Figure 1. The outside view of BPL

At Broadway Pentecostal Lodge I provided care for a 98 year old lady. During the assessment I found a lesion at the floor of the mouth. I recorded the lesion description measurements, colour, appearance,texture. My clinical instructor also took a look and took an intraoral picture. We followed the protocol of the site by taking immediate action since it was causing the client discomfort. We consulted Dr. Laronde and we also put an order up for the client’s medical doctor to come take a look. As a result, nystatin was applied topically in that area. The following week I found out that the lesion was most likely some type of fungal lesion as it has started to resolve. On the third week follow-up the lesion had no longer the whitish-yellow cheese curd appearance and no longer was giving the client pain.

From this experience I reflected that through the following protocols, I had taken part in preventing the progression of the lesion.
