis that supports person-centered holistic care. 

· View the asynchronous scenario with avatar Gordon Brune as many times as you need to prepare for and complete this Competency Assessment. Consider challenges Mr. Brune describes in one or more of the dimensions of wellness—emotional, physical, intellectual, occupational, spiritual, and/or social. 

· Draw on your understanding of a holistic approach to patient care. Identify impacts that Gordon Brune is experiencing in various dimensions of wellness. 

· Consider what a holistic care plan would include for this patient. Reflect on ethical principles as a professional nurse in addressing the patient’s health needs.

· Base your plan of care on the specific information that Mr. Brune provides in the media resource, other Learning Resources, and other resources you identify.

To complete the Assignment:

· Use the Holistic, Person-Centered Plan of Care template document to present your analysis from the Mursion experience with avatar patient Gordon Brune. Your document should be 3–4 pages plus a reference page. You should include the following:
