    After reviewing the materials you created to research a specific diagnosis
    **(DVT)** in the first two assessments, apply the PICO(T) process to develop a research question and research it.

    Your initial goal is to define the population, intervention, comparison, and outcome. In some cases, a time frame is relevant and you should include that as well, when writing a question you can research related to your issue of interest. After you define your question, research it, and organize your initial findings, select the two sources of evidence that seem the most relevant to your question and analyze them in more depth. Specifically, interpret each source's specific findings and best practices related to your chosen diagnosis, and explain how the evidence would help you plan and make decisions related to your question.

    If you need some structure to organize your initial thoughts and research, the PICOT Question and Research Template document (accessible from the "
    [Create PICO(T) Questions](https://capellauniversity.libguides.com/EBP/picot)" page in the Capella library's Evidence Based Practice guide) might be helpful.

    In your submission, make sure you address the following grading criteria:

    · Define a practice issue to be explored via a PICO(T) approach. Create a PICO(T)-formatted research question

    · Identify sources of evidence that could be potentially effective in answering a PICO(T) question (databases, journals, websites, etc.).

    · Explain the findings from articles or other sources of evidence as it relates to the identified health care issue.

    · Explain the relevance of the findings from chosen sources of evidence to making decision related to a PICO(T) question.

    · Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional with correct grammar and spelling using the current APA style.

    **Example Assessment**: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like:

    Using a PICO(T) Framework and Evidence to Develop Care Practices

    When developing care practices for patients, the PICO(T) research framework, which

    expands to Population/Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Time, can be used to

    create an effective care plan and ensure that patients’ needs are met. Relying on secondary

    research, the author of this paper will define a practice issue surrounding patients with dementia,

    apply the PICO(T) process, identify sources of evidence that may provide answers to the

    research question, explain key findings from articles, and explain the relevance of those key

    findings.

    Use of the PICO(T) Approach when Caring for Patients with Dementia

    The practice issue identified for resolution is the need to develop care practices that

    effectively manage agitation in patients with dementia in nursing homes that are outside of

    pharmacological approaches. The question being explored is: Is the non-pharmacological

    approach, specifically an intervention approach, more effective than the pharmacological

    approach in managing behavioral symptoms (such as agitation) in patients with dementia?

    The intervention approach identified is person-centered care or patient-centered care

    (PCC), an approach that emphasizes more on an individual’s experiences and the communication

    of his or her needs than on the pure implementation of a health care provider’s expertise (Desai,

    et al., 2017). The population being studied are patients with dementia with agitative behavioral

    symptoms in nursing homes. As the objective is to explore care practices that address this issue,

    only factors related to care in nursing homes are considered. The study does not take into

    consideration cultural, political, and social factors (Kim & Park, 2017).

    Identification of Sources of Evidence

    DICE Model

    3

    Copyright ©2019 Capella University. Copy and distribution of this document are prohibited.

    The DICE (Describe, Investigate, Create, and Evaluate) model is a notable PCC

    intervention model that identifies optimal treatment options for patients with dementia with

    neuropsychiatric symptoms. Developed by a panel of interdisciplinary experts at the University

    of Michigan Program for Positive Aging, the model is constitutive of a four-step approach. The

    first step of the approach is the accurate description of the patient’s behavior, the second is the

    identification of possible underlying causes, the third is the creation and implementation of

    treatment plans, and the fourth is the assessment of the strategies developed (Desai et al., 2017;

    Kales et al., 2014).

    The model’s essential recommendations for facilitating improvement in neuropsychiatric

    symptoms among patients with dementia are educating the caregiver; forging better

    communication between the patient and the caregiver; assisting the caregiver in organizing

    meaningful activities such as cooking, painting, or reading depending on the patient’s interests;

    and training the caregiver on simplifying his or her work routines (Desai et al., 2017; Kales et al.,

    2014).

    Individualized Intervention Model

    The individualized intervention model is a model in which intervention activities are carried

    out based on the history, needs, abilities, and preferences of patients with dementia. In this

    model, PCC-based activities are directly carried out by trained health care staff with expertise in

    social work, recreational therapy, geriatric psychiatry, and psychology (Kim & Park, 2017).

    Care Staff-Directed Model

    In the care staff–directed model, PCC activities are based on the staff’s education and

    training on empathy and person-centeredness. The model also makes a provision for offering

    4

    staff regular feedback for their work. The intervention period in such a model ranges from 3

    months to 2 years (Kim & Park, 2017).

