Janelle Case Study 78yrs female CVA

Janelle Waldrop is a 78-year-old female who is living at her daughter's home after suffering a mild CVA. She has some residual weakness on her right side and needs assistance with ambulation and activities of daily living. The current plan is to have Mrs. Waldrop stay with her daughter for a few weeks until she is stronger and safe enough to return to her own home. Her physician has authorized home health nursing and physical therapy to work on medication management, medication education, strengthening exercises, and safe ambulation techniques. Mrs. Waldrop is first seen by the home health registered nurse, who conducts the initial assessment.
