Q1. Option 1 because bringing together healthcare professionals (MDT) from various fields helps in determining a patient’s care plan. This will help in providing better care for Eve
Q2. Option 1 because Eve has mental capacity, she is able to make informed decisions for herself, providing her with the information she needs in making decisions, allowing her time to think, and providing her with resources to ease her decision making (for example using pictures for her to choose what to eat or drink).
Q3. Option 2, because Eve should be supported and NOT restricted in carrying out her activities of daily living
Q4. What I understand from the answerphone message left on Eve’s telephone is that she sounded lonely and isolated. The message to me sounded like she has NOT been receiving adequate care and support. She’s been restricted. Putting myself in Eve’s shoes, makes me feel isolated and restricted. Social and emotional isolation is linked to dementia and cognitive reduction.
