For this Discussion, review the program case study for the Petrakis family. You will focus not on Helen, but on her mother-in-law, Magda.
What decisions were made about Magda’s treatment without a formal assessment and/or her input? Consider how Christ & Diwan’s (2008) seven domains relate to Magda’s case.
Complete an assessment for Magda and identify the choices that were made without her feedback.
By Day 3
Post a summary of your assessment of Magda’s situation that addresses the seven domains. Fill in the gaps in content as necessary.
Describe ways you would have included Magda in the original assessment and treatment plan. Include questions you would have asked Magda and her professional support system to gain further insight into the situation.
