You review the situation by having a discussion with Mr. G. and several discussions with other staff on the floor. It becomes clear to you that Mr. G. needs more personal hygiene care than he can provide for himself or that the facility can provide. You present this information to the administrator, Ms. Miller. Ms. Miller contacts Mr. G’s son, Ted, and explains the situation. She offers the son the option to pay for extra services from the facility or to hire an external Personal Care Assistant.

Over a cup of coffee, he explains that while Mr. G’s hygiene has significantly improved he has new concerns he wants to run by you.

He and Mr. G. were at the mall buying a birthday gift for one of the grandchildren. Mr. G. was expressing anger and confusion about the medications his doctor is prescribing.

As the conversation progressed Mr. G. confided the following to Greg. He is thinking of stopping his statin medication under the advice of his PCA, Gloria. Gloria was asking him about side effects from his medications. Mr. G. thinks that he has been experiencing some of these side effects and wonders if his lack of bladder control might be from his medications. He acknowledges feeling deeply embarrassed by having to wear adult “diapers.” Mr. G. told him that Gloria was also showing him news articles regarding potential dangers of taking statins long term.

Cut to Ms. Miller’s office You and Greg ask to meet with Ms. Miller. You express your concerns about Gloria overstepping her role and the potential medical risks for Mr. G who has a significant history of cardiac disease. At the same time, you don’t want to impinge on the working relationship he has with Gloria as he is very fond of her and has improved since her hiring. Your charge: Ms. Miller decides to call a meeting of Mr. G’s entire care team (see team listed above). She asks you to prepare an SBAR for the meeting.
