Referred to tran: LC Transitional Care Unit Medicaid Treatment Length: 3 weeks (approximately) Diagnosis: Pneumonia, CHF, COPD, Type Il diabetes, OA, gout, and TKA (x3 years aga) 1 information: 73 y/o female retired rancher who will ceturn to live alone in singlewide trailer in Emory, three eats, and occasionally her grandson, Phillip. Her health has been declining over the past few years with several short stay hospitalization and difficulty regulating blood sugars. of unsteady gait, deereased overall strength, progressively worse visio! fingertips and taes, She received a score of 24 on MoCA. fional eare unit after short stay at hospital for pncumonia, Physician predicts that ill go home after 3 weeks of treatment with O2 use af night and for exerting activity. and tingling in bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom. Transitional consider Wendy's 01 will be there during i - 2. Pragmatic Factors to Consider Treatment will be af a transitional rchab facility that typically bas access ta more ADL faci Rehab requires a designated amount of therapy. Equipment will ‘be what is in the facility, what the family wants to bring, or what the therapist brings. Treatment has to follow Medicaid guidelines and may not cover all cheonie needs. The therapist must be aware of the medical and ‘hursitig priorities, as well as monitor the patient and their condition during therapy. Therapy is goit el and she may require her ©2 during therapy. Its also important to consider wha py so thal family (grandson) can be included in therapy to hear the information and strategies if she wishes, The therapist must be aware of the medical and nursing prioritics, as well the patient and their condition during therapy. Therapy tienes will have to be scheduled with other appointments in mind (possible PT, nursing, doctor appointments, visitors, meals). Home is.a singlewide in Emory, whieh is rural area a large distance from center. May be alone or with grandson (is he reliable), ities such asa full tw have to as monitor 5. Diagnosis and Fxpected Course Medical Diagnosis: Prewmnonia, Type IT diabetes, CHF, COPD, gout, OA Common Symptoms and Effects of medical ‘events Diabetes: Polyuria, Polydipsia, Recurrent ‘blurred vision, Irritability, Tingling or :mumbness in hands and feet, Fatigue, Weakness, and Asymptomatic ‘General Course: Diabetes is a chronic, systemic disorder. It can contribute to damage ‘of eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels. Although long-lerm complications of diabetes develop gradually, they can ssventually be disabling or even life- threatening. Some of the potential complications of diabetes include: Neuropathy, ‘Cardiovascular Disease, Nephropath: Retinopathy, Foot damage, Skin conditions ©. Scientific Reasoning & Evidence List the barriers to performance typical of this diagnosis: for Diabetes Type I (and all the others) may include the COPM, Health Status Questionnaire, Activity Card Sort, Assessment of Occupational Funetioning- Collaborative Version (persona causation, values, roles, habits, and skills), Occupational Performance History Interview Hf, Occupational Questionnaire, Occupational Profile of Sleep, and a Stress diary. Assessments that evaluate ADL and IADL include Kohiman Evaluation of Living Skills and the Assessment of Mator aud Process Skills, Some clients ‘ay also benefil from completing a Beck Depression Inyentory-I1_ Evaluations for CHF, COPD, gout also may include hand function tests, he PASS, pinch and grip, AMPS, and role checklists, Barriers to perform: # Loss of sensation can decrease functional participation im ADL and JADL + When bload glucose levels re persistently high, a Page tof sed L917 (bacterial and fungal infections), Hearing ‘impairment, and Alzheimer’s discase corp: ‘Symptoms may include ehronie productive ‘cough, dyspnea with exertion, banel ehest- chronic lung over inflation, uses acecssory museles to breathe, Supplemental O2, increased breathlessness, frequent coughing ‘with and without sputum), sneezing, tightness ‘of chest neral Course: Symptoms of COPD typically begin in peaple aged over 40 who have smoked for 20 years or more. A ’smoker's ‘cough’ tends to develop at first. Once ‘symptoms start, if you continue to smoke, there is usually 1 gradual decline over several years. You tend to become