There is a staff meeting later in the day. Caro usually doesn’ttalk much as she feels others know more than her. When thediscussion turns to Mrs Camillero she realises that she is the onlyone to have spoken extensively with her and a family member. Shereports to the care manager, RNs, other care workers and someallied health personnel who are at the meeting how she has talkedwith Mrs Camillero who is not afraid of death as she is a strongCatholic but is desperate to see her first great grandchild. Shealso reports on the desire for advanced directives to be part ofthe care plan and that large family numbers and pain control remainworries. This is the most significant contribution to thediscussion on care for Mrs Camillero and Caro feels pleased.