    Findings from Articles

    As PCC is a major nonpharmacological approach to treating agitation in patients with

    dementia, its effectiveness is studied by making a comparative analysis to the pharmacological

    approach to manage behavioral symptoms in patients with dementia. Pharmacological treatment

    in general refers to the use of psychotropic medication to manage agitation or neuropsychotic

    symptoms (NPS) in patients with dementia (Madhusoodanan & Ting, 2014; Kales et al., 2014).

    Some of the common pharmacological interventions include the use of antipsychotropics,

    antidepressants such as sertraline and citalopram, and sedative-hypnotics through the use of

    benzodiazepines to control acute agitation (Madhusoodanan & Ting, 2014). The use of

    psychotropic medication poses high risks of mortality and harmful side effects (Kales et al.,

    2014). Psychotropic medication is also expensive and is restricted by regulatory bodies.

    However, the use of pharmacological intervention is justified when the benefits outweigh the

    risks or in situations wherein nonpharmacological interventions have proven unsuccessful

    (Madhusoodanan & Ting, 2014).

    The PCC approach has proven effective in addressing the etiology of aggressive

    outbursts. Unlike the pharmacological approach, which is based on treating symptoms, the PCC

    approach contributes to the resolution of underlying causes (Desai et al., 2017). The study by

    Kales et al. (2014) finds reasonable evidence of the DICE program’s contribution toward better

    clinical practices and improvement in aggressive behavior, and it observes that the approach

    results in fewer hospitalizations and readmissions. In their systematic review and meta-analysis

    of 19 primary studies, Kim and Park (2017) found 15 studies that measure the impact of PCC on

    5

    agitation using the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (an agitation mapping instrument) and

    the Brief Agitation Rating Scale. They found that 8 of the 15 studies show positive effects on

    agitation with individualized interventions (with a significant mean difference of -0.513),

    showing better effects than with care staff–directed interventions (with a significant mean

    difference of -0.160).

    As this paper relies on secondary research on the PCC intervention to manage agitative

    behavior in patients with dementia in nursing homes, there are multiple time frames for the

    various intervention studies reviewed. While some studies had a long intervention period ranging

    from 9 months to 2 years, others had shorter intervention periods of just a few weeks. From the

    above exploration of the research problem based on the PICO(T) framework, it is clear that this

    framework has contributed to the delineation of precise intervention practices and has brought

    conceptual clarity on the issue of agitative behavior in patients with dementia.

    Relevance of Findings from Articles

    The study by Kales et al. (2014) was chosen as it provides a comprehensive explanation

    of the PCC-based DICE intervention program and its potential outcomes and draws an objective

    comparison of the program with pharmacological intervention. The study observed that the

    DICE model was developed by a panel of experts with years of clinical and research expertise in

    managing NPS in patients with dementia. The strategies formulated in the DICE approach were

    found to carry a strong evidence base. As it is evidence-informed, the DICE approach could be

    helpful for clinicians across diverse settings. Kales et al. (2014) conclude their study with a

    discussion on the potential of the DICE approach in enhancing clinical practices and ensuring the

    treatment of agitative behavior in patients with dementia.

    The rationale for selecting the study by Kim and Park (2017) was that it presents a

    systematic review and meta-analysis of 19 primary intervention studies, of which 17 studies are

    from long-term care facilities. In their systematic review and meta-analysis of these studies, Kim

    and Park (2017) found that PCC has a significant impact on reducing NPS in patients with

    dementia. Kim and Park’s (2017) review found the increased engagement between care

    providers and patients and the magnitude of the program’s intensity to be the reasons for short-

    term PCC intervention having greater benefits in comparison to long-term intervention. The

    findings are relevant because they are based on 17 long-term, clinical PCC intervention studies

    comprising both controlled and non-controlled cluster-randomized trials conducted over the past

    10 years (Kim & Park, 2017).

    Kim & Park’s findings prove to be the most credible. In their systematic review and

    meta-analysis of primary studies, Kim and Park’s findings (2017) adhere to the guidelines of the

    Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. They also utilize analysis

    tools such as the Cochrane Collaboration’s risk of bias and the risk of bias assessment tool to

    ensure quality screening of the studies.

    Conclusion

    There is a need to develop care practices that are outside of pharmacological approaches

    for managing agitation in patients with dementia. The PICO(T) framework was applied to

    determine if the intervention approach of person-centered care or patient-centered care (PCC)

    was more effective than the pharmacological approach by identifying sources of evidence,

    explaining the findings and proving the relevance of those findings. The articles by Kales et al.

