III. CONCLUSION
--
Helen Keller
There is an adage that learning never ceases. Through this, the
world tells us that learning will always take its toll upon us. We are
being screwed around with the thought that we could never escape
learning, similar to that of change. Yet, there is quite a significant
difference between those that we learned in our early years, and with
the information we will be gathering once well be required and tasked
to harness our skills.
The knowledge we reap today is supposed to benefit us in our
journey towards the next step. Perhaps it is even more correct if we
refer it to be the next leap, since the world we will be facing after all
of these is quite unnerving. Either way, all the education we have gone
in the past or so will jut aid us in our battles against life: life as an
adult, life as a person; and in our case, life as a nurse.
This case study is still part of the never-ending education.
Perhaps, through this study, we will only be learning a part of the
profession that lies ahead of us. But we believed that it is the
assimilation of these bits of information that actually makes a
successful, effective, downright and caring nurse.
The fact still remains that this study provides insufficient
information regarding a specific disease condition; but what makes this
piece of work important to us is that through this, we have been
supplied with at least the basic care, if not more of the disease. These
basics, so to speak, are the media by which optimum care is
