Read the case study and then answer the questions below. Lou (preferred pronouns: she, her) is a 95-year-old who has been living with her grandson, Wayne (preferred pronouns: he, him), for the past 5 years due to dementia. Lou has a history of high blood pressure, dementia, Escherichia coli (E. coli), and high cholesterol. Due to dementia and repeated episodes of E. coli, Lou’s nutritional status has declined. Lou has become weak and unsteady when walking and she spends most of her time in her hospital bed. Lou has a sitter who keeps her company during the day while Wayne is at work. Upon bathing her, Wayne notices two red areas on Lou’s hip and shoulder. Three days later, Wayne notes the areas are now open and draining clear fluid, and he finds Lou’s heels are both red after removing her socks. Wayne calls his sister for help. Upon arrival, Wayne’s sister quickly identifies that their grandmother has developed pressure ulcers on the shoulder, heels, and hip. Wayne’s sister discovers the sitter has not been repositioning Lou or doing personal care for her incontinence.
