Discussion Board: Quality Healthcare Instructions As you have learned in
CASE STUDY: Ms. Sarah Williams, a 65-year-old woman, presents with a history of mesothelioma, leading to chronic respiratory compromise. Sarah resides at home alone, in the Adelaide suburb of Marion, South Australia. Sarah’s partner of 30 years, Jane, died 6 months ago. Jane provided some care for Sarah and managed all the household financial business. Since Jane’s death, Sarah has found it increasingly difficult to maintain her ADL’s, particularly showering, housework, gardening, cooking, and shopping. Over the past 12 months Sarah has also found her weight has increased significantly (15kg weight gain) and at her last visit, the GP indicated that there were indications in her blood examinations that her HBA1C was elevated. Sarah also experiences breathlessness, particularly on exertion, requiring occasional supplementary oxygen therapy. Her medications include a combination of bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and analgesics to alleviate respiratory symptoms and manage the pain associated with mesothelioma. Sarah uses a walking frame around the house and an electric scooter to drive to the local shops for food and other shopping. She has expressed reluctance to attend any appointments at the GP or other healthcare practitioners as she finds getting in and out of a taxi difficult, and now that Jane is not with her, she has no one to accompany her if she needs assistance, for example to use public toilet facilities. Sarah also reports feeling very sad about the recent changes
