You were told the fracture in your right leg will require complicated surgery to repair and extensive rehab to recover. There is a question as to whether you will ever regain full use of this leg. The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Tonight you are alone in your hospital room and the night nurse has just come in.Write a short paragraph (8-10 sentences with a topic sentence) reflecting on this patient experience. Make sure your paragraph includes:
Identify 3 expectations of your night nurse to provide you with symptom management and/or emotional support.