more and more breathless. In time your mobility and genetal quality of life may become poor duc to sncreasing breathing difficulties ‘Chest infections tend to become more frequent as time goes by, Flare-ups (exacerbations) of sytiptoms occur from time to tume, typically during a chest intection Ifthe condition becomes severe then heart failure may develop. This is duc to the reduces! level of oxygen in the blood and changes in the lung tissue, which can cause increased pressure in the blood vessels in the lungs. This Increase in pressure can put a strain on the heart muscle, leading to heart failure, Meart failure ean cause various symptoms including, worsening breathlessness and fluid reteition. Respiratory failure is the final stage of COPD, AL this point the lungs are so damaged that the Jevels of oxygen in the blood are low, The ‘waste product of breathing, called carbon diowide (C02), builds up im the blood stream. People with end-stage COPD need palliative care to make them more comfortable and ease any symptoms. Pneumonia: Doctors use antibiotics to treat pneumonia caused by bacteria, the most non cause of the condition, Anibioties have a high cure rate for pneumonia, The doctor will choose the antibiotic based on a number of things. including age, symptoms and how severe they are, and whether they wide range of chronic complications ean occur. ‘These ean include kidney disease, vision loss, heart disease, stroke, and neuropathy, among others Many of these long-term complications can be barriers to performance of activities necessary to successfully self-manage diabetes. Diabetes is also frequently accompanied by depression and anxiety, Treatment: Promote healthy food choices and safe cooking methods; Instruct in safe and appropriate ways to incorporate exercise and physical activity into daily routines, Provide techniques to organize and track medications, Instruct in the use of low-vision and nonvisual devices to-draw up and measure insulin; Instruct and provide strategies to successfully use a talking blood glucose monitor or use any blood «glucose monitor one handed; Incorporate protective techniques and compensate for peripheral sensory loss in activities that involve ‘exposure to heat, cold, and sharp objects; cate in techniques to structure time and simplify activities to cope with depression such as breaking down dietary changes and an exereise program into manageable steps and incorporating them into present daily routines, Can be controlled with diet, exercise and oral hypoglycemic agents Occupational therapy practitioners can assist clicnts to develop simple, conerete, measurable, and achievable selE-management goals consistent with the seven. bbchaviors advocated by the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE). These ADE 7TM Sel Care Behaviors arc: (1) healthy cating, (2) being active, (3) monitoring, (4) taking medications, (5) problem solving, (6) healthy coping, and (7) reducing, risks. Includes not only blood glucose testing but also tracking blood pressure, weight, foot health, and “steps walked” ta ensure the person is elting enough physical activity. Reducing risks eneompasses a diverse group of behaviors including, but not limited to, smoking cessation; foot sel/inspeclions; maintenance of persanal health records; and regular eye, foot, and dental exams, ercating a need for clients to track and diligently attend appointments with their diabetes hrealth care tear.

The number af days to take antibiotics depends on general health, how serious the pneumonia is, and the type of antibiotic being used, Most people see some nprovement in symptoms in 2 to 3 days The most noticeable symptom associated with pncumania is @-cough {most likely with ‘mucus/sputum from your lungs), fever, fast breathing and feeling short of breath, shaking and “teeth-chattering’" chills, ehest pain that often feels worse when you cough or breathe in, fast heartbeat, feeling very tired or very weak, nausea and vomiting, and diacrhea Gout: The most common sign of gout is a nighttime attack of'swelling, tendemess, redness, and shamp pain in the big toe. There can also be a gout attack in the foot, ankle, or knees, or other joints, The attacks can last a few days or many weeks before the pain goes away. Another attack may not happen for ‘months or years.

