Martha is taking medications for hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, and urinary retention. She has a history of recurrent UTIs (approximately 2-3 hospitalisations per year for UTIs) and obesity. Martha also complained of pain and swelling in her right hand which appeared 1 week ago. Yesterday morning, Martha started showing behaviours which is not who she is. Martha refused to get out of bed and appeared to be confused and disoriented. This was noted by the health care staff from a community service who were assigned to assist Martha with her ADLs. She was brought to hospital today. Martha is confused at times and is very anxious regarding her disease, its prognosis, hospital stay, and her presumed forthcoming discharge to an aged care facility. She can understand English if it is spoken slowly and can respond using broken words. She lives alone at home and all her relatives live far away. She uses reading glasses, and her hearing is good. She is obese and has walking difficulties. She ambulates using a four-wheel frame (4WF) with assistance. Therefore, she is a high falls risk and needs assistance in performing activities of daily living (ADLs). She has an intravenous cannula in her right cubital fossa (inserted in the Emergency department). Martha is vegetarian and prefers to have a late dinner after 8 pm. Martha is allergic to Penicillin and develops anaphylaxis if administered. Martha was reviewed by the doctors in the emergency department and the following plan of care was advised until a detailed review by the consultant team is done.