    (2014) and Kim and Park (2017), provide precise, reliable, and relevant information to

    adequately explore the effectiveness of the PCC approach.

    Using a PICO(T) Framework and Evidence to Develop Care Practices

    When developing care practices for patients, the PICO(T) research framework, which

    expands to Population/Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Time, can be used to

    create an effective care plan and ensure that patients’ needs are met. Relying on secondary

    research, the author of this paper will define a practice issue surrounding patients with dementia,

    apply the PICO(T) process, identify sources of evidence that may provide answers to the

    research question, explain key findings from articles, and explain the relevance of those key

    findings.

    Use of the PICO(T) Approach when Caring for Patients with Dementia

    The practice issue identified for resolution is the need to develop care practices that

    effectively manage agitation in patients with dementia in nursing homes that are outside of

    pharmacological approaches. The question being explored is: Is the non-pharmacological

    approach, specifically an intervention approach, more effective than the pharmacological

    approach in managing behavioral symptoms (such as agitation) in patients with dementia?

    The intervention approach identified is person-centered care or patient-centered care

    (PCC), an approach that emphasizes more on an individual’s experiences and the communication

    of his or her needs than on the pure implementation of a health care provider’s expertise (Desai,

    et al., 2017). The population being studied are patients with dementia with agitative behavioral

    symptoms in nursing homes. As the objective is to explore care practices that address this issue,

    only factors related to care in nursing homes are considered. The study does not take into

    consideration cultural, political, and social factors (Kim & Park, 2017).

    Identification of Sources of Evidence

    DICE Model

    3

    Copyright ©2019 Capella University. Copy and distribution of this document are prohibited.

    The DICE (Describe, Investigate, Create, and Evaluate) model is a notable PCC

    intervention model that identifies optimal treatment options for patients with dementia with

    neuropsychiatric symptoms. Developed by a panel of interdisciplinary experts at the University

    of Michigan Program for Positive Aging, the model is constitutive of a four-step approach. The

    first step of the approach is the accurate description of the patient’s behavior, the second is the

    identification of possible underlying causes, the third is the creation and implementation of

    treatment plans, and the fourth is the assessment of the strategies developed (Desai et al., 2017;

    Kales et al., 2014).

    The model’s essential recommendations for facilitating improvement in neuropsychiatric

    symptoms among patients with dementia are educating the caregiver; forging better

    communication between the patient and the caregiver; assisting the caregiver in organizing

    meaningful activities such as cooking, painting, or reading depending on the patient’s interests;

    and training the caregiver on simplifying his or her work routines (Desai et al., 2017; Kales et al.,

    2014).

    Individualized Intervention Model

    The individualized intervention model is a model in which intervention activities are carried

    out based on the history, needs, abilities, and preferences of patients with dementia. In this

    model, PCC-based activities are directly carried out by trained health care staff with expertise in

    social work, recreational therapy, geriatric psychiatry, and psychology (Kim & Park, 2017).

    Care Staff-Directed Model

    In the care staff–directed model, PCC activities are based on the staff’s education and

    training on empathy and person-centeredness. The model also makes a provision for offering

    4

    staff regular feedback for their work. The intervention period in such a model ranges from 3

    months to 2 years (Kim & Park, 2017).

    Findings from Articles

    As PCC is a major nonpharmacological approach to treating agitation in patients with

    dementia, its effectiveness is studied by making a comparative analysis to the pharmacological

    approach to manage behavioral symptoms in patients with dementia. Pharmacological treatment

    in general refers to the use of psychotropic medication to manage agitation or neuropsychotic

    symptoms (NPS) in patients with dementia (Madhusoodanan & Ting, 2014; Kales et al., 2014).

    Some of the common pharmacological interventions include the use of antipsychotropics,

    antidepressants such as sertraline and citalopram, and sedative-hypnotics through the use of

    benzodiazepines to control acute agitation (Madhusoodanan & Ting, 2014). The use of

    psychotropic medication poses high risks of mortality and harmful side effects (Kales et al.,

    2014). Psychotropic medication is also expensive and is restricted by regulatory bodies.

    However, the use of pharmacological intervention is justified when the benefits outweigh the

    risks or in situations wherein nonpharmacological interventions have proven unsuccessful

    (Madhusoodanan & Ting, 2014).

