Bobby, age 46, liveswith his wife in a 2-story home. Bobby works at News Paper Companywhere he is a chief editor. He usually complains that his job isextremely stressful, he plans to find a new job shortly. Recently,he has been feeling quite exhausted while taking his daily walks.“I cannot even walk for 30 minutes without feeling out of breath.”This morning he shows up in the emergency room after falling downtwo flights of stairs in his house. An X-ray confirms that hefractured his right ankle. A cast was applied, and he is ordered touse crutches and to remain NWB for two weeks.
Bobby is mad with himself for notbeing more careful at home. He told his wife, “This is seriousbecause it is not my first fall, in fact, it is my second fracturein 2 years.” Tonight, at home, Bobby was not able to go to thebathroom on his own. He has difficulty getting in and out of bedand although he is using the crutches, he still needs some supportfrom his wife. Not being able to use the crutches to move aboutfreely frustrates him. I am very anxious to “go back to normalfunctioning,” Bobby tells his very supportive wife.
Can you please help me with a DATANORM for this case study?
