RED Diabetes,WELL EXPLAINED GRADED A.

Simulation Scenario 3 occurs 5 days later when Red is scheduled for discharge from the hospital. Jon thinks that Red should move in with him for now, but Red is sure he is able to care for himself, and insists that his confusion was due to the fact that he did not have his glasses or hearing aids for the last week. Learners will need to determine how much, if any, functional decline has occurred while Red has been hospitalized. The risks and benefits of Red’s living arrangements need to be analyzed in collaboration with Red, Jon, Judy and the healthcare team. Suggested tools for this scenario include the Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and/or the Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL)Scale, and the Transitional Care Model (TCM): Hospital Discharge Screening Criteria for High Risk Older Adults. Finish the Story Assignment The “Finish the Story” assignment is the same for all cases. Learners have seen the older adult at several snapshots in time. This last assignment in each of the cases calls for the student to “finish the story” and relate where they see the older adult or older couple about three months after their last encounter. This assignment should give faculty insight into what students have learned from the unfolding case.
