Resisting care

Hi--
RE: RESISTING--please be sure that she is RESISTING (meaning that she is NOT CAPABLE of making decisions, and that a surrogate has made decisions regarding her care plan) not MAKING THE DECISION TO DECLINE/REFUSE/CHANGE "prescribed" or "proscribed" care. Then make the decision--perhaps the CP should include acceptable alternatives under either circumstance.

Podiatry visits should already be on the Physician's order sheet, which is also considered part of the CP.

RE: Restorative plan--Again, figure out if she is RESISTING or DECLINING. If she is CANNOT DO, the plan must be re-evaluated/revised. If DECLINING, try to figure out WHY and go from there. If RESISTING, perhaps revise plan and turn into more of a game, or an activity she likes.
Good luck!
