The following day at the weekly MDT meeting the physiotherapy and occupational therapy staff report that Trevor is making good progress. However, at times this has been hampered with tearful outbursts that bring therapy sessions to a halt. The nursing staff report that Trevor is eating and sleeping well but he is quite quiet on the ward and clearly upset by his crying. The nurse adds that Barbara is also very concerned about this and would like to know why this is happening.
A nurse and doctor are having a conversation about the patient: The doctor says, ‘I think we should continue with therapy input, and could you carry out mood screening to get an idea of how Trevor is feeling? I’ll also speak to Trevor myself on the ward round about his crying’. Nurse replies, ‘Ok, that’s fine. I’ll do the mood screening now.’