    The PCC approach has proven effective in addressing the etiology of aggressive

    outbursts. Unlike the pharmacological approach, which is based on treating symptoms, the PCC

    approach contributes to the resolution of underlying causes (Desai et al., 2017). The study by

    Kales et al. (2014) finds reasonable evidence of the DICE program’s contribution toward better

    clinical practices and improvement in aggressive behavior, and it observes that the approach

    results in fewer hospitalizations and readmissions. In their systematic review and meta-analysis

    of 19 primary studies, Kim and Park (2017) found 15 studies that measure the impact of PCC on

    5

    agitation using the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (an agitation mapping instrument) and

    the Brief Agitation Rating Scale. They found that 8 of the 15 studies show positive effects on

    agitation with individualized interventions (with a significant mean difference of -0.513),

    showing better effects than with care staff–directed interventions (with a significant mean

    difference of -0.160).

    As this paper relies on secondary research on the PCC intervention to manage agitative

    behavior in patients with dementia in nursing homes, there are multiple time frames for the

    various intervention studies reviewed. While some studies had a long intervention period ranging

    from 9 months to 2 years, others had shorter intervention periods of just a few weeks. From the

    above exploration of the research problem based on the PICO(T) framework, it is clear that this

    framework has contributed to the delineation of precise intervention practices and has brought

    conceptual clarity on the issue of agitative behavior in patients with dementia.

    Relevance of Findings from Articles

    The study by Kales et al. (2014) was chosen as it provides a comprehensive explanation

    of the PCC-based DICE intervention program and its potential outcomes and draws an objective

    comparison of the program with pharmacological intervention. The study observed that the

    DICE model was developed by a panel of experts with years of clinical and research expertise in

    managing NPS in patients with dementia. The strategies formulated in the DICE approach were

    found to carry a strong evidence base. As it is evidence-informed, the DICE approach could be

    helpful for clinicians across diverse settings. Kales et al. (2014) conclude their study with a

    discussion on the potential of the DICE approach in enhancing clinical practices and ensuring the

    treatment of agitative behavior in patients with dementia.

    The rationale for selecting the study by Kim and Park (2017) was that it presents a

    systematic review and meta-analysis of 19 primary intervention studies, of which 17 studies are

    from long-term care facilities. In their systematic review and meta-analysis of these studies, Kim

    and Park (2017) found that PCC has a significant impact on reducing NPS in patients with

    dementia. Kim and Park’s (2017) review found the increased engagement between care

    providers and patients and the magnitude of the program’s intensity to be the reasons for short-

    term PCC intervention having greater benefits in comparison to long-term intervention. The

    findings are relevant because they are based on 17 long-term, clinical PCC intervention studies

    comprising both controlled and non-controlled cluster-randomized trials conducted over the past

    10 years (Kim & Park, 2017).

    Kim & Park’s findings prove to be the most credible. In their systematic review and

    meta-analysis of primary studies, Kim and Park’s findings (2017) adhere to the guidelines of the

    Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. They also utilize analysis

    tools such as the Cochrane Collaboration’s risk of bias and the risk of bias assessment tool to

    ensure quality screening of the studies.

    Conclusion

    There is a need to develop care practices that are outside of pharmacological approaches

    for managing agitation in patients with dementia. The PICO(T) framework was applied to

    determine if the intervention approach of person-centered care or patient-centered care (PCC)

    was more effective than the pharmacological approach by identifying sources of evidence,

    explaining the findings and proving the relevance of those findings. The articles by Kales et al.

    (2014) and Kim and Park (2017), provide precise, reliable, and relevant information to

    adequately explore the effectiveness of the PCC approach.

    SOAP Note Assignment Instructions

    Consider constructing a Word document ‘SOAP note template’ and use it to assemble your
    note. By doing this you can use the template for efficiently constructing your SOAP notes such
    that you will be able to copy-and-paste for your weekly assignments. NOTE: If your faculty
    person requests to see your SOAP note template you will be required to send it to them for
    review.

    Sections of the SOAP note should be addressed if they are pertinent to the presenting chief
    complaint.

    Typhon Encounter #:

    Type of Note: Focused or Comprehensive

    Subjective (S):

    CC: chief complaint – What are they being seen for? This is the reason that the patient sought
    care, stated in their own words/words of their caregiver, or paraphrased.

