caring for Peter Schultz cerebral vascular accidents.
what I thought was the beginning happened March 3, 1995 when Peter was 77 years old. I awoke in the night to hear Peter in the bathroom coughing and hacking as though to rip his throat out. he finally stumbled back to bed and went to sleep. I arose fairly early to prepare Breakfast foe his sister and her husband who had been visiting us and were leaving that morning foe Alberta. we three were sitting at the table waiting for Peter who was slow Making an appearance. when he did we couldn't understand a word he said as his speech was so confused. he didn't seem to realize there was anything wrong. we struggled through Breakfast trying to persuade him to see a doctor but he insisted he simply had alittle sore throat so finally our guests left and we began our day. Peter lay down on the couch and slept. something was wrong but I didn't know what. later I went to my daughter's house to give the kids a piano lesson. when I told them what had happened my son -in- law immediately phoned the doctor who said I must bring Peter into the office. I went home and did that. his blood pressure is out of sight the doctor said he's had a stroke. I'll arrange for a brain scan and we'll see what the damage is.
the scan showed that he had several prior strokes that hadn't been obvious. medication for high blood pressure was prescribed and I made sure Peter took his pills each day. I had no experience looking after someone who was sick but Peter didn't seem sick anyway just a bit confused sometimes. However as time went on I began to notice some personality changes. he was often rude to me in front of friends cried easily and clung to me almost obsessively table manners seemed to slip away and he was sometimes extremely impolite.
1. what body systems are affected?
2. what observations signs and symptoms do I need to make during care based on my research of the residents diagnosis?
3. based on the above diagnosis what are my patients centered care goals by identifying the current or possible resident problems you can identify the goal
4. what am I going to do to specifically meet the goal? mentioned above give at least 3 take note of your scope practice
5. are the interventions effective? if not what will you do differently next time
