Before you begin creating your respond , read the following scenarios. You will choose one scenario to discuss in your video.
Scenarios:
1. Georgia has been a resident of an independent-living community for approximately 2 years. In recent weeks, staff
members have noticed that Georgia has been missing the noon meal often and on one occasion, she left her front door
open. Her physical health is good. She takes medication for blood pressure and moderate arthritis. Her family lives
approximately an hour away, and Georgia usually has visitors at some point during the weekend. During the last visit,
Georgia called her grandson Jack by his father’s name, David.
2. Andy is a 12-year-old child of older parents. While he has always performed well on multiple-choice exams, he has
difficulty organizing his thoughts for written work. Oftentimes, he has trouble with his verbal delivery when teachers ask
him to present information. Though he has friends through his church and junior baseball team, his ability to organize

ideas and communicate effectively is beginning to impact Andy’s life: thus, his referral for your help. His parents report
that Andy passed a pre-school physical examination with no medical issues noted.
3. Brody cannot be told what to do. This 15-year-old’s single mother has come to you for answers about what she terms as
“above and beyond normal teenage disobedience.” School assessments demonstrate that Brody’s intellectual abilities
are somewhat above average, but his grades suffer due to his tendency to become annoyed and pick arguments with his
teacher and other school staff members. Brody’s mom indicates that he has no history of drug use and has only been in
trouble within the academic setting, but she worries his argumentative nature will land him in greater difficulty as he
continues through high school.
