[Solved]: As a result of her dementia diagnosis four years…

As a result of her dementia diagnosis four years ago, Maria is taking donepezil (Aricept). A recent transition to a secure residential facility resulted from her wandering from home at night, getting lost, and becoming aggressive with her family members. When Maria arrived at the facility, she was very agitated and upset. The doors have keypads, and Maria does not know the access code. She has tried to follow staff and visitors out of the building several times. There is a high risk that she may wander off to nearby busy roads or wander into the river if she leaves, so staff are very diligent about preventing her from leaving. a) Describe the restrictive practices in place in the above scenario and the rules in place for the above facility. b) Outline how the above scenario may constitute ‘segregation’ and the impacts of this on Maria.
