Day Two Wednesday7/6/06:
Today was another busy day where we spent most of the morning working in ward 3. We worked with 3 clients and did home interviews or initial interviews with them to find out what there home was like and what they needed when they returned home so that they could live independently. After morning tea we went up onto Ward one. We had a challenging patient there which may have something to do with the language barrier as she was from a different country. She had had a THJR so we needed to assess her home and what she needed when she got home to assist her. We also told her about the hip precautions following a THJR, this was hard for her to follow and so this is when our problem started…..The next client we did a shower assessment on, to see how capable she was in showering on her own. After assessing her we thought that it was best that she be sent up to A&R for further rehab to regain her confidence and build up her energy levels before returning home.
