Reporting (250 words) Please provide a brief description of the case you have chosen to discuss. Do not repeat the case details- tell me what were the issues of the case. For example, the issue may have been IV drug use, occupational violence and personal safety in the maternity context. You need to identify what your weaknesses are in your ability to appropriately respond to the case and provide care
Responding (250 words) Provide your personal response to the situation including your thoughts and feelings.
You may identify weaknesses here as well if your weaknesses include a lack of compassion or empathy. Helpful phrases are ‘I felt…’, ‘I thought…’, ‘I believe…’, ‘I think…’.
Relating (500 words) In this section you need to link your weaknesses to the wider healthcare profession.For example, I felt a lack of compassion for the mother who used drugs and endangered her child. This lack of compassion and empathy has been identified as a barrier to appropriate care provided by RNs within the maternity context (reference). This section should be heavily referenced.

Reasoning (500 words)
In this section you need to explore and explain the issue and the significant factors that contributed to the issue. For example, IV drug use in the maternity context is a significant issue worldwide (reference). Therefore, RNs need to be able to set aside their personal biases in order to provide compassionate care (reference). The provision of compassionate care to IV drug addicts within the maternity setting has been associated with increased help seeking behaviors and therefore improved outcomes for both the mother and infant (reference).This section should be heavily referenced.
Reconstructing (500 words)
In this section you need to draw conclusions your ability to practice and about the issues you discuss. You need to delineate goals for your future practice using the SMART goal acronym- see FAQs for an example. You need to write a tangible action plan detailing how you will reach your goals.
