Scenario

Graeme has dementia and has been exhibiting some challenging behaviours at the support workers. You come on shift and read the case notes left. The last entry said that Graeme spat the food out at the carer and refused to eat anything else. You take note of this and go in to say good evening to Graeme. As you enter, you see him swilling his dentures around in his mouth. You verbally say, 'Good evening, Graeme, how was your dinner?' knowing that he hasn't had much. Graeme tells you that the service here is terrible and that his teeth are talking to him and stopping him from being able to eat. You ask Graeme if you could have a look at his teeth and he says, 'Sure thing love' and he takes them out and shows you his gummy smile. You tell Graeme he has a wonderful smile and ask if his mouth feels okay, inspecting the dentures and noting that they weren't fitting in his mouth correctly. You take an observation that there is a slight pressure mark on Graeme's gum and note that in your observations chart.

1) Explain why Graeme's behaviour may have changed towards you and not the other staff.

2) Explain who should you report your observations to.