We can increase Wendy’s occupational performance through creating change in any one of these areas. We can help Wendy improve her own skill level, insight into her situation, and physical activity level and condition as part of the person of this model. We can make changes to the environment adaptive equipment for vision or sensory loss, Finally, we ean make changes to her occupations through making the task simpler or organizing the tasks in an easier and safer way. Making any change to these three different areas ean lead to overall increase in occupational performance, [20 Rehabilitation Model “The rebubilitetion model is more concerned with what the client can do, than ‘what the client can’t do, It utilizes assistive deviews, adaptive techniques, environmental modifications, and compensatory strategies to increase occupational performance, There ure many tasks that Wendy is having trouble with that can be achieved through modification such as a completing tasks in sitting for balance or compensatory strategies used during functional ‘tasks such as cooking. It is important to assist Wendy with the physical needs to help her body work towards being more physically safe and functional, However, some physical ability may not be able 1o be regained, and it is important to incorporate adaptive strategics and equipment to help Wendy compfete the tasks she wants to do. 3 ‘Transthooretical Model ‘The Transtheoretical Model works tawards changing a behavior (ceasing @ | poor habit, or starting s good habit, especially in regards to health). This ‘made! guides the therapist fo effectively educate and train thos at risk fos or ‘who currenily have diabetes to modify current habits and routines and develop new ones to promote a healthier lifestyle and minimize disease Progression, A person may not yet be ready for change, in this case, positive suggestion, and education for the client can help shift towards the client thinking about change--before taking actions for change. An OT's role is ‘mast important during the action phase. A client may feel vulnerable and cessily relapse, as an OT, help maintain system of actions, and daily programs and plans, Understand that relapse is a part of change, and is another obstacle to expect and meet without discouraging the client, The goal of maintenance is for the clien! to possess self-efficacy, as an OT we reinforce an environment and support system that promotes this success. 4 Biomechanical Model The biomechanical model is meant for people wha experience limitations with moving freely, stability end motion, limited joint range of motions, muscle weakness, and reduced strength and endurance. Improving balance and enduranec in order to prevent falls can he achieved through the biomechanical model. The use of exereise programs for clients with Diabetes ‘ean be effective to prevent falls, increase oscupational performance, and prevent further risks and declining health, Though some performance may hot be able to be regained, it would be important to work on Wendy's care strength and overall balance and endurance to make sure she is safe or Lifestyle redesign Page dap Revived 195)? valuation: What Asseysment tools and other means of assessment will you use? 1-11 Top Down Assessment: Prioritize onc Occupation to abserve the client perform __ Observed Oecupation Ritionale/How will you use this information T would like to observe Wendy make a simple meal like a sandwich. She will have to choose the ingredients, initiate the steps, manipulate the ingredient containers, navigate the kitchen area, and complete movements This task wauld consist of multiple steps and movernents that will be important to observe. I would like to see a number of motor and processing skills ina functional task, 1 want to soe her ability to initiate, continue, and terminate movements. | want to sec her fine and bilateral motor coordination to handle utensils and manipulate Ingredients and containers. | would leke to See her ability to navigate the necessary ingredients and layout of the kitchen, | want to see what strategies she uses to conserve energy or support her needs. | want to see her move and transport items (ability, strategies) I want to see what kind of sequence she is able to follow. How does she problem solve through the task? Her performance can help make a judgment on the degree of independence, effectiveness, efficiency and safety in the patient's occupational performance gain insight into motor and process skills which hinder occupational performance or, as it may be, support i. Acquire an indication of the options to improve ‘occupational performance: whether it seems possible for her to ‘improve actual skills or whether interventions need to focus on compensations by modifying activities, he environment or the amoust ‘of support. Vou eat alo sereen possible vision and sensory issues in a functional task to decide if more complex testing is requir Method/Tool Rationale‘What is being Assessed 1 PASS— Money management (dressing, medication, cooking) 2. Vision (acuity, pursultsitracking, saceades, convergence, ROM, peripheral) Amsler grid testing (central vision and