Question

Karen is a HACC carer. Most days, she will collect lunches for certain clients from the rural hospital kitchen and deliver them. She typically plans to deliver the last meal to a client who requires assistance. She does this so that she does not have to rush him. On arrival at the client's home, Karen arranges the place setting for the client, opens any containers that the client is unable to handle, and then places the meal on a clean plate with clean utensils. She has a brief chat with him and then leaves the client to his meal. She does not return until lunchtime the next day. Comment on any food safety issues that might arise from this care arrangement.

Karen is a 66-year-old grandmother of five. She worked in an office as a legal secretary for many years before recently retiring. Due to her job and busy lifestyle, she often skipped breakfast and relied on coffee to see her through to lunch, which she usually bought from one of the food trucks outside her office building. Her favorite lunch was a sliced pork sandwich and pickle from the deli meat truck. She continued drinking coffee into the afternoon, and then sometimes at home after dinner. Despite her retirement, her dietary practices remain essentially the same, except that she buys meats from the grocery store and makes her own sandwiches now. Karen rarely ever drinks plain water, herbal tea, juice, or milk-black coffee and red wine are her only sources of hydration. For many years, Karen has battled kidney stones, high blood pressure, headaches, and chronic fatigue. How have Karen's dietary habits contributed to her health issues and what changes should she make to her routine? Although Karen drinks a moderate amount of fluid each day, all of it (except the wine) contains caffeine—a diuretic that stimulates the body to urinate. Assuming that Karen is getting enough fluid to offset coffee's diuretic effect, what potential conditions related to chronically low fluid intake levels (dehydration) might she need to be aware of? a. glaucoma, cataracts, and night blindness b. gallstones, urinary tract infections, and diabetes c. atherosclerosis, hypotension, and migraines d. kidney stones, hypertension, and constipation e. heart attack, stroke, and diabetes

Joe is a 92-year-old who resides with his son, Winston. His wife passed away 20 years ago. Joe is a retired accountant, and he is well cared for by his family. Joe was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, and his condition required 24-hour care. Joe could not recognize his favorite grandson, Billy, when he came to visit him. He tried to hurt Billy with his cane because he thought Billy was an intruder. His loss of memory and lack of awareness increased, and he was disoriented most of the time. One cold winter day, Joe got dressed for work even though he retired many years ago. He was found wandering around the street with his briefcase near the subway station for hours. His family called the police, and there was an alert to the local news channel. After hours of being missing, Joe collapsed in the snow, and a kind Samaritan found him. Joe was found at the local hospital, and a hospital worker recognized him from the news and alerted the police. Joe safely returned home, but the family needed a good plan to keep Joe safe. Imagine that you are Joe's therapist in charge of helping him and his family. What strategies and resources can you recommend to the family?
