Three days after admission the nurse enters the room to check on the delivery of the breakfast tray. Occupational therapist is in the room demonstrating to the client how to use their left hand to feed self. When the client attempts to use the fork, they drop food onto the floor. The client throws the fork across the room in anger and pushes the tray aside. The client’s partner begins to cry and states, “Oh, what are we going to do? I am never going to be able to take care of him at home. Yesterday the almost fell when I was helping him transfer from the wheelchair to the toilet!” The occupational therapist looked at the client and suggested they stop at this time and try again at lunch. The client nodded their head and leaned back in bed with their face turned away from their partner. The nurse realized that an interprofessional team meeting with the client and their partner was needed.
