In-Class Activities for Cognition Case Study
To be used along with the Judy and Karen Jones Case Study courtesy of the National League for
Nursing.
Voice Recording and Scenario questions:
1. What issues do you hear in the monologue that may be related to Judy’s change in mental
status?
Judy is starting to show signs of hallucinating. Judy hears things out of the ordinary, she is
having a difficult time processing the things she is hearing.
2. What are Karen’s strengths? Karen helps her mother out by living in home with her
mother. It helps Judy because her daughter has her in home with her to help her with
daily life.
3. What concerns do you have for Judy and/or Karen?
I have concerns for Judy as she is started to show worse onset signs of hallucinations and
trouble processing normal daily events and communication.
4. What other information would you like to have?
If I knew more info prior to the current living situation it would help understand more of
the whole big picture situation.
5. How do the recent changes in Judy’s health complicate Karen’s ability to manage her
health care needs? Karen is a sweet daughter for caring for her mother the best that she
can but difficulties can show with the hard work it is to take in her mother and not
knowing how Judy will progress with some of these issues is concerning.
Voice Recording:
Judy is having major alterations in mental focus. She is having confusion, disorientation not
aware of the time or people around her. Judy is having unusual strange poor behavior and she is
very disruptive who panics and has a severe aggression.
Karen is very soft hearted and gentle and strong. She has this ability to summarize the dignity
that her mother has and how she was raised and has stories of her brothers and sisters and
parents. Emotional about her father’s death. It was nice that her mother moved back home with
her. She wants to take care of her mother. She is starting to have concerns about her mother
becoming more aggressive and more lost. She doesn’t want to leave her alone. Feeling very
overwhelmed.
Scenario 1:
With Judy showing agitation while in the hospital I am seeing increased difficulty for Judy to be
taken care of soley by her daughter Karen. Karen also shows to be overwhelmed and that it is too
much to take on this care by herself, it seems that Karen is seeing that more medical issues are
occurring that she doesn’t know how to handle on her own even though Judy is in the hospital,
she feels helpless and alone.
