Improvement in physical strength

Harry has improvement in physical strength  and walking  ability.  In two months he  managed short walks without relying on walking frame. His muscles seem to be getting stronger and he is very pleased with himself when he doesn’t rely on his walking frame.

How will you assist Harry to be as independent as possible while ensuring he uses available support when it is necessary?

What will you do with your observations of Harry’s improved physical strength and his ability to walk unassisted for short periods.

Harry has just started leaving the residence once per month for a day to visit his daughter and her husband on her farm. They come and pick him up and then bring him back after the day is over. You notice after one of these trips that he has bruises all over his upper arms. You ask him how he got the bruises and he just shrugs it off and says it’s nothing, he hasn’t even noticed them. Harry is rather melancholy but you can see he is upset and he keeps rubbing the bruises.

What will you do in this situation and why? Use your organisation’s policies and procedures in this case to guide your answer. In your answer, please identify the name of the organisational procedure you would follow.
