Case Study Assignment Help

TASK Mrs Janet McKay is an 86 year old widow who lives in the Sunset Residential Aged Care Facility. Janet recently returned from the acute care hospital after a hip replacement following a fall and time in the rehabilitation ward. She mobilises with a wheelie walker but she forgets to use it on a regular basis. Janet has early stage Alzheimer’s disease and Vascular dementia that is progressing slowly. She is intermittently incontinent, usually because she cannot reach the toilet in time.  Janet has a large skin tear on her (R) lower leg from bumping against her wheelie walker. Janet has always been an independent-minded person with strong opinions. She tends to argue with the staff when they want to shower her, and on occasion has pushed a carer away when the carer tried to take her arm and lead her to the shower.