visual fields) ‘PASS is a performance-based, criterion-referenced, and clent-centered ‘observational tool, The purpose of the PASS is to have a holistic snapshot (petson-task-env ironment) of the client's ability to live ‘independently and safely in the community by assessing performance ‘on various ADLs and IADLs. This test also allows for ratings on independence, adequacy, und safety outside of the typical can they or can't they finish the task This task will also allow for the upportunity to observe Wendy's cognition, ability to sequence through a task, problem solve, altend to a ‘ask, coordination, completion of ADL and LADL, and her posture and ‘body movement during tasks. ‘Wendy states that her vision is progressively worse than two years ago. Diabetes ean cause retinopathy and she may have inercasingly decreased vision affecting her occupational performance and safety. It would be beneficial to know how hee vision is to help her develop ‘compensatory strategies and ways to work with the vision she has. 1 ‘wuld do the H-paticrn with a pen to look at saccades and ROM, | would bring the pen fram around Wendy's head to test her visual ficld and peripheral vision. The Amsler grid testing would look at possible ‘centtal vision or visual field issues by having Wendy look ata grid. ‘This would consist of a quick sercen to see where issues with her vision are, Has she been to an eye doctor? Information on Wendy's vision may merit a referral before compensatory strategies are Page Sof Revived 1/9817 incorporated for loss of vision: 3. BUE MMT and AIPROM ILis important to assess Wendy's BUE MMT and activelpassive ROM, ‘The information stated that she has overall decreased strength. | would like to see where her current level of strength and ROM is, how itis affecting her fietional perfarmance, and how it is iffected over time, Tawould like to observe how long it takes for hee to initiate movement and what the movement looks like, The diagnosis of OA may also affect her joint movement in her RUE, [ would lie to if she has compensaiory movernent, During these tests, it may be helpful to also be aware of time, reflexes, and sensitivity to touch (possible neuropathy issues) Sensation (Monofilament (pressure), sterengnosis, two-point, pain, and temperature The case states that Wendy has tingling in her toes and Fingertips. One of the possible symptoms of diabetes is neuropathy, which can make the completion of functional tasks difficult as well as dangerous. It Would be beneficial to know what kind of sensory deficits are occurring and where, to plan treatment accordingly. This information would also be helpful to track (0 assess whether the condition is worse The sensation testing should be done on bilateral hands and fect. It ‘would be important fo observe for any sores or skin damage during this time 5. Balance/Pall risk Berg Balance Or the PPT -The Physical Performance Test assesses multiple domains of physical funetion using obscrved pertormance of tasks that simulate activities of daily living of various degrees of difficulty in “elderly persons. 6, Home Evaluation SAFER TOOL — or an evaluation ‘modified to be similar (but can be done by picture, skype. or interview) It is stated that Wendy fas decreased overall strength loss of sensation, and unsteady gait. | would be concemed with her balance and risk for falls, The Berg Balance Scales is designed to assess static balance and fall risk in adult populations, This scale measures balance among older people with impairment in balance function by assessing the performance of functional tasks. I want to sec how Wendy's balance is and note what factors may be leading to safety concerns. When balance js impaired. the client may have difficulty performing daily tasks that require standing, such as meal preparation and fimetional mobility. The Berg Balance Seale assesses multiple areas such as retrieving objects ‘from the floor, sitting unsupported, and reaching forward with ‘outstretched arm. = ‘Wendy will eventually be retuming home where she lives alone with her many pets, It is important to know how the home is set up so you ean assess ways fo make sure she is safc and independent at home. ‘Dependent an the way the home is setup, differemt recommendations ‘for adaptive equipment and strategies will he taught. The information ‘from a home evaluation can assist the therapist with training sate mobility, transfers, and other strategies accordingly to the set up of the home, The information will guide the therapist through a better understanding of how the patient would recover and live at home, How big is the bedroom? Are there safety hazards? Is il crowded? Is it easily accessible? Are there grab bars? Is the bathroom on the the bedroom? ‘Consider the fact that the home is rural and far away > May need to sce pictures or do a skype evaluation. Page oof 13 Revised 1/9817 15.

Her assessnient would consist of maximum complexity. The level of clinical decision-making consists of haximum complexity. The CPT code is based off of the lowest level of compleaity which was maximum, and therefore the code is determined as maximum complexity (87167) 17.
