As a human service professional, please review the following case and answer the required
questions.
Betsy is a 67-year-old woman, living alone in a 1 room apartment. A visiting nurse has provided
services three times a week since Betsy was discharged from a hospital three weeks ago where
she was treated for anemia and uncontrolled adult-onset diabetes. Next week will be the last
week for nurse visits, as the sores on her feet are healing. The nurse reports to you that Betsy has
smelled of alcohol on three recent visits. When the nurse asked her about this, she responded,
“Oh, I drink very little. I do drink a little nip for medicinal purposes and that makes me feel
better.”
Betsy has no family in the immediate area. She never married and retired 5 years ago after
working as a secretary. She states she lost all of her friends when she quit working. She is not
involved in any groups or organizations. She states she watches TV and has her groceries
delivered. She has a small pension and social security to live on. She does have a former co-
worker who checks on her, but Betsy does not view her as a friend. This co-worker reports she
has had to wash Betsy’s bedding because of dried vomit on the bedding. This lady also takes out
Betsy’s trash and reports there is always several liquor bottles in the trash. In addition, the friend
is concerned because Betsy does not shower or bathe, and her apartment smells “terrible.” Betsy
sent the housekeeper away when she tried to clean the apartment thoroughly. The housekeeper
has now reposted, and she is going to quit. The person who checks on her is very concerned
about what may happen next to Betsy.
Answer the following questions:
What are the positives in this scenario? What are the negatives? Discuss.
