Hello, I am doing a concept map about a case but I need to answer some questions first. Can you please help me please?
The first question is:

CASE STUDY: MOBILITY
Mrs. Lydia Martin (LM), an 88-year-old widow, lives alone in her single-story home. She prides
herself in being fully independent. During the middle of the night, LM fell in her home while
walking to the bathroom. She was unable to get up, so she crawled to the telephone and dialed
911. She was transported to the emergency department and underwent diagnostic tests
including hip and femur x-ray and computerized tomography, which confirmed a left femoral
neck fracture. Her past medical history reveals anxiety, osteoporosis, arthritis, and cataracts.
Within 24 hours of admission, LM underwent an open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) surgical
procedure on her Left hip.
On post-op day 1, the physical therapist began to work with LM; the goal of the session was to
get her out of bed to a chair. During the attempted transfer, LM's surgical site was painful and
her urinary catheter was pulled, causing pelvic pain. She screamed in pain and refused to
continue the process. LM was anxious and fearful of pain; she also became worried that she
would never walk again and would end up in a nursing home. She was unwilling to move and
declined physical therapy the next 3 days. LM became constipated and lost her appetite. She
also developed a stage 2 pressure ulcer over her sacrum. Eventually, on post-op day 4 LM
agreed to work with the physical therapist. By this time, LM experienced significant weakness
and fatigue and was unable to move independently. LM was later transferred to a rehabilitation
center to continue regaining her mobility.

Thank you again!!
And the last question is:
Evaluation (Evaluating Outcomes): What signs point to improving/declining/unchanged status? What interventions were effective? Are there other interventions that could be more effective? Did the client’s care outlook or status improve?
by Bartleby ExpertThank you so much!
The next question is:
Implementation (Take actions) How should the intervention or combination of interventions be performed, requested, communicated, taught, etc.? What are the priority interventions? (Mark with asterisk)
by Bartleby ExpertPlanning (Generate Solutions)
What are the desirable outcomes? What interventions can achieve these outcomes? What should be avoided? (SMART Planning- specific, measurable, attainable, realistic/relevant, time-restricted- Goal setting)
Thank you Thank you!
by Bartleby ExpertThank you so much!
Can you please help me with the next question?
3. Analysis (Prioritizing Hypotheses)
What explanations are most likely? What is the most serious explanation? What is the priority order for safe and effective care? In order of priority, identify the top 3 client conditions.
by Bartleby ExpertThank you so much,
The second question is:
Analysis (Analyzing Cues)
Which client conditions are consistent with the cues? Do the cues support a particular client condition? What cues are a cause for concern? What other information would help to establish the significance of a cue?
Thank you!!
