 Case Study 2 – Harry

Harry has recently entered care. Through the assessment process it has been noted that Harry has the following needs:

§ Needs assistance to get out of his chair.

§ Has recently had hip replacement. Recovery has been slow and muscles are badly wasted.

§ Likes to shower everyday but requires assistance.

§ Incontinent.

§ Enjoys reading, chess and reading the newspaper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5.      What are two other activities that Harry would enjoy that would suit his physical limitations?

 

7.      Why is it important to involve Harry in the types of activities he is going to be involved in?

 

After two months in the residence, you notice that Harry is not relying on his walking frame anymore for short walks to the bathroom or the dining room. His muscles seem to be getting stronger and he is very pleased with himself when he doesn’t rely on his walking frame.

8.      How will you assist Harry to be as independent as possible while ensuring he uses available support when it is necessary?

 

9.      What will you do with your observations of Harry’s improved physical strength and his ability to walk unassisted for short periods.

 

Harry has just started leaving the residence once per month for a day to visit his daughter and her husband on her farm. They come and pick him up and then bring him back after the day is over. You notice after one of these trips that he has bruises all over his upper arms. You ask him how he got the bruises and he just shrugs it off and says it’s nothing, he hasn’t even noticed them. Harry is rather melancholy but you can see he is upset and he keeps rubbing the bruises.

10.   What will you do in this situation and why? Use your workplace’s policies and procedures in this case to guide your answer.
