Transcultural Nursing
Mr Kwesi, a patient on the ward, appeared to have been quiet and withdrawn from other patients, over a certain number of days I tried to chat with him during medication time and meal times. Later, I discovered that he had been incontinent on himself in the night, and he needed support in changing his bed, however, due to his disability, he was not able to change his bed. However, he was not willing to accept any assistance as he felt that it made him appear week and helpless, which led him to be aggressive and challenging.
