Bob is prescribed medication for his Alzheimer’s disease. He is also prescribed medication for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and takes analgesia for Arthritis.
Bob has just been discharged from an orthopaedic ward at his local hospital, following a fall at home. Bob sustained a fractured neck of femur that required surgery and physiotherapy treatment. As the hospital has been extremely busy Bob has been discharged with no follow up in place or care provision at home. It has been noted that Bob has become more confused whilst in hospital, and although mobilising he often forgets to use his walking frame.
