Abstract

In April 2006, a 92-year-old Caucasian widow, may C., fell in her kitchen 10 miles west of Yakima, Washington, resulting in a compound fracture of her right femur. may called her LifeLine service for help and was transported to Providence Yakima Medical Center. Surgical repair of her leg was delayed for 3 oe days due to a doctor shortage in the area. While in surgical recovery may suffered Delirium (DSM-IV-TR 293.0) and had to be restrained for her own safety for several hours, but returned to baseline mental status within 24 hours (A. Stultz, personal communication, 4/18/2006). On release from the hospital may was placed in a nursing home for physical rehabilitation. In 2000, may broke her left femur and hip, returning home with normal cognition after three months, but this time she has exhibited psychotic symptoms and signs of dementia in addition to pre-existing physical and mental health issues and is not expected to return home. may was offered an adult family home placement in 7/2006, as both family and nursing home staff agreed she would benefit from a more home-like environment, but may refused believing it was a plan to trick her out of her remaining money.
