Introduction-
Simon jones is a 60 years old man who has been recently diagnosed with the bowel cancer. At the end of Simon’s journey, he is discharged home, with the follow ups for upcoming weeks such as Colorectal OPD appointment which is scheduled for 6 weeks and another appointment to Stomal therapy clinic made for 2 weeks. All medications are discussed by the pharmacist along with a refe
al that is sent to community health nurses who are supposed to visit Simon for 2 and 4 days post discharge so as to check stoma and wound care. Also, STN supplies are obtained from ostomy association. For the annotated bibliography, the articles selected tends to explore details about palliative care in the home setting post operation; in regards to senior citizens, carers, health professionals as well as the ba
iers of aged palliative care. Main focus of research will be towards home-care in all its aspects instead of actual comparison between institutional and the home care.

( Keib, Cailor et al, 2017, page-43) (Leach, hofmeyer et al, 2015, page-202). Also, the study shows value of this skill and ability to analyse and interpret research in order to have positive impact on clinical care (Keib, cailor et al, 2017, page-43). The nurse will surely gain considerable knowledge with the help of research, research analysis and message deconstruction as well as resulting which can be further applied in everyday practice.
