Mental Health Case: George Palo
Documentation Assignments
1. Document your findings related to the focused assessment regarding Mr. Palo’s possible cognitive decline and depression. Include his responses to your assessment.
- The findings related to the focused assessment involve the loss of his wife and recent passing of his dog Max contributing to his possible cognitive decline and depression. Mr. Palo states that “If I try to eat or shower, I get so tired that I give up”. When asked about having energy to the activities that give him enjoyment, the patient stated: “I would like to go take walks like I used to, but I don’t do it so much anymore”. George is demonstrating a lack of interest in the activities that he once used to enjoy which may indicate depression.
2. Document your findings related to the assessment of Mr. Palo associated with the Geriatric Depression Scale screening
tool. Include his responses to your assessment.
-The Geriatric Depression Scale screening tool indicates that Mr. Palo is depressed as he scored 10 points out of a possible 15. Mr. Palo marked that he is not satisfied with his life and lacks the interest of doing what he used to enjoy. When asked what was going on with him today, he stated: “Sometimes I’m not sure where I am or what is happening. It scares me”. George lost his wife three years ago and just recently lost his dog, Max. Grief is taking over Mr. Palo and he even stated that “Max gave me a reason to live and now he’s gone too”.
3. Referring to your feedback log, document all nursing care provided and Mr. Palo’s response to this care.
