Resident Pleasant, Cooperative Case Study

As Mrs B has diminished mobility we have to make sure she gets enough exercise and movement so she doesn’t get stiff, so it’s important that she goes for small assisted walks in the ward. Mrs B has a healthy appetite and likes to choose her own meals.

Once a resident has improved with their mobility its down to the care staff to help encourage them to continue using this daily life skill by encouraging them to be as independent as possible with things they are known they are able to do reporting any

I believe impacting the lives of other people positively in the society is a great achievement. As a physical therapist in future, I will leave an impression by helping patients to obtain maximum health care through rehabilitation. Furnished with knowledge from a program of physical therapy specialist, I will help patients to manage pain, improve their movement, limit or prevent permanent disabilities and restore functioning (Porter and Teisberg, 2006). My aim is to offer high quality care that will eventually help patients to promote their health and fitness through active

The location of Point Pleasant allowed them to be a part of the transport of coal, salt, and other popular materials, the profit at the time was successful. They believed if things could stay that same Point Pleasant would stay a major area. As the War happen and then Laws made concerning slavery no longer being able to be profit ability for cheap labor, business took a hit after the War in to the Reconstruction period of the Southern states.

Standard procedures for transfers are frequently modified to allow the patient to safely move from one surface or position to another, especially in an assisted living facility. One resident, had recently undergone a right total hip replacement, and was still under standard hip precautions. Additionally, she had a history of repeated fractures to her right wrist, which limited her overall range and strength in that extremity. When assessing her limitations, we decided a dependent transfer would have to be modified to a two-person dependent transfer, allowing us to adhere to present hip precautions, as well as to compensating for the decreased strength in her right upper extremity. Prior to initiating the transfer from wheelchair to mat, the

The goals of this intervention were to decrease patient pain and disability as well as to increase range of motion. Affectiveness of treament was measured with multiple scales to account for both subjective and objective information. The patient was asked to subjectively rate his perceived pain and function. The examiner measured objective ROM, functional movement and special testings. The following are measures that were included:

This model emphasizes the “TR assists persons to recover following threats to health and to achieve as high a level of health as possible” (Shank & Coyle, 2002, p.56). The initiative to increase opportunities for residents to ambulate on the unit better will in yield an outcome of stronger muscles. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention list several reasons why “physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health” (The Benefits of Physical Activity, 2015). This initiative will promote health by stimulating residents to walk around thus strengthening muscles. It also provides health protection against future falls. “Research shows that doing balance and muscle-strengthening activities each week along with moderate-intensity aerobic activity, like brisk walking, can help reduce your risk of falling” (The Benefits of Physical Activity,