    HPI: Who is the historian? Is the historian reliable? History of Present Illness – use the “OLDCART”
    approach for collecting data and documenting findings. [O=onset, L=location, D=duration,
    C=characteristics, A=associated/aggravating factors, R=relieving factors, T=treatment,
    S=summary]

    Past medical history (PMH) – This should include illness/diagnosis, conditions, traumas,
    hospitalizations, and surgical history that is pertinent to the visit. Include dates if possible.

    Reproductive history: GTPAL, STIs, prenatal care, LMP, contraceptive methods, sexual and
    menstrual history. Include dates if possible.

    Allergies: State the offending medication/food and the reactions.

    Medications: Names, dosages, routes, frequency, and indications.

    Social history: Related to the problem, educational level/literacy, smoking, alcohol, drugs, HIV
    risk, sexually active, caffeine, work, and other stressors. Cultural and spiritual beliefs that
    impact health and illness. Financial resources.

    Family history: Use terms like maternal, paternal and the diseases and the ages they were
    deceased or diagnosed if known.

    Health Maintenance/Promotion – Required for all SOAP notes: Immunizations, exercise, diet,
    screening, etc. Remember to use the United States Clinical Preventative Services Task Force
    (USPSTF) guidelines for age-appropriate indicators, Healthy People 2030, and Centers for
    Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This should reflect patient’s current recommendations.
    Up to date on health maintenance/promotion will NOT be accepted. Requires references.

    Review of systems (ROS) –

    • [Refer to your course modules and the Bickley E-text (Bates Guide) as a guide when
    conducting your ROS to make sure you have not missed any important symptoms,

    2


    particularly in areas that you have not already thoroughly explored while discussing the
    history of present illness.]

    You would also want to include any pertinent negatives or positives that would help with your
    differential diagnosis. For acute episodic or follow-up visits (focused note) you may be omitting
    certain areas such as GYN, Rectal, GI/Abd, etc. As opposed to a comprehensive visit which
    would address each system.

    Perform either a focused or comprehensive ROS based on the visit type.

    General: May include if patient has had a fever, chills, fatigue, malaise, etc.

    Skin:

    HEENT: head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat

    Neck:

    Breast:

    CV: cardiovascular

    Resp: respiratory

    determining what physical assessments, you want to include to further explore what you
    have learned from your subjective data collection]

    Perform either a focused or comprehensive exam based on the visit type.

    This area should confirm your findings related to the diagnosis. For acute episodic or follow-up
    visits (focused) you may be omitting certain areas such as GYN, Rectal, Abd, etc. While a
    comprehensive visit will exam each area.

    Ensure that you include appropriate male and female specific physical assessments when
    applicable to the encounter. Your physical exam information should be organized using the

    3

    same body system format as the ROS section. Appropriate medical terminology describing the
    objective examination is mandatory.
    Gen: general statement of appearance if there is any acute distress.

    VS: vital signs, height and weight, BMI

    Diagnostic Tests: This area is for tests that were completed during the patient’s appointment
    that ruled the differential diagnosis in or out (e.g. – Rapid Strep Test, CXR, etc.).

    Assessment (A):
    This section should be a write-up utilizing your clinical decision-making with your
    diagnosis/diagnoses being supported by your ‘S’ data set and the ‘O’ data set. Pertinent
    positives and negatives must be found in the write-up. References required.

    Diagnosis/Diagnoses: Start with the presenting chief complaint diagnosis first. Number each
    diagnosis.

    Remember to include the appropriate ICD-10 code for each diagnosis.

    A statement of current condition and all other chronic illnesses that were addressed during the
    visit must be included (i.e., HTN-well managed on medication).

    Plan (P):

    Your plan should be supported by evidence-based guidelines with appropriate citations utilizing
    APA formatting. Your evidence-based plan may be deviated from your preceptor’s plan. Be sure
    to comment if there is a deviation in standard of care.

    4

    Document individual plans directly after each corresponding assessment (i.e., Diagnosis #1
    found in the assessment should correlate with Plan #1). Address the following aspects (it should
    be separated out as listed below):

    Diagnostics: labs, diagnostics testing – tests that you planned for/ordered during the encounter
    that you plan to review/evaluate relative to your work up for the patient’s chief complaint.
    Therapeutic: changes in meds, skin care, counseling, include full prescribing information for
    any pharmacologic interventions including the name of the medication, dose, route,
    quantity, and number of refills for any new or refilled medications.

    Educational: information clients need in order to address their health problems including the
    diagnosis itself, education on diagnostics, and therapies. Include follow-up care. Anticipatory
    guidance and counseling.

