Staff within the rehabilitation unit have been alerted to Mary’s possible mood disturbance and a decision has been made to monitor the situation as she settles into her new surroundings.
However, after the following two weeks staff notice that Mary:
- has become more tearful (crying most days)
- is not sleeping well
- has poor appetite
- appears disinterested in her surroundings
- is becoming more reluctant to participate in occupational therapy although physiotherapists report she appears more motivated in the gym environment; the speech and language therapist reports an improvement in her expressive language skills but Mary has difficulty acknowledging this improvement
- seems to be a little happier when her family visit
