Boriginal Medical Service in Bunbury & Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (Fasd) Case Study Nursing Assignment Help

Assignment Task

Task    

You are working at an Aboriginal medical service in Bunbury. The local primary school teachers have identified 8-year-old Josiah as a child at risk due to low school attendance, difficulty with communication and erratic anti-social behaviour with his peers. Josiah has been seen by a Paediatrician who has suggested that Josiah may be living with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Since the diagnosis, Josiah’s mother has been reluctant to engage with teachers at the school but Josiah’s Uncle (a local elder) has been bringing Josiah to school most days. In order to confirm the diagnosis, Josiah has been referred to a range of health professionals for assessments and interventions. Most of these appointments are in Perth. When seeing Josiah’s mother for an unrelated matter at the clinic you ask” how are things going with Josiah?” and she replies, “the Doctors blame me for his problems”.
