A case study of a patient with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis
1Community nurse working in South West England.
Abstract:
In this case study, a nurse presents her reflections on the challenges of supporting a patient through his treatment journey for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. The patient has significant comorbidities and social issues, such as diabetes and homelessness. There was also a language barrier. All these aspects made the management of his treatment challenging. The medication side effects and his lifestyle were also a barrier to full engagement. The same multidisciplinary team was involved with the patient and, despite the obstacles, he seemed willing to engage with treatment and the team.
