Case Study:
Rosalee Johnson, 72yrs, is a resident at Rose Gardens Aged Care Facility. Rosalee and her husband of 48 years, Mario (aged 78yrs), have lived in their home together about 10Km from Rose Gardens up to 18 months ago when it became apparent Rosalee needed assistance with managing her diabetes and associated nephritis. Rosalee and Mario have two children together, Gina and Joseph. Joseph (43yrs) lives with his wife and 2 children and Gina (46yrs), lives with her husband of 15yrs. Gina is a Legal Guardian & Enduring Guardian for Rosalee and Mario. Kathleen is a Registered Nurse working at Rose Gardens and knows the family well as she has cared for Rosalee over the duration of her admission.
Two weeks ago, Gina visited on Friday instead of Mario, Kathleen was on shift and was allocated the team leader when Gina spoke to her away from Rosalee in the corridor advising her that Mario had died peacefully in his sleep at home 3 days ago. Gina told Katrina she had not yet informed the facility or anyone on the day and planned to do so as the day went on. Gina asked that no member of staff tell Rosalee that Mario had died.
She stated the reason for this was that so she could stress that Rosalee must not be told about Mario's passing. Gina informed Kathleen that when Rosalee asked where Mario is, Gina said he had a fall at home and was in hospital. Gina expressed her fears to Kathleen that if she told her mother (Rosalee) that her father (Mario) had died, her mother would die from a broken heart. Gina told Kathleen that she planned to tell Rosalee that Mario needed to be moved into a nursing home over the next few weeks.
Kathleen said nothing for the remainder of her shift. The following week, as Kathleen put Rosalee's lunch in her room, Rosalee said to Kathleen...
"I am worried, I know something is wrong, Mario would never not visit without calling me. Where is he?"
Kathleen approaches the room window to open the curtains as she prepares to respond......
