Read Unfolding Case Study: Activity 3. Then, answer the reflective questions.
Case Study
Jean wanted nothing more than to live her final days at home. It was disappointing that she went to the hospital for lightheadedness and now would never return home. In long-term care, she secretly hoped she would be able to return home, she thought; if she worked hard enough. Her mood was uplifted when visited by her grandchildren. One evening, after her visitors had left, Jean placed her call light on for assistance to use the restroom. She waited for 20 minutes, and nobody came to help. She was worried she would be incontinent and soil her underclothing, so she got up independently. Unfortunately, she was too weak and dizzy and fell on the carpeted floor. Now, she was really scared. She thought she certainly wouldn’t be allowed to return home after falling. Fortunately, she was not injured but would not be allowed to leave her bed without others’ help. She became depressed and, sadly, died one week later surrounded by her family in long-term care.
