Description: In week 7 we had visited Wesburn Manor, the Long-term Care (Clinical Placement) setting. It was our first time there, therefore as a group, we oriented the place.

We were educated by our clinical instructor on the different access codes in the building, the policies and guidelines, our assigned floor and the appointed personal support worker. Our role of professionalism as a nursing student was represented as we came prepared and greeted each healthcare and staff member.

Elderly people aged 65 and over are one of the most widely affected groups by malnutrition in Australia. It has been estimated by the University of Wollongong that around 30 percent of hospitalised elderly Australians are malnourished, while another 50 percent are at high risk of malnutrition. General deterioration of physical and mental health from ageing can result in malnutrition. In combination with this, changes in lifestyle for elderly people often lead to loneliness, boredom and worry, prompting a worsened diet. Elderly people often experience physical changes in the body which can result in low levels of necessary nutrients.

SECONDARY CARE Secondary care focuses on preventing complication of disease conditions. It has traditionally been the province of hospitals; however, other agencies now increasingly provide this level of service. Secondary care centers of the future will focus on treatment of temporal dysfunctions that require hospitalizations but not highly skilled services and high-risks interventions, the evaluation of long term illness that requires hospitalizations to determine any needed change in treatment, and the provision of counselling and therapy that can be provided in a primary care center. Agencies that provide secondary care include hospitals, home health agencies and ambulatory care centers.
