Internal Code: MAS6410 Nursing Assignment:
Jim Karas was born on the 7th of July 1949 in Kavala, Greece. The youngest of six children, Jim described his upbringing as ideal and he was very close to his parents and enjoyed school. At the age of 17, Jim met Amara and they married a year later. Jim’s father encouraged him to move to Australia to work for his uncle who had emigrated 20 years previously. Although somewhat reluctant, Jim thought Australia sounded exciting and thought it would be a great start for both he and Amara. Amara was not as keen to move but wanted to do what would make Jim happy.
They arrived in Australia in 1969 and were excited to find they were expecting their first child (George was born in 1970, followed by a daughter Angela in 1971). Jim was overjoyed to be a father and while still working for his Uncle started to explore the idea of starting his own smallgoods business. This happened quite quickly when a nearby shop became vacant. Jim wanted to work close to home as he was worried about Amara, since arriving in Australia she had only made a few friends in the Greek community and only spoke one or two words of English. Jim tried to encourage her to learn English but each time she became frustrated. Jim recalls that Amara cried frequently after the children were born – he felt it was because she was homesick. Questions: 1) CVAD (central venous catheter line) associated bloodstream infection – how could this have been prevented? • 2) Occlusion – how could this have been prevented? And now it has occurred, how could it be best managed? • 3) Local skin irritation – how could this have been prevented? 32 total views, 2 views today
