Medication self-management
The medication self-management will important for Mr. S as Mrs. S stated that her
husband is forgetful. The case study however, reveals that Mr. S only depends on Mrs. S in
the domain of cooking, cleaning and laundry. He however, can accomplish his own physical
needs. Thus the medication self-management plan for Mr. S will include making a detailed
medication chart for him and handing the charts in different parts of the house like in-from of
the bed, dining table and living area so that Mr. S never fails to take his own medication.
Assuring the self-medication management for Mr. S will help to reduce the mental burden
from Mrs. S. This will help in improving the mental health and well-being for both Mr. and
Mrs. S. The presence of nocturnal urination shows that Mrs. S might be suffering from type 2
diabetes mellitus. Decreasing the anxiety quotient will help to reduce the severity of diabetes
mellitus and thereby helping to assure a comfortable sleep at night for Mrs. S. Separate
medication self-management chart for Mrs. S will also help to improve the self-medication
management for Mrs. S as well. Separate medication chart will be prepared both husband and
wife during the first or the single time home visit under the guidance of Mrs. S. Increase in
the medication self-management will reduce the chances of unwanted hospitalization and
thus reducing the cost of care (Hommel et al. 2017). Reduction in the cost of care will be
helpful for Mr and Mrs S because they have fixed monthly income.

Use of a dynamic patient-centered record, the personal health record that has patient-
related clinically relevant information in an easy-to-comprehend format
The patient-centered record and personal health record along with patient-related
clinically relevant information will be used to generate a person-centered care plan for Mrs.
S. This person centered care plan for Mrs. S will focus on generation of patient centered diet
plan for Mrs. S. the patient-centered diet plan for Mrs. S will take into consideration of the
drastic weight-loss of Mrs. S, her cardiac health condition (as she had previous medical
history of heart attack) and her condition of nocturnal urination and sleep apnea. Following a
proper diet plan will help the Mr. S to improve the overall health-condition. The preparation
of the diet planning will be done under the presence of a trained yet professional dietician
(Cioara et al., 2018). Mrs. S was admitted to the hospital following an accidental fall at home
that resulted in the hip fracture. Thus person-centered care plan for Mrs. S will include proper
occupational care planning in order to reduce the chances of accidental fall. The easy to
comprehend diet plan will help to improve the overall physical health. The easy to
comprehend health-format will help Mrs S to abide easily abide by the healthy life-
interventions and thereby helping to promote health and well-being. The diet plan will be
mailed to Mrs. S following her home visit with proper tabulation of the daily diet chart in
proper ratio and she will be asked to list the chart in front of kitchen. The occupational
therapy plan will mainly focus on proper indoor lightening, proper arrangement of the
upholstery and use of high traction shows.
