I woke up about 15 minutes ago and he was already awake sitting on the couch, but he wouldn’t answer my questions.” Once in the basement, you find an approximate 49-year-old male patient who is conscious and seated on the couch.

Eddie Johns leaned back against the chair in the outpatient orthopedic clinic. His head was killing him! He wasn't sure which was worse, the "morning after" headache or not being able to sleep at night. At least when he had a few beers under his belt so he could catch a few hours of sleep. It had been like this since he was air evacuated back stateside from Afghanistan after the roadside bomb went off. He was thankful that he had only broken his leg in a couple of places and gotten a bad bump on the head. They called that traumatic brain injury but he didn't know what that was and really didn't believe them anyway. He was still thinking just fine. His friend Joe wasn't so lucky!

- Rewrite the dialogue to make it therapeutic: The nurse on a medical-surgical unit cares for an elderly female patient who has severe weakness from a stroke. She tearfully tells the nurse that her daughter, who lives on the west coast and has only visited once in the past year, wants the patient to sell her home and go into a nursing home. The nurse states, “That is terrible! I cannot believe the nerve of your daughter – she can’t even find the time to visit you but she is trying to take over your life!”arrow_forwardYou are responding to a private residence for an 80-year-old female, with altered mental status. The husband called 911. When you arrive, their adult son is on the scene. He was not aware of the 911 call and says his dad has dementia and must have gotten scared and called just before he got there. He says his mom is a diabetic and this is a pretty common occurrence, but he's not sure how it happened this time. The son said her blood sugar was 400, and he was just about to administer her normal dose of insulin. He says that since her sugar is so high, he wants to increase the dose. He is willing to sign a refusal on her behalf. Do you allow him to give the insulin? Assume the insulin is not expired and is prescribed to her. If yes, do you allow the refusal? Why or why not? Explain your decision to the son, including what is happening on a physiologic level (in terms a layman can understand) What is the long-term solution for this situation of repeated episodes of hyperglycemia?arrow_forward1) Please explain the likelihood of Susan and Lisa developing Schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s.

B) Lisa, a 55-year-old high school teacher, recently discovered that her mother has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 78.
