Ruby is a 69-year old woman who had a haemorrhagic stroke 5 weeks ago. She has a very supportive family and is keen for them to be involved. Her main issues are:
- Mild memory and concentration problems
- Some communication problems
- Mild weakness in her arm and leg but is mobile with a stick and supervision in the ward
- Occasional urinary incontinence
He finds her goal sheet in the case notes which were set 2 weeks ago and sees that her goals were to:
- Make a cup of tea in the kitchen
- Do her exercises in the ward and walk with distant supervision from the nurses
- Get her own clothes organised in the morning and get dressed with help from one nurse
- Make sure that she gets to the toilet on time
- Practice speaking to a family member on the phone.