    Consultation/Collaboration: referrals or consult while in clinic with another provider. If no
    referral made was there a possible referral you could make and why? Advance care planning.

    CPT:

    References
    Reference should support your patient’s management plan, including evidence-based practice,
    and utilize APA formatting.

    SOAP Note Assignment Instructions

    Consider constructing a Word document ‘SOAP note template’ and use it to assemble your
    note. By doing this you can use the template for efficiently constructing your SOAP notes such
    that you will be able to copy-and-paste for your weekly assignments. NOTE: If your faculty
    person requests to see your SOAP note template you will be required to send it to them for
    review.

    Sections of the SOAP note should be addressed if they are pertinent to the presenting chief
    complaint.

    Typhon Encounter #:

    Type of Note: Focused or Comprehensive

    Subjective (S):

    CC: chief complaint – What are they being seen for? This is the reason that the patient sought
    care, stated in their own words/words of their caregiver, or paraphrased.

    HPI: Who is the historian? Is the historian reliable? History of Present Illness – use the “OLDCART”
    approach for collecting data and documenting findings. [O=onset, L=location, D=duration,
    C=characteristics, A=associated/aggravating factors, R=relieving factors, T=treatment,
    S=summary]

    Past medical history (PMH) – This should include illness/diagnosis, conditions, traumas,
    hospitalizations, and surgical history that is pertinent to the visit. Include dates if possible.

    Reproductive history: GTPAL, STIs, prenatal care, LMP, contraceptive methods, sexual and
    menstrual history. Include dates if possible.

    Allergies: State the offending medication/food and the reactions.

    Medications: Names, dosages, routes, frequency, and indications.

    Social history: Related to the problem, educational level/literacy, smoking, alcohol, drugs, HIV
    risk, sexually active, caffeine, work, and other stressors. Cultural and spiritual beliefs that
    impact health and illness. Financial resources.

    Family history: Use terms like maternal, paternal and the diseases and the ages they were
    deceased or diagnosed if known.

    Health Maintenance/Promotion – Required for all SOAP notes: Immunizations, exercise, diet,
    screening, etc. Remember to use the United States Clinical Preventative Services Task Force
    (USPSTF) guidelines for age-appropriate indicators, Healthy People 2030, and Centers for
    Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This should reflect patient’s current recommendations.
    Up to date on health maintenance/promotion will NOT be accepted. Requires references.

    You would also want to include any pertinent negatives or positives that would help with your
    differential diagnosis. For acute episodic or follow-up visits (focused note) you may be omitting
    certain areas such as GYN, Rectal, GI/Abd, etc. As opposed to a comprehensive visit which
    would address each system.

    Perform either a focused or comprehensive ROS based on the visit type.

    Case Study Module 4

    **Instructions:** Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions. Please provide rationales for your answers. Make sure to provide a citation for your answers. Must follow APA, 7th ed. format.

    **Due: Wednesday March 9, 2025**

    **CASE STUDY: Family Member with Alzheimer’s Disease: Mark and Jacqueline**

    Mark and Jacqueline have been married for 30 years. They have grown children who live in another state. Jacqueline’s mother has moved in with the couple because she has Alzheimer’s disease. Jacqueline is an only child and always promised her mother that she would care for her in her old age. Her mother is unaware of her surroundings and often calls out for her daughter Jackie when Jacqueline is in the room. Jacqueline reassures her mother that she is there to help, but to no avail.

    Jacqueline is unable to visit her children on holidays because she must attend to her mother’s daily needs. She is reluctant to visit friends or even go out to a movie because of her mother’s care needs or because she is too tired. Even though she has eliminated most leisure activities with Mark, Jacqueline goes to bed at night with many of her caregiving tasks unfinished. She tries to visit with her mother during the day, but her mother rejects any contact with her daughter. Planning for the upcoming holidays seems impossible to Mark, because of his wife’s inability to focus on anything except her mother’s care.

    Jacqueline has difficulty sleeping at night and is unable to discuss plans even a few days in advance. She is unable to visit friends and is reluctant to have friends visit because of the unpredictable behavior of her mother and her need to attend to the daily care.

    **Reflective Questions**

    1. How do you think this situation reflects Jacqueline’s sense of role performance?

    2. How do you think that Jacqueline may be contributing to her own health?

    3. Provide examples of behavioral changes (functional, potentially dysfunctional, and dysfunctional) within the health patterns of families.
