These different elements are important, because they are indicating that Ms. Lee needs to seek out regular treatment. As a result, some kind of consistent assessment must take place, in order to ensure that she is not subject to having a serious fall. This is because, of the overt signs that she is exhibiting from the side effects of the medication and her age. (Henrich, 2007, pp. 50 -- 57)

Based on the fact that Ms. Lee does not want to have an extensive diagnostic evaluation at the hospital, how would one approach her care?

The most logical approach is to have Ms. Lee go through a series of evaluations inside her home with health care professionals. This could be accomplished by having the doctor visit her apartment at least once per week. At the same time, select caregivers could begin to work with Ms. Lee on a regular basis. This will prevent her from suffering from the debilitating effects of the various diseases. While allowing her to receive, consistent monitoring for possible slip and fall accidents.

Prioritize the interventions that would prevent complications and maintain her quality of life as much as possible.

The biggest obstacle that will be faced by any kind of intervention with Ms. Lee, is that she is will want to maintain some kind of autonomy. To achieve this objective we should approach her in a series of steps. As, the care giver is spending more time with her as a kind of assistant.
Once this occurs, we can then begin to point out how the doctor could conduct various examinations inside her apartment (which would help to support her autonomy). At the same time, this will allow for constant monitoring. This will prevent her medical conditions from become worse, while making certain that she is not subject to any kind of slip and fall.

These different elements are significant, because they are showing how the trained health care professional can have an impact on the underlying treatment options that are being provided to Ms. Lee. This is based on the fact that she is susceptible to: a possible slip and fall. Then, there is the reality that her underlying health conditions could become worse. Therefore, our basic approach is to encourage her to have the same amounts of autonomy. As, a trained caregiver will spend more time with her and the doctor will conduct check ups inside her apartment. If this kind of methodology can be utilized we will help her to maintain the status quo. While, protecting Ms. Lee from: the sense of isolation that she is experiencing.
